SBS Unveils New Look at My Royal Nemesis Ahead of May 8 Premiere

Fresh visuals signal a chemistry-first launch built on a villain-versus-villain romance.

Overview

  • A new main poster places Lim Ji-yeon and Heo Nam-joon side by side like figures stepping out of a Korean embroidery, contrasting her Joseon court dress with his modern suit.
  • Recently released stills show a cold standoff and a scene where Lim Ji-yeon’s character is dragged away after a confrontation, setting a sharp enemies-to-lovers tone.
  • The story follows a struggling actress who becomes possessed by a notorious Joseon-era villainess, creating a timeslip setup that drives both comedy and conflict.
  • Heo Nam-joon plays a chaebol heir branded a “monster created by capitalism,” with scenes of public protest signaling the show’s class friction thread.
  • SBS schedules the series for May 8 at 9:50 p.m. KST in the Friday–Saturday slot, with 14 episodes reported and PD Han Tae-seob and writer Kang Hyun-joo leading the creative team.
