Lim Ji-yeon and Choo Young-woo are captivating audiences across the provinces as the most stylish figures in Joseon.
In the JTBC weekend drama ‘The Tale of Lady Ok’ (written by Park Ji-sook, directed by Jin Hyuk and Choi Bo-yoon), Lim Ji-yeon (playing Ok Tae-young) and Choo Young-woo (playing Cheon Seung-hwi) are gaining attention for their unique hanbok styling, which enhances the charm of their characters and adds another layer of enjoyment to the show.
In the drama, Lim Ji-yeon portrays Lady Ok Tae-young, a character who rises from a past as a servant to live as a noblewoman. With extraordinary wisdom, a kind nature, and an indomitable will, she helps those in need and pursues justice, leading a life that, although false, is more valuable than a real one. The unique atmosphere of Ok Tae-young, who possesses both strength and humanity, shines even brighter through Lim Ji-yeon's dense performance and distinctive styling.
In the released photos, Lim Ji-yeon effortlessly embodies various hanboks, showcasing the dignified spirit of Ok Tae-young. Particularly, her noble demeanor stands out against strong colors, revealing the intense and vibrant personality of the Ok Tae-young character. Her unwavering presence, which allows her to demonstrate her abilities in any situation, leaves a deep impression.
Choo Young-woo's styling, as the character Cheon Seung-hwi, who enjoys idol-level popularity across Joseon, also draws attention. Despite having a complex background as a nobleman's illegitimate son who becomes a celestial performer, he has carved out his own life with a free-spirited nature and overflowing artistry. The extravagant costumes that firmly support Cheon Seung-hwi's unique aura enhance the immersion in the character.
With a profession that takes the stage, the hanboks worn are even bolder, featuring striking patterns and intense colors. Even with subtle hues, the attention to detail, such as using fabric to create focal points, triggers viewers' '덕심' (a blend of 'fan' and 'heart'), adding to the charm of Choo Young-woo's elegance that embodies the essence of an artist.
‘The Tale of Lady Ok’ captivates viewers every week with the passionate performances of Lim Ji-yeon and Choo Young-woo, who are making meticulous efforts to maximize the individuality and narratives of each character. The show airs every Saturday and Sunday at 10:30 PM.
