You can take the girl out of Josean but not Josean out of the girl
A show has done its job when it leaves you feeling warm and fuzzy on the inside, and you spend the days after its completion, replaying scenes and listening to the OSTs on repeat, just so you don't lose that feeling. You try to watch a scene from an episode and end up watching the whole episode because it is just too good.
The ending left me wanting more but I was also satisfied with what I had been given. I will miss Cha Se Gye and Shin Seo Ri. I loved how they kept saying each other's full names till the end. The OST as they walked on the beach while they continued to bask in their love, was perfection💋.
The show has everything- lots of romance and a couple that goes on actual dates in almost every episode after they accept their feelings for each other. They also do ordinary couple things like lying in bed while watching TV, and walking hand-in-hand on the beach. Se Gye fell really hard and early, and only after just a handful of antagonistic encounters with his 'nemesis'- but theirs was a love that was 300 years in the making, so falling was inevitable. And after rejecting him a few times, she fell too. They healed each other and became each other's world. So much so that Se Gye wanted to stop being so villainous and be good, but his lady love was not having any of that😂🤗. She believes in 'an eye for an eye' and in exacting karmic justice, herself, Josean style, and not 21st century-style😂.
The show also has lots of comedy, action, jealousy, angst, grief, a main villain, frenemies, time travel, fantasy, two crazy aunts, loving grandparents, a loyal executive assistant, a cute dog, and a prince who reclaimed his present day throne, with his beloved by his side.
Truly an enjoyable watch. It seems like once a year, there is at least one show that is so wholesome and heartwarming that it makes me feel giddy. In 2022, it was Crazy Love; in 2023, it was Crash Course in Romance and Perfect Marriage Revenge; in 2024, it was My Sweet Mobster; and in 2025, it was Bon Appetit, Your Majesty. This year, it's My Royal Nemesis and it has certainly raised the bar.
Well done to the writer, director, and the cast who brought the writer's vision to life.
Thank you so much for making my heart skip a beat💓 .
