The captivating images of Lim Ji-yeon and Chu Young-woo in the midst of a sweeping narrative have been revealed.

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), which has been heating up weekend nights every week, is raising expectations for the 4th episode, which will air on the 15th, with unreleased cuts containing scenes that made viewers laugh and cry.

In the revealed photos, Lim Ji-yeon, who is portraying the transformation of slave Gu-deok into lady Ok Tae-young with various charms, and Chu Young-woo, who is showing off his ever-changing faces from entertainer Cheon Seung-hwi to the son of the county magistrate Seong Yoon-gyeom, are drawing attention.

You can see a playful side that has never been seen in the drama, as well as a serious gaze that expresses the character more excellently. Not only that, but Ok Tae-young (Im Ji-yeon) who realized too late that she mistook Sung Yoon-gyeom (Choo Young-woo) for Cheon Seung-hwi (Choo Young-woo), and Cheon Seung-hwi meeting his father who came to visit the brothel, etc., the scenes captured of these people that left a strong impression in the drama stimulate excitement just by watching them.

Above all, the moments where the fake Ok Tae-young, Cheon Seung-hwi, and Sung Yoon-gyeom are together once again induces excessive immersion. The extraordinary chemistry between the two actors that shows the complicated relationships of the three characters, as well as the flowing visual beauty, make us feel the emotion that the drama gave us at a glance once again.

Meanwhile, in the last episode, the fake Ok Tae-young tried to confess the secret that she had lied about her identity after receiving a proposal from Sung Yoon-gyeom, but everyone was shocked when she saw the landlady, Kim So-hye (Ha Yul-ri), in the street. Indeed, curiosity is rising about whether the fake Ok Tae-young will be able to safely hide her identity and start her own life.

JTBC‘s Saturday-Sunday drama ‘Madam Ok’s Story’, which presents everything from heartbreaking to cheerful and thrilling tension, gradually draws viewers in, and the 4th episode will air on the 15th at 10:30 p.m.
