Mad May 31 2026 1:50 pm Pretty much sad I have to skip this drama because I cant bear the age difference, LJY deserved better

Ss Apr 16 2026 6:21 am Such a boring and tiring drama, such good actors but the drama is so much lacking, there was neither romance nor comedy, for me it failed to interest, waited for 12 episodes for it to get interesting but it was too dragging, with such lame plotline, it seemed like they wanted to cast lee jung jae in a melodrama but failed miserably - first the leads had such a huge age gap which was visible throughout, there wasnt a single percent pf chemistry, was hoping for second lead to have some solid plot and heat but that too lacked so scope, all four great actors failed to capture my attention in this loose, lacking, dragging melodrama

Kiki Feb 02 2026 10:35 am I think this might be the first time in a kdrama where the celebrity has used a handkerchief to conceal their identity instead of the usual mask and hat.

Norik Baboorian,C. Jan 12 2026 10:14 am First the selection of great actors and have them be so good looking is always a plus , a cute comedic story line is always a must . Lee Jung Jae is an art form to watch , every move ,every look is a perfection . He is outstanding in every drama , he makes you enter and experience the world he is creating for you through his role . Bravo. The female lead of course is also phenomenal. Love seeing famous seasoned actors appearing in small support roles too . Loved this drama .

Chamonks Jan 11 2026 7:40 am Does anyone know the ballad song playing near the end of ep12, also playing in finale episode around 37 mins ish?

Dania Jan 10 2026 8:18 am Hmmm this drama is fine but too draggy. They could finish it off with 12 eps or less. I like the plot but at the same time frustated by the delaying in confession. Unnecessary long for this kind of drama. The investigation to expose those villains also keep on being dragged. Overall, you may watch this but you may have pent up frustration of the length of the plot.

Jane Jan 09 2026 10:22 am January just started, and this drama has already become one of my favorites. I went in with zero expectations, but it turned out so good. It’s been a while since I watched a drama that had me grinning from ear to ear the entire time. There’s literally not a single boring moment.

The chemistry was overflowing, and honestly, if they were both single in real life, I’d be shipping them so hard. Would love to see LJJ do more romcom in the future.

Also, Detective Kang Pil Gu absolutely deserves his own series. I would 100% watch it. I’m really going to miss: “They say you can’t fix people, but I do.”

annje Jan 06 2026 9:04 am i like this show. i found this not boring and watched all the episodes for 3 days. unlike with dynamite kiss, i cant seem to finish it and i am just trying to watch the last 2 episodes but I am just bored.

Mythoughts001 Dec 30 2025 4:28 pm Finish all 16ep, I gotta say very well written. I laughed so hard on each episode. Not a dull moment at all. Acting is surperb, loved every character on here. Must watch.

may Dec 30 2025 10:37 am i really like it there's no dull moments. and it so funny.

Cute i pie Dec 28 2025 2:27 pm I wonder how I haven't skip any scenes, all so good

nielle Dec 15 2025 8:41 am at least give more screen time for the 2nd couple, im craving it. already had enough of the main couple ?

obadia Dec 15 2025 2:23 am Please continue with the show, i’m excited for the next ep.

Idan buruku Dec 10 2025 11:20 pm Been enjoying the series, just resume the show already, this break is enough.

Bright Dec 10 2025 2:26 am What happened?!!!! were is my show?!!!!

Carol Salsa Dec 08 2025 12:47 pm I am very disappointed that Nice To Nit Meet You is taking a week long break.

I don't understand the low ratings and think it's possibly due to lack of advertising on Amazon Prime video. I have thoroughly enjoyed the series! It is so funny and the acting is really terrific It is one of my favorite Kdramas this year.

Again I'm so disappointed in the break. I don't think the series needs any fixing - maybe just better promotion. It is really terrific!

Soju Dec 05 2025 9:52 pm I’m absolutely loving this drama—can’t stop laughing out loud! Honestly, I don’t care what anyone else says, it’s hilarious. LJJ especially cracks me up; he’s such a refreshing change from his usual serious roles.

Steve Dec 02 2025 1:29 pm Funny and surprisingly engaging, but the story is slow in developing. The story needs more urgency to maintain the romantic tension between the leads.

Soulishere second account Nov 26 2025 9:45 am I am really enjoying it! It so cute.. sometimes im annoyed by the misunderstanding and rude act by FL dan ML but i remember thats just the way human are.. nobody perfect. But slowly they learn how to be better person. The FL is tsundere.. ep 8 so funny! Im wondering how Lim Hyeon Jun act in ep.9 to Wi Jeong Sin

Thanks for making this drama! I cant believe im waiting Monday to come (which i usually hate it) because new episode release wkwk

Soulishere second account Nov 26 2025 9:39 am Lim Hyeon Jun is so handsome...i love him to the moon meanwhile im 29 age now ❤️

Lee Nov 26 2025 1:01 am Just so you know, I honestly didn’t expect this series to be entertaining at first—their pairing felt a bit odd. But once I started watching, I couldn’t stop. It’s funny, surprisingly charming, and way more engaging than I expected. She’s secretly a fan, yet in front of the actor they bicker nonstop, which makes their dynamic even better. I can’t wait for the moment Lim Hyeon-Jun finally finds out she’s actually a fan.

lurkingaround Nov 25 2025 2:01 pm . Ep.8 was a gem - super hilarious.

Forget about the age gap. Just enjoy both the leads acting and the drama's good storytelling. .

Adrian Nov 21 2025 7:10 pm After episode 6 I am really enjoying the performances. I never thought I would be able to see the female lead as something different than her role in the The Glory so I am surprised and happy.

Hiba Nov 18 2025 12:54 pm Um wasnt the name "nice to meet you" at first did they changed it

M Nov 15 2025 4:45 am But those complaining about age…. They do mention she is 36 and that He is a middle aged man… it’s just that it’s not your cup of tea to see people with such age gap in romantic relationship but they do fit the ages they are supposed to be in the drama…, that’s why the directors find it funny that a middle aged man would want to be in melodrama/romcom movie

tofu Nov 14 2025 6:09 am @kdrama I think you didn't see the first episode. According to drama his age would be around 45-50. When he quit acting lets think his age is around 23-25, after 15 years he met the costar again and then started acting in Detective role, then it is mentioned that he acted in same role for 7 years in 4 seasons.

Jamuna Nov 10 2025 3:04 pm omg haven't laughed this much while watching drama

. Nov 03 2025 1:49 pm So excited to see lee jung jae in this role!!

Jew Oct 29 2025 3:14 pm I think this will be my new Mon-Tues cup of tea Kdrama since Miss Incognito will have its finale next week.?

Iwanz Oct 03 2025 8:04 pm seo ji hye is more beautiful, more senior and more skillful in acting to me. why she is not a female lead

alongkot Sep 26 2025 9:18 pm I love seo ji hye

Mo Aug 02 2025 2:42 am Seated for Lim Jiyeon

m0kz Jun 28 2025 9:06 am Wow lee jung jae and lim ji yeon. Looking forward to this series
