'Actor Heo Nam-jun expressed confidence regarding peak ratings.

'On the afternoon of the 7th, the production presentation for SBS's new Friday-Saturday drama 'Brave New World' (script by Kang Hyun-ju) was held at Mokdong SBS in Yangcheon-gu, Seoul. Hosted by broadcaster Park Kyung-rim, the event was attended by PD Han Tae-seop and actors Im Ji-yeon, Heo Nam-jun, Jang Seung-jo, Kim Min-seok, and Lee Se-hee.

'Brave New World' is a romance comedy drama telling the story of Shin Seo-ri, a nameless actress possessed by the soul of the notorious Joseon villainess Kang Dan-sim (played by Im Ji-yeon) and turned evil, and Cha Se-gye (played by Heo Nam-jun), a vile chaebol described as a monster born of capitalism.

'On this day, Heo Nam-jun explained about the character he portrayed: "Things that appear 'evil' on the surface are actually things he wants to protect, and there are moments where his human side comes out."

'He also said, "In fact, this is a character I have never played before. Although not quite at the level of Im Ji-yeon, I put my heart into the comedy, romance, and a bit of genre elements, so I think good results will come out."

'He further added, "As filming was nearing completion, I told the director, 'Filming was so much fun that the ratings will likely be good.' I believe the peak ratings will exceed 20%."

'Meanwhile, 'Brave New World' will premiere on the 8th at 9:50 p.m.
