What Happened Before?
Several big developments in the recent episodes have raised the stakes considerably for the main characters. Relationships continued to evolve, threats emerged, and the final stretch of episodes was dramatic.

Preview of My Royal Nemesis Episode 11
Episode 11 preview hints at massive consequences after Kang and Dal-su’s accident that sends them both to the hospital.
Se-gye is devastated to learn of the incident and has a hard time coping with the situation. Meanwhile, Mun-do assumes the role of chairman of Chail Group, another significant move in the company’s power structure.
Elsewhere, Dynaestie is being investigated following claims some of its products contain carcinogenic substances. The scandal promises to cause even more havoc for a number of key characters.
The plot thickens when a woman turns up dead. The nurse involved in the ongoing investigation could be the victim, and the authorities question Se-gye to find out more about the case.
One of the most interesting moments in the teaser is when Kang wakes up in the Joseon era. She is not sure if she has really travelled back in time. She meets a servant who suspiciously resembles Fortune Teller Geum which indicates another big twist in the story.
There are only a few episodes left and Episode 11 is expected to be packed with emotional drama, shocking revelations, and perhaps some game-changing moments as the series rushes toward its ending.
