'Brave New World's Im Ji-yeon seeks the final way to save Heo Nam-jun's life.
SBS's Friday-Saturday drama 'Brave New World' (script by Kang Hyun-ju, directed by Han Tae-seop and Kim Hyun-woo) is a romance comedy drama depicting a tense, explosive war 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 'villain', and Cha Se-gye (played by Heo Nam-jun), a villainous chaebol called a monster born of capitalism. The ratings for the 13th episode reached a high of 11.9% and 10.7% nationwide, setting a new internal record for the highest ratings just before the final episode. Furthermore, it not only held the number one spot in its time slot but also retained the throne as the number one mini-drama broadcast across all channels for the week, with 2049 ratings soaring to a high of 3.83%, proving its unrivaled popularity (based on Nielsen Korea).
In the ending of the 13th episode, Se-gye was placed in a life-threatening situation due to a mysterious attack, delivering a shock to viewers. In particular, Do Mu-nyeo (played by Oh Min-ae) announced Seo-ri's return to Joseon, saying, "Go back and save the Grand Army. Fate will not repeat itself. You only need to pay a small price."
In this context, the 'Brave New World' team has revealed the reunion of Seo-ri, who returned to Joseon, and Grand Army Lee Hyun (played by Heo Nam-jun), drawing attention. In the released stills, Seo-ri is shown returning as the palace maid 'Kang Dan-sim'. The stills capture an intense escape scene where Seo-ri appears to be chased by someone, and Hyun, with his sword drawn, tightly holds Seo-ri's hand without lowering his guard. The earnest hearts of Seo-ri and Hyun, who struggle to protect each other across past and present lives, move the heart.
Most notably, in the previously released trailer, a scene was shown where Seo-ri takes an arrow meant for Hyun, raising curiosity about their fate. Even before Seo-ri went to Joseon, there was Do Mu-nyeo's warning that "she may never return," drawing attention to where Seo-ri's fate will lead in this life-or-death crisis.
Meanwhile, the final episode of 'Brave New World' will air at 9:50 p.m. on the 20th.
