As “The Tale of Lady Ok” nears its finale, its popularity remains strong. In fact, a recent bed scene of Lim Ji Yeon in this K-drama has become a topic of discussion among netizens.
Although not overly bold, this steamy scene caused a frenzy among viewers who were eagerly awaiting it. Compared to the various risqué clips from Cha Joo Young’s “The Queen Who Crowns” that sparked controversy, Lim Ji-yeon’s scene is much tamer due to the network’s age restrictions.
However, the explosive chemistry between Lim Ji Yeon and Choo Young Woo still makes it a success. The moment Lim Ji Yeon revealed her bare shoulder and slim back garnered countless compliments for the actress’ stunning physique. Without being too revealing, Lim Ji Yeon and Choo Young Woo still manage to captivate viewers with their performance in this scene.
With only two episodes left, viewers are curious about the fate of female protagonist Tae Yeong (played by Lim Ji Yeon), who, in reality, is the slave Goo Deok. After enduring so many trials, Tae Yeong finally finds happiness, only to be captured right in front of her lover, and worse, she has just found out that she is pregnant and unable to enjoy her joy. With only two episodes left, fans fear that Tae Yeong may not find the happiness he deserves.
“The Tale of Lady Ok” became a major hit for JTBC in late 2024 and early 2025, especially considering the network’s recent struggles. The series achieved a high rating of 11,061%, going viral in several Asian countries despite its rather dark plot about a runaway slave living a false life as a noblewoman. Brilliant performances, especially from Lim Ji Yeon, coupled with a tight and unpredictable script, have earned the drama immense love from its audiences.
