#You should watch legend of yunze by the way

I truly admire how much Pin has been fighting back the rule of her aunt. She's a very obedient person, so her rebellion is not as firery as Anin's, but I found the scene of her bowing down to beg her aunt extremely powerful. I felt it very strongly. Even if it's not anger, or bold, upfront resistance, it's not passive or weak either. She IS standing up for their relationship, by showing the extent of her devotion not to her aunt but to Anin and their love. She is showing what she's ready to do. I am honestly not familiar with the weight of such a deep bow culturally, but I would assume that it means A LOT since we've never seen any character of this social status doing it before in the show (except her aunt when she met her sadly dead girlfriend, but it was to indicate subordination since she was going to work for her. And frankly, the parallel is parallelling). This moment of confrontation between them might be my favorite of the episode frankly, except Anin's declaration at the end OF COURSE
Pin resisted as much as she could in all the ways she could, and I'm not blaming her for breaking in the next episode and accepting the mariage. She does respect and love her aunt, and she is also very aware of her social status. She will do her duty because she's been raised to know her place and I would never blame her for that. It's just heartbreaking and unfair, but it's also very understandable.
#Bowing as a form of rebellion and strength...Interesting#In a completely different cultural context and situation to the point where I don't know why my brain made the connection#it reminded me of Legend of Yunze season two when Zhaoyun bows in ''thankfulness'' to her teacher as she denounces all of his hypocrisy#I think I thought about it because both times it was a powerful act of resistance against a parental figure#And it was a huge slay#but anyway that's just how I perceived it with a western point of view so maybe don't listen to me#Although even if I think bowing in China and Thailand is probably very different#I would guess that in every culture bowing down on your knees with your head almost on the ground is pretty deep and sincere#You should watch legend of yunze by the way#the loyal pin#anin#pin#anin x pin#aninpin#the loyal pin ep 12

edit: i realised the phrasing of this post came across harsher than it was intended. so i’ve changed the wording. i’ve left the original wording in but striked through because i don’t want to hide the fact that i made a mistake
