'My Royal Nemesis' Lim Ji-yeon misunderstood Heo Nam-jun's sympathetic look and became angry, but Heo Nam-jun instead approached her honestly.
On the 16th, the SBS Fri-Sat drama 'My Royal Nemesis' (directed by Han Tae-seop, written by Kang Hyun-joo, produced by Studio S·Gil Pictures) revealed Shin Seori (played by Lim Ji-yeon) taking a step forward as an actress, Cha Mun-do (played by Jang Seung-jo) showing a cruel side, and Cha Se-gye (played by Heo Nam-jun) having a warm inner self different from his exterior.
Shin Seori encountered a puppy. Because she herself had no home or possessions, she tried to drive the dog away, but the puppy followed her persistently. Shin Seori threw a stone far to divert the puppy's attention and ran away. However, she soon regretted it, and ultimately Shin Seori, holding the puppy, confronted the home shopping assistant director at the police station.
It was Cha Se-gye who rescued Shin Seori from that situation. Cha Se-gye was astonished to see Shin Seori holding a dog. Shin Seori said, "I met the dog while passing by," and Cha Se-gye nagged, "If you're not going to take responsibility for life, you shouldn't raise a dog." Then Shin Seori said, "So you want to see me, and then I'll return the favor," and asked, "Keep this dog. By the way, does the man you call your brother come to your house often?"
Before becoming a concubine, Shin Seori, that is, Gang Dan-geum, who had been a palace maid, once chased away a puppy she secretly liked after hearing that An Jong, during the crown prince's time, shot wild animals near the palace. The crown prince killed that dog to threaten Dan-geum and ordered her, "Become my younger sibling's Jeong In." Watching Cha Se-gye tremble, Shin Seori said, "He doesn't seem to visit often, so please take care of him," and left the dog with him.
Shin Seori went to see her grandmother Nam Ok-soon (played by Kim Hae-sook) to learn about her past. When Shin Seori said, "I have to do an interview where I talk about my childhood or the hardships of my life and the sorrows of an unknown actress, but my childhood memories come and go," Nam Ok-soon worried, saying, "Did your memories come and go when you were young? After the accident when you almost died, you behaved like that for a while," and added, "Your way of speaking has changed recently."
At that time, Cha Se-gye's family held a resort development launch ceremony, and gangsters came looking for the remaining property—the noodle shop owned by Shin Seori's grandmother. Shin Seori boldly declared, "I have no intention of bowing to your boss. That's no different from bowing to Japan! That's a line from episode 18 of Rustic Period, by Kim Du-han," and she quickly overpowered the gangsters. Cha Se-gye intervened, but when grandfather Cha Il-do asked what kind of relationship they had, Cha Se-gye made Shin Seori feel pained by replying, "I only helped a few times because of the circumstances."
Cha Se-gye visited Shin Seori's home. Shin Seori said, "Don't look at me pityingly. Don't see me as pathetic. Didn't I misunderstand? You're not even a fan, so you don't necessarily have to be in love with me, do you?" and added, "Even if we aren't anything between a man and a woman, worrying about and supporting someone—anyone would think that way." For Shin Seori, Cha Se-gye's feelings and that look were the only thing in the world that made her feel cared for by someone who wasn't family.
Cha Se-gye said, "What if it's not a misunderstanding? I'm a believer in black-and-white thinking. Either black or white, friend or foe. But you are neither. You keep confusing me," and Shin Seori, refusing to back down, said, "There's no hesitation. See, isn't that so?" placing her hand on his chest. Cha Se-gye then said, "If you're going to do it, do it clearly," and hugged Shin Seori.
