‘Decision to Go to Joseon’ Will Choo Young-woo Save Lim Ji-yeon in Crisis? (Madam Ok‘s Story)

TV Jan 04, 2025

Translation


Lim Ji-yeon‘s savior, Chu Young-woo, is back.

In episode 9 of JTBC’s weekend drama ‘Madam Ok‘s Story’ (written by Park Ji-sook, directed by Jin Hyeok and Choi Bo-yoon, produced by SLL, Corpus Korea) to be aired on the 4th, Sung Yoon-gyeom (played by Chu Young-woo), who had left for Qing, appears at home with his younger brother Sung Do-gyeom (played by Kim Jae-won).

Sung Yoon-gyeom left home in a hurry when Aeshimdan was in danger of being accused of treason, and has not returned even after 7 years. Not only that, he shocked everyone by ignoring his wife Ok Tae-young, whom he ran into by chance at an inn, and getting on a boat and leaving, ignoring even her earnest calls.

After this, Ok Tae-young, who was in despair, was convinced that he would not return, but as she was in danger of being used by the Chaste Women’s Association due to her husband‘s absence, Sung Yoon-gyeom’s return became urgent. In particular, the younger brother Seong Do-gyeom personally went on a journey to find his older brother in order to protect his sister-in-law Ok Tae-young, who was being misunderstood, and found Seong Yoon-gyeom in Qing China, looking shabby.

While curiosity grows over how Seong Yoon-gyeom would have responded to his younger brother‘s earnest request to return home, the sight of Seong Yoon-gyeom returning home in the photos that were released is drawing attention. He still exudes a manly gaze and heavy charisma from the past, announcing the return of the eldest son of the Seong family.

In addition, the sight of him sparring with his younger brother Seong Do-gyeom, who has grown a lot while he was away, and showing off his unrusty martial arts skills makes our hearts feel strong just by looking at him. His performance to protect not only the family that Ok Tae-young has protected alone until now, but also Ok Tae-young, who was forced into widowhood, is even more anticipated.

The appearance of Chu Young-woo, who will save Im Ji-yeon, who has become the target of various conspiracies, will unfold in episode 9 of JTBC’s Sat-Sun drama ‘Madam Ok‘s Story’, which airs at 10:30 p.m. on the 4th.
