Worst C-drama I've ever seen
This drama is completely destroyed y the script & storyline. It features an ultimately fatally (literally) idiotic, albeit moral and self-sacrficing MML. a feeble and likewise self-sacrificing FML, and a second "villainous" MML who nverthelesscomes out on top. (The last, rushed episode is just an afterthought).At many key points the protagonists could make different, but equally ethical decisions - thus the air of inevitability the script is trying to convey is simply deceitful.
Also irritating are the prolonged "romantic" scenes with their dreadful sung underpinnings. Pointless padding, given the ultimate, largely catastrophic outcome. This drama fails essentially on its internal inconsistency
So: Worst I've ever seen, out of well over a hundred. The only positive aspect is video quality. But how anybody other than a weepie addict could give this more than 5.0 beats me.

Weird mix of romcom and revenge drama
"Lady Ok" alternates between abeing a confident and comprtent legal advoate and a feeble, weepy wife requiering regular support from her "husband". So we have regular swithes between coy domestic "bliss" and the cruel outside world poking in. Her household too alternates between romcom and disaterFar too fluffy for what it's trying to do, and thus a major disappointment.

A romcom pretending to be a xianxia
The most irritating drama I've ever watched to its conclusion - and that only because of the main leads. Still a wasre of time.Major defects:
1. For long stretches, especially in the early episodes, it's a tedious romcom
2. The more seriously romantic episodes are invariably underpinned by lengthy, saccharine singing - an increasingly common feature especially in Chinese drama
3. The "action" relies heavily on massively overused CGI - to the point where it's completely ludicrous (also highly repetitive), Actually one can't help laughing at the numerous mass CGI battle scenes, which are really just padding.
More or less OK:
The plot is conventional for this type of drama, but not partcularly well executed (and of course the staging is ridiculous).
Only postive aspect:
The two main leads. Occasional faint echoes of "Princess Agents", which makes the whole thing even more depressing. They should have made PA Season 2 instead of this rubbish.
And one final point: The (to me) absurdly high rating from the community demonstrates once again that there is a strong bias towards romcom, which those averse to it have to take into account.
