Enjoyable? Fun? Clicheyish? All of that and loving it!
I just love this so much. It’s like reliving that feeling when I first started watching kdramas during covid. The feeling of immersion, a discovery of new heights in screen entertainment, impatiently waiting for episodes. It’s the type of love story that captures your feelings right away, toe curls, and automatic smiles. Oh my heart this is so cute. Maybe it’s the leads, especially main guy. Fresh!! Leads are having a blast obviously because it translates through the screen. Their interactions, line deliveries resonates in laughter, frowns, shocks. Yeah it’s them. When you think of it, the plot is so similar to hundreds others so yeah, they are making the plot immersing. I love it!!Was this review helpful to you?

Masterpiece of Excellence
First: I do not like history dramas and I deliberately avoid them unless the comedy and/or time slip are notoriously very good - which very rarely happens. Consequently I was very skeptical and expected to rashly drop this series. Fortunately, the historical part is kept at a few percent and it serves only as pretext for some comedy, motivation and tension creating moments. That is ok especially because everything else hits the highest levels of excellence.We assist to
A FESTIVAL of Im Ji Yoen
who acts and looks like a cinema goddess at each very moment of the 14 episodes.
The writing, camera, direction and music genially support her.
Unlike in other series, the other actors kept the level.
Many trops of the K-drama are here, though we also have several strong women
and a few beautiful side stories that are out of the k-drama standard,
explaining the disdain of the purists that wish only the same old crap again and again.
I rarely feel the need to watch a series immediately after finishing it, but this made me feel like it.
It is a masterpiece of excellence, you should not miss it:
500% worth its watching time.

butterflies guaranteed
It's been a long time since I was so smitten by a show's love story unfolding, basically from enemies to lovers. "My Royal Nemesis" offered that and so much more. The plot was good, I got to laugh, I got to cry and most importantly - I was never once bored. The story was a bit messy around 1,5 last episodes, but I'm glad we got a happy ending. I loooooooved Shin Seo-ri's character so much, it was so fresh and the way she was so rebel was very satisfying. Cha Se-gye's character was kind of similar to hers' but it was still fun to see how the two of them tried to untangle their relationship.Also, Lim Ji-yeon as an actress has showed us a different side to her, compared to her role in "The glory" which was very rewarding to see:)
(I haven't watched Heo Nam-jun's other dramas, but I know he has played more villain-y role before as well, so I think if you've seen his other dramas it could be cool to see him in this kind of setting as well!)
Concept-wise it was quite clean and totally understandable story.
1000/10 would watch again!

Delightful *masterpiece*
This drama is so DELIGHTFUL!!!! FL actress is one of my favs. She is a master actor for sure. R * E * S * P * E * C * T!!!! I totally hated ML in 100 Memories and I was convinced back then that he cannot act.... but here - omg he is such a great actor. A very great handsome lunatic lmao Such talent for comedy lmaoI am so much enjoying this show!!!!!!
FL actress is a chameleon, she is always THE character she is acting..... every time.... here it is so funny to see her all meek and subservient.. lmao And I love her street smarts :) XXX OOO XXX
She was the most amazing villain in The Glory.... Great in Nice to Not Meet you but her ML was acting too cheesy and kinda killed it. Here, the ML/FL pair is ***perfect**.
and ML actor and his eyes moving around, e.g. start of ep 3 holding her ... that was soooo hilarious. I am so glad I got to see him in a real role. He is great!
THIS DRAMA IS A MASTERPIECE CLASSIC
and the rating should be a lot higher
i am so grateful we get to watch this. Bravo to the MRN team!!!!
As for rewatch: I think it would be great to rewatch as there are so many nuances in acting
That scene on the roof top at the start of ep 3 was so hilarious and so showing their acting skillZ
and then all the other scenes ... too many to mention... it is totally totally HILARIOUS and deep ... such great acting... and is getting scary as we get to meet the SML/King more and more.. bc he is ... a PSYCHO SOCIOPATHIC MONSTER and seems like harmed FL/ML in the past and now is the chance for them to self defend. I am sure they can, FL can certainly take care of anything lmao Fighting!!!!!

A Promising Show I'm Looking Forward To
My Royal Nemesis has been a breath of fresh air with a good deal of new tropes.You rarely get to see what happens from the viewpoint of the claimed 'villainess/villain' but getting to see not just one but 2 of them is truly remarkable. An added bonus would be their amazing chemistry and acting that simply pulls you along for a memorable ride.
It is funny, emotional and relatable and despite it not even being aired completely, I would like to recommend it to you if you're looking for something classic yet different at the same time.
I'm keeping my eyes peeled for the rest of it.
Hehe

Lim ji yeon is better than this
Another furmulaic and kitcshy kdrama from SBS.I decided to give this series a chance because I think Lim Ji-yeon is a good actress and very charismatic. After watching the first episode of My Royal Nemesis, I thought it wasn’t bad, it had a good pace, and the scene where the FL had to drink the poison was emotional and powerful.
I even found myself laughing here and there.
However, the second episode exposed exactly what I feared this show would be- kitschy and formulaic, just like SBS knows how to do (like they did with dynamite kiss). The humor is childish and over-the-top, and there were far too many scenes of her adjusting to the modern world, which I found exhausting.
The scenes kept jumping back and forth between comedy and emotional drama. the lack of balance really showed a lack of professionalism. I can't even connect with Lim Ji-yeon's performance here. it feels exaggerated and forced. As for Heo Nam-jun, at first glance, he might look convincing as the cold chaebol, but in my opinion, he lacks the acting skills required for a leading role. his acting is robotic. It seems they preferred to rely on his looks (like that shirtless scene) rather than his actual acting abilities.

My Royal Nemesis
I love that this drama has me kicking my feet and smiling throughout each and every episode. So far i have only re-watched a k drama once , but this is definitely one that is tempting me to rewatch because i can't get enough .I love how the Leads are so strong , and captivating.
Hopefully they pulled through with the entire series

controversial aspects of the work
This is a textbook example of how China exploits Korean dramas for their 'Cultural Project.' The excessive use of Chinese idioms, constant referencing of Chinese sages, and a low-born queen fluently using Hanja are all historically inaccurate. It’s painfully obvious that these elements were directed under the influence of Chinese capital to glorify Chinese culture.Most notably, the concept is a blatant gender-swapped rip-off of Zhang Yimou’s movie The Terracotta Warrior (1989). Even the plot point of a time-traveling protagonist becoming an actor is identical. Both the narrative and the visual style of citing Hanja feel jarringly foreign to Korean audiences.
This work is highly likely to face severe backlash over plagiarism and its questionable subservience to Chinese financial influence. This production company has a long history of controversies involving Chinese capital—this is far from the first time.

soul transported drama
This fun to watch. I was expecting little bit more of a mature type rom com but this was still good.I think Cha Se Gye and Sin Seo Ri had great chemistry but I wanted to see more.
Ummm the villain Choi Mun Do was in the drama too long LOL. they should have gotten rid of him a long time ago LOL.
Overall it was a good soul transported drama but I wont rewatch

Just loved it
An awesome cast. Throughout the entire drama, I couldn't get enough of Heo Nam Jun, especially his eyes. The way he acted out his embarrassment at Sin Seo Ri's determination. Great acting, cool soundtracks, and a pretty deeply piercing story. I cried so much when Cha Se Gye was looking for Shin So-ri. 😭 At the moment, it's one of the best dramas of 2026.Was this review helpful to you?
