Ok Tae-young‘s turbulent destiny is finally coming to an end.
Ahead of the final broadcast on the 26th of JTBC’s Saturday-Sunday drama ‘Madam Ok‘s Story’ (written by Park Ji-sook, directed by Jin Hyeok and Choi Bo-yoon), Lim Ji-yeon (as Gu Deok-i and Ok Tae-young), Choo Young-woo (as Cheon Seung-hwi), Kim Jae-won (as Seong Do-gyeom), and Yeonwoo (as Cha Mi-ryeong) sent their final greetings to the viewers.
According to the production team, Lim Ji-yeon said, “I think Ok Tae-young is more special because she remains a heartbreaking character that I root for even while acting. I was surprised that more people than I thought immersed themselves in Ok Tae-young’s life, and I was able to spend happy days throughout the broadcast thanks to the many warm and encouraging reviews. I am grateful to have started 2025 with the love of many people, and I think I have gained the driving force to live a new year. He left a warm greeting with the words, “Happy New Year to all.”
Choo Young-woo, who was grateful to have been able to live as Cheon Seung-hwi from the first script reading to filming and then the broadcast, said, “While preparing for this project, I had many memorable experiences and I think I was able to receive more attention thanks to the wonderful character Seung-hwi. I would like to thank the director who believed in me and entrusted me with the role. I am so happy that so many people love it as much as everyone thought hard and put in so much affection. I hope that the project will be remembered as a warm project in the hearts of viewers.”
Kim Jae-won also showed special affection for the character, saying, “Every moment I spent as Do-gyeom was a valuable time that allowed me to grow as an actor.” Here, he said, ”I hope the new year is filled with health and happiness, and that you will wisely overcome any twists and turns you face like the Seong family, including Ok Tae-young, Cheon Seung-hwi, Seong Do-gyeom, and Cha Mi-ryeong,“ and shared some witty words of wisdom.
Lastly, Yeon-woo said, ”‘Lady Ok’ is my first historical drama, so I was very nervous and anxious, but I learned a lot thanks to all the actors who worked with me, so I think it will be a memorable experience.“ In addition, he expressed his gratitude, saying, “It was an honor to be a part of such a wonderful production, and I am truly grateful to the viewers who loved us.”
In the final story of “The Tale of Lady Ok,” Ok Tae-young, who went from being a respected madam to a slave, does not back down from her mistress, Kim So-hye (played by Ha Yul-ri), and also tries to find out what the Minister of Taxation Park Joon-ki (played by Choi Jung-woo) is up to. Attention is being paid to whether Ok Tae-young, who never knows how to give up even after losing everything, will be able to change her life once again.
The final episode of “The Tale of Lady Ok” will air at 10:30 p.m. on the 26th.
