Lim Ji-yeon left a powerful impression right from the first episode with her intense portrayal of a mad villainess.
In the premiere of the SBS Friday-Saturday drama ‘Brave New World’ aired on the 8th, a scene was revealed where Kang Dan-shim (Lim Ji-yeon) receives royal poison and meets her end.
Kang Dan-shim remained remarkably calm even in the face of death. She mocked the officials surrounding her and unleashed a barrage of sharp insults. She then expressed her deep resentment and anger, reflecting on her desperate struggle to survive within the palace.
In particular, Kang Dan-shim resisted violently, refusing the poison until the very end. She repeatedly pushed away the bowl, claiming she had words to deliver to the King. However, she was eventually forced to drink the poison, collapsing while coughing up blood, which instantly turned the scene into total chaos.
The moment Kang Dan-shim collapsed, dark clouds gathered in the sky and a total solar eclipse occurred, maximizing the ominous atmosphere. Her image, shedding tears and leaving behind meaningful words until the end, has heightened curiosity about what will happen next.
Meanwhile, ‘Brave New World’ is a war-like romantic comedy featuring Shin Seo-ri, an unknown actress who becomes “vicious” after being possessed by the soul of a legendary Joseon villainess, and Cha Se-gye (Heo Nam-jun), a vicious chaebol described as a monster born of capitalism. Lim Ji-yeon plays the role of Shin Seo-ri, the unknown actress who is possessed by the Joseon villainess Kang Dan-shim through a time-slip.
