A highly-anticipated Korean drama is getting tongues wagging online as leaked snapshots showing the lead actors in a passionate kiss set the stage for its upcoming premiere. 'My Dearest Nemesis' by tvN, airing on Mondays and Tuesdays, is the sequel to the hit drama 'The Queen Who Crowns' and is based on the immensely popular Naver webtoon of the same title by writer Yang Hye Jin.

The plot revolves around the tumultuous romance between Baek Soo Jeong (played by Moon Ga Young), the formidable leader of the "Department Head Killer" haunted by a dark past, and Ban Ju Yeon (played by Choi Hyun Wook), a third-generation chaebol with a hidden dark side. The star-studded cast features Moon Ga Young, Choi Hyun Wook, Lim Se Mi, and Kwak Si Yang.

Fans are particularly excited about the on-screen chemistry between Moon Ga Young and Lim Se Mi, who previously wowed audiences with their portrayal of sisters in the 2020 drama 'True Beauty.' Their new roles as friends in this romantic comedy promise to deliver a fresh dynamic.

The drama takes a departure from the original webtoon, shifting the setting from a boarding house to an office environment, setting the stage for riveting workplace drama. New storylines and interactions between the characters in this new milieu are sure to keep viewers intrigued.

The buzz surrounding 'My Dearest Nemesis' intensified in January when leaked photos of Moon Ga Young and Choi Hyun Wook in a passionate embrace surfaced online. While some speculated it was a planned promotional stunt, the production team clarified that the leak was accidental, fueling anticipation for the on-screen chemistry between the leads.

A recently released highlight video on February 11 teases an intense storyline where past resentment fuels the unexpected connection between the main characters, further piquing the audience's curiosity. Viewers can catch the premiere of 'My Dearest Nemesis' on February 17 at 8:50 PM, promising a blend of romance, intrigue, and unexpected twists.
