Comments

Jasjit Jul 19 2026 4:56 am Did not like the play . No head or tail. H eo Nam Jun , was very good, good actir..but wanted . Lim jeYeon, didn't like her at all, over acted and spoke in Monotone . Very blank expressions . Jang seung jo was good. I did not watch the whole drama. Was just skipping it to understand what they were saying. Sorry . It's 3/10 for me

LembahBuru Jul 19 2026 1:32 am I really like the storyline, I usually watch at 2× speed, but for this drama I have to watch at normal speed

super Jul 17 2026 6:24 pm I watched this drama because of the hype. I am on episode 8 and not sure which part that is funny or considered to be comedy. It's pretty boring, the story is flat, too many fillers dan cliche. I don't see much progress between the FL and ML, they have no chemistry. I have to drop, sorry.

Carol Goh Jul 14 2026 2:11 am Seriously I think I am the only that gave it a -ve review, No chemistry at all. Is strange that this Cha Se Gye would suddenly fall in love with the FL. Too sudden. Is not that she is so pretty and cute, and talks like a man. She is not funny at all. Just cant continue

Kk Jul 08 2026 2:58 am My royal nemesis 16 episodes lahhh

We want more!

Lia Jul 05 2026 12:22 pm This drama is fresh. No sloppy scene. Good plot, good story telling. Great acting. Superb chemistry.

I think those people who said they need explanation watched the drama with faster speed or fast forward lol.

For Donna: 1. Segye actually called her manager. And her manager said she was picked up by her boyfriend. So he directly went to the shooting site. Lol. Did you not watch that scene? 2. Mundo actually told Segye that he would destroy the restaurant? The secretary told him 3. Mundo has someone inside Segye’s circle. Ofcourse he always 10 steps ahead. Just like in Makjang drama storyline.

I dont belive you said you can predict the ending when you did not even understand those scenes you mentioned ??

Munimm Jul 04 2026 6:54 pm One of my best dramas of the first half of the year. Good job to the cast and crew ✨. Heo nam jun and lim ji yeon are such a gem❤️

Munimm Jul 04 2026 6:51 pm I really love this drama✨.This was one of my best dramas of the first half of the year Good job to the cast and crew ??

Bubu Jul 02 2026 3:32 am Agree with Donna. Too many scenes that didnt have explanation. I skipped every scene with leads on bcs their script basically the same draggy thing and their action is always driven by other roles.

The storylines is too predictable and whats with cha se gye?!

He claims he can solve anything but all i can see choi mun do is always 10 steps ahead of him yet no action from him????

Hooper Jun 29 2026 3:16 am One of a lovely and yet a lot of twists of K-drama. Num Jun and Ji Yoen created a heartfelt characters for both times. As much as I was captivated with Cha Se Gye 's character, I was also attracted to the kindness of the Grand Prince Yi Hyeon. Ji Yeon is so beautiful in this drama and she made So Rie lively and Lovable. No matter any negative said, this is the best K-Drama of the first 6 months of 2026. Don't believe me, just watch it and prove me wrong ☺️.

Sky Jun 28 2026 12:09 am Good drama, funny, sad and romance all are balanced. The last scene with her grandma hits close to my heart. All actors and actresses are good! Yay, I like it!

Russell Jun 27 2026 6:12 pm It was just okay for me. There were too many predictable story cliches for me to be too surprised by any new plot developments. I am really enjoying Doctor On The Edge much, much more.

Donna Jun 27 2026 11:52 am I feel the story is rushed or have scenes that cut? So many episodes doesn’t have explanation of how something happened. When Seo-Ri’s friend tried to trap her and Se-Gye just suddenly showed up there without any scene of him looking for her around. Or when they about to demolish the grandmother restaurant, she’d be there out of nowhere at that time and Se-Gye just also knew that she was there. Also so many roles that doesn’t really do much, like Se-Gye’s aunts, even Grandfather. Usually powerful people has influence but theirs just like supporting actor. Just wanna say the story line could be better

Ddeonu Jun 27 2026 5:08 am Wow, I finally finished watching this drama. I really like it. Lim Ji Yeon and Namjoon's chemistry is very good. They portray their characters well. Two couples with cruel but adorable faces, hehe, that's what became a topic in Indonesia. The plot seems to be rushed, but I still enjoy it. All the actors in this drama are also very good and cool. Basically, I like it. My rating is 8.5/10

Zui Jun 24 2026 8:59 am There was no boring episode.Interesting throughout the whole series. The chemistry between the two leads was so good that I didn’t want the series to end. Well done to the team.100/100 recommend

ray Jun 23 2026 10:28 pm One thing in this drama happened a lot was that the company stock kept going up and down based on private lives of the family members. I wonder if South Korean institutional investors are really this wishy washy?!

lrt Jun 23 2026 4:23 pm This had some great one liners but had an anticlimactic ending for me where I expected the grandfather to be more involved setting things right or the King to be admonished in public or Chae Soe-An to for all her meddling....

Charlene Jun 23 2026 9:07 am 200/100. Most enjoyable romantic comedy I've watched in a very long time!

Make more of these, please!

Nur Zara Jun 23 2026 5:51 am I give 10/10 for My Royal Nemesis. Heo Nam-Jun and Lim Ji-Yeon are officially in my top 5 for The Best Couple And Chemistry In Kdrama so far! The story is good, thanks to the writer and producer for that. The costumes, make-up and other characters are also on point!! Thanks to each one you for making this beautiful and such a sweet drama. Please... Can I Have another Heo Nam-Jun and Lim Ji-Yeon as ML and FL after this? for 2027? in Mystery or Thriller drama? I miss them so much already!

Cheryl Jun 22 2026 7:25 am I may be one of the only few that was disappointed overall with the series, as I found the storyline to be a bit convoluted and confusing. The first 6 or 8 episodes I was really loving the storyline but after the couple started officially dating, there was too much push-pull in the relationship and it was frustrating to me. I felt the writers got stuck in that loop and then the rom com turned into a melo drama and I didn't like episodes 10 through 13 too much. The finale made up for some of my unhappiness because I did overall, enjoy the relationship between the main characters, Seo-ri and Se-gye, they had great chemistry. Heo Nam-jun's performance elevated this story so much because he did an incredible job bringing his character to life and brought a lot of intensity to the relationship. LIm Ji-yeon is also an amazing actor though I thought the writers could have done a better job with some of her scenes. I think it is interesting that Perfect Crown was given such a hard time for the "plot holes" and I have seen no such criticism for this series and the story of reincarnation had plenty of confusion to it and the last episode was one big rush to tie up all the loose ends. Anyhow, I thought the drama was a good watch but not as good as I had hoped it would be. No regrets and I would give it a 7.5 out of 10

Trish Jun 22 2026 7:00 am Thank you for giving a satisfying ending. The only thing I cam complain about is having 14 episodes only. There is a lot that have been cut but I am so impressed with the plot. I don't doubt the writer's talent I just crave more! I wish to see all the unreleased parts as well as the real danshim and grand prince blossoming romance. It has a lot of potential so pls pls make it happen! They actually deserve their own story line but if a full series is impossible, even just one episode will do. Namjun and Jiyeon's chemistry is insane especially their kissing scenes!

What I love about their kisses is they feel so natural & genuinely couple like. You can feel the love, sweetness, cuteness, & even the sexual tension without all the unnecessary moving around & bumping into things just to make the scene look intense.?

chel Jun 21 2026 9:03 pm My Rating for Royal Nemesis 10/10: The storyline is so good. Every episode is something you’ll really look forward to watching. The casting is a win. It’s like they gathered almost all the villains from K-dramas in one drama. Nam Jun and Ji Yeon’s chemistry is solid. You wouldn’t expect that two villains, or a protagonist and antagonist, would make you feel butterflies. They deserve to be nominated and win Best Couple. Even their BTS clips are already heart-fluttering and so natural. You’ll be even more drawn in when you watch those episodes. You won’t be traumatized by the ending, but you’ll cry, laugh, get annoyed, and feel all the emotions. You’ll get butterflies like crazy. It feels like you’re actually inside their drama world, that’s the effect it had on me.

Cyn Jun 21 2026 3:02 pm OMG? How can I forget their OST soundtrack, "Anyway" It's officially on my Spotify playlist now. Every time I hear it, I relive the emotions and beautiful moments from this masterpiece.

Cyn Jun 21 2026 1:04 pm 10/10 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This is my very first time commenting on a drama, and Royal Nemesis truly deserves it. Every actor delivered, including the supporting cast. The ML and FL embodied their characters so naturally that I completely forgot I was watching actors. Their chemistry is simply top-notch.

Special praise to the ML—he played the best CEO I've seen in Kdramas. His charisma, expressions, and emotional delivery were perfect. I honestly never expected to love him this much, but he absolutely owned this role.

And can we talk about the CEO and his assistant? Their interactions were so good! They deserve a Best Couple award, and the main couple deserves Best Romantic Couple as well.

Royal Nemesis is a masterpiece and easily one of the best dramas I've watched this year. Bravo to the entire cast and crew!

Zeus Jun 21 2026 12:11 pm 10/10!!! An amazing drama!!! Loved it straight from the beginning! Even though i could not stand the FL i still enjoyed the series to the fullest. I adore the ML Heo Nam Jun and, i love his acting, i love his looks, he is ?. The story / plot ?, the cast ?, chemistry ?

PANDORA Jun 21 2026 11:57 am 10/10 from start to finish. Every episode delivered, every character knew how to act, storyline was spotless. What a masterpiece, MRN you will never be topped I fear.

Ximena Jun 21 2026 10:49 am I just finished My Nemesis with Royal Airs and I loved it from beginning to end. The story was exciting, fun and very moving. I became very attached to Seo-ri and Se-gye, and their relationship kept me interested until the last episode.

I want to especially congratulate the actor who played Se-gye. His performance was incredible and he managed to transmit many emotions. I hope to see him in many more dramas as a protagonist because he has an impressive talent and charisma.

sarah Jun 21 2026 10:32 am One of the best K-dramas I've watched in 2026, with a perfect male lead and female lead! Thank you to the writer-nim and everyone who made this drama such a success ?.

Every episode kept me glued to my screen and excitedly waiting for the next one. I honestly don't know how I'm going to survive my weekends without this drama ????.

I still have a few questions about the story, though:

1. How did Kang Dan-shim become a concubine when she was originally just a palace maid? 2. Where was Kang Dan-shim when Shin Seo-ri returned to modern times? 3. Why did Shin Se-gye dream about the Prince and Seo-ri?

Overall, I would rate this drama 9.9/10! ?

Azlin Jun 21 2026 7:55 am What a beautiful journey. Every episode was filled with love, comfort, and warmth. Thank you, My Royal Nemesis, for these amazing 7 weeks and the memories that will stay with me forever. ✨

park bo wo Jun 21 2026 4:43 am eps 1-2 was damn good eps 3-14 is so awful

one if the worse drama in 2026

ADK Jun 16 2026 12:19 pm What has gone wrong? Will I be able to see Kang Dan Shim rewrite her history in the last 2 ep? So much for the villianess of Joseon. She disappeared. I wished this drama is 16 ep to allow time to explain the background story of how Kang Dan Shim transformed from a humble court lady to become a villian concubine in the first place.

cha Jun 16 2026 4:15 am OMG i really really love this drama ❤️❤️❤️ the storyline, the chemistry between the actors, the OST, the cinematography and also the plot twists making each episode worth the wait. been long time i haven’t watch ongoing k-drama. 2 more episodes to go all the best for our ShinSegye couple. I wish we’ll get the happy ending ??

Saw Myat Thandar Jun 15 2026 8:31 am As a fan from Myanmar, I would like to express my sincere appreciation to the entire team behind "My Royal Nemesis". This drama has been a wonderful experience from the first episode to the last. Every member of the production team deserves recognition for their hard work, dedication, and attention to detail.

What impressed me most was how carefully each scene was created. The directing, cinematography, editing, music, costumes, and set design all worked together beautifully to tell the story. It was clear that every department took its responsibilities seriously and gave its best effort. Even small details helped bring the characters and their emotions to life, making the drama more immersive and enjoyable for viewers.

The cast also delivered outstanding performances. Each actor and actress portrayed their characters naturally and convincingly, allowing the audience to connect with their journeys. The chemistry among the cast members felt genuine, and every scene reflected the effort and preparation that went into the production.

I would especially like to congratulate "Heo Nam-jun". As a Myanmar fan, I have followed his work with great interest, and I am delighted to see his growth and success through this drama. His performance was memorable, heartfelt, and full of emotion. He brought depth and sincerity to his character, demonstrating his talent and dedication as an actor. I hope this role will open even more opportunities for him in the future.

"My Royal Nemesis" is not just a drama; it is a project that showcases "the power of teamwork". The success of this series is the result of everyone working together toward a common goal.

Thank you to the writers, directors, actors, production staff, and everyone involved for creating such a meaningful and enjoyable drama.

Sending love and support from Myanmar. I wish the entire team continued success and look forward to seeing your future projects.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 10/10 Highly recommended!

Sua Jun 14 2026 10:29 am Best kdrama ever!!! If you want to replenish your life energy, this is the kdrama to watch. I dont think i have ever rewatched a kdrama, but this one OMG i can rewatch it 10 times and i dont think i will ever get bored of cha se gye and shin seo ri. Both actors play their roles so well, the kdrama is so well written, the romcom is so enjoyable. Everything is 10/10.

If your thinking of watching it, watch it! You wont regret anything. (Also the BTS of the acting is so cute!!! You can tell the leads really enjoyed their role and the chemistry was chemistrying!!)

Ellen Jun 14 2026 7:10 am Great quirky drama, gradually warmed to the leads and got used to Heo Nam Jun acting a ML instead of a villain or crazy guy. Ep 10 when he was running to Seo in hospital director took a scene out of CLOY when Captain Ri was running to Seri in the hospital after she woke up - straight copy so cute. Very funny and clever, full of tropes as a K drama should be. Live it

Un modeste admirateur Jun 13 2026 4:58 pm If perfection turned into drama, it would be «My Royal Nemesis». Absolutely flawless TV! I can't think of a single thing the production could've done better in the episodes I've seen so far. I would place it in the same league as the cult French movies «The Visitors», as they share a similar time-travelling theme. Congratulations to everyone involved in the making of this masterpiece! And particularly to writer Kang Hyun-Joo, because under the shell of comedy, the script manages to pack so many hidden perls, from history lessons to human values, and of course love.

Best Kdrama of 2026 Jun 13 2026 2:24 am One of the best rom-com kdrama of this year!! I'm Still Hoping For A Better Ending For The Two Leads.

CutieChimmy Jun 12 2026 10:34 am I super love the male lead and got hooked with him.. it made me watch some of his other series because he is that good. His acting and adlibs are very authentic and made the scene more realistic.

Trish Jun 09 2026 3:37 am Writer Kang Hyun-Joo-shi, Thank you so much for this masterpiece! We have four more episodes left and I trust that this will not go to waste and we'll get the happy ending we deserve!

Whatmyname Jun 09 2026 2:52 am Mo tae hee face is so annoying. I want to poke it.

Moon Cycle Jun 07 2026 12:31 pm I'm confused, why Mundo acts like piece of work from the first place. Am I missing some past events something? or he is simply demonic, Just like a group of people nowadays

Mermer Jun 07 2026 4:53 am Interesting to see if Shin Seo-Ri will change (her own) history if she does go back to her former Joseon self after the accident. Hopefully we also find out why the prince had to wear the half mask.

Also, I'm predicting that Seo-Ri's manager/neighbour Baek Gwang-Nam is a reincarnation of the white puppy that Kang Dan-Sim rescued with the prince but was killed by the king (and "Baek" means "white" in Korean).

MoreLoserInLove Jun 07 2026 2:45 am This drama made me laugh so hard. It has everything you wish for in a romcom. I definitely love the loser Cha Se-Gye. They should make more drama where the ML is a loser so in love with the FL. We need more men yearning in dramas since men in real life are not doing it anymore.

Nemesis Jun 07 2026 12:32 am I believe so

In that way, the history would be changed and set right. When Shin Seo Ri is back, the museum will display the correct history, including the painting that had originally drawn by Kang Dan Sim.

Dhaniek Jun 06 2026 10:46 pm Extremely Perfect KDrama Ever. Watching this drama likes roller coaster. Love this Drama from eps.1

Just finish watching eps.10.

Trio Cha Se Gye + Shin Seo Ri + Assistant Son, are Perfect cast caracter. They have high level acting.

Salute to Director or someone who made this happen.

Heo Nam Jum surprise me with his character. His smile, angry, serious, Embarrassed, in love body language. All perfect by Him. 10000000000000000000% Perfect by him

Assistant Son chemistry with Cha Se Gye is no debate. They are fantastic.

Best Trio Actor and Actress

Congratulations for them and all team. You all great team

Cheers From BALI

Marrie Jun 06 2026 8:10 pm Oh Em Geee, just finished watching episode 10 (ep 11 preview) and Debaaak! first off all, I've been literary high-fiving ghost in my room every time Cha Se-Gye does something wholesome, or just simply exists throughout the whole series because his facial expressions and his actions are killing me!

And then on a little spoiler and my prediction side: I am guessing in episode 11, after the accident she's in coma and falls back into the past where she'll probably try to either find the Grand Prince or do something to overthrow that tyranny king, before she wakes up from coma in the present time. Or maybe her waking up in the past would be before her 'death' (before they gave her poison) so that way she knows what's coming and puts the plan in motion so the events we saw in the beginning does happen before she's awake again...Ughhh anyway. I can't wait until next week

Runi Jun 06 2026 5:10 pm Still on going, don't know the ending yet so I have nothing to say about that. Overall casts have good acting even to the extra who say 1 or 2 lines. Cinematography is just okay. The plot is interesting and they don't make the whole thing about the past which is really bearable to watch. Main lead have chemistry so if there's anyone who wanna bite their blanket while watching this will be the one. It's better to watch it when the on going is finished because the anticipation will make you wanna drop the drama because right now there are a lot of new ones too. A really enjoyable rom com overall 8/10 for now. Oh and they have Crazy fan service.

Ma Ri Jun 06 2026 1:32 pm Please give us a happy ending! And more male leads for Heo Nam Jun!!!

sari Jun 05 2026 11:55 am I'm kinda sad that I'm not that excited about this drama anymore, it was still good, currently at episode 9, but my interest slowly declined, I just can't pinpoint why. Maybe coz of the hype, like everyone saying it's so great, I mean it's good, I guess I should've consumed less fan related and behind the scene content. I guess I'm also nitpicking the past plot, I've read theories that it could still be Seo Ri and she just remembered her past life as Dan Sin, just as how Se Gye's having dreams from the past, but still, like it wasn't Seo Ri that's he's in love with. they do have chemistry but I'm not convinced by how their love story is written, especially Seo ri's. I feel like she's more in love with the past, and is just trying to cease the life she's living now, and that's understandable, the past is her life. unlike se gye who's really in love with her. see, if I was really into the drama, like I was from the start, I wouldn't be nitpicking plot holes or just anything about it coz I'd just accept and enjoy the story. Anyways, I just want to rant here. I'm still going to watch it though hopefully it won't get worse (in my perspective of course not specifically the drama itself). Wonder how will they end it, is it reincarnation, she's seori after all or will she go back in the past at the end and of course seori's personality isn't the same, so will se gye fall for seo ri regardless.

Heidy Jun 04 2026 3:48 am Greetings from Indonesia.. I love this Drama ❤️

Noy Jun 03 2026 1:38 pm this show has been my favorite k-drama of 2026 so far omg im gonna miss every single thing about this drama ?

Noona Jun 01 2026 4:44 pm The male lead character is getting on my nerves. He’s so arrogant and acts all high and mighty and untouchable yet he misses every scheme his cousin sets for him. What’s the point of constantly acting you have everything in hand when you have nothing in hand? It makes enjoying this drama a little hard. He’s unlikable. the plot is also very predictable. No surprises. I’m kinda bored.

OK Jun 01 2026 1:27 am To me, there's only one lead, Seo-Ri, with many supporting characters who make her role even more significant. Maybe Se-Gye will step up mid way to take control of the plot and counter his cousin's schemes and reverse Dan Sim's fate now and in the past.

Kiyowo May 31 2026 8:12 pm Please tell me the song in the last scene of episode 8

exe May 31 2026 12:09 pm What a good drama, really good, I think this is one of the best romcom I've watched after Business Proposal and Mr Queen (minus the ending). Chemistries are so good, not only between Lim Jiyeon and Heo Namjun, but also both of them to all of the supporting characters. Comedy are so fresh, they used some of well known romance trope and creativily twisting it into some fresh directions. Everyone r so good at acting, so smooth, nobody feels forced. And oh man, Jang Seung Jo is amazing, I wish Mundo have more screen time and doing more sick deeds that he is already. I live his acting.

On twt ive seen people calling Heo Namjun as ugly ML but he is so heartbreaking ??? Ive been so crazy about Cha Segye he is so good.

Willcary8@gmail.com May 31 2026 11:55 am Love this production and the two leads!!! Great work!

Poop diddy scoop May 31 2026 11:10 am Why he hold his laugh like that

Roha okane May 31 2026 8:15 am What i like about ML & FL is they are good in acting, the dictation and their facial expressions.

Also, it is very rare to find a ML that looking so manly and masculine. Most of Kdrama ML so muka jambu.

XieXie May 29 2026 7:38 pm Lim Jiyeon becoming her characters every time she acts is so !nsane to me. Thats why I can’t recall her characters from The Glory and The Tale of Lady Ok. The best actress in her generation.

TLT BRCA May 27 2026 3:36 pm This is, by far, one of the most entertaining kdramas I’ve watched in a good while! I am really looking foward to the weekends so I can forget about everything and just have fun for 2 hours. The cast is superb! Lim Ji-yeon and Heo Nam-jun are doing an amazing job! I was laughing out loud in the scene where they met, iconic!

Mingyu May 26 2026 10:56 am Great drama, casting, ost and story! The female and male lead has best chemistry and amazing acting, for sure this kdrama will be awarded many recognitions and awards in acting soon!

Kelly May 25 2026 12:08 pm Lim Ji-Yeon looks so beautiful in this drama, are expressions are so cute

Kelly May 25 2026 12:02 pm I'm having a great time watching this drama it's so fun. Everyone is doing great. The male lead is effortlessly funny. I remembered him in the Kdrama "Snow Drop" as the restless student, who couldn't be calm; he was so funny he made me laugh so hard that I couldn't stop laughing... I replayed his scene over and over again.

This drama is exactly what I need right now...relief

Tulip0014 May 24 2026 11:39 pm Im on my 30s and I don’t want kdrama that has stressful storyline anymore. This drama is chill and funny. I love seeing Lim Ji Yeon on this drama since she’s so annoying in The Glory. The ML, he’s getting criticism right now bcoz maybe his not handsome like Songkang, Cha Eun Woo and others ML but he’s so d*mn hot in here. He’s acting and charisma makes him so attractive. So inlove in this drama. Can’t wait the remaining episodes.

Jan R May 24 2026 9:13 pm Wait both male leads are from Snowdrop??? Ok, say less, i will definitely watch this!

NeilWH May 24 2026 5:14 am Just what the doctor order !

LEE May 23 2026 11:51 pm Im gonna say i was skeptic at first but im gonna say This Drama Is a Breath Of Fresh Air. Fast paced, funny, unpredictable and the banter uhgh.. i love it. caught myself laughing out loud with a lot of scenes. it was hilarious and at the same time i caught myself giggling. their chemisty was Off The Charts. looking forward for fri-sat because of this! ugh

Karl May 23 2026 8:38 pm Overall I like this drama very much: There are a lot of funny situations and dialogues, the cast is brilliant and Lim Ji-Yeon is just wonderful! I would like it even more, if Kang Dan-Sim sometimes acted a bit smarter, cleverer and show that she is a strong woman with emotion and intelligence and suprise us with her knowledge and thoughts dating back to the Joseon era as well as all the new things she has impressingly quickly learned about the present world. This fit better to her role-personality and provide the viewer with even more fun and excitement!

Koko May 23 2026 8:24 pm Battling depression but this kdrama makes me happy. Cant wait to see the next episode

Sanji May 23 2026 7:10 pm Well, this kdrama is getting better. It’s hilarious at its best. I am really loving the ML and FL. Plus the sound track is amazing too.

Best Kdrama of 2026 May 23 2026 11:10 am Daebak!! This drama is one of the best of this year and that OST from Gwyn Dorado. I'm so obsessed to it and has been listening to it on repeat already. I'm so excited for more episode and I can't wait to watch this drama get all the awards it deserves!

Astrid May 22 2026 12:26 am Loveeee it!

Loveme May 20 2026 9:57 am Love the cast... already know the plot but still very interesting

Opeyemi May 18 2026 4:28 am I totally love this fresh and exciting series. Seeing that the main actors have been given a chance to be the main after several side characters in other movies. But they still brought this series to life with a unique story. Love from Nigeria ????

Imnida May 17 2026 5:45 am Hope it gets a high ratingssss jebaaaaalll, this really deserve all the love, support and high ratingssss

Lee je ah May 16 2026 8:48 pm So fun to watch Loving both ML and FL good acting so amusing Looking forward Hoping for the next season to show us even how the before FL was loving i mean a recall or something Other than that all casting is doing good

Looking Forward!!!

dee May 16 2026 7:49 am Soooo, who's the king??? This kdrama is so interesting that I have watched even if this is still ongoing!

Alsoud Hajihil May 15 2026 11:25 pm The aide of the Male lead does nothing and still be funny. Also the grandmother scene is just wholesome and sad considering the woman who owned the body died during set is just heartbreaking. She never got to see her grandma one last time. ToT

Djbianca May 14 2026 6:57 am Its still the first episode im watching and im already rolling laughing to death.

A MUST WATCH!! May 13 2026 11:56 am I can't stress it it enough. I laughed so much. Especially after she binged watch.

Mia May 13 2026 10:24 am Low ratings but no1 in ott and netflix, guessing this attracted more gen z on their smartphones. Still one of the fresh & fast paced drama I enjoyed so far, Lim Jiyeon is really a good actress.

Hallyu wave is real May 12 2026 1:54 pm This drama is fantastic and the plot is amazing…I am hooked by the performances of both male lead and female lead. They are amazing in their own way. Perfect cast, perfect story, no boring moment at all…what more to ask..perfect drama to watch on Friday and Saturday. Loving it so much. Seriously good start.

Ma Ri May 12 2026 11:25 am Why such low ratings? The story's good so far. And I'm so happy that Heo Nam Jun is finally a male lead!!! He acts really well in all the series and movies he's been in. Please, universe, let this series get a double-digit rating! And more male lead roles for Heo Nam Jun!

Manu May 10 2026 8:44 pm Kang Dan-Sim's story reminds of Jang Ok-Jung's story, one of my favorites. 2 episodes and I'm already convinced this is one of the best dramas of the year. Two amazing actors, great chemistry, interesting plot, villains who are not the real villains. I love it!

Hanidah Ashari May 10 2026 11:10 am Major love for this drama. Lead actor and actress are fabulous. Cant wait for rest of series. Watched Nam-jun in When the Phone Rings n hooked. The actress looks like the lead actress in Mystic Pop up Bar. Just rewatched this drama too.

Boom May 10 2026 7:10 am Great first 2 episodes! Rooting for this drama!!

T May 10 2026 6:55 am Reminds me of The Story Of Park's Marriage Contract which I loved!

Chloe May 10 2026 4:48 am This is so fun, I just can't. Lim Ji-Yeon is such a gem! I hope the rest of the story will be also at the same level.

Joseon May 09 2026 2:22 pm Ok this is very promising…loving the first two episodes hope it continues till the end.

Troutsicle May 08 2026 9:37 pm Ji Yeon is such a gem. What an amazing first episode.

Brian V May 08 2026 2:28 pm This title just popped up on my Netflix feed. I don't generally watch KDrama's based on the Joseon era but this looks kinda funny. I'm sure it will have a bunch of the situations where someone from the past is put in a situation where they have to experience something the audience has grown up with. I just hope they put a fresh perspective on those moments. The female leads seems to have a funny cuteness to her, from the trailer anyway. I got a Han Ji-Min, who is my favourite actress, vibe from her, from when she was in Behind Your Touch. I'll definitely put this on my list of shows to watch.

Diana769 May 08 2026 12:53 pm I just watch episode 1..Wow,I really like this story ??? Can't wait for episode 2 ?

Cha Apr 22 2026 2:17 am im so seated for this diva

Josephine Feb 11 2026 11:58 am I really need this to air quickly like right now.. Lim Jiyeon save me

Jew Jan 01 2026 7:57 am Wow! I'm looking forward to it!?

Joy Dec 31 2025 3:37 pm Giving queen and I vibes

Lea Oct 25 2025 6:51 am Lim Jiyeon?? Say no more Im Seated

Keko Oct 19 2025 11:54 pm Horee can see Lim Ji Yeon after the Tale of lady Ok .. aahh 2 favorite actress & actor ( a hundred memories ). Yaayyy cant hardly wait

Jillibean Oct 19 2025 2:14 am Hope it's good! I fell in love with the leading man in A Hundred Memories! :)
