Story timeline ~Tang Dynasty (618-907)

For a long-time closet fan of Raymond Lam and Michelle Yip, I am utterly disappointed with the show 紫钗奇缘.

To be fair, I should start with the merits of the show. It tried to bring in elements of dance and music and portray life back in the Tang dynasty. Lots of colour, lots of glamour. Of course, the other merits of this show is the reunion of Raymond and Michelle in another drama. I still like the couple, but I fell out of love with the show.

I think that sums up the merits of this show. All in all, I probably only enjoyed one-tenth of the time spent and mostly was in the first half.

Of course, the ending was terrible for a fan like me, but all in all I thought the plot was very distracted. It was not clear if it was trying to be a romance-based drama or not. The plot and transitions were badly stitched, to the point that it was confusing. I was somewhat lost and bored after a while. The plot and progression did not do justice to all who have acted in this show. Too much tears in the show but not out in the audience I think.
