All Apologies
As soon as Hagiwara got to the diner, Hagiwara immediately apologized to Kairo for cheating; however, she did not acknowledge the apology. Instead, she immediately began questioning why Hagiwara slept with Sei, a man, while she smiled.
She did not apologizes until after she acknowledged that Hagiwara never blamed her for their relationship falling apart or was disrespectful to her.
Which prompted Hagiwara to apologize again.
Fujisawa did not apologize until the next day and he stated he didn't mean to hurt Sei.
And after that, Sei apologized and responded that he knew Fujisawa didn't mean to hurt him, which also happened during the toe incident.
But every time Hagiwara apologizes to Sei,
Sei reassures him it's okay and not his fault.
But Hagiwara also does the same for Sei.
Which is why Hagiwara and Fujisawa are good together.
Kairo doesn't take accountability for her part in the relationship dissolving, which left Hagiwara always taking the blame. He thought he was being too selfish and making her uncomfortable. And instead of Kairo talking to Hagiwara, she ran off and mailed him back his phone, but when Hagiwara wanted to speak to Sei, he met him.
Fujisawa is so used to Sei excusing his behavior, that it becomes Sei's automatic response to all the harm Fujisawa does to him, so when Sei explained to Fujisawa about the affair, Fujisawa resorted to violence, but when Sei tried to goad Hagiwara the same way, Hagiwara quickly apologized.
Hagiwara and Sei are so used to thinking they are the problem and excusing their partner's behavior that they started believing they are bad people, but even though they know what they did was wrong, they also won't let the other person think it was solely his fault.
In their relationships, they were constantly left with all the blame, but in this affair, they share the burden, and they share the guilt. They never allow the other to feel like he, alone, is to blame. They never let the other feel like the bad guy. They reassure each other, and they apologize immediately.
They are equals.

“To sit alone or with a few friends, half-drunk under a full moon, you just understand how lucky you are; it’s a story you can’t tell. It’s a story you almost by definition, can’t share. I’ve learned in real time to look at those things and realize: I just had a really good moment.”
— Anthony Bourdain, in his final interview
every episode of my royal nemesis is a rom-com for forty minutes intercut with ten minutes of the most devastating historical romance you've seen and ten minutes of psychological thriller brought to you by a cousin/brother with an unnatural fixation on the main leads.
Exactly and we are here for it...
Fan a FLICKER?! What flicker?! This man's gaze has been blazing with scorching heat that's been one fan away from combusting and consuming them both. He doesn't need fanning, but a cold shower, or her in his shower with him for a 'steamy' night.
This is so true....
My Royal Nemesis said ‘fuck manic pixie dreamgirls, we gonna give you real crazy’ and I love them for it.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a weirder FL than Kang Dan-Sim/ Shin Seo-Ri. She’s like a really fucking strange bird. Not like the ‘bit weird but actually really sexy and cute’. But seriously nuts without any vanity that prevents the batshittery from coming out.
Her dowdy outfits that mix toddler with granny chic. Her rage and her freakouts. Her strange walk. Her stage-y performative laugh. Her (mostly misplaced) smugness. Her egocentrism. Her superstitions.
And that’s how you know it’s real love.
A secretly status-conscious chaebol heir falling for what seems to be an unemployed 24/7 method actor who perpetually shows up as a Joseon royal consort, always tries to close weird nonsensical deals, doesn’t know what a credit card is, who has embarrassed him in public numerous times, and will with 99% likelihood absolutely not be an asset to his business which means meant everything to him?
10/10 adore.
When your girlfriend is too cute so you need to take a moment to scream about it. Cha Segye the man that you are.
Oh God yes, this, I want a man to scream about me...
happy pride month 🏳️🌈
The most painful thing about her public condemnation of him in the past is that ultimately it made no difference. His brother had already stacked the scales. The dead body in the well, the other testimony. She was not actually needed to condemn him, but she was made to do it in an act of cruelty. His brother saw what she meant to him and wanted him broken, everything stripped from him.
And in this world it's the same, he doesn't just want his place, he wants to totally break him...
No, no, but like . . . they were willing to DIE just so the other could live!
They were willing to take whatever punishment came their way just so they could guarantee the other person was safe because they didn't care what happened to themselves as long as the other could live!
Even her betrayal was an act of love because it would grant him a lesser punishment than death, yet she couldn't even look at him.
But he couldn't stop looking at her as she trembled.
And now they are willing to do it all again.
Because even before her death, she thought of him and the plum blossoms that bloom out of season, amid the midwinter snow.
And even as she lay dying, frost fell on her in the middle of summer.
So in her next life, her grandmother names her after a flower that blooms out of season, in the frost.
Because flowers that bloom in season are no fun.
It's part of their charm.
This wasn't her their season.
But seasons eventually change.
This ..all of this.... They are so gone for each other....and that's why she holds him at bay in this life, or tries, because she knows the outcome
it delights me the way cha se gye is always a little pissed off at himself for getting soft over seo ri. like he sees himself doing these ridiculous corny romantic things and falling for this ridiculous possibly insane woman but he can’t help himself, and he’s so irritated about it. it’s a tiny thing but makes so much sense for a guy who has viewed every relationship he’s ever had as transactional and values his asshole-ish reputation. even as he’s starting to let himself enjoy it and enjoy her, his moments of “wtf am i doing” honestly make the transition from stone cold ceo to the most lovesick idiot you’ve seen in your life way more believable than in a lot of other chaebol romances.
and it somehow extra works because seo ri doesn’t instantly become the adoring girlfriend. she’s wary af still so when he does some romantic shit she’s not automatically swooning. she’s similarly going “what am i doing falling for this guy” but can’t help herself, either. so then there they both are, pissed off at themselves and each other for feeling the way they do, and it brings them closer together every time.
it’s just all so delicious!
Yes, the awareness of themselves is wonderful....
I look at these two and it's I want in my relationship. Because these two will burn the world down. They have sacrificed themselves over and over, and kept doing it. Thinking they can save the other, but the world is cruel and has stacked the deck ...but this time, hopefully not.....
My Royal Nemesis isn’t a perfect drama, but something it does so well is it allows its characters to be seen as vulnerable.
We’ve all laughed and gushed over what a pathetic (I say affectionately) loser-in-love Cha Se-gye is and it's because we get to see Sin Seo-ri's effect on him. There's never any question about how fond he is of her or how what she says and does rocks him to his very core even if it gets in the way of his image as a chaebol and more fundamentally as a man. His face is an open book where we get to witness him process all those messy feelings in real time whether it's him touching his face where she had caressed him or him looking offended at being asked to do a trial-run before officially dating or him turning around to hide his smile at seeing her praying at the mermaid statue or him going around town looking like a drowned cat after his dream about their past life together or...you get the point.
And the show does a good job playing up that vulnerability for laughs as well. I loved the ramyeon misunderstanding because we get to see Seo-ri admitting she sees him sexually and his absolute delight at the fact. Yes, it's a classic comedic misunderstanding but it reveals so much about how far Seo-ri has come in allowing herself to fall in love again and how happy it makes Se-gye to be wanted for himself.
There's no nonchalance here and that's so refreshing and beautiful.
This, this.....
Ohh mama this what happens when you sleep on the couch instead of an actual bed...
Listen, knowing Cha se-gye, there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that he woke up, didn't bother changing his clothes, and ran to find her flustered and dishevelled, not out of suspicion, or to confront her or get answers about her potential betrayal in the last life.
But because his dreams hint at her unhappy life and eventual death.
Because he saw her crying in his dreams. Because she looks like someone who was coerced and backed into a corner and left with no choice but to betray him.
Because there's a sadness behind Shin seori's eyes when she talks about life like someone who just got back from the brink of death.
Because if there is one in a million chance...
That she is the person from his dreams. And that his dreams are memories of their past lives...
Then, something must have happened that eventually led to her death. And the thought of her hurting, the mere thought that she might be in danger, that she might have suffered, and is even now haunted by the memories of her past is torment to him.
He can't fathom his silly girl having been through something traumatic like that. And he ran to her this morning, not to confront her about her betrayal but to confirm that it was all indeed a silly little nightmare. Thag she is safe and sound, and that this was all in his head. Because the alternative is unthinkable...
Interesting. I have thoughts to...
mind you, there was not a single legit plot reason for this scene
Shirtless AND wet.....
Segye has officially sunk to the lowest bottom of downbadism = being jealous of himself TWICE! Him dissing and roasting his past life self because he is both her first love and her ex. Also, the awesome writing here, when Seori says YOU and pauses right after he mentions her ex.
The fact she might not recognize his face (yet), but it's actually his voice (his enunciation, timbre, intensity and cadence) she starts finding similar in her alcohol-induced state.
Glad to see that k-dramaland record-breaking series of brutal rejections hasn't bruised his pride and ego at all.
He might not be well-versed in Hanja or ancient poetry, but he actually gets the core meaning of her poem - she is downbad for him as much as he is.
The way they gaze at each other!
Her telling him she finds him beautiful in that backhanded roundabout way worthy of Joseon villainess and he knows her enough that he understands it and it makes him smile. He understands her language now, inferring the meaning behind her words, so attuned has he become to her by now.
