However, the final episode of My Dearest Nemesis was rescheduled to the day before, on March 24, 2025. Soon, tvN confirmed these reports through a social media post indicating that episodes 11 and 12 will air back-to-back on Monday, March 24, 2025, starting at 8.50 pm KST.

The third qualifying round of the FIFA North and Central America World Cup will see the South Korean team facing Jordan. The match is expected to take place on March 25, 2025, at 8 pm KST in Suwon. Notably, tvN does not typically air sports matches or shows, but the channel is reportedly avoiding the broadcast due to concerns about viewership ratings on the same day.

In My Dearest Nemesis episode 10, Ban Ju-yeon was dismissed from his position as director of Yongseong Department Store by the orders of the chairwoman and his grandmother, Jung Hyo-sun. She was disappointed in him for getting involved in a dating scandal with Baek Su-jeong and believed he was unfit for either the director’s position or the role of successor to Yongseong Group.

Jung Hyo-sun also abruptly demoted Baek Su-jeong from her position as team leader, hoping she would resign on her own. However, Baek Su-jeong persisted and continued working. According to the preview for episode 11, Jung Hyo-sun is expected to give Ban Ju-yeon and Baek Su-jeong another chance, contingent upon successfully executing the renewal project.

It remains to be seen whether Ban Ju-yeon and Baek Su-jeong will pass the test. The final episodes of My Dearest Nemesis are scheduled to air on March 24, 2025.
