THE SHORT VERDICT:
I found this to be an interesting and engaging story of personal journey, with a pretty heartfelt love story to go with.
Our entire cast is strong and puts in solid performances, but the standout, to me, is Im Ji Yeon as our titular Lady Ok. Male lead Choo Young Woo is very good as well, displaying a nice range of acting chops.
Briskly paced to the point that this non-fluffy sageuk almost feels breezy sometimes, this show is way more approachable, and way more watchable than most people might expect, given its billing.
Quite underrated, in my opinion.
