“I Thought I Was Strong”, The My Dearest Nemesis Line That Broke Us!

Okay, let’s be real, who else absolutely lost it when Baek Su-jeong (played by Mun Ka-young) said, “I thought I was strong” in My Dearest Nemesis? Because same. That moment hit like a truck, and fans everywhere are still trying to recover. If you haven’t caught up yet, trust me, you’re going to want to grab some tissues before diving in. 

That Scene? Pure Heartbreak.

Su-jeong has spent years building up this tough, no-nonsense attitude. She’s a top-tier planner at Yongsung Department Store, and nothing, not even her mysterious new boss, can shake her. Or so she thought. Turns out, her boss, Ban Ju-yeon (Choi Hyun-wook), is actually her first love and former online gaming rival, Black Dragon. 

Cue the emotional chaos.

When Su-jeong finally lets her guard down and says, “I thought I was strong,” you can literally feel her heartbreak. She thought she had moved on. She thought she had built up enough walls to keep Ju-yeon out. But in that moment, all those years of pain, betrayal, and unresolved feelings come rushing back, and we’re right there with her, feeling every ounce of it. 

Why This Line Cut So Deep

We’ve all been there, right? Pretending we’re fine, telling ourselves we’re over something (or someone), only to realize that, nope, those emotions are still very much alive. Su-jeong’s words hit so hard because they’re so real. Sometimes, the hardest part isn’t the pain itself, it’s admitting that it still affects us. 

Plus, Mun Ka-young absolutely nailed this scene. Her expression, her voice, even the way she looks at Ju-yeon, it’s heartbreak in its purest form. No wonder fans are calling this one of the most powerful moments in My Dearest Nemesis so far. 

Fans Are Not Okay

If you’ve been anywhere near social media, you already know, this scene had fans absolutely wrecked. People have been posting about how deeply they relate to Su-jeong, how they felt every word she said, and how they need time to emotionally recover. 

It’s not just about the romance, though. My Dearest Nemesis is doing such a great job of showing how complicated love, forgiveness, and personal growth can be. First love isn’t just about butterflies and happy endings, it’s also about pain, misunderstandings, and sometimes, second chances.
