Lim Ji-yeon has finally realized who she truly is.
On the episode of the SBS Friday-Saturday drama "Brave New World" aired on June 13, the character Shin Seo-ri came to a realization about her true identity.
On this day, after much deliberation, Shin Seo-ri confessed everything to Cha Se-gye. She said, "I am going back. I have to return to where I came from. So, let's do everything starting today. Let's do it one by one so there are no regrets."
In response, Cha Se-gye asked, "Are you teasing me? You're leaving? You're just going to leave? That makes no sense. When are you leaving?"
Shin Seo-ri, who explained she would be returning in about half a month, said, "I know it will be hard for you. I know that well. That is why I am telling you the truth for your sake, without hiding anything."
Cha Se-gye became agitated, saying, "You asked me on a date today for my sake? Just to tell me something as ridiculous as that?"
He continued, "Why did you shake up someone who was living their life quietly if you were just going to leave like this? You made a fool out of me, someone who was living with gritted teeth and only looking at you. No, you can't go. I won't let you go. Get that through your head," he said firmly before walking away.
Watching him leave, Shin Seo-ri revealed her true feelings, saying, "I don't want to go either. I want to stay by your side," creating a poignant moment.
Meanwhile, Cha Se-gye begged Choi Moon-do, who was planning to demolish Shin Seo-ri's grandmother's restaurant, to spare it. Cha Se-gye pleaded, "I haven't done anything right for that woman. So please, just leave that place alone."
Choi Moon-do replied, "Is that an order or a request? Choose one." Cha Se-gye bowed his head and said, "I'll do whatever you want. I'll be stepped on, I'll bow down. It may be a trivial, messy restaurant to us, but it is a home and a life to someone else. So please, just look past that one thing, I beg you."
However, Choi Moon-do mocked Cha Se-gye, saying, "I thought you were just a kid, but you've become a man. I guess we can talk now, right? But Se-gye, I've already given special instructions to the demolition team. I told them never to stop, no matter who it is or what happens. What are you going to do about that?"
After meeting with her grandmother, Shin Seo-ri felt confused as memories began to surface like puzzle pieces—memories that felt as if they were her own. Shin Seo-ri wondered, "They feel exactly like my own memories. How?"
At that very moment, all her memories fell into place. Shin Seo-ri realized that she was not Kang Dan-shim, who had entered Shin Seo-ri's body, but was in fact the real Shin Seo-ri, raising curiosity about how the story will unfold from here.
