'Actress Im Ji-yeon and Heo Nam-jun displayed an extraordinary acting chemistry.
'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 that tells the story of Shin Seo-ri, a nameless actress possessed by the soul of the notorious Joseon villain Kang Dan-sim (played by Shin Seo-ri, portrayed by Im Ji-yeon) and turned evil, and Cha Se-gye (played by Heo Nam-jun), a vicious chaebol described as a monster born of capitalism.
'On this day, Heo Nam-jun spoke about his chemistry with Im Ji-yeon, saying, "It was amazing. I'm confident. Everything was so good that it ranks among the best I've experienced in my life."
'Im Ji-yeon replied, "I can't imagine 'Brave New World' without Heo Nam-jun. There were times I felt exhausted because there was so much I had to do as Shin Seo-ri, but I relied heavily on Heo Nam-jun. He was like a vitamin that helped us overcome the demanding set. It was sad to part ways."
'Previously, Im Ji-yeon worked alongside actor Lee Jung-jae in the tvN drama 'Hateful Love'. Regarding Lee Jung-jae and Heo Nam-jun, she stated, "I relied on Heo Nam-jun with a different dynamic than I did with Lee Jung-jae. Heo Nam-jun feels like someone I have known for a long time, like a friend or younger brother. Both are actors I love very much."
'Meanwhile, 'Brave New World' will premiere on the 8th at 9:50 p.m.
