My Royal Nemesis

Completed Korean Drama 2026 14 episodes
Watch Experience 3.5/5

Kang Dan-sim was one of Joseon’s most notorious women, a cunning royal concubine who fought her way to power, only to meet a deadly end. Three hundred years later, she unexpectedly awakens in modern-day Seoul inside the body of Shin Seo-ri, a struggling actress whose life could hardly be more different from the palace world Dan-sim once ruled. Armed with Joseon instincts but absolutely no understanding of modern life, Dan-sim soon crosses paths with Cha Se-gye, a powerful third-generation chaebol and CEO who is just as ruthless in the corporate world as she once was at court. Their collision becomes a battle of wills between two people accustomed to getting their own way and neither is prepared for what happens when rivalry begins turning into attraction. My Royal Nemesis is a reincarnation fantasy rom-com that throws a formidable Joseon villainess into modern-day capitalism, where surviving corporate warfare, celebrity life, and an infuriating chaebol heir may prove even trickier than surviving the royal court.
