Nice to Not Meet You release schedule: When do new episodes of the K-drama drop?

tvN's latest romantic comedy Nice to Not Meet You, starring Lim Ji-yeon and Lee Jun-jae, premiered on November 3, 2025. It's a workplace romance, which is part industry satire, part slow-burning love story. In short, a fun, glossy rom-com that needs to be on your watchlist this November.

The setup is simple.

When they meet, chaos strikes, sparks fly, and misunderstandings multiply. The premiere sets one question straight: Can the two unexpected allies ever solve their differences?

Nice to Not Meet You Episode 1 and 2 recap

Episode 1 leans into the characters' origin stories. Lim Hyeon-jun (Lee Jung-jae) is an actor stuck in a detective persona. The episode shows how he landed his award-winning role. He's famous and comfortable yet bored with being typecast in the role. He wants to be a versatile actor and stop playing the same man forever. A chance encounter at a script delivery and an awkward red carpet misunderstanding pull him back into the messy world of show business.

Wi Jeong-sin (Lim Ji-yeon) is a confident and political reporter. She's effective and reckless, but she's punished for poking the wrong people and an investigation gone wrong. She gets demoted. The episode is well-balanced; it has a classic toilet escape gag with quieter moments that portray both characters' backstory and motives. The premiere episodes make one thing very clear: whenever Hyeon-jun and Joeng-sin meet, it's pure chaos.

Things take a wild turn when a red carpet misunderstanding ends with Hyeon-jun literally exposed and Jeong-sin branded reckless.

Episode 2 escalates the friction. The viral fallout from the red carpet moment forces Jeong-sin into the newsroom's K-pop slot and puts her face-to-face with Hyeon-jun for a formal interview. She hasn't seen the detective show. He teases her for it. She pushes back. The newsroom becomes a battleground.

Editors, PR machines, and angry fandoms push both leads. A careless post, an old dating rumour, and a rehearsed prank make things worse. Yet in the end, it softens them, as Jeong-sin binge-watches his detective series. Hyeon-jun notices her grit, and he wonders if she sees the real him.
