Story Recap and What to Expect
The story follows Im Hyun-joon (Lee Jung-jae), a famous actor typecast in detective roles, and Wi Jeong-sin (Lim Ji-yeon), an award-winning political reporter forced to cover celebrity news. Their connection became complex when they anonymously formed a close bond on a community app called Onion, where Hyun-joon used the nickname “Melomaster” and Jeong-sin went by “Soulishere”.
In Episode 12, Hyun-joon finally confessed two major truths to Jeong-sin: that he was “Melomaster” online and that he has real feelings for her. This left Jeong-sin confused and embarrassed, as she had previously shared her fan admiration for the actor Hyun-joon with the person she thought was a stranger online. The episode ended with a pivotal scene where Hyun-joon, stressed by family issues, had a panic attack in public. Jeong-sin stepped in to calm him down, and he leaned on her shoulder for comfort.
Tension is exploding in tonight’s episode of Nice To Not Meet You! New stills show a high-stakes press conference where Lim Hyeon Jun (Lee Jung Jae) is walking on thin ice.
Based on previews and production notes, Episode 13 will put Hyun-joon in a difficult public situation. He must attend a press conference with his ex-girlfriend, a global star played by Oh Yeon-seo, while desperately trying to keep his online secret identity hidden from the media and from Jeong-sin. Meanwhile, Jeong-sin will be in the audience, unaware of the pressure he is under. The producers have indicated this episode will be a major turning point for their relationship.
