Before stepping inside Episode 2, let’s have a quick recap of My Royal Nemesis Episode 1. The premiere episode ended with 'Shin Seo-ri' and 'Cha Se-gye's' encounter. 'Dan-shim's' soul, which is now inside the body of 'Shin Seo-ri', strikes a deal with hot-tempered businessman, 'Cha Se-gye'. But he rejects her offer. However, just as 'Cha Se-gye' was about to leave and step into his car, a sudden solar eclipse appeared in the sky.
A similar incident occurred in the Joseon era when 'Dan-shim' was sentenced to death by her political rivals. Sensing the looming danger, 'Shin Seo-ri' becomes convinced that an assassin is after 'Cha Se-gye.' In a shocking turn of events, 'Shin Seo-ri' forcibly drags the ruthless businessman away from his car. Within the next few seconds, a dummy dressed in a protester’s uniform crashes down from a building straight onto 'Cha Se-gye's' car. This leaves the hot-tempered business tycoon shocked.
The story of My Royal Nemesis episode 2 will unfold the chaotic equation between 'Shin Seo-ri' and 'Cha Se-gye.' After saving 'Cha Se-gye', 'Shin Seo-ri' tries hard to convince the hot-tempered businessman about her deal. But being a calculative and profit-driven businessman, 'Cha Se-gye' is adamant not to fully trust her. Meanwhile, 'Dan-shim', whose soul is now inside 'Shin Seo-ri's' body, struggles to fit in the modern world. She is trying to adapt to modern technology, unfamiliar customs, and everyday life outside the Joseon era.
'Dan-shim's' soul, who is now inside 'Shin Seo-ri', meets 'Choi Moon-do' (played by Jang Seung-ju). This encounter brings a major twist to the story of My Royal Nemesis. After 'Shin Seo-ri's' encounter with 'Choi Moon-do', slowly 'Dan-shim' begins to recall fragments from her past life during the Joseon era. In a shocking turn of events, 'Dan-shim' realises that 'Choi Moon-do' was the ruthless king behind her sentence to death.
In the climax of My Royal Nemesis Episode 2, the audience finally gets to know the secret link between 'Dan-shim' and 'Cha Se-gye'. Initially, the premiere episode unveiled that 'Dan-shim's' soul inside 'Shin Seo-ri's' body meets 'Cha Se-gye' for the first time in the 21st century. But it’s not the truth. Just before the final scene, to everyone’s shock, the hot-tempered businessman, who is very much calculative and profit-driven, comes to 'Shin Seo-ri' with a deal this time.
The deal hinted that their fates are just intertwined. The final scene of My Royal Nemesis Episode 2 has left the audience emotional.
