My Royal Nemesis is a brand new Korean romantic comedy, mixing fantasy, romance and a lot of chaotic humor. The series revolves around Shin Seo-ri, a struggling actress who is possessed by the spirit of one of the most notorious women in the Joseon era, turning her life upside down. She meets Cha Se-gye, the cold-hearted heir to one of the most powerful business empires in South Korea.
Centuries ago, Kang Dan-sim was a name to be feared throughout the kingdom, a sly, ambitious woman who fought to be a royal concubine, only to be sentenced to death by poison. But instead of dying, her soul mysteriously wakes up in present-day Seoul, in the body of Shin Seo-ri.
Seo-ri is now living in the modern world and must adapt to smartphones, celebrity culture and corporate dynasties while still carrying the mindset and attitude of a woman from the Joseon dynasty. Her sharp tongue, bold personality and unconventional behavior, quickly catches the attention of Cha Se-gye, the arrogant and notoriously difficult successor of Chail Group.
What starts as a tumultuous rivalry, fraught with constant clashes that lead to unexpected chemistry, slowly grows into something much deeper.
