'Brave New World' lead actors Im Ji-yeon and Heo Nam-jun directly revealed the key viewing points for the final two remaining episodes.

'Brave New World' (directed by Han Tae-seop and Kim Hyun-woo, script by Kang Hyun-ju), an SBS Friday-Saturday drama, is a romance comedy drama featuring a tense, war-like relationship between Shin Seo-ri (played by Kang Dan-sim, portrayed 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 Lee Hyun, portrayed by Heo Nam-jun), a vicious chaebol called a monster born of capitalism. Im Ji-yeon and Heo Nam-jun's perfectly matched performances and chemistry are exploding, driving an unstoppable upward trend.

'Brave New World' achieved its highest-ever ratings in its 12th episode, with 11% in the Seoul metropolitan area and 10.5% nationwide, breaking its own record once again. It swept the top spot in both the Friday-Saturday mini-series ratings and the weekly mini-series ratings. Additionally, with a peak 2049 demographic rating of 3.98% and an average of 3.4%, it secured the number one position among all programs aired during the week, proving itself as the undisputed top program (based on Nielsen Korea data).

'Brave New World' particularly heightened tension in the previous broadcast as Seo-ri and Se-gye, who had begun a direct confrontation, faced an unexpected time-and-space-crossing separation crisis. The episode then unfolded with Seo-ri realizing she is the 'real Shin Seo-ri' and awakening, creating gripping suspense.

'Brave New World' Episode 13's trailer featured Seo-ri saying, "I won't go back. I've returned to where I belong," and previewed Se-gye's counterattack that will officially put a brake on Choi Moon-do's (played by Jang Seung-jo) plans, sparking curiosity.

'Brave New World' lead actors Im Ji-yeon, Heo Nam-jun, and Jang Seung-jo directly shared the key viewing points for the final two episodes.

'Brave New World' lead actress Im Ji-yeon said, "In the remaining two episodes, the biggest viewing point is whether the intertwined fate of Seo-ri and Se-gye from their past lives will reach a conclusion and if they can achieve a happy ending. I ask viewers to stay with us until the very end."

'Brave New World' lead actor Heo Nam-jun said, "Se-gye and Seo-ri are racing toward the climax of the drama. I hope viewers will emotionally connect with the increasingly heartfelt stories of the two and watch with us."

'Brave New World' villain Jang Seung-jo, who plays Choi Moon-do, who opened a new world for villains, added, "As I am Moon-do... I hope viewers will watch with interest to see what kind of period I will ultimately put at the end."

'Brave New World' Episode 13 and the final Episode 14 will air at 9:50 PM on the 19th and 20th, respectively.
