On April 29, the production team of My Royal Nemesis unveiled the main poster featuring Lim Ji-yeon and Heo Nam-jun. The poster shows the 2 actors facing each other across time, raising anticipation for their unusual romance.
My Royal Nemesis is a romantic comedy about Shin Seo-ri, an unknown actress who becomes possessed by the spirit of Kang Dan-shim, a notorious villainess from the Joseon era. Lim Ji-yeon plays Shin Seo-ri and Kang Dan-shim, while Heo Nam-jun plays Cha Se-gye, a ruthless chaebol heir described as a monster created by capitalism.
In the released poster, Lim Ji-yeon and Heo Nam-jun stand side by side inside an embroidered painting decorated with peony flowers and butterflies. Lim Ji-yeon appears in royal court attire, hiding the sharp energy of a villainess while glancing sideways. Beside her, Heo Nam-jun wears a modern suit and looks at her with a deep gaze, creating a strange but romantic atmosphere.
The contrast between Lim Ji-yeon’s traditional palace outfit and Heo Nam-jun’s modern styling highlights the drama’s fantasy-romance concept. The poster also includes the line, “What a wonderful world to live in!” The phrase hints at the new fate the 2 characters will create as they cross time and social boundaries.
My Royal Nemesis is written by Kang Hyun-joo and directed by Han Tae-seop. The drama will consist of 14 episodes. The series is expected to combine romance, comedy, fantasy, and historical elements through the meeting of a Joseon villainess and a ruthless modern-day chaebol heir.
With Lim Ji-yeon taking on a character linked to both the present and the Joseon era, and Heo Nam-jun playing a cold-blooded chaebol figure, viewers are curious about how their unusual relationship will unfold. My Royal Nemesis will premiere on May 8 at 9:50 p.m. KST on SBS.
