The upcoming JTBC drama “The Tale of Lady Ok“ has released a poster featuring leads Lim Ji Yeon and Choo Young Woo. This drama follows the story of Goo Deok Yi (played by Lim Ji Yeon), a runaway slave who adopts a false identity as Lady Ok Tae Young to navigate the complex social hierarchy of the Joseon era. Alongside her is Cheon Seung Hwi (played by Choo Young Woo), a man with a concealed past who sacrifices everything to protect her.
In the poster, the characters’ intense eye contact—Goo Deok Yi gazing downward with an air of mystery, while Cheon Seung Hwi looks upward with quiet determination—reveals their deep and complex connection. The two are framed by a vibrant red silk curtain, symbolizing both secrecy and passion. The poster’s tagline, “A heart that becomes clearer within the lies,” suggests that amid their struggles, a profound romance will develop.
Plot Overview: Love and Survival in Joseon Era
“The Tale of Lady Ok” is set in a turbulent period of the Joseon dynasty, where the social divide defines people’s lives. Goo Deok Yi, originally a slave, seizes the chance to transform herself into a noblewoman, faking her name, status, and marriage to avoid the harsh realities of her past. Meanwhile, Cheon Seung Hwi, born as the eldest son of a powerful family, has rejected his privileged lineage to live as a storyteller. Together, they must navigate a dangerous “survival con game,” relying on deception and each other to escape their circumstances.
This layered storyline combines romance, historical intrigue, and drama as it explores themes of identity and resilience. Goo Deok Yi’s ambition and Seung Hwi’s quiet strength promise a unique blend of tension and tenderness as they wrestle with the truth of who they are and what they mean to each other.
