Lim Ji Yeon is a Joseon era villain set in 21st century Korea in new drama "My Royal Nemesis"

Upcoming SBS drama “My Royal Nemesis” has 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 Kang Dan Shim, 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 newly released photos, Lim Ji Yeon is seen wide-eyed at the astonishing new world unfolding before her. In particular, faced with a landscape she has never encountered in her life – and the unfamiliar experience of a court maid grabbing her face – she wears a confused expression. The infamous villain’s side is nowhere to be found, prompting curiosity as to what on earth caused her eventual downfall in the mid-21st century.

In another silence below, Lim Ji Yeon wears her trademark wild-eyed grit, after retrieving the villain’s poison. Her cold aura, which no one can easily approach, exudes the brave, domineering spirit befitting the villain who once ruled Joseon.

Attention is now on where her dangerous yet entertaining “new world” adaptation story will lead – whether Lim Ji Yeon’s character, the infamous Joseon villain, can survive in 21st century South Korea.
