An EVIL killer: "The Tale of Lady Ok"
1. Unrealistic Recovery and Strength
Issue: The FL (female lead) is severely beaten, yet she recovers miraculously and gains enough strength to kill her master and escape. This appears implausible, especially since such injuries would typically leave a person incapacitated.
Critique: The show leans heavily on sensationalism rather than logical character progression. The portrayal of her strength feels exaggerated, almost as if she transforms into a "superhero" out of nowhere.
2. Morally Flawed Character
Issue: The FL is shown as a morally gray or even unlikable character at the start, seducing her lady’s supposed husband. This undermines any sympathy the audience might feel for her plight when she's caught and punished.
Critique: While morally complex characters can be compelling, the show fails to provide enough context or justification for her actions, making it harder to root for her redemption arc. Her initial behavior makes her seem opportunistic rather than a victim of her circumstances.
3. Over-the-Top Drama
Issue: The drama opts for shock value, with extreme violence and sudden twists (like the FL killing her master).
Critique: This approach can feel superficial, as it prioritizes spectacle over nuanced storytelling. It leaves viewers questioning the logic and emotional depth of the narrative.
