#trailer pilot

My only complain with the trailer is this! Why is my girl still playing a background character?! 😭

I'm already so intrigued by the new trailer of The Loyal Pin. Something caught my eyes when I watched it and this is the exchange of the hairpin between Pin and Anin.

Hairpin has a history in Chinese Culture and I've discovered that Thai Chinese are the largest minority group in the country and have been deeply ingrained into all elements of Thai society. This is purely speculation and I'm not a historian. I'm just making deduction from what I've seen in the trailer.

In ancient China, hairpin were a status symbol. They could also symbolize the transition from childhood to adulthood. Hair and hair accessories can have philosophical, romantic, and cultural meanings. Exchanging an hairpin could mean you give special attention to someone else. Especially as Pin isn't a princess like Anin. It can also be seen as the equivalent of the western version of giving a ring to your betrothed. By giving the hairpin to Pin, Anin is showing her interest and desire to pursue a romantic relationship with her.

The series also implies that Anin is spending a lot of time with the missionaries and how it affects her way of speaking and behaving. So, it may be also why there is a ring exchange too.

I can't wait to see if I'm guessing right or if I'm just creating all this drama in my head.
