The Wangquan clan are awful and I really hate hypocrites like that. Except for Fei and Tingyun. Hong Ye frustrates me the most. At least the villains admit what they are. He seems to believe he’s in the right, which makes him even more exasperating. "Do you even see me as your father anymore?" WTF!!! ARE YOU FKN SERIOUS?! DO YOU EVEN SEE HIM AS YOUR SON?!?! OH GOD... I LOATHE HIM! It feels like his judgement died along with the people he cared about, so I find it hard to sympathize with him.... And I won't til the end. I won't fkn care when he will sacrifice himself or dies whatsoever. He's awful!
He didn't lift a freaking finger while his hypocrite clan almost killed his son, yet when the Fu Gui defended himself Hong Ye attacked him? It’s infuriating... I want to punch him so bad!!! I won't shed a single tear when he's gonna die.
Do people who watched Love In Pavillon still have sympathy for him after todays episodes? I guess I won't ever watch Love in Pavillon. I wouldn't be able to watch it knowing what kind of person he turns into.
Binge-watched the episodes over the last few days and it turned out to be such a heart-warming drama! Tbh, I agree with some of the comments, there were definitely too many “main” characters and most of them didn’t really catch my interest.
What makes me a bit sad is that my favorite couple never got to truly explore their relationship phase. It feels like the show wasted the potential of what could’ve been a truly amazing couple. They went from strangers to friends to a slow-burn couple and honestly, they had more depth and chemistry than anyone else in the story. But I guess this wasn’t meant to be a romance drama, more of a slice-of-life one.
Still, I’d absolutely recommend it for the lovely dimple couple (Le and Mai) and the people around them. Especially Le, what a green-flag man! He’s emotionally secure, so gentle and ended up being my favorite character. I also adored his whole Xu family, the mom, the dad, and everyone at the Zhen Qiang restaurant.
Honestly, the drama could’ve just focused on them and the restaurant and Mai's job. It felt so real, authentic and full of heart. I’ll admit, I skipped some of the other storylines, but I rewatched so many scenes with Le, Mai, and Le’s family.
Sorry not sorry, but Hong Ye is just as evil as his enemies and his evil brother. Maybe even worse, because he still believes he’s doing something righteous. His tragic past doesn’t justify his horrible behavior imo.
My gosh, if Huai Zhu could see what kind of person he turned into, she’d be rolling in her grave. Watching Love in the Pavilion after Sword and Beloved feels almost impossible, if one knows in what kind of person he turns into...
Just started this and I’m on ep. 4 now and absolutely loving the Mai You Ge and Xu Jun Le couple. Funny thing is, I originally started watching for Elvis, but that other couple totally stole my heart. They’re so soft, adorable, and just feel so real and authentic. Xu Jun Le has this specific kind of charm that’s hard to put into words. His gaze is so gentle and warm. Also really loving Amy Chen in this one!
Does Mr. Fei perhaps know that Fu Gui has someone in his residence caring for him? Because when Fu Gui went blind he made such a comment: "You're terrible at taking care of yourself. Now, with impaired vision, how are you going to take care of yourself in daily life?"
Sounds like he definitely knows that there is someone lol
Really subtle observation, but I loved how he asked her first if she wanted to be human instead of just turning her into one in that crucial situation. This couple is so soft. I love it 🥰
Honestly, of all the female warriors I’ve seen this year, Fu Yi Xiao felt the most real and badass. Li Qin ate that role up! I really hope she keeps getting more powerful roles like this, because she’s made for them!
You know what else I absolutely loved about this drama? The fair amount of protagonists dying lolIn most war or…
And they almost got me here too... when Lu Ke and Yun Fang were talking in ep. 34 about having a duel after everything was over. “It’s a deal!” That’s usually the classic death flag moment where you just know one of them (or both) won’t make it out alive. I literally rolled my eyes thinking, “Yup, here we go again.” But to my surprise… they didn’t kill either of them!!! I was so happily shocked I could’ve cried. 😭
You know what else I absolutely loved about this drama? The fair amount of protagonists dying lol In most war or revenge dramas, the writers just can’t resist killing off every single sidekick of the leads and I hate that!!! It’s often completely illogical, like they’re killing characters just for the sake of dramatic effect.
This is off and on topic: it was a couple of years ago that I found Kdramas. Somewhere along the crazy binge,…
Me kinda too… But I’ve been watching K-dramas for about 15 years, so when I first started C-dramas, it took me a bit to really get into them. But now? I still watch K-dramas, but C-dramas just hit differently for me. Lately, all my favorite dramas have been C-dramas! ❤️
Finally binge-watched all the final episodes… and wow!!! I loved it!!! This was so damn good! Exactly the kind of angst and action I live for! ❤️
Sure, not every twist and turn was my favorite, but you have to give it to the writers because there wasn’t a single dull moment. This drama kept me on edge from start to finish. 38 episodes packed with action, intrigue, tension, emotions, top-tier acting, insane fight scenes, gorgeous cinematography, tender romance, toxic romance, brotherhood and more. It had everything!
And honestly, I usually hate when dramas are filled with too many villains taking up the screen time. But here? Like 90% of the cast were antagonists, and somehow every single one of them was fascinating and layered. No brainless, one-note villains. They all had depth and personality.
And oh my gosh, the soft spot I developed for that toxic couple. I never expected to get so emotionally attached, but they really had me feeling everything. The writers truly outdid themselves. They made me pity them, root for them and hurt for them. I knew how it would end, but when it finally happened, it still hit hard. And the acting of toxic Jinxiu Emperor really made it even better. Absolutely phenomenal. That whole arc left such a strong impression on me!
I have to say, the writers didn’t give us a single half-baked character. Every role felt intentional and fully realized. The villains in this drama were next-level, some of the best I’ve seen in a long time. I loved the protagonists too, but honestly, when was the last time a show had this many amazing antagonists? I can’t even think of one.
This drama was such a wild, emotional, and entertaining ride. I had so much fun watching it. Just amazing! 🎉
So the Storm Alliance is also full of vengeful cray-cray people now? 😭 Like, why do they all suddenly want to kill their own leader? You seriously can’t trust anyone in this drama, especially not the writers, who were clearly on some wild stuff when they wrote this 😂
Don’t get me wrong, it’s still insanely entertaining to watch, but the whole “everyone has a revenge arc” thing is getting way out of hand lol They should honestly rename this drama to Fated Revenge.
Everyone’s betraying, killing, plotting… Good lord, the former Empress is already dead and doesn't witness those ridiculous people she left behind, but she most probably turning in her grave watching all of them lose their minds 😂
I cant stand the toxic behaviour of FL character... infatuated, narcissistic...it gets on my nerves... Wish to…
what the? Your talking about our Fu Yi Xiao? Her? Toxic? Bro, what are u on? There are dozen of great females in CDramas. Maybe try to watch dramas with your eyes open in the future :)
