tvN's new Mon-Tue drama Nice to Not Meet You, scheduled to premiere on Nov. 3 (Mon), unveiled a still of Lee Jung-jae perfectly transformed into the nationally beloved actor Im Hyun-jun on the 14th.
Nice to Not Meet You is a drama about a national actor who has lost his original purpose and an entertainment reporter obsessed with achieving justice engaging in a war of disses, fact bombardment, and breaking down prejudices. In the spectacular entertainment world where all sorts of incidents occur daily, the enemy chemistry between a top star and an entertainment reporter entangled by a "Karma" bad fate delivers empathy and excitement amid unique laughter. Director Kim Ga-ram, who has worked across genres on titles such as Good Partner and Nevertheless, and writer Jung Yeo-rang, who caused a sensation with Doctor Cha Jeong-suk, have joined forces to provide a distinctly different kind of fun. Attention is especially focused on the synergy created by trusted actors such as Lee Jung-jae, Lim Ji-yeon, Kim Ji-hoon and Seo Ji-hye.
Meanwhile, the life of top star Im Hyun-jun captured in the released photos draws attention. Through an unexpected opportunity, Im Hyun-jun became the lead of "Good Detective Kang Pil-gu." From intense action to eye acting that completed Kang Pil-gu's narrative, Im Hyun-jun's flawless passionate performance made Kang Pil-gu a detective loved by the public and brought countless trophies and honors to Im Hyun-jun.
Im Hyun-jun, smiling leisurely and receiving cheers on the awards ceremony red carpet, is the epitome of a top star. Although Im Hyun-jun seems to have no worries amid the success of the "Good Detective Kang Pil-gu" series and the dazzling life of a beloved national actor, he also has private difficulties. He now wants to be reborn not as a detective-specialized actor but as a master of romance. It raises curiosity whether Im Hyun-jun's efforts to escape Kang Pil-gu's shadow will shine.
Lee Jung-jae plays Im Hyun-jun, who became a nationally beloved detective actor through "Good Detective Kang Pil-gu," delivering a cheerful and seasoned comic performance. The Nice to Not Meet You production team said, "You can look forward to the national actor Im Hyun-jun completed by the trusted actor Lee Jung-jae," noting, "From the intense detective acting in the drama-within-the-drama 'Good Detective Kang Pil-gu' to Im Hyun-jun's jaunty and brazen charm, the multi-dimensional performance will add to the fun."
Meanwhile, tvN's new Mon-Tue drama Nice to Not Meet You will premiere on Nov. 3 (Mon) at 8:50 p.m.
