Brave New World
A funny and touching story of cultural shock, where a shaman from the past meets a modern chaebol — the perfect spring romantic marathon.
SBS is preparing to premiere the drama Brave New World — starting on May 8, 2026. Kan Dan Shim is known as the most immoral femme fatale of the Joseon era. Sentenced to death by poisoning, she is transported to the year 2026 after her death and finds herself in the body of an unknown actress, Shin So Ri. Cha Se Ge is the sole heir of Chail Group, arrogant and rude. A chance encounter with Shin So Ri, dressed in shamanic clothes and behaving as if she has come from the past, turns his life upside down. The tone is light, fantastical, with comedic situations of cultural shock. The format is 16 episodes, standard for SBS prime time. If you enjoy Mystic Palace, Queen Cheorin, or dramas in the spirit of Soul Alchemy — Brave New World will continue the tradition of Korean historical fantasy.
