From encounter to affection

Content of My Dearest Nemesis episode 2

Episode 2 opens with Ju-yeon changing in his office. He is upset when he realizes that Su-jeong is the "killer CEO" and the victim of the hit-and-run accident. When she suddenly barges in, he stops her from screaming in shock. The atmosphere becomes awkward as Ju-yeon insists that she forget everything and kicks her out. He gives her a "warning" and decides to keep an eye on her.

Ju-yeon has a sweet tooth, but to maintain his image, he goes to the square to buy a chocolate latte. Su-jeong appears and tries to buy him one, but he quickly runs away. He then collides with a boy who is fighting over a limited edition toy. Su-jeong runs into him again, and Ju-yeon reluctantly gives up the toy to the boy.

Ju-yeon decides to fire Su-jeong because she knows too many of his secrets. However, Chief Kwon reminds her that he cannot fire her, so Ju-yeon decides to make her life so miserable that she quits. At the next meeting, he repeatedly attacks Su-jeong, but she easily deals with it. Her coworkers scold her for not knowing how to "bow" and call her a "dog" for working too hard. Su-jeong refuses to back down, but she is tired of the taunts from Ju-yeon and her coworkers.

Ju-yeon asks Shin-won to approach Su-jeong's group to find dirty information about her. However, Shin-won is dating a possessive girl who doesn't like him even smiling at other people. While looking for a new restaurant, Shin-won accidentally discovers Ultimate Pro's restaurant on Instagram and finds her captions interesting.

Ju-yeon shows up at the group party and has a drinking contest with Su-jeong. Kwon assumes they're okay, and everyone leaves with her. Su-jeong thinks Ju-yeon hates her for working so hard, but he actually admires her work ethic, despite thinking she's a "time bomb." Ju-yeon gets drunk and demands chocolate milk. Su-jeong happily buys him a drink and takes him home in a taxi.

The next day, Ju-yeon is embarrassed after losing to Su-jeong. His grandmother checks in on him and warns him not to disappoint her. A flashback shows that the only time he disappointed her, she burned something of his. Kwon reassures Ju-yeon that he will soon win her approval.

At the company, the group gossips about Su-jeong beating Ju-yeon. He is angry about his ruined public image and takes it out on her. This is Su-jeong's limit, and they get into a big argument. Ju-yeon threatens to fire her, but Kwon warns him to stop or he will be reported. Meanwhile, co-worker Yang reveals rumors that Ju-yeon is the heir to the company.

Ju-yeon checks on Shin-won's progress, but all he learns is that Su-jeong is a hard worker. Likewise, Su-jeong decides to dig up dirt so that Ju-yeon can't fire her. She follows him after work and finds him at the Rock Man Studio club. She is surprised to see him happy and more "human." However, she takes a picture and sends it to him. Ju-yeon immediately shows up at her house, panicked and sweating.

Su-jeong's father thinks they're dating, but Ju-yeon offers her a contract: he'll guarantee her the job if she deletes the photos and does whatever he asks. Su-jeong happily signs, but wonders why he hates her name when she signs. She doesn't care and brags about her safety at the office. However, the joy is short-lived when Ju-yeon keeps calling her and asking her to come with him all the time.

Things escalate to the point where Ju-yeon takes Su-jeong shopping. She is surprised by the outfit he ends up choosing and decides to wear it to the event tonight. He also rents a dress for her and constantly reminds her that he doesn't trust her.

Meanwhile, Shin-won goes to Ultimate Pro's restaurant and is almost hit by a biker. Ultimate Pro saves him, and Shin-won is amazed by her strength. His girlfriend sees him and the date becomes tense. She decides to break up with him because she thinks Shin-won is too friendly with others. Ultimate Pro just calmly says, "Only liars are liars."

Back to the main couple, Ju-yeon and Su-jeong attend a party for chaebol families. Ju-yeon finds a group of bullies mocking him for being too strict and having a cruel grandmother. They wonder if he has a girlfriend.

Meanwhile, Su-jeong goes out to get some food and is mistaken for a prostitute by a chaebol. He gets angry when she refuses and tries to slap her, but Ju-yeon shows up just in time, pushes him into the pool, and grabs Su-jeong's hand. At the end of episode 2, Ju-yeon calls her "babe," leaving things surprisingly promising.

Review My Dearest Nemesis episode 2

Episode 2 continues to portray the "arch-enemy" relationship between the main couple Su-jeong and Ju-yeon. However, the drama continues to surprise the audience with its rapid pace of development and constant transition from one situation to another. It is clear that the two have begun to soften towards each other, and soon they will realize that they really like each other.

The humor and animation are still strong, although viewers may miss the video game-style storytelling from the previous episode. Ju-yeon is a "fake tsundere" - cold on the outside but easily "crumbles" when alone. Meanwhile, Su-jeong is strong and determined, but that's because life hasn't been easy for her.

Im Se-mi's Ultimate Pro character is still very much like her True Beauty character, but will her line about "liars" reveal some tragic past? Shin-won hasn't really made a strong impression yet, but with his friendly and approachable personality, he definitely has the potential to shine in the upcoming episodes.

Episode 2 of My Dearest Nemesis not only brings humorous situations, but also sows the seeds for the development of feelings between the two main characters, promising interesting surprises and emotions in the upcoming journey!
