'Brave New World' Im Ji-yeon has raised anticipation with a sneak preview video of Heo Nam-jun's 'flower threshing' scene.
On the 23rd, the production team of SBS's new Friday-Saturday drama 'Brave New World' (directed by Han Tae-seop, written by Kang Hyun-ju, produced by Studio S and Gil Pictures) released a sneak preview video depicting the fierce first encounter between 'Joseon's villainess' Shin Seo-ri (played by Im Ji-yeon) and 'villain chaebol' Cha Se-gye (played by Heo Nam-jun).
The new SBS Friday-Saturday drama 'Brave New World,' which premieres on the 8th, is a romance comedy drama featuring an explosive war-like relationship between Shin Seo-ri, a nameless actress possessed by the soul of the legendary Joseon villainess, and Cha Se-gye, a villainous chaebol described as a monster born of capitalism. Director Han Tae-seop, known for directing 'Stove League' and 'Cheer Up,' has joined forces with rookie screenwriter Kang Hyun-ju, while Im Ji-yeon (known for 'Kang Dan-sim' and playing Shin Seo-ri) and Heo Nam-jun (playing Cha Se-gye) make their first romantic pairing.

The released sneak preview video begins with Se-gye pulling Seo-ri, who is standing on the road, into his arms, creating a heart-fluttering moment. Seo-ri and Se-gye misunderstand each other as a self-harm extortionist and a self-harm extortionist, delivering a twist-filled laugh. In particular, they engage in an intense flower duel on a road hanbok set, holding palm fronds and flowers without yielding an inch, provoking bursts of laughter.
Misunderstanding Se-gye as a ruffian, Seo-ri shouts, "You! How dare you speak with such a filthy mouth!" before slapping him and roaring, "Have you ever seen a ruffian like this! Are you not afraid of King Yama!" She then pulls a palm frond from a passing flower delivery truck and roars, "If I am a money ghost, then you are a lustful maniac! You scoundrel!" before unleashing a fierce whip-like attack, revealing the fiery temper of the Joseon villainess.
After misunderstanding Seo-ri as a self-harm extortionist, Se-gye asks, "How much is it?" and immediately opens his wallet, proving his reputation as a "monster born of capitalism." Se-gye's counterattack with flowers against Seo-ri's whip-like assault not only provokes laughter but also hints at a new world of a thrilling, dopamine-inducing, hate-filled battle romance.
'Brave New World' will premiere on May 8 at 9:50 p.m.
