Nice to Not Meet You Episode 10 Recap: When Your Faves Team Up

In Nice to Not Meet You Episode 10, gave fans the chaos they didn’t know they needed. Things got spicy real quick. Yoon Hwa-young literally threw clothes at her ex. Not just any clothes though. The coat she gifted Lee Jae-hyung for his birthday. Yup, that’s how you know someone’s mad.

Hwa-young caught Jae-hyung being all sweet with Wi Jeong-shin. He covered her with that special coat. Big mistake. Hwa-young stormed into his office and yeeted that coat right at him.

Jae-hyung had the audacity to ask what was happening. She reminded him about the birthday gift. He basically shrugged it off. Said he forgot which coat it was. Ouch.

The tea got hotter when Hwa-young dropped a bomb. She told him Jeong-shin already likes someone else. Jae-hyung stayed stubborn though. His logic? If they don’t like each other mutually, no problem exists.

Hwa-young called him out perfectly. She said he’s an unstoppable single-minded dandelion. Then she walked out. Queen behavior honestly.

Meanwhile, Im Hyun-jun got the shock of his life. He expected Jeong-shin to show up for his interview. Instead, Hwa-young appeared at the filming location. Hyun-jun went full panic mode. He asked if Jeong-shin was sick or hurt. Why else would she skip this interview? His concern was kinda cute.

Hwa-young kept it real with him. She explained Jeong-shin is actually Hyun-jun’s fan. That’s why she couldn’t do the interview. Professional boundaries and all that.

Jeong-shin filed what she called a “recusal request.” Like how doctors don’t operate on family members. Hyun-jun lit up when he heard she was his fan. Boy was glowing.

But Hwa-young wasn’t done reading him. She asked point blank if he liked Jeong-shin. CEO Hwang tried jumping in to deny everything. Too late. Hwa-young already knew the truth. She saw right through Hyun-jun’s awkward laughs.

The Alliance Nobody Expected

After about 300 words of drama, things took a wild turn. Hwa-young proposed something genius. She told Hyun-jun they should team up. Her confession? She likes Lee Jae-hyung. Hyun-jun likes Jeong-shin. Both their crushes are kind of into each other. The math wasn’t mathing for either of them.

Hwa-young extended her hand for a partnership. Not a business one. A love mission partnership. Hyun-jun took her hand seriously. They made a pact right there. Hwa-young promised to get Jeong-shin and Hyun-jun’s character Kang Pil-gu together somehow.

In return, Hyun-jun had to win Jeong-shin’s heart. This Nice to Not Meet You Episode 10 recap moment changed everything.

Later that night, Hyun-jun met with Jae-hyung for dinner. He asked if Jae-hyung was seeing anyone. Jae-hyung admitted he had someone in mind. Hyun-jun got sarcastic real quick. He said unrequited love hurts both people when it drags on.

Why would a successful CEO even have such problems? Jae-hyung’s response was simple but sad. He’s not good at winning over the person he likes. Still, he’s gonna try anyway.

The love square officially started. Four people stuck in the messiest situation ever. Two of them now working together. The other two completely clueless about the alliance.

Behind The Scenes Sweetness

Earlier in the episode, Jeong-shin actually interviewed Hyun-jun. She visited his filming set for the first time. Everything amazed her. The crew size, the equipment, all of it.

Hyun-jun gave her exclusive spoilers about his show. His character goes from hero cop to corrupt detective. Big twist incoming.

After the interview, Jeong-shin asked for an autograph. Not for herself though. For someone named Jung Eun-chan. A kid who wants to become a police officer. The kid promised to study hard if he got this autograph. Hyun-jun agreed immediately. Super wholesome moment between them.

Things got messy during action filming. Hyun-jun hurt his ankle and shoulder. Jeong-shin worried about him instantly. She told him to get proper treatment. No chronic injuries allowed.

But Hyun-jun being Hyun-jun? He made it about work. Told her to write an exclusive article about his injury. Right there on the spot. Before even going to the hospital. Man’s dedicated to his press coverage.

The Nice to Not Meet You Episode 10 recap also showed Hwa-young giving Jeong-shin a VIP movie ticket. Just one ticket. Jeong-shin asked why not two. Hwa-young asked if she even had someone to go with. Jeong-shin went quiet. Sometimes the truth hurts.

Jeong-shin later questioned Hwa-young about Lee Jae-hyung’s family. Specifically about his problematic relative Lee Dae-ho. Hwa-young defended Jae-hyung hard.

Said whatever bad things his family did, Jae-hyung wasn’t involved. She’d done her research as a reporter. She knew he was clean. Jeong-shin seemed skeptical but didn’t push further.

This episode proved something important. Love makes people do weird things. Like forming secret alliances with your ex. Or throwing birthday gifts. Or asking for autographs mid-crush.

Everyone’s just trying their best out here. The messiness? That’s what makes it real. That’s what makes it fun to watch.
