'My Royal Nemesis' Lim Ji-yeon finally fainted together with Heo Nam-jun from an electric shock as she could no longer deny her feelings, while the drama's appeal blossomed colorfully in real time.
On the 22nd, the SBS Friday-Saturday drama 'My Royal Nemesis' (directed by Han Tae-seop, written by Kang Hyun-joo, produced by StudioS·Gill Pictures) showed Cha Se-gye's (played by Heo Nam-jun) struggle after being rejected by Shin Seo-ri (played by Lim Ji-yeon) and ended with Shin Seo-ri, who vowed she would never fall in love in this life, reaching a boiling point, leaving viewers waiting for the next episode.
Cha Se-gye said, "Isn't it glorious? Heir to a leading conglomerate, looks. Are you speechless? Isn't it thrilling? For a woman like you, this chance comes only once in a lifetime," thinking he had won Shin Seo-ri's favor. But Shin Seo-ri said, "It wasn't thrilling," and "It's nothing. I felt nothing even when you hugged me earlier." In response, Cha Se-gye said, "That can't be. You hugged a man who emits pheromones like me. Don't act tough," casually uttering a line that assumed he was an alpha male.
Was it possible because Shin Seo-ri was Kang Dan-sim from the Joseon era, a woman of dignity who knew the harshness of the world? Or was it possible because she didn't understand modern language? Shin Seo-ri did not scoff and replied, "That can't be. And I'm not pretending to be strong; I am strong," standing firm without yielding.
While watching media reports that once again painted Cha Se-gye as a vicious chaebol, he clenched his jaw in anger but his rage quickly turned back toward Shin Seo-ri because he remembered when she gently told him, "Thank you. Coming to this world, you were the most affectionate and grateful to me."
Cha Se-gye grumbled, "You should act tough only so much to be seen as cute," and, "Why are you indifferent? When you gave me a letter, you made me confused," but then got angry, saying, "This isn't playing hard to get. Is she multiple personalities?" He reached a strange conclusion: "This woman is playing hard to get with me."
Cha Se-gye, the vicious chaebol in an all-black suit with slicked-back hair, took dating advice from Deputy Minister Son. Grumbling, he reminded himself of terms like overwhelming force and carpet bombing and went to a bespoke suit shop.
Listening to a nature documentary narration on TV that said, 'Males seduce females with flashy appearances, like male peacocks,' and 'The wing beats of male peacocks striving not to be eliminated are desperate. Can they really win?,' he resolutely uttered a vow as if to win the female's choice. Calling himself a man overflowing with pheromones, Cha Se-gye, with a resolute expression like a hero who promised, 'I'll return before the drink gets cold,' sent a coffee truck to Shin Seo-ri's filming site and, elegantly placed in his supercar, headed to her.
But Shin Seo-ri said, "If your heart weakens, it's over. I'm a wealthy nun who cultivates my mind. The only thing that doesn't change in the world is money," and, "First is security, second is security. I will firmly restrain my heart and live a full life in this life," keeping her feelings tightly under control. Even when Cha Se-gye apologized for his initial mistake and admitted his affection, Shin Seo-ri remained so resolute that a needle could not pass through. Of course, she secretly suffered in her heart.
The incident soon occurred on the plane to Jeju. Cha Se-gye suddenly collapsed, and Shin Seo-ri, thinking he was dying, poured cold water on him and slapped his face repeatedly while crying for him to come back to life. With fierce hands and intense tears scattering, Shin Seo-ri was indeed a woman with the spirit of Joseon.
Then an automated external defibrillator appeared, and because Joseon noble consort Kang Shin Seo-ri did not know what it was, she grabbed Cha Se-gye's hand. When electricity passed through them together, they fainted side by side. Just before the defibrillator activated, Cha Se-gye ground his teeth, forced his eyes open and, saying to Shin Seo-ri, "A woman like poison," lost all his strength. With the fun of 60 minutes feeling like 6 minutes, no, 6 seconds and the catharsis of Shin Seo-ri shouting in the drama, "Historical accuracy must be observed," this drama was indeed poison. Therefore viewers would rightly rush to episode 6.
