Moon Ga Young is winning hearts with her refreshing take on the romantic comedy genre in tvN’s new Monday-Tuesday drama My Dearest Nemesis.
In the second episode, aired on February 18th, Moon, playing Baek Soo Jung, finds herself entangled in an unexpected hostile relationship with newly appointed division chief Choi Hyun Wook (playing Ban Joo Yeon).
As Choi becomes increasingly cold toward Moon upon discovering his secrets, Moon demonstrates workplace expertise. While maintaining a professional demeanor with skilled wordplay and a composed smile, she refuses to back down on work-related matters, creating palpable tension between the characters.
The tension reaches its peak when Moon finally hits her breaking point. When faced with Choi’s power-tripping comments, her inner “boss killer” instincts emerge as she delivers a satisfyingly direct confrontation.

She shows remarkable synchronization with her character while demonstrating impeccable control over her performance. Her unexpected reactions and witty lines in classic rom-com situations maximize Baek Soo Jung’s charm, creating a compelling synergy that keeps viewers eager for more.
