'Nice to Not Meet You' Lim Ji-yeon gently comforted Lee Jung-jae.
On the 16th, the tvN Monday-Tuesday drama 'Nice to Not Meet You' (directed by Kim Ga-ram, written by Jung Yeo-rang) episode 12 depicted Wi Jung-shin (played by Lim Ji-yeon) confused by the confession of Im Hyun-jun (played by Lee Jung-jae). At the end of the broadcast, the ending in which Wi Jung-shin warmly pats Im Hyun-jun, who had fallen into a panic because of the sudden commotion, raised curiosity about whether the two could overcome their confusion and become sources of comfort and healing for each other.

That day, Wi Jung-shin, who faced the unimaginable true identity of the 'melo master' and Im Hyun-jun's true feelings, fell into confusion. Im Hyun-jun, who confessed his heart, approached Wi Jung-shin with a noticeably kinder demeanor. Im Hyun-jun, who apologized for having lied unintentionally, complicated Wi Jung-shin's mind further with a text that read 'I'll contact you by phone from now on. Good night.' After the surprising emotions passed, what returned to Wi Jung-shin, who had replayed the conversation with the 'melo master' from the beginning, was a sense of betrayal and emptiness.
In the pre-dawn before sunrise, Wi Jung-shin visited Im Hyun-jun's home with a troubled heart and demanded, 'You weren't playing with someone; did you enjoy watching me dig myself into a hole?' Im Hyun-jun, perhaps exhausted from the emotional toll of the night, hurriedly brought the pale-looking Wi Jung-shin into his home. Unable to go to the set because Wi Jung-shin had fallen asleep exhausted, Im Hyun-jun stayed by his side until sunrise, unable to hide his concern. When Wi Jung-shin finally gathered himself and sat facing Im Hyun-jun, he said, 'It's the first time I've felt like I've become such a fool,' and doubted and was confused even about the 'melo master''s sincerity that had aimed toward 'soulful existence.' Im Hyun-jun, who had earlier experienced similar feelings, said he could wait as long as needed based on his own experience, but Wi Jung-shin's heart did not easily soften.
Wi Jung-shin tried hard to erase thoughts of Im Hyun-jun, but traces of him existed in daily life as if breathing. Eventually, when Wi Jung-shin called first, Im Hyun-jun went to the meeting place with a trembling heart. Wanting to approach Wi Jung-shin as he was without hiding anymore, Im Hyun-jun waited for him confidently in the middle of a café full of people who recognized him. The peaceful atmosphere was short-lived: news of a fight between Seong Ae-sook (played by Na Young-hee) and Oh Mi-ran (played by Jeon Soo-kyung) on the set and the resulting commotion in the café caused Im Hyun-jun to show panic symptoms and struggle. Wi Jung-shin, startled by his unfamiliar behavior, gently patted Im Hyun-jun and gave up his place beside him. Following the healing method that 'soulful existence' had once told the 'melo master,' the two briefly caught their breath feeling as if warm sunlight was stroking their heads, and the ending heightened expectations about whether the real-life Im Hyun-jun and Wi Jung-shin could become sources of comfort and healing for each other.
Meanwhile, the set of 'Good Detective Kang Pil-gu season 5' was somehow creaking. That day the set suffered from canceled shoots, frequent NGs because lines were not memorized, and staff sentiment toward Im Hyun-jun, who failed to coordinate action scenes, was negative. To make matters worse, Seong Ae-sook and Oh Mi-ran caused a real fight on set, shocking all the production staff. With the set atmosphere looking ominous, it is uncertain whether 'Good Detective Kang Pil-gu season 5' can overcome all these crises and sail smoothly.
