My Dearest Nemesis

그놈은 흑염룡 ‧ Drama ‧ 2025
- In both dramas, the main characters first meet online while playing a game, and then meet in real life and at work (several years later in the case of My Dearest Nemesis tho).
- In both dramas, the FL resents the ML and has a strong character
- Both dramas are light romantic comedies

Both of the dramas portray an enemies to lovers pairing. They are both about an office romance between a CEO and an employee. In both the dramas there is an identity misunderstanding as in Business Proposal the female lead is lying about her identity and in My dearest nemesis the leads actually know each other but don't realise it. Also, the female leads in both the dramas is strong and driven.

They're both fun and light dramas with a more serious backdrop of abuse and neglect with the main male lead. Both male leads have a tense relationship with their grandparent that results them taking extreme measures - one goes to hide everything he likes and suppresses himself, and one develops OCD and mysophobia. Both grandparent in both dramas get off a bit too easily in my opinion - like sorry an apology is not going to heal years of abuse, but that's just me! Outside of that, both drama feature a boss-employee relationship, plenty of funny moments, and the main message is all about loving your partner as they are.

(I do admittedly like My Dearest Nemesis better, but if you need another drama that's similar in vibes and messages, but different enough that you aren't watching the same show again, I think CWPFN is one to consider.)

Similarities:
- Both have Mu Ka Yeong play the fl
- Both are Comedies
- Both are about Romance
- Both South Korean Dramas
- They both give off the same vibe, but in a different setting

Difference:
- My Dearest Nemesis is set in an office setting
- True Beauty is set in a school setting
- My Dearest Nemesis only has one love interest
- True Beauty is a love triangle
- My Dearest is based on fl and ml meeting on a game first, then meeting in real life years later and work together in an office as boss and employee
- True Beauty is about the fl that doesn't feel pretty enough bare faced, so she hide her face using makeup

They both have connections from past.
Both female lead work under the main male lead and have direct connection while working.
Both have similar age gap.
The stories are definitely different but they have similar shadows and resemblance in scenarios.

Azumi Nayuta is a young prodigy game developer who produces games privately under the name "John Doe" without any link with major company or distributor. Nayuta is often known as the "Banksy of the game industry" as no one knew his true identity, but an incident led him to leave game development. However, the story begins when "Atom", a long-established toy manufacturer that is on the verge of going out of business, begins to search for him in order to rebuild its business.

both are light hearted office romcoms

in both cases, the MC has a double secret life featuring a nerdy hobby ( her private life's FL Stans a Kpop idol, My Dearest nemesis's ML is an otaku and a metal head )

in both cases, ML is the mean boss of the hardworking but strongheaded FL

Both editing styles are similar with special fantasy worlds to depict their hobbies

Both are romcom set in office and their focus is comedy. I like the humor in those two dramas lmao
The chemistry in freaking fairytale is very good and it’s short so it’s an enjoyable to watch for pastime.

The vibe of a boss n employee relationships and the story where she goes to a countryside to convince a client and the boss following her, is sooooo much similar to KING THE LAND... The basic plot is very similar KTL.

The FL is older, both of them were part of an online gaming group, and their first meeting felt awkward.
The different is My Dearest Nemesis was on office setting

Both are GAMES + ROMCOM Kdramas,
and Enemies-to-Lovers Noona Romances.

In Lucky Romance ML & FL both work in Game Industry creating games.

In My Dearest Nemesis ML & FL both met Online only playing a game when younger and meet again in real life years later.

Both dramas tell stories about complicated relationships. "My Dearest Nemesis" seems to be about people getting over bad things that happened to them and growing as people. "My Sweet Mobster" seems to be about a man trying to be good after being bad. So, if you like shows with people who have old relationships and change a lot, or if you like shows about childhood relationship, you might like both of these dramas.
