A playful new poster has been unveiled for tvN's upcoming drama “My Dearest Nemesis,” setting the stage for a love story that transcends time and virtual worlds!

This engaging series, inspired by a beloved webtoon, chronicles the romantic journey of two individuals whose paths first crossed in the digital universe as their gaming avatars during their school years. Fast forward 16 years, and fate reunites them in a real-world scenario — as a boss and her employee.

Mun Ka Young portrays Baek Su Jeong, an ambitious and capable team leader in the strategic planning division at the prestigious Yongseong Department Store. With a fierce spirit and the tenacity to stand up for herself, Baek Su Jeong often finds herself clashing with her superior, Ban Ju Yeon. Their connection traces back to an online gaming encounter that gifted her with an unforgettable — and somewhat embarrassing — memory she can’t shake off.

Choi Hyun Wook takes on the role of Ban Ju Yeon, a privileged chaebol heir and the director of the same planning division. As a perfectionist, he juggles the pressures of living up to family expectations while concealing his secret gaming persona, “Black Dragon,” a big part of his identity that he feels must remain hidden to earn respect as an heir.

The recently released poster features the dynamic duo holding figurines of their gaming characters, signifying that despite their years apart, their thoughts remain entwined. The speech bubbles below their figurines reveal that both are haunted by memories of each other, adding a layer of nostalgia to their budding romance.

The tagline on the poster tantalizingly hints at their shared past, stating: “A new romance has arrived that will erase this wretched first love?!” This sets high expectations for viewers eager to see how their story unfolds.

“My Dearest Nemesis” is set to premiere on February 17 at 8:50 p.m. KST, promising to blend humor, drama, and nostalgia into an enthralling narrative of love rekindled. Are you ready to witness how these former foes turn into lovers? Stay tuned for what could be the romantic event of the season!
