Lim Ji Yeon Faces Execution by Poison in New Drama "My Royal Nemesis"

Upcoming SBS drama “My Royal Nemesis” has revealed new photos from Lim Ji Yeon in character!

“My Royal Nemesis” is a romantic comedy starring Lim Ji Yeon as Shin Seo Ri, a struggling actress who is suddenly possessed by the spirit of a notorious villain from the Joseon era. Heo Nam Jun will star as Cha Se Gye, a ruthless Chaebol heir known as a “monster created by capitalism.”

In the drama, Lim Ji Yeon also plays Joseon villain Kang Dan Shim. Kang Dan Shim is a character who spits when mocked and hits back when slandered. Born of humble origins, she rises to the rank of Royal Concubine, becoming one of Joseon’s most notorious villains.

The images show Dan Shim receiving poison. She emerges from the palace with a calm expression and reacts with shock and anger at the sight of the poison. Then Shim knelt on the floor and glared fiercely before shedding a single tear of anguish.

She vents her anger by hitting the bowl of poison, showing strength that four palace girls cannot easily overcome.

Her desperate struggle in these final moments teases the character of Kang Dan Shim, who had to fully summon her deadly intent to survive, as she builds anticipation for the chaos she will cause after awakening in the body of Shin Seo Ri.
