"Nice to Not Meet You" Lee Jung-jae, Lim Ji-yeon revealed the truth to the world.
On the 29th, the 15th episode of the tvN Monday-Tuesday drama "Nice to Not Meet You" (directed by Kim Ga-ram, written by Jung Yeo-rang) aired, in which Im Hyun-jun (played by Lee Jung-jae) and Wi Jeong-shin (played by Lim Ji-yeon) finished preparations to set everything right despite escalating external pressure from Lee Dae-ho (played by Kim Jae-cheol). And at the end of the broadcast, Wi Jeong-shin's ending, which exposed Lee Dae-ho's corruption during a live broadcast, heightened curiosity about the upcoming conclusion.
The 15th episode of "Nice to Not Meet You" recorded a nationwide household average of 4.4% and a peak of 5.3%, and an average of 4.5% and a peak of 5.4% in the Seoul metropolitan area, ranking first in its time slot including cable and comprehensive programming. (Nielsen Korea paid platform 기준)
That day's press conference for "Good Detective Kang Pil-gu season 5" became the center of attention because of Im Hyun-jun's surprise public confession. While people who heard the news speculated wrongly about the subject of the confession, the real owner of the confession, Wi Jeong-shin, smiled with a peculiar sense of victory.
After the heart-fluttering confession, Wi Jeong-shin hurriedly ran to reveal the truth about Chairman Lee Dae-ho to the world. Having secured decisive evidence from the deceased aide's brother and sister-in-law, Wi Jeong-shin met secretly with Kwon Se-na (played by Oh Yeon-seo). Kwon Se-na sided with Wi Jeong-shin to escape Lee Dae-ho's grasp and handed over documents on the paper companies created in her name to help. As they were a few steps away from exposing all the truth to the world, Lee Dae-ho's threats intensified. Freed from the threat with Im Hyun-jun's help, Wi Jeong-shin was left trembling with greater fear.
Lee Dae-ho did not stop and approached Im Hyun-jun. Calling him to his office, Lee Dae-ho showed his true colors without reservation and issued a warning. Concerned that something might happen to Wi Jeong-shin at any time, Im Hyun-jun asked Hwang representative (played by Choi Guy-hwa) to arrange an interview program and vowed, "The person in crisis is in danger. I should always be by their side." Thus began Im Hyun-jun's close protection of Wi Jeong-shin.
At the "Kang Pil-gu" filming location, where Im Hyun-jun had been walking on thin ice due to his lax attitude, a pleasant change arrived. After Wi Jeong-shin called Kang Pil-gu special, an apologetic Im Hyun-jun showed cooperation during filming. It was later reported as a heartwarming story that, upon learning that the assistant director and stunt double injured their ankles after being impressed by Im Hyun-jun's flying kick when he had fully embodied Kang Pil-gu to save Wi Jeong-shin, he performed the action scenes himself. Views of Im Hyun-jun changed 180 degrees. In that warm atmosphere, "Good Detective Kang Pil-gu" was running toward the end of its long journey.
Im Hyun-jun learned that his mother, Seong Ae-sook (played by Na Young-hee), who caused a stir on set, went to apologize first to Oh Mi-ran (played by Jeon Soo-kyung). To Im Hyun-jun, who had always been frustrated by his mother's childish behavior, Oh Mi-ran's words, "No one has the right to point fingers at Ae-sook, even if it's her own child," made him deeply consider the tears and hardships Seong Ae-sook swallowed alone while raising him. What ultimately melted the prickly relationship between mother and son was a single "thank you." Seong Ae-sook, learning Im Hyun-jun's true feelings through Wi Jeong-shin, awkwardly expressed her sincerity, and Im Hyun-jun could not hide his emotion at hearing his mother's heartfelt words for the first time.
As the set, family and everything returned to their places, Im Hyun-jun prepared for his final confrontation with Lee Dae-ho. To Wi Jeong-shin, who had been investigating this case from the start of the huge corruption, Im Hyun-jun solemnly proposed, "Chairman Lee Dae-ho, let's take him down." Accepting his proposal, Wi Jeong-shin made a surprise appearance on a news interview conducted to promote "Good Detective Kang Pil-gu season 5," opening with, "This case began with the death of a National Assembly aide seven years ago," and her revelations are expected to have significant repercussions.
Meanwhile, Im Hyun-jun was moved as he recalled his real first meeting with Wi Jeong-shin. He remembered finding Wi Jeong-shin's business card in the printing press car that read "Thank you." Telling Wi Jeong-shin in an excited voice that "this is decisive proof that we were destined," Im Hyun-jun immediately headed to where Wi Jeong-shin was. Wi Jeong-shin, delighted to see the old business card after a long time, realized that the person from then was Im Hyun-jun. Like the saying that fate and enmity are separated by a hair, the two, who had once clashed like enemies, had become so close that they no longer recalled those times. Their fate-like relationship and its final story raised expectations.
