Lim Jiyeon & Heo Namjun's Tearful Kiss Ending

In the 9th episode of SBS's Friday-Saturday drama "A Wonderful New World," Cha Se-gye (played by Heo Nam-jun) delivered a tearful kiss to Shin Seo-ri (played by Im Ji-yeon), exclaiming, "You only look at me!", marking an epic ending. The broadcast recorded a peak viewership rating of 11.0% and a nationwide rating of 9.5%, maintaining its top position in its time slot and as the No. 1 mini-series. The 2049 target audience rating soared to a high of 3.24%, and the show ranked within the top 3 globally for non-English TV shows on Netflix for four consecutive weeks, proving its popularity both domestically and internationally.

Cha Se-gye confessed that the woman appearing in his dreams, named 'Gang Ga-dan-sim,' seemed to be Shin Seo-ri, but Seo-ri feigned ignorance and moved past the situation. At the BiO.J brand launch party, a three-way encounter unfolded between Se-gye, Seo-ri, and Se-gye's fiancée, Mo Tae-hee (played by Chae Seo-an). The appearance of Se-gye's grandfather, Cha Dal-su (played by Yoon Joo-sang), further heightened the intrigue. As Seo-ri attempted to leave, Se-gye introduced her as the Dynasty model. Seo-ri then mimicked Tae-hee's speech pattern with an endearing charm, eliciting laughter.

Se-gye's jealousy exploded as he read the script for the "bedroom scene" in Seo-ri's drama "Kingdom of Women 2." Using his advertiser's authority, he altered the scene and even visited the filming set, warning the male lead to refrain from physical contact and revealing himself as "Shin Seo-ri's obsessive fan," which caused great amusement. Later, Se-gye, facing wisdom tooth surgery, showed a cute side by asking Seo-ri to stay by his side. During his twilight anesthesia, Se-gye dreamt of his past life as Grand Prince Lee Hyun (played by Heo Nam-jun) longing for a woman named 'Gang Dan-sim.' Seo-ri was shocked by his words.

After learning that Cha Se-gye was the reincarnation of Lee Hyun, Shin Seo-ri became even more cautious. Aware of the animosity between Lee Hyun and Crown Prince Lee Jae (played by Jang Seung-jo), Seo-ri warned Se-gye to be wary of Choi Mun-do (played by Jang Seung-jo). She then perplexed Se-gye by asking if she were Gang Dan-sim, would she be a woman who would abandon anything to survive. Upon encountering Lee Hyun's burned 'Beauty Portrait' at the museum, Seo-ri felt regret for the belatedly conveyed affection and resolved to no longer hide her feelings, deciding to pursue Cha Se-gye with unwavering affection.

Meanwhile, Choi Mun-do learned that Cha Dal-su was preparing Cha Se-gye to be his successor. When he was appointed as the head of the US branch, his eyes turned chilling. Cha Se-gye, aware that Choi Mun-do was eavesdropping on him and tampering with his medication, issued a warning. However, Choi Mun-do provoked Se-gye with a photo of him and Seo-ri, urging him to give up his return to the Cha Il Group.
