Picture this: You fall in love with someone online. You spend countless nights gaming together, laughing, teasing, maybe even catching feelings (oops). But when you finally meet in real life—plot twist!—they’re NOT who you expected.
Sounds like the perfect mix of chaos and comedy, right? Well, that’s exactly what My Dearest Nemesis is serving, and trust me, it’s about to take over your watchlist.
With Moon Ga Young and Choi Hyun Wook leading the drama, this office romance is packed with misunderstandings, bickering, and major secondhand embarrassment—in the best way possible. Let’s dive into why you NEED to watch My Dearest Nemesis ASAP!
Two Gamers, One Big Misunderstanding
Baek Soo Jung (Moon Ga Young) is a total boss. She’s the head of the planning team at Yongsung Department Store, where she’s known for her work ethic, sharp tongue, and zero tolerance for nonsense. If she doesn’t like something, she’ll say it—whether it’s to a colleague, a rival, or even her own boss.
Enter Ban Joo Yeon (Choi Hyun Wook), the new and younger executive director. Rumor has it, he’s the heir to the department store empire. But instead of taking his new role seriously, he spends most of his time… arguing with Soo Jung. The two clash constantly, making everyone in the office wonder:
“Do they hate each other, or is this just slow-burn romance waiting to happen?”
But here’s the kicker—they already know each other.
Years ago, Soo Jung was obsessed with an online game. She played under the name “Strawberry” and had a gaming partner, “Black Salt Dragon”, whom she totally adored. They had a virtual squad and even planned a real-life meet-up.
And then, BOOM. The reveal?
Black Salt Dragon was a 15-year-old kid.
Yep. Soo Jung thought she was crushing on a guy her age, but instead, she had unknowingly been bonding with a middle schooler. The betrayal was real. She was SO DONE.
Fast forward to today, and guess who just walked into her office as her new boss?
Yep. Black Salt Dragon himself—Ban Joo Yeon.
Talk about awkward.
Why This Drama Is the Perfect Mix of Romance and Chaos
1. Enemies-to-Lovers, But Make It Corporate
We’ve seen office romances before, but My Dearest Nemesis adds a fresh twist by throwing in gaming history, unresolved drama, and years of miscommunication.
Soo Jung and Joo Yeon have the best kind of love-hate dynamic. She sees him as an immature rich kid, while he finds her attitude infuriatingly attractive (even if he won’t admit it). Their banter is top-tier, full of sarcasm, snarky comebacks, and moments that will make you scream, “JUST KISS ALREADY!”
2. Moon Ga Young = Queen of Rom-Coms
If you’ve seen True Beauty or Find Me in Your Memory, you already know that Moon Ga Young is a rom-com powerhouse. She has the best facial expressions, delivering everything from exaggerated frustration to unexpectedly soft moments that hit you right in the feels.
And let’s be honest, her chemistry with Choi Hyun Wook? OFF THE CHARTS.
3. The Comedy is Chef’s Kiss 🤌
This drama doesn’t just rely on romance—it’s hilarious. From gaming disasters to workplace disasters, you’ll be laughing at every single interaction between these two.
Some standout moments?
✅ Soo Jung roasting Joo Yeon in front of their team.
✅ Joo Yeon trying (and failing) to assert his authority.
✅ Awkward flashbacks to their cringey gaming past.
And let’s not forget the iconic sibling energy between Soo Jung and her younger sister (played by Lim Se Mi). True Beauty fans, this is your reunion moment!
