My Dear Nemesis: Plot and trailer

In the show, Baek Su-jeong is the leader of the planning team at Yongsung Department Store. Known for her hard work and sharp instincts, she never hesitates to challenge anyone at work. Her life takes an unexpected turn when Ban Ju-yeon, the newly appointed director of the strategic planning division and the store’s successor, becomes her boss.

Their connection dates back 16 years to their teenage days in an online game. Su-jeong, using the ID “Strawberry,” encountered Ju-yeon, who went by “Black Salt Dragon,” a persona embodying teenage angst. While Ju-yeon saw her as his first love, Su-jeong dismissed his confession, leaving him with his first heartbreak. For her, that period remains one of the worst memories of her life.

Now reunited as colleagues, their past resurfaces, leading to a mix of unresolved emotions and workplace tension. As they navigate their complicated history, My Dear Nemesis explores their evolving relationship in a blend of romance and humor.
