'My Royal Nemesis' Lim Ji-yeon and Heo Nam-jun's fantasy romantic comedy drama is making viewers anxious with a fast-paced and delightful development that adds deepening affection and past backstory.
On the 22nd, the SBS Friday-Saturday drama 'My Royal Nemesis' (directed by Han Tae-seop, written by Kang Hyun-joo, produced by Studio S·Gil Pictures) aired, in which Cha Se-gye (played by Heo Nam-jun) and Shin Seo-ri (played by Lim Ji-yeon) embraced at Cha Se-gye's request last week to confirm their feelings. Cha Se-gye was confident, but Shin Seo-ri was firm.
Cha Se-gye looked at the rejecting Shin Seo-ri and said, "That can't be. You hugged a man who emits pheromones like me. Don't act tough," and thought they had felt it together, saying, "That can't be, you must have felt what I felt too."
At Shin Seo-ri's repeated uninterested expressions, Cha Se-gye grumbled as he disappeared soaked by the rain, saying, "Will you make me regret it for the rest of my life?" He kept mulling it over even while exercising. Cha Se-gye thought, "You should act tough only to a reasonable degree to be seen as cute," and, "Why are you acting like nothing's wrong? When you handed me the letter you were making people confused," suggesting in his lines that he already found Shin Seo-ri cute. What he thought was shocking when she first appeared could already be interpreted as a sign he had fallen in love long ago.
Soon Cha Se-gye thought, "This woman is playing hard to get with me," and asked Deputy Minister Son (played by Yoo Byung-hee) how to learn to play that game. Deputy Minister Son advised, "You can't just give her an opening. You have to carpet-bomb her."
Cha Se-gye, saying, 'Males that lure females with flashy looks, like male peacocks,' dressed up in an all-black tailored suit to become a 'male who won't be eliminated,' just like in the animal documentary. The shop owner was surprised, saying, "You just had a new suit made last week, are you having another jacket made?" It was exactly the frantic effort of someone in love trying to dress nicely.
Cha Se-gye told Shin Seo-ri, "I will take your heart. You say you're fine. You say you have less sense than a stray dog," but also said, "I don't think a woman like Shin Seo-ri is innocent," and, "You're skilled at lying. You don't hesitate to use any means for your purpose."
Shin Seo-ri did not know whether this was revenge against her or an instigation to fight. Cha Se-gye said obediently, "I heard that in 'Love and War' letting the other win is how you win. Since I've been wrong until now, let's start over." Shin Seo-ri asked, "Do you really adore me?" and Cha Se-gye said, "I adore you." But Shin Seo-ri had already vowed since episode 1 that she would definitely remain unmarried in this life, and in this episode she resolved to become a wealthy Buddhist nun. She pressed down her trembling heart and rejected Cha Se-gye again.
Shin Seo-ri confronted the director, saying that the hairstyle of the inner women's quarters from the Joseon era, the background of her life, was not historically accurate. She delivered a bold, personal conviction and a silent resonance that historical evidence should be properly respected, saying, "No matter how much you call it Hell Joseon or say that morals have declined, shouldn't historical accuracy be properly observed?"
Meanwhile, Shin Seo-ri and Cha Se-gye unknowingly boarded the same flight to Jeju for a commercial shoot. Cha Se-gye collapsed, and Shin Seo-ri, seeing the unconscious Cha Se-gye, slapped his cheek and poured water on him, crying loudly, "Cha Se-gye! Are you coming to your senses? I thought you had crossed the three rivers of the underworld."
Cha Se-gye was not coming to. Perhaps because it hurt too much to be hit while unconscious, he ground his teeth and said, "Poison, a poisonous woman," then rolled his eyes and fainted. Shin Seo-ri grabbed Cha Se-gye's hand while an automated external defibrillator was in operation and fainted together. It was truly pleasant, refreshing, satisfying, and the sorrow felt as the past-life Shin Seo-ri's story with Lee Hyun (played by Heo Nam-jun) slightly revealed itself made this episode have nothing to discard. The ship had its sail, anchor, and oars all heading perfectly toward a complete conclusion.
