My Dearest Nemesis

Having now seen both, I prefer the current Kdrama featuring Choi Hyun-wook as the emotionally shut-down chaebol presumed heir to his Grandmaother's dept. Store empire and Moon Ga-young as the prickly, self-realized senior planning executive. Both are charming and their chemistry develops in a unique arc involving an epic first-love snafu that leaves both wounded, wary and hating their crush. Back when, she was an 19 y/o gamer "Strawberry" and he was a15 y/o master-gamer "Black Dragon." After their disastrous first IRL meeting, they never meet again until he arrives as the new Director (after she had gotten the last of many directors fired for bad behavior). They circle each other as adversaries, oblivious to their shared awful past. And she is difficult, prickly and judgey but capable. She rises to the management challenge he faces as a matter of professional pride. While they work together, they grow to trust & appreciate one another believably.

Each character has a well-developed arc and it never feels fake or forced to me.

A second couple, of older, more experienced and more wary lovers, know the true identities of the two but have no idea how to let them know who is who and as they fall in love. This couple is a lovely counterpoint to the other.

The chaebol's grandmother, a seriously flawed and aggrieved mother, blames her grandson for her son's death and clamps down on him.

Will they or won't they? Will he reveal himself and live his authentic life? It's great fun, doesn't drag in the middle that I noticed. Many funny moments. Choi really is a terrific leading man.

Unlike WWWSK, where the FL is a treacley-sweet perfect helpmate to Park Seo-joon's stiff chaebol, PSJ did too good a job of making himself self-involved and insufferable as a character attribute.

I was so curious about this sublime drama. First of'll the lead is so impeccable for each other it's like a dream couple. The theme of the plot is superb and it's so hysterical and astounding. I just optically canvassed the first episode and so relished it. Veto Ju-yeon and Baek Su-jeong their bond will be incredible they'll shine with their personalities. The Sixteen years later, plot was genuinely impressive the segment will be impacted by the way it's commenced so resplendent. Thanks a lot. The second episode treaser is also so exciting and very interesting. I'm also hoping that there'll be a happy ending.

The story revolves around a "otaku" CEO who have to hide his preferences and pose as a serious e hard CEO. His problem is his team leader who is a pragmatic woman who doesn't fear nobody and is the culprit for hers superiors fired. At the beginning he tries to fire her but soon he realise she is a very competent team leader and began to work together. The iteration of the two is hilarious and the way she finds by little the preferences of the CEO is very well written.

Another good Korean series to recomend and they become the leader in this genre.

I watch a lot the american and britsh series and there is not a series so god in the genre.

Mon Ga-young plays Baek Su-jeong who is the leader of the planning team, she is focused and lets her opinions be known earning her the nickname of director killer. After getting her previous director fired the new one Ban Joo-Yeon played by Choi Hyun-Wook immediately takes a disliking to her. What neither of them realise is that the deep distrust of the opposite sex they have can be linked back to an earlier meeting of theirs. Ga-young is always entertaining and the rest of the cast do a sterling job and we also have a second couple. I have given an 8 but probably closer to a 7.5 as although it is lightly amusing and a sweet story it never drew me in that much over the 12 episodes.

If uve been watching lots of intense, deep dramas and want a break, this is perfect. It's bright, light and easy to watch.

Overall plot is cliché as is for most rom coms but still maintains uniqueness and individuality.

Production quality is great, actors have good chemistry and scrumptious kisses.

Side characters get appropriate screen time hence feel real and the drama overall feels lived in and lively.

My fav were the side couple, they're SOOOO CUTE!!!!

I hated how the character of grandmother felt bland and only redemption was later, she went from mean villain to understanding elder within seconds,, that felt quite rushed.

Not the most mind blowing but just a simple, quality binge watch.
