Romantic drama Nice To Not Meet You continues to reveal itself with new glimpses of the characters played by Kim Ji-hoon and Seo Ji-hye. This spicy comedy explores the tensions and budding feelings between Im Hyun-joon (Lee Jung-jae), an A-list actor a little out of touch with reality, and Wi Jung-shin (Lim Ji-yeon), a political journalist with a passion for justice, who is reluctantly demoted to the entertainment section.
Two strong personalities in the entertainment world
Kim Ji-hoon plays Lee Jae-hyung, the new CEO of Sports Eunsung. A former baseball star now working in the media, he charms audiences with his charisma and benevolent smile. Ambitious but sincere, he doesn't hesitate to go for it when it comes to love, especially when he crosses paths with Wi Jung-shin.
For her part, Seo Ji-hye lends her features to Yoon Hwa-young, the editor-in-chief of the entertainment section. Brilliant, elegant and formidable, she has established herself as the youngest editor-in-chief in the media's history. Behind her apparent calm, however, lies a sensitive and emotional woman, who will be destabilized by the arrival of her new colleague and the new CEO.
The 2 actors shared their enthusiasm for this funny and touching project.
Kim Ji-hoon shared his enthusiasm for the project: "The script had a light, fun charm that drew me in immediately. I was also very happy to be able to work with such incredible actors as Lee Jung-jae, Lim Ji-yeon and Seo Ji-hye." " It's been a while since I've played a warm, affectionate character, so I'm really excited. Lee Jae-hyung is a successful, handsome and competent man, but in love, he's also a gentle man who only has eyes for one woman. As his personality shines through in his style of dress, I paid particular attention to expressing his elegant yet mischievous side through his costumes. I worked carefully to bring out the softer side that I haven't been able to show recently."
For her part, Seo Ji-hye confided that she had been seduced by the depth of her character: "When I first read the script, each character's personality stood out clearly. I was drawn to Yoon Hwa-young because of the complexity hidden behind her composed appearance. I wanted to play such a role, which is why I chose to join this drama. She may seem cold and solely focused on scoops, but her greatest appeal lies in her deeply human and emotional side, which she hides from others. I wanted to express these inner emotions delicately, showing her warmth and gentleness in a natural way."
Nice To Not Meet You will be broadcast from November 3 on tvN and Prime Video.
