Lim Ji-yeon steps forward to defend her sister-in-law Yeon-woo.

In the 10th episode of JTBC‘s Sat-Sun drama ‘Madam Ok’s Story’ (written by Park Ji-sook, directed by Jin Hyeok and Choi Bo-yoon) to be aired today (the 5th), the sister-in-laws Ok Tae-young (played by Lim Ji-yeon) and Cha Mi-ryeong (played by Yeon-woo) will show their love thicker than water as they resolve their misunderstandings and join hands.

Cha Mi-ryeong, who was deceived by her mother, Madam Song‘s lies and had her entire life used for revenge, was able to continue to stay in the Seong family thanks to Ok Tae-young’s warm and kind generosity. Since then, she has been on the side of her family and her older brother Ok Tae-young, who truly cared for her, rather than her mother, and she has even become pregnant.

However, Cha Mi-ryeong is greatly shocked when she finds out that Madam Song, who still cannot give up her obsession with revenge, tricked her son-in-law Seong Do-gyeom (played by Kim Jae-won) into trying to harm the men in the family. Moreover, her sense of indebtedness towards Seong Do-gyeom, who still has no idea that she approached him intentionally, is growing day by day, making one wonder what choice Cha Mi-ryeong will make.

Meanwhile, the revealed photo shows Cha Mi-ryeong being dragged to the government office with her hands tied, which is surprising. Cha Mi-ryeong, with her noticeably gaunt face and a bewildered expression, shows a mixture of complex emotions such as regret and fear, which makes us feel even more sorry.

However, Ok Tae-young is next to her, with her determined eyes that do not waver an inch. Ok Tae-young, who has cleared her false charges of being a widow and returned to her position, is standing by Cha Mi-ryeong‘s side once again in her capacity as an outsider. Even though he found out Cha Mi-ryeong’s true identity earlier, he understood her circumstances and cared for her as a family member with all his heart, so attention is focused on what kind of story Cha Mi-ryeong will have that Ok Tae-young will take off his shoes and come to her defense.

The story of Lim Ji-yeon and Yeon-woo, who will show their close sister-in-law relationship, will be revealed in episode 10 of JTBC‘s Sat-Sun drama ‘Madame Ok’s Story’, which airs tonight (the 5th) at 10:30 PM.
