As a fan of TSY  I was very excited for this and even planned my holiday to binge this drama. The premise of brocade being the theme does not sound entirely exciting to be honest but with TSY leading I was confident it would be a great show nonetheless, for the first half, it truly was, but after ep 30 it all went downhill and there was no saving grace for this drama.

The chemistry between the leads are amazing and I was eating up all their interactions especially after they got married which to me was the highlight of the show. The tone from the beginning gives off a very light hearted drama with minimal, if any, angst so was I in for a nasty surprise when the entire tone shifted from ep 30 to a very dark, bloody, and angst where nothing really makes sense cause prince bai who is supposed to be this cold cool villian with a big political agenda suddenly turns into a pathetic delusional love boy, throw in some uncessary character deaths just for the sake of shock factor that actually adds no real value to the plot, this show went down a landslide. Don't get me started with the so called happy ending.... its like the writers ran out of steam from the last 10 ep and decided to give 0 effort in the ending.

Overall, it's not a show I'll be rewatching anytime soon.
