Episode 10 opens with Hyun Jun being unhappy about the closeness Jeong-sin is sharing with Jae-hyung and secretly follows them. During this, some students recognize him, which compels him to hide, inviting some laughter on the viewer's face. He is now spiraling about his fake persona on the Onion app as he has started to genuinely like Jeong-sin.

When Jeong-sin is supposed to interview Hyun-jun, she sends Hwa-young in her place. On realizing Hyun-jun's feelings for the girl, Hwa-young proposes a deal: she will help him win over Jeong-sin's heart, and in return, he will have to help her with Jae-hyung. They form an unexpected alliance and begin the plan.

Meanwhile, Byung-gi meets the mother of the popular actor who is also his role model and ends up offering her a role in his project. Hyun-jun is still unaware of the news, but indeed, this is going to disappoint him and bring more chaos to his life.

During Hyun-Jun's interview with Jeon-sin, chaos is about to emerge because Byung-gi is also present at the location, suggesting the possibility of their earlier deception being exposed. As a result, Byung-gi appears in excessive makeup, creating a comedic highlight. In the interview, Hyun-jun answers enthusiastically and even fantasizes about confessing that he is the anonymous person she has been chatting with.

Later, Hwa-young offers Hyun-jun a movie ticket with Jeong-sin so that he could get some time to confess his true identity, but the plan fails. The movie ticket she gives Jeong-sin seats her next to both Hyun-Jun and Jae-Hyung with his mother. This creates an awkward moment with an accidental date collapsing even before it has started.

The episode ends with Hyun-jun returning home only to receive a shocking surprise that his mother has been cast in his series. His stunned reaction promises even more chaos in the next episode.


The upcoming episode 10 of Nice to Not Meet You is dropping on 8 December 2025, following the weekly release schedule.
