Nice to Not Meet You Episode 8 Recap

Hyun-jun goes fishing with Dae-ho, and there they talk business. Dae-ho proposes taking Hyun-jun’s company to new heights together, but Hyun-jun realises that Dae-ho must have ulterior motives behind his proposition. Later, Hyun-jun goes to meet Jeong-in, who rightfully confronts him for what he did. She doesn’t know his actual plan, so she blames him, thinking he will only help that scumbag actor get richer. He finally tells her the truth that he plans to handle the situation in his own way. This obviously impressed Jeong-in so much that she could not even sleep at night.

Hyun-jun somehow finds out that his fan cafe has become active again, and there is only one person, called Soulishere, making all the posts. He recognises her name and realises it is none other than his online friend who is posting like this. He becomes very impressed and decides to gift a personalised text from his actor self. On the other hand, Jeong-in is pretty depressed that she cannot work like she used to as a political reporter, and now she’s stuck in the entertainment section. But her mood gets better when she gets to see the message.

At the read-through of the drama, Hyun-jun tries his best to ignore Se-na, but she sticks to him without caring. They even had to go to an actor’s memorial together because she keeps following him relentlessly. However, there, Jeong-in was also present to cover the story, and she saw Hyun-jun and Se-na together. Later, we see that Hyun-jun actually advised someone at the memorial to provide better arrangements to the reporters who were all sitting on the floor writing articles, so that they could work properly.

After some time, things become complicated for Jeong-in as she gets an invitation to have dinner with Jae-hyung. He lets her know that he is interested in her romantically, but she’s conflicted because she has already started liking the person with whom she texts. In another twist, Hwa-young comes to meet with Jae-hyung, and he finally confronts her. There is something really messy going on between them, and I’m suspicious that Jae-hyung is actually the father of Hwa-young’s child.

On the other hand, Jeong-in fixes a date with the mysterious man with whom she is chatting. But Hyun-jun plans to end it because he knows he cannot continue like this. To make matters worse, Hyun-jun even requests his writer, Byung-gi, to go in his place. Hyun-jun even agrees to do a bunch of scenes that he would have never accepted before just for that. Needless to say, this results in a completely different kind of mess from which getting out is going to be extremely difficult for Hyun-jun.

Nice to Not Meet You Episode 8 Review

Today’s episode finally had some more engaging elements because it did not confine itself to just comedy. We see some developments regarding the relationship between Hyun-jun and Jeong-in, but it goes in an entirely different lane, something that one cannot consider positive.
