Will Lim Ji-yeon be able to overcome her cruel fate on her own?

In the JTBC weekend drama ‘Lady Ok‘s Tale’ (written by Park Ji-sook, directed by Jin Hyeok and Choi Bo-yoon), the production team has summarized the three tasks facing the fake Ok Tae-young (played by Lim Ji-yeon) who is thrown into the fierce life of a nobleman, amidst the pity she faces.


● Will she be able to restore the fallen honor of the Seong family?

According to the production team, the fake Ok Tae-young became a family with the strong support of county magistrate Seong Gyu-jin (played by Seong Dong-il), who truly recognized her worth and abilities, and his son Seong Yoon-gyeom (played by Chu Young-woo). However, Sung Gyu-jin, who had incurred the hatred of the Cheongsu-hyeon Yu Hyang-so due to his upright personality, was forced to step down from his position after being blamed for the treason by the trickery of the Left-handed Lee Choong-il (played by Kim Dong-gyun), who had forcibly created the existence of treason.

The forcible treason incident that turned Cheongsu-hyeon upside down is a sign that Ok Tae-young will take everything away in an instant. In particular, an order was given to give all of Sung Gyu-jin’s family assets and descendants to the Left-handed Lee Choong-il as a reward, so he is in a situation where he is once again in danger of being separated from his family, who are like his life. Attention is focused on how Ok Tae-young, who knows better than anyone else that the magistrate Seong Gyu-jin is innocent, will overcome this situation.



● Will the children who disappeared that night face the ugly truth about the left-hand man Lee Choong-il?

The fake Ok Tae-young, who saw someone who lost their daughter due to a false conviction on the street, reported this to the magistrate and even went out to rescue the children himself. However, he was unable to find out the detailed inside story that the left-hand man Lee Choong-il had tried to illegally gather children and mobilize them to secretly collect rocks from Unbongsan after hearing from the mining expert Park Jun-gi (played by Choi Jung-woo).

More than anything, the treason that the left-hand man Lee Choong-il staged was because he was afraid that his actions would be exposed, so Ok Tae-young must find out the truth about this incident if he is to restore his family‘s honor. Attention is focused on whether Ok Tae-young will be able to uncover the shocking behavior taking place at Unbongsan and get the missing children back.


● Separated from her husband at the same time as her wedding! What will be the fate of Ok Tae-young who has become a madam?

Because of all these incidents, Ok Tae-young and her husband Seong Yoon-gyeom were separated not long after their wedding. Since Seong Yoon-gyeom was the head of the Aeshimdan who was accused of treason, it was obvious that he would not survive if this fact was discovered. That is why he hurriedly escaped with Ok Tae-young’s help and promised to return once the situation was resolved.

However, in the meantime, his father Seong Gyu-jin was stripped of his official position and collapsed, and everything in the family was confiscated, leaving Ok Tae-young as the only adult who could protect the Seong family. It seems like she has become a madam and is living the life of a true nobleman, but curiosity is growing about the future of the fake Ok Tae-young, who is once again forced into a dangerous situation.

The broadcast is at 10:30 PM on the 21st.
