Synopsis:
A romance comedy centered on a love-hate relationship between Sin Seo Ri, a legendary villainess from Joseon, and Cha Se Gye, a ruthless modern-day chaebol. Sin Seo Ri, a nameless actress who becomes possessed by the spirit of a notorious Joseon-era femme fatale, gains a vicious personality. Once a royal concubine of the highest rank who was called a national seductress and sentenced to death by poison, her soul is transported to the 21st century, where she begins a new life. @MDL
Non-Spoiler Thoughts:
So I'm torn... because the first chunk of episodes were so funny, but the plot lost it's flavor the longer it went on. The couple had good chemistry with a committed ML, and the transmigration twist was fun, but there were too many character inconsistencies and so much repetition. Plants do hate to see the FL coming.
If you aren't feeling My Dearest Nemesis, but are looking for something along the same lines, I'd recommend checking out the below:
Left to Right: The Story of Park's Marraige Contract (2023), Mr. Queen (2020), Queen and I (2012) .
Why I dropped:
I got bored
I didn't vibe with the FL when she was acting "gentle" or "naive". It almost felt like she was trying to act too young for her age. But she slayed when she was fierce.
I heard the ending biffed it.
FL character didn't make sense (she adheres to strict hierarchy in the modern world, even though she defied it in her time?) Maybe this would have been explained if I had kept going...
