Episode 3 of tvN Wed-Thurs drama Encounter (Boyfriend) has arrive and…..yup, I’m still totally in love with this show. It grabs my heart in a warm tight embrace for an hour and never lets go, even as I worry for my OTP and rejoice in their tiniest moments of happiness whether together or alone. But mostly together because the show rides and rises on the scenes of leads Song Hye Kyo and Park Bo Gum in the same frame. Soo Hyun’s expressions start to open, to soften, to relax, and Jin Hyuk is forever gazing at her like she’s the best poetry compilation he’s ever read, the most riveting picture he’s ever snapped. This is likely going down as my most favorite acting performance from Song Hye Kyo and but Park Bo Gum will need to pull out even more stops to top his Answer Me 1988 Taek perfection. Episode 3 itself was so narratively rich, we see the sharks that surround Soo Hyun and understand how she’s become this way, but feel comforted by Driver Nam and his instant approval of Jin Hyuk and becoming their little cupid guardian. This drama is so shockingly good I’m still softly shaking me head at how it all came together so far.
There are weird casting choices and this one is weird from both the leads itself…
Well this is an interesting pairing, setting aside the age difference at least I can…

Glad people like this drama and is receiving great ratings but I'm disappointed. I miss seeing Song Hye Kyo so much on the screen but this drama is not for me. I don't like it and not feeling both actors when delivering their lines or performance. Song Hye Kyo did quite good but not excellent because I'm seeing her past character in this new one. The drama give me the whole pretty noona who buys me food vibes. I don't like that one either. To be honest I would be proud of this comeback project of Kyo if the ratings is actually worth the hype and production. The story is very repetitive and moving too fast. At some point is very boring. I understand where the story is getting at and the whole platform but it's not working. Park Bo Gum look too force and not natural. I like him in Moonlight Drawn By Clouds but not in here. Sadly all the positives reviews for Encounter is mostly praising their visual so it's a let for me. Hopefully fans don't take this as a negative review, it's just my intake on the drama. Who ever haven't seen it should give it a try because it might not be for me but might be your genre.
actually there were quite negative respond as the stories go. So, you are not the one who dissapointed.
I think is normal, some people like it, some people dont.
The story is OK but I must admit the ratings are a result of star power of shk and pbg.still enjoying it so far tho
I am more surprised that people on drama beans seem to really love the drama.y there is usually so much n es negativity there
There’s negativity almost everywhere regarding kdramas these days (including here) anyway. People are even more critical in this post than dramabeans...
To be honest i really love this Drama,i love to watched this because of SHK, i am her big fan from Philippines since Autumn in My Heart....
I love this drama! Am a SHK fan and am supportive of her decision to work with Bogummy but i never expected that i will love their chemistry this much. I think they complimented each others differences and made this drama heartwarming and special. Looking forward for Ep4. Also am going to praise the production team for their topnotch cinematography that made this drama more pleasing
So I decided to jump in and watch the first episode for PBG but ended up siding with SHK and empathising with her character instead. She was very melancholy and you could feel her loneliness as she went about her duties. However the flashbacks gave an insight into her background so it was easier to accept her life as it was. PBG for some reason didn’t feel right in the delivery of his lines and acting in fact it was very stilted and I felt anxious watching him. And I know he rules the roost with his emotions, facial expressions and acting when he does bring it. That aside, it’s the story that has to pick up the pace and I know that more detail will unfold in the next 3 episodes but please it’s like pulling hens teeth waiting for this to happen. And I know a lot of us are interested and invested in the storyline and not just the colour of SHK lipstick; bag; dresses.... Fingers crossed that I stay with this drama to the end otherwise it’s getting parked for a rainy day.
This drama and the main leads really have strong star powers because all three episodes are quite blend. The ratings is unbelievable for a very thin plot. Song Hye Kyo and Park Bo Gum did okay but not as being rave over the net. The acting is weak and the whole mother-in-law thing is over due. I'm not a person who expect so much or perfection but this drama really proven that fanbase and star powers played a big role also visual. If tomorrow episode is still the same pace I'm dropping it. ? another drama to skip.
for drama strong fanbase isnt equal to high rating though,if it is, drama with idols will have higher rating, and all popular actor and actresss will never experiece low rating for der drama if fanbase is a big help for drama rating,
Tbh the story is OK but am still upset that this is drama shk choose to comeback with because i don't think we will be seeing her for a long time after this drama but am happy it doing well for her sake.
i loved the second episode but the third one was meh for me. will give it a try for 3 more episode.
Am so loving this drama and think they deserve this good ratings and hope to see it go up. Both leads including the evil mums portrait their roles very well. Can't wait to see how the story unfold. Hope it won't turn too melo and pleaae please don't drag it like the earlier noona drama which i gave up midway.
