SBS Fri-Sat Comedic K-drama My Royal Nemesis with Lim Ji Yeon and Heo Nam Joon Garners Strong Praise Upon Premiere with Rising Ratings

There might be a surprise K-drama hit forthcoming and so far it’s deserving of the immediate buzz right out of the gate. SBS Fri-Sat drama My Royal Nemesis with Lim Ji Yeon and Heo Nam Joon premiered this weekend and has gone from 4.1% ratings to 5.4%. It’s not a huge jump nor impressive on the numbers, but it’s getting A LOT of online chatter and buzz which is a sign that people are not only watching but talking about it. I checked it out despite having no interest prior to the release and found it so entertaining, the leads are killing their respective roles especially Lim Ji Yeon just hitting grand slam homeruns from the first scene on, and they have chemistry with each other. The time-travel aspect for her sentenced to death Concubine character surviving and then thriving in the modern world is super satisfying to watch with a heroine that is easy to root for.
