tvN's new K-drama My Dearest Nemesis took the Monday blues of fans away with a kiss that was as surprising as it was shocking between the lead pair played by Moon Ga Young and Choi Hyun Wook. Although they are yet to admit their feelings for each other, despite sparks flying high since their first meeting, skinship halfway through the series is an unsaid rule that almost all K-dramas seem to follow.
While fans of Choi Hyun Wook are rejoiced to finally see him embracing the typical K-drama male lead persona, he has met with an unexpected rival: Cha Eun Woo fans.
The official Instagram account of tvN recently dropped a clip of My Dearest Nemesis featuring a drunk kiss scene in episode 5 between Moon Ga Young and Choi Hyun Wook's characters Baek Soo Jung and Ban Ju Yeon. However, what was surprising was that the comments section was filled with mentions of Cha Eun Woo.
For those who may not be aware, Moon Ga Young and Cha Eun Woo starred together in the 2020 K-drama?True Beauty, which broke several viewership records. The undeniable chemistry between the leads sparked dating rumors at the time. Even five years on, fans have still not forgotten the iconic pairing of Lee Su Ho and Lim Joo Kyung.
In the comments section, fans had a blast reacting to the kiss scene. One fan jokingly wrote, "Cha Eun Woo got depressed." Others posted hilarious GIFs of the actor from his various dramas, using his expressions to convey their own reactions to the scene.
Episode 5 of tvN's?My Dearest Nemesis?has achieved a remarkable milestone, garnering an average nationwide viewership rating of 4.9 percent, according to?Nielsen Korea. This represents a significant 0.8 percent increase from the previous episode's rating of 4.1 percent, solidifying the drama's new personal best score.
In his teens, Ban Joo Yeon (Choi Hyun Wook) first met Baek Soo Jung (Moon Ga Young) through a game. While Joo Yeon used the pseudonym Black Dragon, Soo Jung played under the name Strawberry. As they played, the two unexpectedly bonded over their shared trauma. However, their romance was short-lived, as she rejected him after discovering he lied about his age.
16 years later, Ban Joo Yeon is now all grown up and crosses paths with Baek Soo Jung as the director of her company. Unaware of their entangled past, the two become involved in a workplace romance. But what happens when they finally recognize each other? Will their romance continue to blossom, or will it mark the end of their story? The answer lies in the upcoming episodes.
