All eyes are on the life of Lim Ji-yeon, the protagonist with an odd fate never seen before.

With only two episodes left until the end of JTBC‘s Saturday-Sunday drama ‘Madam Ok’s Story’ (written by Park Ji-sook, directed by Jin Hyeok and Choi Bo-yoon), the production team summarized the process through which slave Gu Deok-i (played by Lim Ji-yeon) became madam Ok Tae-young (played by Lim Ji-yeon).


● Slave Gu Deok pours chamber potion on his mistress! The story of that night that changed her life 180 degrees!

When Ok Tae-young was living as the servant Gu Deok-i of Lady Kim So-hye (played by Ha Yul-ri), she was falsely accused of colluding with Song Seo-in (played by Chu Young-woo), who was discussing marriage with her, and reached the peak of the miserable life of a slave. After being severely beaten and forced to listen to her master‘s orders, she faced the biggest obstacle in her life.

However, Guduk used this obstacle as an opportunity and wounded her master Kim Nak-soo’s (Lee Seo-hwan) face with a sickle, poured a chamber pot on Miss So-hye, and ran out of the house on her own. Despite all the persecution from her master and daughter, Guduk, a slave who always dreamed of freedom and saved money, began to move for what she truly wanted, opening the curtain on this great survival story.


● A daughter-in-law who was a slave and protected her family‘s honor alone, even after her husband left home and her father-in-law passed away!

Ok Tae-young, who went from being a slave to a noble, caught the eye of the county magistrate Seong Gyu-jin (Seong Dong-il) with her unique cleverness and became the daughter-in-law of the county magistrate, but her happiness did not last long. Her husband left home after being driven out by the traitor, and her kind father-in-law was accused of turning a blind eye to the traitor, was stripped of his official position, and passed away, leaving her young brother-in-law and the family alone.

Ok Tae-young, who was left alone as the head of the household after those who had been her fence in this difficult world disappeared, briefly lost hope but then took matters into her own hands to get everything back. As a result, she was able to uncover the truth about the fake traitor incident and the illegal mining of the outcrop of Unbongsan Mountain hidden behind it. In this way, she regained the family fortune, precious family members, and the honor of her respected father-in-law, and became an example of a responsible life as the true mistress of the Seong family.



● “Aren’t you Gudeok?” Miss So-hye finally had to face it! Ok Tae-young‘s bold stance against this!

Ok Tae-young’s reputation grew stronger day by day as he raised the Seong family alone and helped the needy in the outskirts. He also lived as a fake couple with his first love, Cheon Seung-hui (played by Chu Young-woo), and had an incredibly happy time. However, his happiness was short-lived, and the thing he had been so afraid of happened.

He encountered his old master, Kim Nak-soo, who had been appointed as the new magistrate of Cheongsu-hyeon, and Lady So-hye. Kim So-hye, who had been looking for Gu-deok who had run away every day, immediately recognized Ok Tae-young as Gu-deok, and her heart sank. However, Ok Tae-young did not show any sign of panic and continued to act confidently, and instead stayed in Cheongsu-hyeon to protect the townspeople from Kim Nak-soo‘s tyranny.

Ok Tae-young, who has lived a particularly complicated and twisted life, is forging his own path with a very different method from others. Even in a situation where her identity is discovered and she is being pursued, attention is focused on whether Ok Tae-young will be able to find her own way to overcome the crisis.

Episode 15 of ‘Mrs. Ok’s Story’ will air at 10:30 PM on the 25th.
