My Royal Nemesis Episode 12 Review
What happens after Se-gye finds Seo-ri in a distressful situation?
Not understanding what actually happened with Seo-ri, Se-gye takes her to his own home. Here, some romantic and comedic moments take place as Se-gye tries to sleep in the same room as Seo-ri, and she rebuffs him. However, in the end, it goes exactly how Se-gye planned. Here, Se-gye discusses his love for Seo-ri, but it is apparent that she is stressed about their time together. She believes that they will not be able to stay with each other for long, and this makes her think of all the bad things that could happen to them.
What happens with Se-gye’s grandfather?
Se-gye’s grandfather wakes up from his coma. After seeing him conscious, it felt like the bad times for Se-gye were finally getting over. However, interestingly enough, grandfather lost a week’s worth of his memory completely, making him rely on Moon-do more. He also scolded Se-gye in front of everyone, and this further gave Moon-do the power to do whatever he wanted with Se-gye.
How was the romantic relationship portrayed in this episode?
The relationship portrayed in this episode was very depressing because, while on one hand Se-gye is shown as hopeful, Seo-ri remained constantly worried. There was even a time when Se-gye wanted to celebrate their hundred-day anniversary, and Seo-ri just stayed stressed about whether they would have a future together or not. In such a scenario, we also see that she has acquired a hater who writes malicious comments on her building. This just adds to the psychological turmoil within Seo-ri.
What happens with Tae-hee?
It has been very bizarre how quickly Tae-hee fell in love with Se-gye, even though she did not know him from the very beginning. Here, we get some insight that her mother was also in a loveless relationship with her father. She highlights that and claims that she, too, cannot move on from a man who does not like her. This further solidifies that she would not be leaving Se-gye anytime soon.
Does Seo-ri tell Se-gye about her predicament?
Yes, Seo-ri does inform Se-gye that she might go back, and he completely loses his calm. Se-gye scolded her for saying something like this to him so late. He then tells her that he will do anything in his power to keep her in the current timeline, and this begins another of their fights.
What does Moon-do do to get back at Se-gye?
Even though Se-gye did nothing to aggravate Moon-do, he orders a demolition team to go to Seo-ri’s home and damage the restaurant. This makes Se-gye confront Moon-do, and here we get to see just how evil Moon-do is. He does not like Se-gye at all.
What worked and what did not work?
The twist in the end was absolutely brilliant as we see Seo-ri was the original the entire time. I would rather not elaborate much on this and would urge everyone to just go and watch this episode because it kind of pulled the series from being just a generic show. Now I again have very high hopes for how this series could end.
