This is apparently the drama from which MBC's 1977 daily of the same name was adapted, but with a much tamer storyline. As the description goes:
"A drama depicting the ethics of men and women during the Lee Era. A noble family's story set in mid-Joseon that once again involves the concept of "A Woman must Follow Her Husband (ο¦εΏ
εΎε€«)"."
Surviving Plot:
Lee Gil Jae (Geungjae in some episodes, probably a mix-up with the male love interest from My Lady), a nobleman, loves Heo Ok Nyeo, a fallen noblewoman, but his parents arrange his marriage to Yihwa, a noblewoman from their faction. Gil Jae tries to run off with Oknyeo, but they are caught by Kim Yun (don't know his relation to anyone). Unable to do anything, Gil Jae marries Yihwa in despair, and promises to build a future with Oknyeo one day. Oknyeo becomes Yihwa's servant, and is greatly favored by the sickly Yihwa. Gil Jae has secret meetings with Oknyeo, which lead to a murder attempt by a certain Scholar Song (don't know his relation to anyone). Unaware of the whole situation, Yihwa misunderstands and believes Oknyeo is having an affair with another scholar Park (don't know his relation to anyone). Oknyeo gets pregnant with Gil Jae's child, making Yihwa extremely jealous, and Oknyeo's father Secretary Heo, formerly presumed dead, reappears as a beggar. Court strife comes between Oknyeo and Gil Jae, as their families are from different factions, and they are forever unable to attain happiness. Oknyeo dies at the end.
As you can see, no supernatural elements here.
