Lim Ji-yeon‘s counterattack, who eventually returned to the life of a slave, has begun.

In episode 15 of JTBC’s Saturday-Sunday drama ‘Madam Ok‘s Story’ (written by Park Ji-sook, directed by Jin Hyeok and Choi Bo-yoon) that aired on the 25th, Ok Tae-young (played by Lim Ji-yeon) began to move again to turn the crisis into an opportunity despite her true identity being revealed after many hardships. The viewership ratings recorded 10.9% in the metropolitan area and 10.2% nationwide. The highest viewership rating per minute was 12.7% in the metropolitan area. The target 2049 viewership rating was 3.8% in the metropolitan area. (Based on Nielsen Korea paid households)

Even when Ok Tae-young was taken to the Office of the Inspector General for questioning that day, she confidently claimed to be Ok Tae-young and refuted the officer’s words point by point. However, things got worse when Seung-hwi Cheon (played by Young-woo Choo) was caught while running away with Man-seok (played by Jae-won Lee) under the orders of Tae-young Ok.

There was no other way, so Seung-hwi Cheon revealed his identity and said that he had fallen for Tae-young Ok, whom he had met by chance at a performance seven years ago, and that he had done this alone. However, when the fact that Tae-young Ok had helped Seung-hwi Cheon when he was in prison was revealed, the two were falsely accused of conspiring to murder Tae-young Ok‘s husband, Sung Yoon-gyeom (played by Young-woo Choo).

When everyone was put in danger of being punished for a crime they did not commit, Do-gyeom Seong (played by Jae-won Kim) ran out and begged, saying that it was all his fault, and even Tae-young Ok, who was pregnant, was put through the wringer. Unable to stand by and watch, Seung-hwi Cheon falsely confessed that he alone killed Sung Yoon-gyeom.

It seemed that Seung-hwi Cheon’s innocent love, risking his life to save the woman he loved, would ultimately save Tae-young Ok, but Tae-young Ok could not escape the truth. The landlady, So-hye Kim (played by Yul-ri Ha), showed up with Tae-young Ok‘s father, Gae-juk (played by Sang-hee Lee), whom he had been searching for so desperately. With the appearance of the father he had longed for so much, Tae-young Ok’s runaway slave was eventually revealed to the world.


Because of this, Seung-hwi Cheon was sentenced to death on all charges, and Man-seok, who was being tortured with him, lost his life, adding to the heartbreak. However, Ok Tae-young‘s life was saved by his past achievement of saving many people while working in a foreign branch office, and he returned to his master’s house as a slave after 10 years.

However, Ok Tae-young‘s eyes sparkled again when he heard from Mrs. Kim (played by Yoon Ji-hye) that Park Joon-gi (played by Choi Jung-woo), the Minister of Taxation, was trying to hide something by using Ok Tae-young and Cheon Seung-hui’s scandal. Ok Tae-young, who sensed something suspicious about the contagious disease spreading in Hanyang, went to the quarantine village to find out the truth, but he met his real husband Seong Yoon-gyeom (played by Chu Young-woo), who was taking care of the patients there, and everyone was shocked.

With only one episode left until the end, attention is focused on whether Ok Tae-young will be able to uncover the truth without being fooled by Park Joon-gi‘s tricks, who was at the center of all kinds of evil deeds. Interest is also focused on whether she will be able to regain the destiny she created herself.

The final episode of ’Madam Ok‘ will air at 10:30 PM on the 26th.
