First teaser for My Dearest Nemesis highlights quirky romance and nostalgic tension
The first teaser for tvN's upcoming drama My Dearest Nemesis released on January 13, 2025, blends humor and awkward charm. It introduced viewers to the quirky dynamics between Choi Hyun-wook's Joo-yeon and Moon Ga-young's Baek Su-jeong.
The teaser of My Dearest Nemesis begins with a dramatic sequence where a purple dragon awakens, accompanied by Joo-yeon's voiceover declaring, "Now is the time... I, the Black Flame Dragon that was sealed for thousands of years, have awakened!" However, the scene hilariously shifts to reality, revealing Joo-yeon playing with a dragon figurine in secret.
Unbeknownst to him, Baek Su-jeong walks in and catches him mid-act, asking:
"What are you doing?"
Flustered, Joo-yeon’s face turns pink as he tries to hide the figurine, nervously responding, "What?" Su-jeong, unrelenting, teases him further, attempting to uncover what he has hidden, asking if it's something to eat. Her voiceover then adds to the humor, stating:
"I'll turn a blind eye to the chief's (your) private life."
My Dearest Nemesis is based on the webtoon He's a Black Dragon (그놈은 흑염룡) by Hye Jin Yang (혜진양). The drama tells a love story of two people reuniting after 16 years in unexpected circumstances.
Moon Ga-young plays Baek Su-jeong, a team leader at Yongsung Department Store. She is hardworking, assertive, and highly respected for her performance. Su-jeong is known as the "Executive Killer" for challenging anyone who crosses the line at work. Her life changes when she meets Ban Joo-yeon, her new boss.
Joo-yeon is the director of the strategic planning division and heir to the department store. Their reunion is full of tension and history. Sixteen years ago, Su-jeong and Joo-yeon met online through a game.
He used the ID "Black Salt Dragon," embodying his teenage angst. For Su-jeong, it was one of the worst times of her life.
Joo-yeon, played by Choi Hyun-wook, had fallen in love with Su-jeong back then. Her game ID was "Strawberry." She was his first love, but when he confessed, she rejected him. The heartbreak left a lasting impact on Joo-yeon.
Now, they work together. Joo-yeon is Su-jeong’s boss, while old emotions and unresolved conflicts resurface. Their shared past becomes central to their complex relationship.
Im Se-mi joins the cast of My Dearest Nemesis as Seo Ha-jin, a laid-back bar owner and close friend of Baek Soo-jung. Kwak Si-yang appears as Kim Shin-won, the design department head at Yongsung Department Store.
The supporting cast also includes Ban Hyo-jung as Jeong Hyosun, Ban Joo-yeon’s grandmother, and Go Chang-seok as Baek Soo-jung’s father.
Directed by Lee Soo-hyun and written by Kim Soo-yeon, My Dearest Nemesis is set to premiere on tvN on February 17, 2025. The 16-episode series will air every Monday and Tuesday, with each episode running 1 hour and 10 minutes.
Anticipation is high for the drama's refreshing mix of romance, humor, and nostalgia, leaving fans eager for its debut.
