Plot

Lee Gong-jin, a young tailor, helps the Queen with her dress and both fall in love with each other. However, his success catches the ire of Jo Dol-seok, the royal tailor, who vows retribution.

Sinekatalog’s take

Rival tailors vie for royal favour in a lavish Joseon drama about style, status and jealousy. The costumes are gorgeous, and the power struggle is told with wit. Elegant, entertaining and handsomely made.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
