In 'Beautiful World', Im Ji-yeon returns to Joseon 300 years ago.
SBS's Friday-Saturday drama 'Beautiful World' (directed by Han Tae-seop and Kim Hyun-woo; written by Kang Hyun-ju) is a romantic comedy about an explosive war-like romance between Shin Seo-ri (played by Kang Dan-sim, portrayed by Im Ji-yeon), a nameless actress possessed by the soul of the legendary Joseon villainess and turned into a 'villain', and Cha Se-gye (played by Lee Hyun, portrayed by Heo Nam-jun), a villainous chaebol called a monster born from capitalism. 'Beautiful World' has held the number one spot in the TV-OTT integrated popularity rankings for three consecutive weeks, with cast members Im Ji-yeon, Heo Nam-jun, and Jang Seung-jo securing 2nd, 3rd, and 6th places respectively in the cast popularity category, demonstrating overwhelming popularity (based on Fundex data from June 1 to June 7). In particular, even in the fifth week of broadcast, the series soared to 2nd place in the weekly viewership rankings of Netflix's 'Global Top 10 Non-English Shows' (based on TMDb data from June 1 to June 9), continuing its unparalleled global success.
In the previous 10th episode, Se-gye, who appeared in a dream to Kang Dan-sim (played by Im Ji-yeon), accepted that she is now Seo-ri, embarking on a full-fledged two-way romance that transcends 300 years.
However, Seo-ri and Se-gye's grandfather Cha Dal-soo (played by Yoon Ju-sang) were involved in a mysterious truck accident, delivering a shock. Especially, Seo-ri had previously attempted a direct confession to avoid repeating the pain of her past life. Just as the hearts of the two were about to connect, a traffic accident put the brakes on their relationship, evoking regret.
Among these, the 11th episode preview captured Seo-ri waking up in the body of Dan-sim from the Joseon era, exclaiming, "Are you truly back?" sparking curiosity about future developments.
Stills released on the 12th revealed Seo-ri's return to Joseon, drawing attention. While viewers wonder why Seo-ri is trapped in Dan-sim's body against her will, the meaningful gaze of Do Mun-nyeo (played by Oh Min-ae) looking at Seo-ri heightens the tension.
In particular, the fact that Seo-ri, who time-slipped from Joseon to the 21st century, was suddenly forcibly summoned back to Joseon is the main highlight. Viewers are keen to see what will happen to Seo-ri after returning to Joseon and whether she can return to Se-gye in the 21st century.
The 11th episode of 'Beautiful World' will air at 9:50 p.m. on the 12th.
