"Nice to Not Meet You" Lee Jung-jae and Lim Ji-yeon are entangled in a pesky relationship.
The new tvN Monday-Tuesday drama "Nice to Not Meet You," scheduled to premiere on Nov. 3 (Mon.) at 8:50 p.m., directed by Kim Ga-ram, written by Jung Yeo-rang, and planned and produced by Studio Dragon, Studio&New, and Artist Company, released a comic poster on the 15th previewing the unusual relationship between Im Hyun-joon (played by Lee Jung-jae) and Wi Jeong-shin (played by Lim Ji-yeon).
"Nice to Not Meet You" is a drama about a popular actor who has lost his original spirit and an entertainment reporter obsessed with achieving justice engaging in a war of disses, fact bombardments and prejudice busting. In the spectacular entertainment world where all kinds of incidents erupt almost daily, the hostile chemistry between a top star and an entertainment reporter entangled by a pesky bad connection will deliver relatable warmth and fluttering feelings amid unconventional laughter. Director Kim Ga-ram, who has worked across genres including Good Partner and Nevertheless, and writer Jung Yeo-rang, who created the phenomenon Doctor Cha Jeong-sook, have joined forces. Attention is especially focused on the synergy to be produced by trusted actors including Lee Jung-jae, Lim Ji-yeon, Kim Ji-hoon and Seo Ji-hye.
Meanwhile, the released comic poster captures attention with Im Hyun-joon and Wi Jeong-shin's step-on-and-be-step-on "utter chaos" chemistry. First, Im Hyun-joon is flattened under Wi Jeong-shin's foot. The stature of the national actor is nowhere to be seen, and only his embarrassed expression draws laughter. Wi Jeong-shin, who does not hesitate to step on top of top star Im Hyun-joon's shoulder for an exclusive scoop, is a reporter mad for a big story. As if recognizing Wi Jeong-shin's frenzy(?), the line featuring Im Hyun-joon's cry, "I guess I picked the wrong crazy person to mess with," adds curiosity about the two characters' story as they become even more spectacularly connected in the spectacular entertainment industry.
Lee Jung-jae makes a cheerful transformation as Im Hyun-joon, a national actor specializing in detective roles who dreams of becoming a romantic master. Im Hyun-joon rose to the ranks of national actor through the massively successful "Good Detective Kang Pil-gu" series. Lim Ji-yeon plays Wi Jeong-shin, a reporter who lost her position after being caught up in a massive corruption scandal. Wi Jeong-shin's bumbling adaptation from being a political ace who even won the youngest reporter award to suddenly finding herself in the entertainment department promises to deliver amusement.
The producers of "Nice to Not Meet You" said, "Im Hyun-joon and Wi Jeong-shin's bumbling chemistry will provide cheerful laughter," and added, "Please watch how the two people's tightly tangled quirky relationship will change."
