Jealousy Unleashed: What Episodes 5-6 of Nice to Not Meet You Promise

The tvN drama Nice to Not Meet You just delivered shocking revelations in episodes 3-4, leaving fans desperate for what happens next. With Im Hyun-jun and Wi Jung-sin’s relationship shifting from professional clashes to undeniable tension, the upcoming episodes promise jealousy, private encounters, and secrets that could change everything. Here’s your complete guide to episodes 5-6.

Jealousy Episode 5-6 Release Schedule

What to Expect in Episode 5

The sports arena interview sets up delicious tension. Jung-sin visits Hyun-jun for what should be a routine interview, but Joo Jae-hyung’s presence complicates everything. When Jae-hyung suggests grabbing a meal with Jung-sin afterward, Hyun-jun’s irritation becomes impossible to hide.

His jealousy marks a turning point—this isn’t just professional rivalry anymore. Watching Jung-sin leave with another man visibly bothers him, suggesting feelings he can’t quite articulate yet. For viewers who’ve watched their contentious relationship evolve from hostile to complicated, this jealousy confirms what we’ve suspected: Hyun-jun is falling for the journalist who turned his life upside down.

Episode 6’s Private Encounter

The second interview promises fireworks. Hyun-jun appears “ecstatic and eager,” rushing from his schedule and anxiously asking his driver about arrival time. This enthusiasm contrasts sharply with his previous guarded interactions with Jung-sin.

Most intriguingly, they plan to meet “somewhere more secluded” after the interview—a private encounter that could deepen their connection beyond professional boundaries. Given the K-drama romance formula, this secluded meeting likely delivers the emotional breakthrough fans have been craving.

Catching Up on Episodes 3-4

The blind date reveal dominated episode 4. Neither Hyun-jun nor Jung-sin realized their meddling younger brothers orchestrated the setup. Hyun-jun’s inability to recognize Jung-sin in her elegant dress—completely different from her journalistic attire—provided comedic relief before reality crashed back.

Jung-sin’s article about Hyun-jun’s mother, Seong Ae-suk, triggered a press conference panic attack. But her firm advice—”in 2025, he should not be ashamed of his mother’s career”—showcased the tough love that defines their dynamic. She’s not just covering stories; she’s challenging him to own his truth.

The tarot reader’s advice led Hyun-jun to decline the drama with Se-na, committing instead to another detective series season. Meanwhile, Jung-sin discovered Se-na’s connection to the assemblyman case she’s investigating—a revelation that intertwines their personal and professional lives even further.

Episode 4’s cliffhanger delivered maximum intrigue: Se-na whispers something shocking to Hyun-jun outside a café, leaving viewers speculating wildly about what secret could shake him so visibly.

Why This Drama Works

Lee Jung-jae and Lim Ji-yeon’s chemistry elevates what could be standard enemies-to-lovers fare. Hyun-jun’s struggle against typecasting mirrors his mother’s past, creating generational trauma that Jung-sin’s journalism forces him to confront. She’s not the villain—she’s the catalyst for his growth.

The supporting cast adds depth. Kim Ji-hoon’s Joo Jae-hyung provides both romantic competition and professional mentorship for Jung-sin, while Seo Ji-hye’s Se-na represents Hyun-jun’s complicated past catching up with him.

Where to Watch

All episodes stream on Prime Video shortly after Korean broadcast. International fans can catch up before episodes 5-6 premiere, making Monday and Tuesday nights must-watch television for K-drama enthusiasts worldwide.

The Monday-Tuesday schedule means minimal waiting between episodes—a blessing for viewers already hooked on Hyun-jun and Jung-sin’s complicated dance between professional rivalry and undeniable attraction.
