The Tale of Lady Ok plot

Set against the backdrop of the Joseon period, The Tale of Lady Ok revolves around Ok Tae Young, a female slave who defies the oppressive societal norms of her time to achieve success. Tae Young, portrayed by Lim Ji Yeon, is an expert in legal matters, known for her deep knowledge and wisdom.
