Lim Ji-yeon begins to face the crisis to save Cheong Soo-hyeon.

In episode 13 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) that aired on the 18th, Ok Tae-young (played by Lim Ji-yeon) made a bold decision to shake off the sudden appearance of the old landlady, Kim So-hye (played by Ha Yul-ri), and save the townspeople from the Mansu-sam fraud case, doubling the excitement.

The viewership ratings for that day‘s broadcast were 9.1% in the metropolitan area and 8.4% nationwide, ranking first in the same time slot, and the highest viewership rating per minute was 10.8% in the metropolitan area, and the target 2049 viewership rating was 3.0% in the metropolitan area.

Ok Tae-young shamelessly dealt with Kim So-hye, who recognized her at a glance, without even batting an eye, and overcame the critical moment. With even the magistrate being his former master, Kim Nak-soo (Lee Seo-hwan), it was only a matter of time before his identity was revealed, but since disappearing now would mean proving that he was Gu Deok-i (Lim Ji-yeon), he declared that he would not leave.

However, because of Kim So-hye, who stirred up the whole village, rumors began to spread that Ok Tae-young was a runaway slave. Mrs. Kim (Yoon Ji-hye) told Ok Tae-young what Kim So-hye had said to her and asked if it was true, and Ok Tae-young admitted that he was a runaway slave. Nevertheless, after hearing Ok Tae-young’s complicated story and sense of duty as a foreign branch, Mrs. Kim promised to forget all about it over a drink.

After that, Ok Tae-young moved to investigate the Mansu-sam fraud case that had turned the whole village upside down. Based on the testimonies of Mrs. Hong (played by Jung Soo-young), who fell for the magistrate‘s trick and instigated this incident, and the directly affected clients, the truth was uncovered.

Accordingly, Cheon Seung-hwi (played by Chu Young-woo) began to help Ok Tae-young, who could not deal with Kim Nak-soo directly, by going in and out of the government office himself as the special inspector of Yu Hyang-so. He succeeded in framing Man-seok (played by Lee Jae-won) and Dok-kki (played by Oh Dae-hwan) as collaborators to send Kim So-hye back to Hanyang, and he even set up a fight to find the famous assemblyman Heo Soon (played by Yoon Byung-hee) who was involved in this incident, displaying his all-weather activities with a perfect script worthy of a Jeon Gi-su.

However, it was shocking to discover that the Heo Soon they found in the fight was not the person involved in the incident. Rather than simply evading the truth, Heo-sun seems genuinely bewildered, and with Mrs. Hong saying that this is not the Heo-sun she met, the possibility that someone has impersonated Heo-sun and committed fraud is becoming more likely.

As a result, while the townspeople are thrown into confusion again, Park Jun-ki, the Minister of Taxation who has a bad relationship with Cheongsu-hyeon, appears in person to increase the tension. In particular, Park Jun-ki finds out through his concubine Kim So-hye that Ok Tae-young, the foreign minister who had made everything he had done in Cheongsu-hyeon go down the drain, is a runaway slave. Attention is focused on what will happen to Ok Tae-young’s fate, which is once again in danger amidst the breathtaking first meeting with Park Joon-ki, who knows her secret.

Whether Lim Ji-yeon will be able to maintain her identity and justice without wavering in the midst of the crisis will continue in episode 14 of JTBC‘s Sat-Sun drama ‘Madame Ok’s Tale’, which airs at 10:30 p.m. on the 19th.
