Just Huh Nam-jun?.. Jang Seung-jo, a brilliant double-role villain, opens a 'New World'

Actor Jang Seung-jo is drawing attention for playing a double-role villain in SBS's "Beautiful New World."

Jang Seung-jo is delivering a villainous performance that transcends time and space in the currently airing SBS Friday-Saturday drama "Beautiful New World." He is portraying both Choi Moon-do, a modern-day villain, and Prince Lee Jae (who becomes King Anjong of the Joseon Dynasty) from a past life.

Choi Moon-do is a brainy strategist who silently sets traps to ensnare Cha Se-gye (played by Lee Hyun) and Huh Nam-jun, exuding a dual aura. Rather than openly venting evil, he maximizes the chill by carefully controlling his actions, expressions, and even his laughter with precise pacing.

At the same time, through Prince Lee Jae, Jang Seung-jo unflinchingly reveals the cold-blooded absolute ruler who stained his hands with his brothers' blood in his quest for the dragon robe. Lee Jae, who treats people merely as "tools," orders Kang Dan-sim (played by Shin Seo-ri, Im Ji-yeon) to "become my brother's confidant, even if it means becoming my most cherished dog." His kingly charisma and suffocating lust for power intersect seamlessly with the sophisticated conspiracy of the modern-day Choi Moon-do, adding three-dimensional depth to the drama.

As a result, whenever Jang Seung-jo appears on screen, he creates a sense of horror that shifts the genre from romantic comedy to suspense, taking responsibility for the diverse entertainment value of "Beautiful New World."

"Beautiful New World" airs every Friday and Saturday at 9:50 p.m.
