Lee Jung Jae Is Battered and Bruised After Risking It All for Lim Ji Yeon in New “Nice to Not Meet You” Stills
New stills from the K-drama “Nice to Not Meet You” reveal a bruised Lee Jung Jae after he risks everything to save co-star Lim Ji Yeon, teasing a dramatic turn in their love-hate relationship.
Tension is mounting in the romantic comedy “Nice to Not Meet You” as new stills released ahead of tonight's broadcast show a dramatic turn for its lead characters. The photos reveal a bruised and battered Lee Jung Jae following a tense situation where he appears to have risked everything to save co-star Lim Ji Yeon.
A Top Star's Desperate Gamble
According to a release from the production team, the new images capture the moment after A-list actor Lim Hyeon Jun (Lee Jung Jae) rescues the justice-obsessed political journalist Wi Jeong Sin (Lim Ji Yeon). Despite his injuries, Lim Hyeon Jun’s protective stance over Wi Jeong Sin signals a pivotal shift in their relationship, which has so far been defined by bickering and mutual dislike.
“Nice to Not Meet You” follows the love-hate story between Lim Hyeon Jun, a top actor who has lost touch with his roots, and Wi Jeong Sin, an award-winning journalist who won't back down. The latest developments suggest their clashing worlds are about to collide in a way that moves their dynamic from animosity toward an undeniable connection.
Pairing Lee Jung Jae, a global icon post-Squid Game, with Lim Ji Yeon, a domestic superstar, is a calculated move. The drama places these heavyweight actors into a classic rom-com formula, essentially testing if this blend of global star power and a proven K-drama trope can create the next international streaming sensation.
