Prime Video has announced the premiere date for its upcoming Korean romantic comedy series “Nice to Not Meet You,” led by global star Lee Jung-jae and acclaimed actress Lim Ji-yeon.
The series will premiere worldwide on November 3, with new episodes every Monday and Tuesday in over 240 countries and territories, exclusively on Prime Video.
Blending a witty behind-the-scenes look at the entertainment industry with heartfelt romance, “Nice to Not Meet You” follows the unlikely connection between Lim Hyeon-jun (Lee Jung-jae), a typecast actor desperate for a new chapter in melodramas, and Wi Jeong-sin (Lim Ji-yeon), a decorated political journalist suddenly reassigned to the entertainment desk. What begins as a clash of personalities blossoms into a story full of charm, laughter, and unexpected chemistry.
Lee Jung-jae, whose international breakthrough came with “Squid Game,” takes on the role of Hyeon-jun, a veteran actor stuck playing Kang Pil-gu — the beloved protagonist of a detective series now in its fifth season. While his career appears successful, Hyeon-jun secretly yearns to break free from typecasting and prove himself in more emotionally rich roles.
Lim Ji-yeon of “The Glory” and “Lies Hidden in My Garden” plays Jeong-sin, a hard-hitting journalist whose award-winning political coverage is abruptly cut short. Transferred to entertainment reporting mid-investigation, she must navigate a world she never intended to enter — only to find herself entangled with the very actor she’s reluctant to cover.
In an e-mail interview with Hallyudorama last month, Lee Jung-jae and Lim Ji-yeon talked about building their chemistry and their gratitude towards Filipino fans.
The rom-com also stars Kim Ji-hoon of “Money Heist: Korea – Joint Economic Area” and “Death’s Game,” as well as Seo Ji-hye of “Crash Landing on You” and “Love Next Door,” adding more star power to the ensemble.
Directed by Kim Ga-ram (“Good Partner,” “Nevertheless”) and written by Jung Yeo-rang (“Doctor Cha”), the series promises a refreshing mix of humor, heart, and industry satire.
“Nice to Not Meet You” joins a growing catalogue of Korean content on Prime Video, alongside titles such as “Confidence Queen,” “Head Over Heels,” “GOOD BOY,” “The Divorce Insurance,” “Newtopia,” “No Gain No Love,” “Jinny’s Kitchen 2,” “Marry My Husband,” and “Death’s Game.”
Prime Video subscribers in the Philippines can enjoy the series and thousands of other films and shows for only ₱149 per month.
