In the first episode of the SBS Friday-Saturday drama ‘멋진 신세계’ aired on the 8th, viewers were introduced to Kang Dan-shim (played by 임지연) in a shocking scene where she faces death after being ordered to drink royal poison.
After receiving the king’s poison, Kang Dan-shim calmly finished a painting of plum blossoms before stepping outside. She shouted, “Did you all come to watch out of excitement? People who would dance with swords if I said I was dying have flocked like a pack of dogs. They say no flower blooms for ten days.”
Showing a glimpse of madness, Kang Dan-shim repeatedly threw away the poison before eventually being forced to drink it. After struggling and refusing, she finally collapsed while coughing up blood. Her tearful words, “Is this how I go in the end? Maybe this is for me,” have left fans curious about how the story will unfold.
