Actor Seo Ji-hye capped off her final appearance in Nice to Not Meet You with a beautiful happy ending.
On the broadcasts on the 29th and 30th of the month, in episodes 15 and the finale of the tvN Monday-Tuesday drama Nice to Not Meet You (directed by Kim Ga-ram, written by Jung Yeo-rang), Seo Ji-hye gave a passionate performance as Yoon Hwa-young, the unprecedented youngest entertainment division Director General, portraying a three-dimensional narrative that completed both axes of love and the realization of justice.
That day Hwa-young breathed a sigh of relief and was grateful when Lee Jae-hyung (played by Kim Ji-hun) said he would expose the truth about his older brother Lee Dae-ho (played by Kim Jae-cheol) to the world using Sports Eunseong. She then offered a candid apology to Jae-hyung for the wounds he had left in the past, and when asked whether she was truly the biological mother of his son she showed an even-tempered expression that stirred viewers' emotions.
Hwa-young also teamed up with Wi Jeong-shin (played by Lim Ji-yeon) and Jae-hyung to carry out a meticulous operation to expose Lee Dae-ho's corruption. Determined to see things through once she set her mind to them, Hwa-young joined forces with junior reporter Jeong-shin to succeed in revealing Dae-ho's wrongdoing to the world, fully demonstrating her sense of mission and sense of justice as a reporter.
Afterward, Hwa-young left the entertainment division and grew closer to Jeong-shin, who had been dispatched overseas, creating a heartwarming atmosphere. Upon hearing that Jeong-shin was injured while on assignment she asked, "Get well and come back soon. Is there anything you want to eat when you come to Korea?" showing the tsundere charm of a senior. It was a scene that highlighted the true nature of Yoon Hwa-young, a "born to be a leader," who combined leadership and insight.
Meanwhile, Hwa-young became a real family with Jae-hyung, the biological father of her son, and met a warm happy ending. When a rival news outlet first reported dating rumors between Im Hyun-jun (played by Lee Jeong) and Jeong-shin, she reacted with anger, showing a reporter's determination not to miss an exclusive until the end and maximizing the drama's immersion.
Immediately after the broadcast Seo Ji-hye left a wistful closing remark, saying, "I sincerely thank the viewers who watched Nice to Not Meet You. It was a great honor and truly a happy time to be able to work with such wonderful actors and staff through this project. I will work even harder so I can greet you with a new side of myself through another project in the future."
In this way, Seo Ji-hye perfectly embodied a character in whom coolheadedness and humanity coexist through Nice to Not Meet You, proudly demonstrating her unsurpassed presence. Seo Ji-hye completed the character Yoon Hwa-young with overwhelming charisma emanating from her urbane looks and solid acting skills. Expectations are growing for her future moves that viewers can trust.
