Lee Jung-jae Returns to K-Drama with Rom-Com Nice to Not Meet You, Premiering Nov. 3

The project reframes both leads in a lighter register through a meta show-within-a-show.

Overview

  • The series debuts November 3 at 8:50 p.m. KST in tvN’s Monday–Tuesday slot and will stream globally on Prime Video.
  • The drama is set for a 16-episode run.
  • Lee Jung-jae plays an A-list star boxed in by a long-running action procedural inside the story, opposite Lim Ji-yeon as a political reporter reassigned to the entertainment beat.
  • Director Kim Ga-ram points to unusually demanding action work for the show-within-a-show, with the stunt team from Lee’s film Hunt brought in to choreograph sequences.
  • Fresh stills released ahead of the premiere tease the leads’ first encounter, as coverage notes public attention on the nearly 20-year age gap that the cast has downplayed.
