Meu Querido Nêmesis

I was honestly so curious about how the chemistry would work between the two of them, but after just the first episode, I was completely hooked! The concept is such eye candy-it's fun, engaging, and just the right mix of sweetness and charm. As for Choi Hyun Wook, I've mostly seen him play student roles, so watching him take on the character of a company director was a nice change. It's a more serious role, but he absolutely nailed it. What I love most is how he balances his character's serious side with his childlike, more playful side. He brings such a natural, effortless energy to it, and honestly, he's so funny! There were so many moments where I just couldn't stop laughing. His performance is really complex, and he just makes it look so easy.

Moon Ga Young, too, is incredible. You can tell she's a true actress-knowing she's way older than him, she holds her own so well against Hyun Wook. She never feels too mature for him, and they really complement each other.

Despite the age gap, the chemistry between him and Moon Ga Young feels so natural and sweet. There are these little moments when you can see Hyun Wook blushing around her, and it's just too cute! It makes their connection even more genuine. Honestly, you should check out the BTS-it's a total eye candy, especially seeing him blush when they're filming. As for the show itself, the plot isn't heavy, but that's exactly what makes it so enjoyable. It's light, relaxing, and has this easy charm that makes it perfect to unwind with.

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.

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.

My Dearest Nemesis is another regular K-drama that follows classic overused pattern of romance that we frequently come across many korean dramas. While I was expecting something high from Choi Hyun Wook due to his recent selection of dramas, this drama is totally forgettable and full of clichés.

To begin with, I didn't sense any actual chemistry between the leads in any scene. The plot was lacklustre as it followed common trope of enemies to lovers, but in this drama, it was too quick.

The geek side of the male character felt cringey and awkward, instead of cute and endearing. While the drama had some good moments, the rest were nothing special and even at 12 episodes, it felt a long stretch. Better watch 100s of better dramas in the same genre out there.

My Rating : 5/10.

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.
