JTBC‘s weekend drama ‘Madame Ok’s Tale’ (written by Park Ji-sook, directed by Jin Hyeok and Choi Bo-yoon) is cruising, climbing to the top of the topic rankings in just two weeks.

‘Madame Ok‘s Tale’ is about the relationship between the fake Ok Tae-young (played by Lim Ji-yeon), who started out as a slave and now lives as a woman, and two men with the same face, Cheon Seung-hwi (played by Choo Young-woo) and Sung Yoon-gyeom (played by Choo Young-woo). Thanks to this, the drama has been recording its own highest viewership ratings every episode since its first broadcast. The last three episodes recorded 7.786% based on households nationwide.

According to a survey by Good Data Corporation’s FUNdex, a K-content competitiveness analysis agency, ‘Madame Ok‘s Tale’ ranked first in the topicality category of TV-OTT dramas. This is an overwhelming increase of 69.8% compared to the previous week, showing JTBC’s overwhelming growth. In addition, Im Ji-yeon and Chu Young-woo, who are currently acting passionately, took 1st and 2nd place respectively in the drama cast popularity rankings.

In this way, ‘Madam Okssi Jeon’ is cruising while capturing both viewership ratings and popularity. It raises expectations for future developments by presenting a woman‘s struggle that goes beyond social status, from fierceness to hilarity, from tension that makes your palms sweat to exhilarating catharsis.

‘Madam Okssi Jeon’ airs every Saturday and Sunday at 10:30 PM.

Meanwhile, ‘Madam Okssi Jeon’ may be canceled on the 14th. As a result of President Yoon Seok-yeol’s declaration and lifting of martial law, there is a possibility that it will be canceled like on the 7th due to the impeachment vote that will be held in the National Assembly.
