My Royal Nemesis (멋진 신세계)

MY ROYAL NEMESIS

Grand Prince Cheongheon is hereby confined to his quarters.

Who goes there?

I have brought you porridge.

Please eat before it gets cold.

It is you.

Have you no fear coming here?

If anyone sees you…

I cannot discern where falsehood ends and truth begins.

The uncertainty leaves me helpless with dread.

Please enlighten me.

What is the truth?

How could one be so naive?

This is why you so easily fall prey to exploitative men.

Pardon?

Do nothing.

Find your path to survive,

just as you did at the royal interrogation.

This is…

My final command to you.

Kang Dan-sim.

Never…

Set foot in this place again.

Who…

Are you really?

Dan-sim of the Kang clan.

What did you just…

Who are you?

What sort of question is that?

Have you been day-drinking?

Raving in broad daylight.

A woman keeps appearing in my dreams.

A court lady

with no friends or family.

At first, I thought it was just a dream.

But it's strange.

Because I feel like

that woman might be you.

Have I lost my mind?

At least you know it sounds crazy.

You're mistaking nonsense dreams for reality.

- A nonsense dream? - Yes, a nonsense dream.

Showing up dressed like that, rambling about dreams?

You have most certainly lost your mind.

I shall go on ahead. Come back when you are decent.

EPISODE 9 THAT'S FIRST LOVE FOR YOU

- How should we proceed? - Follow him.

Who…

Are you really?

A woman keeps appearing in my dreams.

A court lady…

With no friends or family.

A dream?

Mr. Cha, this launch is a huge success.

If I'd known you'd hit a home run like this,

I would've invested early on.

I couldn't agree more.

At this rate, you could even break into the US market

and dominate the whole industry.

No need to be intimidated already.

I'll be sure to leave some scraps.

At least you know it sounds crazy.

You're mistaking nonsense dreams for reality.

- Hello. Hi there. - Hello.

Can I ask

why you have been trailing me like a shadow since we arrived?

Well?

You should be working the room.

Do what you can to land yourself another ad.

Not really my jurisdiction.

Your jurisdiction?

Why would I hawk my face like some peddler

if I have an agency?

What do I pay you for?

You can forget about making easy money.

That brat always has to have the last word.

- Shin Seo-ri. - Gosh!

I've been looking everywhere for you.

Are you doing okay?

Don't worry about it.

Just a nonsense dream, remember?

It left me feeling incredibly unsettled.

Choi Mun-do just had to show up too.

He was like a budding tyrant in my dream.

I guess dreams really are an extension of consciousness.

Maybe it was not just a dream?

Could he really be seeing the past?

Here you are, Se-gye.

Does it just go in one ear and out the other with you?

I clearly told you to go through my office until the engagement...

What if someone hears you?

You're right.

I wasn't thinking. I'll be more careful.

You can't be serious, Se-gye.

In public, I'm still your...

Yes, you are his fiancée. That you are.

My ears are about to bleed.

Cha Se-gye, I will allow it. Go hold hands and take a lap.

Even dying wishes are honored. She is not asking for much.

Go on. Grant her her last wish.

Who are you to give him permission?

You are seriously so exhausting.

Goodness, you're all already here.

Grandfather, what brings you here?

This is my grandson's brand launch. Why wouldn't I be here?

Welcome, Grandfather.

If you had told me beforehand,

I would have escorted you.

Tae-hee, are you already playing the wife?

My Se-gye

is so blessed when it comes to women.

He certainly is.

Grandfather, I need to introduce you to someone.

The official face of Dynaestie and the key

to our sold-out success. Ms. Shin Seo-ri.

Shin… Shin Seo-ri?

Nice to meet you,

Grandpapa!

What the…

Hey, stop it.

Just stop.

- He's not your grandpapa yet. - He isn't?

Just call him Chairman.

Right.

You also badgered me to call you "Mr. Cha" at the beginning.

I guess being sensitive about titles like a boomer

is a family trait?

She's a funny one.

So, the model treats the CEO like her buddy now?

No, it's not like that.

It's like…

You see, she's filming a historical drama right now.

She's very absorbed in her role.

Method acting, you see.

Chairman Jung is here, sir.

- Over there. - Chairman Jung. Shall we…

- Chairman Jung is here? - Yes.

Yes, let's go,

Grandfather.

Why, that little…

I was just lucky.

Not luck. That's skill.

- Stating the obvious. - Unbelievable.

- Good to see you. - Hello, sir.

- We should get together. - Sure.

My grandson really hit it big this time launching Dynaestie.

- He did. - It must succeed.

Yes, I heard the rumors. I'm sure he'll do great.

- Well, he's a hard worker, so probably… - Yes.

With today's launch event,

Mr. Cha's image in the industry is on the road to recovery.

Response from both the media

and within Chail has been favorable.

It must be the halo effect from the Chairman.

And the anticipation

building around Chail's successor.

What about that nurse?

Is she still unconscious?

Yes, but her medical team has been paid off,

so they should reach out if anything changes.

There must be no mistakes this time.

As a court lady in Mr. Cha's dream?

If he's seeing the past,

it's not a prophetic dream.

Could it be something like reincarnation?

I know you are a seer and all,

but you should still keep up with the times.

How can you spout such nonsense in this day and age,

where palanquins fly?

If we can transcend time and space,

why not reincarnation?

If anything, your situation makes less sense. Seriously.

If it really is reincarnation,

do you have anyone you suspect he is?

You said that a man named Choi Mun-do was the king.

Then wouldn't Mr. Cha be someone close to him too?

Your dreams have a storyline?

Have you been under stress lately?

How could I not be?

I'm surrounded by minefields.

Never mind that. Just prescribe me more sleeping pills.

To knock me out cold.

That's not something you can suppress just by sheer will.

Just relax and go with the flow.

Who knows? It could be a prophetic dream.

A prophetic dream…

Are you even listening to me? And you call yourself a doctor.

It's not the future. It's the past.

Who cares if it's the past or future?

It's still all connected to the present.

You shouldn't assume time is linear.

There could be parallel timelines.

Did you join a cult?

I didn't expect the Chairman to make a personal appearance.

It's safe to see this as a signal, right?

A signal?

Yeah, I guess it's safe to call it a signal from the brain.

For what feels like an eternity, I've been waiting

for him to summon us back to headquarters and finally...

I did wait for an eternity.
