Plot:

‘My Royal Nemesis’ tells the story of Kang Dan-Sim (Im Ji-Yeon), a notorious and cunning royal concubine from the Joseon era who is sentenced to death by poison. However, instead of passing into the afterlife, her soul transmigrates to the year 2026, possessing the body of Shin Seo-Ri, a struggling and nameless actress currently filming a historical drama.

Chaos ensues when this villainess from the past brings her sharp wit and manipulative tactics to modern-day Seoul. She soon encounters Cha Se-Gye (Heo Nam-Jun), a ruthless third-generation chaebol heir who is used to getting his way. As the two clash, an unlikely and fiery love-hate relationship develops. Will this Joseon-era femme fatale be able to rewrite her tragic fate in the 21st century?
