Lee Jung Jae and Lim Ji Yeon made a riotous return to the small screen in tvN’s new Monday-Tuesday series Nice to Not Meet You , which kicked off on November 3rd with plenty of laughs—and one unforgettable wardrobe malfunction.
The premiere introduced Lee Jung Jae as Im Hyun Joon, a once-famous actor now running a modest printing shop, and Lim Ji Yeon as Wi Jung Shin, a gutsy journalist chasing down a high-profile corruption scandal. Their first encounter—a misunderstanding that lands them both at the police station—sets the stage for a bickering-filled dynamic that’s equal parts chaos and charm.
Then fate throws Hyun Joon back into the spotlight when he chooses ‘The Good Detective: Kang Pil Goo’ as his comeback project—which unexpectedly becomes a nationwide hit and reignites his career.
Years later, Jung Shin’s relentless pursuit of truth costs her dearly when her exposé is shut down by her higher-ups, leaving her reassigned to the entertainment desk. There, she and Hyun Joon cross paths once more—this time on a red carpet. In one of the premiere’s laugh-out-loud moments, Hyun Joon mistakes Jung Shin for an attacker and dashes in to “save the day,” only to slip, split his pants, and accidentally flash his underwear live on national TV.
Viewers who watched the episode reacted as follows:
“The best ending of Nice to Meet You.”
