Lee Jung Jae impressed us in Squid Games and now returns with heart games!

We often say ‘nice to meet you’ when we meet people, as courteous gesture or out of sheer interest but this time actor Lee Jung Jae is coming back with a new Korean romantic comedy – Nice to Not Meet You. After winning hearts of people around the globe through his acting prowess in Squid Game, he is back to win your hearts again, this time through love – or maybe comedy!

What do we know about Nice to Not Meet You headlined by Lee Jung Jae?

The makers of the web series Nice to Not Meet You dropped the announcement that the series will be headlined by Lee Jung Jae. This Korean rom-com will also feature Lim Ji – Yeon and will premiere on Prime Video soon. Interestingly, the web series brings together the distinct worlds of entertainment and journalism.

From what has been revealed of the narrative, Lee plays the role of an actor who is trying to revive his career by making a mark in melodramas. Lim on the other hand is a political journalist who has been re-assigned to the entertainment journalism bench. Clearly, it can be speculated that when the two protagonists meet in the first chance, there will be smoke. But when the smoke dies down, there can be charm, laughter and chemistry.

Directed by Kim Ga-ram and written by Jung Yeo-rang both Lee and Lim have very distinct personalities. They are quite relatable in real life and the writer has molded their characters to shape up like someone we may know personally on-screen or next door. Delving deeper into the characters, Lee is stuck playing the same monotonous character which is now running in its fifth season. While that ensures people love him, constant flow of finance and yet, there is a emotional dissatisfaction of being stuck in the box. He wants to break free and do something new and unexpected that would enrich him from within.

On the other hand, Lim is an award-winning political journalist whose world revolves around facts, finding truth and investigation. The frustration that she feels when removed mid-investigation and assigned to cover entertainment, feels so real. More so, when she is assigned to cover the only actor (Lee) who she doesn’t want to cover at all.

The announcement has definitely made netizens cheer up for Lee. It is only a matter of time to see when the web series releases and what surprises Lee and Lim have for their fans.
