Encounter with Song Hye Kyo and Park Bo Gum Sets tvN Wed-Thurs Premiere Ratings Record

View Comments

• It actually crossed 11% in Seoul which is higher than what mr.sunshine achieved in Seoul making it the highest premiere rating in Seoul.

• A great and refreshing first episode. I enjoyed watching it. Can't wait to watch episode 2 tonight.

• Not a fan of both actors but I checked out the first episode for the hype.

  My opinion for this episode is strictly neutral. The pacing is slow which is expected since they wanted to create the melancholy vibe but some part of the plot is kinda stupid. Why would a woman who took a sleeping pill, knowing that she felt drowsy would sat at a dangerous place like that instead of finding a tree or a bench to rest her back on? So, she risked her life and thankfully a doe-eyed young guy managed to pull her in time and save her from falling to her death or else this drama would be over in less than one episode. And the constant reminding about "finding love" by the local in every possible scene is annoying.

  Nothing against SHK but I don't like her acting here. I know that she tries to pass off the ice princess vibe but the expression is monotonous. And Park Bo Gum's acting is all over the place. Perhaps, episode two will get better, I hope.

  • Nodding to comments.

    Some parts like the getting lost/sleeping pill incident was entirely stupid. Plus, if you had nothing (no wallet, no money, no phone)in an unfamiliar place - would you still be sitting drowsiy atop a wall, to enjoy sunsets.... so you can start problem solving about your situation, only when it gets dark?!! THIS, coming from a decisive CEO?

    1) Easy eye candy from both leads, though I don't see what the huge hype over how gorgoues he is in the office. OK good looking but not OTT so much so life stands still

    2) Is it the new trend to do the first episode in an exotic location - vibe was kinda reminiscent of Devilish Joy (in Hainan).

    3) And yes, the 'finding love' in every scene was annoying. Tad too much.

• 9.4% TNMS
  Loved 1st Episode. Great visuals and amazing cinematography. Looking forward for Ep2

• remarkable achievement considering it's a weekday drama to weekend drama of Mr sunshine.congrats to my love SHK and the entire team of encounter.

  the third episode ratings of this drama will make or break it since by then word of mouth may have been factored into it.

• Not attached to the leads or the story, but it's easy on the eyes and I might turn on for more.

• Episode 1 is good great cinematography. Pbg character is ripe as a green grape check
  Shk character is cold, reserved with her character nicknamed as ice princess check so waiting for episode 2.

• Can’t wait for Episode2! Love SHK and PBG and kudos to the production team for great cinematography!

• I really like TVN! They have a good choice of female leads. From Jung So Min and now Song Hye Kyo. My fave actress. Congrat for the higest Cable TV ratings this week!

• I think it can't be compared to Mr Sunshine. The stories are so different. I liked the first episode but the fact that the story was in Cuba helped a lot. The cinematography and the places they chose were beautiful.

  • It's the ratings that are being compared not the story.

    • I know but the dramas are so different, you can't compare the ratings. Mr Sunshine showed a pretty dark period of Korea.

    • Ahm, at least based on how the ratings are being compared, it is not necessarily the story that is used as basis but the star power of the actors. Meaning whatever story you throw at the audience, it is the actors who draw ratings.

  • The last drama of Hyun Bin Hyde, Jekyll, Me or Big with Gong Yoo had bad ratings and the actors are famous. So no, I don't think it's only the names but the story, the PD, the writer too.
