The drama "Beautiful World," in which actors Im Ji-yeon and Heo Nam-jun deliver outstanding performances, has secured the number one spot in TV-OTT integrated buzz rankings for three consecutive weeks.
According to SBS on the 10th, the Saturday-Sunday drama "Beautiful World" (directed by Han Tae-seop and Kim Hyun-woo, written by Kang Hyun-ju, produced by Studio S and Gil Pictures) maintained its number one position in the TV-OTT integrated buzz category for three consecutive weeks in the first week of June's buzz rankings released by Good Data Corporation's FUNdex. In the cast buzz category, Im Ji-yeon (as Shin Seo-ri/Kang Dan-sim), Heo Nam-jun (as Cha Se-gye), and Jang Seung-jo (as Choi Moon-do) ranked second, third, and sixth respectively, proving their buzz. (Based on June 1–7)
"Beautiful World" is a romance comedy drama depicting a tense war-like relationship between Shin Seo-ri (played by Im Ji-yeon), a nameless actress possessed by the soul of the notorious Joseon villainess and turned into a "villainous" chaebol, and Cha Se-gye (played by Heo Nam-jun), a villainous chaebol described as a monster born of capitalism. In particular, Im Ji-yeon's outstanding performance, which stands at the center of the box office phenomenon, has received warm praise from viewers every week.

Im Ji-yeon, who plays the role of "Shin Seo-ri," a nameless actress possessed by the soul of the notorious villainess "Kang Dan-sim" who shook Joseon, is delivering a powerful performance by freely transitioning between the "possessed Seo-ri" from Joseon who fell into the 21st century, the villainess "Heebin Lady Kang" who once dominated Joseon, the pure 20-year-old "Nain Dan-sim," and "Body-owner Seo-ri" during her time as a nameless actress originally living as "Shin Seo-ri." She has built a three-dimensional character by changing her speech patterns, expressions, and voice tones according to the situations her characters face and the passage of time.
As anticipation builds for Im Ji-yeon's dynamic performance that traverses the drama, a recent trailer released after the 10th episode broadcast revealed a scene where Shin Seo-ri returns to Joseon after a truck accident, delivering a shock.
It remains to be seen whether Seo-ri, who has returned to Joseon, will be able to come back to the Republic of Korea in the 21st century, raising growing curiosity about the 11th episode of "Beautiful World."
