It really isn't bad
After reading reviews after finishing the show I can see why some people didn't enjoy it. People talked about the ai but i lowkey didn't notice it only for like a scene I was like is this ai?Plot wise it was great the only flaw is that the male lead lowkey is a support like everyone else. I think if you watch this with the mindset that this is Chu Zhao story and her journey of life instead of whatever the summary had for the drama. You will def like it more and not end up disappointed
Some people also felt like the rivarly between xie yanfang and deng yi went on too long but I felt like it was realistic. I really enjoyed the story tho it was obviously dramaified for a few parts where I was like ummm holy plot armor but besides that i felt that it was fine and wasnt too bad. We honestly can't expect everyone to stay loyal during this time when power was a thing most people wanted.
I will say for some of the other characters besides Chu Zhao their stories were not fully executed or well was not fully closed as we didn't get to know more about their character
The acting was good from everyone I wont lie and everything else was great. I think with more budget they wouldve had more episodes and everything wouldnt be too fast but this is great if u want a girl boss type of cdrama. I would say similar to the FL in pursuit of jade, Chu Zhao is strong mentally she doesnt fight much but if u dont want to watch a weak fl then this is it.
Sorry if this isnt good I was trying to say a lot without spoiling but this is great if you dont want to watch like 40+ episodes of a cdrama

It’s not bad but its not good just realistic
I’ve seen the many bad reviews for the show saying that it got boring or it just wasn’t giving what it was supposed to get or that it was insulting but honestly it was realistic. There are many situations where its the man fault but the 2 women hate each other and fight each other, thats the reality. No one likes seeing 2 women put each other down over a man but then again things like this actually happen and i feel like thats what people are upset aboutThe part where Dr.Cha rejects Roy is unfortunately also the reality. In every kdrama everyone gets a happy ending and the ending that was for the best but Dr.Cha ending was pretty happy, it showed that she was back on track to enjoying her life. Originally after the first surgery she was trying to enjoy her life but she found out about her husband cheating and that took a turn, however, after the second surgery you can see she is really dedicated to living her own life. Like yes it wouldve been nice for Roy and her to be together but then again its also best for dr cha to put herself first.
last thing im going to mention is the fact that the husband was upset at her for working because he was having an affair and he thinks that she should be a stay at home mom is also unfortunately realistic as there are indeed some men who act like this in real life. There are some men who are just selfish and only care for themselves but that is something only they can change, you cant force yourself to try to change a person if they arent willing to admit their mistakes and change themselves
