In The Tale of Lady Ok, Choo Young Woo takes on the role of a charming and enigmatic electrician who enchants the eight provinces of Joseon.
The new JTBC weekend drama set to premiere on November 30, revolves around the intense survival schemes of Ok Tae-young (Lim Ji Yeon), a woman living under pretenses regarding her name, status, and husband, and the entertainer Cheon Seung-hui (Choo Young Woo), who risks everything to protect her.

With his exceptional talent and striking good looks, he has captured the hearts of women throughout the provinces, along with gaining wealth and fame, living life as a free spirit.
However, beneath his seemingly enviable exterior lies a hidden truth: he was once the eldest son of the prestigious Song family, Song Seo-in (also played by Chu Young-woo), and he is deeply in love with Gu Deok-i (Lim Ji Yeon), who escaped from slavery and assumed the identity of the fictitious Ok Tae-young. As viewers become curious about his backstory, released images reveal Cheon Seung-hui in a performer’s elegant attire.
