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.
