A bunch of good actors that makes me happy

Story is good (for half of them), some scenes are unnecessary and other scenes are lacking. Because the title is Brocade Odyssey, I thought this is about the art of brocade and silk, of course there will be politic issue surrounding the trade of brocade, but I didn't think (or want) to see it only about revenge and fighting only 1 ultimate villain. Though all the casts are terrific, including the side characters, they made this series more enjoyable. The other villains like Bai Sheng, and Niu Wuniang are played so beautifully, though they could put more depth to Bai sheng's bsckstory and more character. But instead they want to put more spotlight on FL. Don't get me wrong, I love Seven Tan. But the highlight of this story isn't just her, but the side characters: the artisan of brocade industry. But the producers and writers pushed them to tbe back and made them just as accessories. So I won't go back to this.

Poor writing and sloppy

I don't know how this show got their 10* rating from many reviews while it had so many problems. The actors and actresses has good acting, but the writers, directors, producers decided to put them in bad drama as this. It started good and proper. An abandoned and abused daughter has to come back to her house because she has nowhere to go but she has other intention, for a revenge and for a sentimental feelings called family (who had abandoned her and left her to die). It's a good 10 episodes when the daughter finally met her real mother who holds power in the house but still chose to kick her out. I thought the next arc would be about mending their broken relationship, a redemption of a mother. But instead it went downhill. The ML fell flat, the FL is too busybody, going into everybody's business. And i snapped when they finally chose to leave the family, the mother got her divorce, only to be killed. I can't no longer continue with this ridiculous plot.
