In 'Beautiful World', Im Ji-yeon embodies an 'unknown actor'.
SBS's new Friday-Saturday drama 'Beautiful World' (directed by Han Tae-seop / written by Kang Hyun-ju) is a romantic comedy drama depicting a tense war-like romance between Shin Seo-ri (played by Im Ji-yeon / portraying Kang Dan-sim), an unknown actor possessed by the soul of the legendary Joseon villain and turned into a 'villainous' character, and Cha Se-gye (played by Heo Nam-jun), a villainous chaebol called a monster born of capitalism. Director Han Tae-seop, who directed dramas such as 'Stove League' and 'Cheer Up', and rookie writer Kang Hyun-ju have joined forces. Additionally, Im Ji-yeon, known as 'Mitbo-baebae' (an actor you can trust and watch), is drawing attention for previewing a romantic chemistry with Heo Nam-jun.
On the night of the 8th, ahead of the highly anticipated first broadcast, the production team revealed the second, ominous meeting between Shin Seo-ri and Cha Se-gye, sparking curiosity. In the still, Seo-ri is shown entering her first-ever audition venue. The fact that Seo-ri, the legendary 'villainess' who once ruled Joseon, has been transformed into a struggling unknown actor hopping from one audition to another in the 21st century is intriguing, while Se-gye's appearance at the audition venue further heightens interest.
In particular, Se-gye experienced a shock to the pupils upon unexpectedly reuniting with Seo-ri. The composure of the 'villainous chaebol', who maintains calmness in any situation, is completely gone, and Se-gye's surprising expression with wide, rabbit-like eyes provokes laughter.
While curiosity is piqued about the reason Se-gye appeared at Seo-ri's audition, the intense confrontation between Seo-ri and Se-gye draws attention. As the two, who engaged in a fierce battle (?) from their first meeting in the previously released teaser trailer, it raises questions about what will unfold at the audition venue. Thus, interest is focused on the first broadcast of 'Beautiful World', which features the unpredictable beginning of the relationship between 'Joseon villainess' Seo-ri and 'villainous chaebol' Se-gye.
The first episode of 'Beautiful World' will be broadcast at 9:50 p.m. on the 8th.
