Finished 8.5/10 π *long review* What a trip I had with #loveinpavilion If I'm honest, my main reason for watching this drama was for the supporting roles and I was afraid of finding a boring story, However, I found that I enjoyed the overview more than I expected π Now, let's get to what I liked most: 1) The protagonists, although they had criticism about their chemistry or their acting, I really liked them and enjoyed their moments both individually as individuals... I hadn't had the pleasure of seeing them perform before so I will try to look for more projects from both of them in the future π 2) The secondary characters were my main motivation and they didn't disappoint me. The interesting thing is that most of them they achieved quite a bit of relevance after the drama was recorded, so in terms of strategy I feel that helped a lot. I will make a special mention to my king Ding Yuxi who for me had the best cameo of all (I say this very objectively) he managed to exceed my expectations π 3) The special effects and the ost, I must say that they have been my favorites, they were in agreement and managed to capture each of the scenes Now I'm going to talk about what I didn't like about the drama: 1) I feel it was poorly edited, at times there were scene jumps that left me confused and somewhat dazed 2) I feel like the number of episodes took its toll on them. 36 episodes weren't enough. A drama of this caliber deserved at least 50 episodes. They also wasted their time on the scenes, super lazy and silly. 3) There were characters that bored me to death, characters that drove me crazy, arcs that made me sleepy, and some really ugly costumes π The good thing is that this was told so it didn't ruin my beautiful eyes Having said all this, I have to be honest: I knew what to expect and I'm not going to start criticizing it because everything was said in this story being a prequel. There were actions I would have preferred to have been addressed differently, but I'm satisfied with the overall result. This concludes this trip. ππ
DING YUXI THE GREAT ACTOR THAT YOU ARE π I could easily watch a whole drama with Zhang Zheng's story It is not at all easy to play two roles so different from each other, this man deserves much more recognition also his chemistry with meng ziyi was amazing π
It said Ryan Ding and Meng Ziyi are a couple in this drama.
On the social network X and Weibo, the list of love couples within the world of Love in Pavilion came out, and indeed, images of Ding Yuxi and Meng Ziyi in the drama also came out.
Finished 9.5/10 π What a ride we had with Weak Hero Class 2. I think it was one of the most anticipated releases of 2025. Honestly, I liked it more than I thought, and it met most of my expectations. If I'm honest, I was afraid that Netflix would get their hands on the project... But they managed to maintain the story's core:
fighting, friendship, strategy, and drama
all with memorable characters π I want to highlight two performances:
Another one who stood out for me was Lee Jun Young. I don't understand why he doesn't get more recognition. This man can act ANYTHING. π I admire him so much. He truly deserves all the good things. π«Ά I don't give it a 10 because there were a couple of fights I saw on X2 that bored me a little, I admit, but the rest was great.
Finished 8.5/10 π Overall it was good, I liked the acting, I liked the characters, and I liked the couple For 6 episodes it was good, although I noticed some strangely cut and edited scenes, but it doesn't take away from the wonderful journey you feel watching it. The ending seemed predictable to me. I knew that a kdrama with this type of theme would focus more on the personal journey of its protagonist and not on the romance itself. Although I'm allergic to tragic endings, I really liked this ending in particular.
Completed 8.5/10 πIf I had one word to describe this kdrama, it would be: realism.One of the factors I liked most was the way greed and power were portrayed.Each of the characters was wrapped in a web of secrets... Park Hyungsik, what an actor he is! π He was a 10/10 for his characterπ₯ The journey we took with Dongjun and his struggle to give back everything that was taken from him was filled with difficulties and it wasn't perfect or satisfactory which I liked because it shows that revenge is sometimes not the best solutionHu Joon Ho is an excellent villain. His character, besides being cruel, had a charisma that I loved.If I'm honest, his ending was very fitting because he deserved to pay for what he did and live in humiliation.There were two things I didn't like very much: 1) Eunnam's character was given absolute relevance at the beginning, only to then deflate her character and leave everything super flat. What a waste of plot. 2) I wish they'd explored the storyline of the team that helped Dongjun with his revenge more.They just appeared, and then, bam! It's like they vanished into thin air. π€‘ I recommend the drama if you're looking for power and a political thriller full of revenge π
It's from the same writer as The Double. I don't know if you've seen that drama personally. I like a story full of intrigue and politics. It depends on your personal taste. βΊοΈ
Finished 9/10 π (long review) I had a tremendous personal journey with this drama π Between my work, waiting for the episodes to be translated, and avoiding spoilers... finally! I can say I've finished it! Now let's get to the important stuff β€΅οΈ Overall, the story was very good. It's NOT a romantic drama at all, so if you're looking for that, I recommend you skip it. This story is 100% focused on its main protagonist and his journey through lies, secrets and dangers to find what he loves. Chen Duling is an actress I'd only previously seen in TTEOTM, and while she never stood out to me, I feel like she nailed this character and gave a magnificent performance. π Xin Yunlai had seen him in TLOSL as a secondary character, I really liked how he acted here... although his wardrobe was criticized and the fact that he doesn't have the "face for the historical ones" I feel that he brought out his character and he did it very well. π SPECIAL MENTION TO: Wen Zheng Rong πππππ A tremendous actress, my goodness, a supporting character who captured my heart π That woman deserves all the recognition in the world. Xiwen's character took me on a great journey full of emotions. I still suffer with her fate. ππ
What I didn't like about the drama: The last 10 episodes were kind of mediocre for me. I think the excitement of the first part of the plot was lost a bit. The ending left me unsatisfied. I think these endings open to interpretation are in trend, but the truth is, I hate it. I still enjoyed it, and it'll be a drama I'll remember fondly. π

Ryeo, how Baku was 1000/1000, what an incredible character, I fell in love with him the first time I saw him π€©
Another one who stood out for me was Lee Jun Young.
I don't understand why he doesn't get more recognition.
This man can act ANYTHING. π
I admire him so much. He truly deserves all the good things. π«Ά

The relationship seems more like complicity and mutual affection than love.
(long review)
I had a tremendous personal journey with this drama π
Between my work, waiting for the episodes to be translated, and avoiding spoilers... finally! I can say I've finished it!
Now let's get to the important stuff ‡οΈ
Overall, the story was very good.
It's NOT a romantic drama at all, so if you're looking for that, I recommend you skip it.
This story is 100% focused on its main protagonist and his journey through lies, secrets and dangers to find what he loves.
Chen Duling is an actress I'd only previously seen in TTEOTM, and while she never stood out to me, I feel like she nailed this character and gave a magnificent performance. π
Xin Yunlai had seen him in TLOSL as a secondary character, I really liked how he acted here... although his wardrobe was criticized and the fact that he doesn't have the "face for the historical ones" I feel that he brought out his character and he did it very well. π
SPECIAL MENTION TO:
Wen Zheng Rong πππππ
A tremendous actress, my goodness, a supporting character who captured my heart π
That woman deserves all the recognition in the world.
Xiwen's character took me on a great journey full of emotions.
I still suffer with her fate. ππ
What I didn't like about the drama:
The last 10 episodes were kind of mediocre for me.
I think the excitement of the first part of the plot was lost a bit.
The ending left me unsatisfied. I think these endings open to interpretation are in trend, but the truth is, I hate it.
I still enjoyed it, and it'll be a drama I'll remember fondly. π
Wonderful work. π
But now, let's get to the important stuff ‡οΈ
Overall, the story was very good.I think the highlights of all are the updates on Park Eunbin and Sul Kyung Gu π
They had already seen previous work from both of them so they knew that a masterclass in acting was coming but I never thought it would be SO GOOD to the point that they both managed to give us an incredible and satirical relationship between teacher and psychopathic studentOne thing I love about Eunbin is that she's an actress who looks for a role that can offer her a personal challenge and always comes out on top π
This speaks of the great work and commitment she has in each of her roles as an actress.
Now, I'll go over two aspects I didn't like very much:
I think the script lacked some depth in the final chapters.I felt the plot lacked more impact.The ending left me very unsatisfied.I think the chapter cuts and editing took a toll on it, which makes me sad. However, it's a short series that you can enjoy and binge-watch.
I don't know if they've left open the possibility of a second season? But who knows, maybe time will give us the answer. Even so... I'm going to promote this kdrama because the world needs to meet psycho Eunbin π€©
That concludes my review π
Sorry for the spam π€
This kdrama lives up to its title.What a ride we had with only 6 episodes.I'm a firm believer that karma is a powerful thing, and this story proves it.impeccable script handling, striking performances and astonishing plot twistsI adore Minah, and although her role wasn't very prominent, she showed one of my favorite performances of hers.More than anyone, I prayed that she would get her justice, and in the end, that's how it turned out π₯Ή
I'm not giving it a full score because I would have liked a better execution with a certain character.But it's still enjoyable and perfect for a marathon.
100% recommended β¨π
First K-drama of the year I give 10 and without a doubt a masterpiece π
A journey through the years filled with love but also many difficulties and painA story that takes us to the struggle of women to fulfill their dreams and be happyWhen you watch this story, you feel like you're putting all your feelings and thoughts into each of the subplots.A magnificent script and beautiful performances.I hope I can erase this story from my memory so I can revisit it as if it were the first time.
