Lim Ji Yeon is returning to the small screen with a brave new character — a sharp and determined entertainment reporter in Nice to not Meet You, which premieres on November 3.
The production team unveiled new stills of Lim Ji-yeon as Wi Jeong-shin, an ace journalist who recently transferred to the entertainment department. The photos highlight her duality — from the intense focus of a seasoned reporter chasing a story to the bright confidence of someone deeply proud of her craft.
Nice to Not Meet You follows the intriguing story of a national actor who has lost sight of his true purpose and a justice-driven entertainment reporter unafraid to speak truth to power. Together, they clash and connect in a world overflowing with scandals, gossip, and high-stakes storytelling — exposing the reality of show business where truth and illusion constantly blur.

Directed by Kim Ga-ram (Good Partner, Nevertheless) and written by Jeong Yeo-rang (Doctor Cha), the drama also stars Lee Jung-jae, Kim Ji-hoon, and Seo Ji-hye, promising a witty, emotionally charged look into the chaotic world of entertainment media.
In the newly released photos, Lim Ji-yeon’s character radiates confidence and intensity. Once the ace reporter of the political department, Wi Jeong-shin is demoted to the entertainment beat after being unfairly caught in a large-scale corruption scandal. Once feared for her sharp instincts and unwavering convictions, she now finds herself navigating a new, unpredictable environment — the glamorous yet cutthroat world of entertainment journalism. Her determined expression behind the camera and her triumphant smile upon winning the Youngest Reporter Award reveal both her fiery drive and her pride in her work.
Speaking about her decision to take on the role, Lim Ji-yeon shared, “After working on several emotionally heavy projects, I wanted to do something refreshing — both as an actress and personally. That’s when Nice to Not Meet You came to me.” She added, “I thought, ‘If not now, when will I get the chance to play a character going through such a turbulent and relatable journey?’ I felt confident that I could portray her well.”
She also emphasized the drama’s emotional depth, explaining, “It’s a growth story about people who hide their wounds and frustrations behind bright exteriors. I believe many viewers will connect with that.”
Describing her character, Lim said, “Wi Jeong-shin is like a bulldozer — she charges forward with conviction and doesn’t back down easily. But as she faces the realities of her new environment and the relationships around her, she begins to change. I focused on showing her growth — not only as a reporter but also as a person.”
Featuring a mix of sharp humor, heartfelt storytelling, and rich character development, Nice to Meet You is set to deliver both laughter and emotion — and Lim Ji-yeon’s powerful transformation as Wi Jeong-shin is sure to be one of its biggest highlights.
