The end of the year promises to be intense for Kdrama fans: Lim Ji-yeon returns to the small screen with an unexpected role in tvN's new drama, Nice to not meet you, scheduled to premiere on November 3.
Having already made a name for herself in a number of high-profile roles, the actress now slips into the role of Wi Jeong-sin, a political journalist feared for her seriousness and rigor... who suddenly finds herself relegated to the entertainment section. Problem: she knows absolutely nothing about entertainment. Not the names of the idols, nor the titles of the dramas that are setting the country alight.
This unlikely situation will lead him to cross paths with Lim Hyeon-jun, played by Lee Jung-jae. The actor plays a star adored by the public for his "good cop" persona, but who is desperate to break away from this too-smooth image. Their first meeting, revealed in a teaser already online, heralds a head-on collision of biting retorts and palpable tension. The duel between an actor trapped by his reputation and a journalist parachuted into a world she has no control over quickly becomes the heart of the story.
A prestigious cast and a renowned creative team
Behind the camera, the director is Kim Ga-ram, already acclaimed for Good Partner and Nevertheless, while the script is by Jeong Yeorang, known for Doctor Cha. With such a strong creative tandem, the drama promises sharp dialogue and modern, incisive direction.
The project boasts an impressive cast: Lee Jung-jae and Lim Ji-yeon will be joined by Kim Ji-hoon and Seo Ji-hye, further heightening expectations for what promises to be one of the must-see events of the end of the year.
With its mix of humor, savory jabs and budding romance, Nice to Not Meet You promises to be a battle of words and emotions. Audiences will be invited to laugh as much as they will be moved by the explosive encounter between two worlds that should never have crossed paths.
See you on November 3 on tvN for the broadcast (awaiting an international broadcaster).
