Two Week Break and Slow Episode 9 Drops Encounter Ratings to 7.810%

View Comments

• the break kinda killed my vibes towards the drama. but the drama is still light and beautiful. And PBG hair looked like a old korean guy whose hair look's like a hat.

• I love Ep9 and felt for SH and JH. Rating wise, TLE also dropped so am not too upset about it.

  Looking forward for ronights episode

• The writer need to say thank you to PBG and SHK. The plot is too slow now, but because I really care with all characters in this drama, Im totally will watch it until the end.

• Most boring and flop drama, if the writer think hug and kissing can help rating going up? She wrong!! Tomorrow rating going down to 6% rating since this drama has no plot and conflict. I think park bo gum make mistake after rejects gong yoo and jo in sung movie.

  • Your comments are such an eyesore in every thread. Can you take your horrible grammar and negative attitude somewhere else? You never have anything worthwhile to say anyway.

    • @Rilabear Hey, he/she has as MUCH RIGHT to talk about the drama as YOU DO. It's called feedback and having an opion. So why don't you shut the hell up! Koala himself/herself also talks negative about lots of dramas as well so...

    • PPanda0421 i agree but that valentinozara is a troll so (roll eyes)

    • I find @Valentinozara quite entertaining. She is a dare devil who sometimes has some truth to her words ? This is a playground for free speech.

  • i agreed with you. I found this drama boring. Disappointed! After people commented that there is no chemical reaction between lead actor n actress, then many kissing scenes appear!!! But the important thing here is I dont feel they look like a couple because of the ways they acts. However, unlike other dramas, audiences can express their opinions whether they like or dont like, but for this drama, if you give negative comments that you DONT like it, definitely you will be attacked by other fans who tried to defend for their idols. Seem like this drama has strong support behind, such as PR, fans who are willing to attach whomever say No to the drama. Perhaps it is expected to be a hit of the year, but ya let see what's next. Goodluck to this drama to get high rating.

    • THrowing more kiss scenes to create the chemistry after the complain?
      Please educate yourself before writing something nonsense.
      The filming in Cuba started in September that means all the filming including the kiss scenes and everything done in September , everything is already planned including the hairs style and the plot. they don’t throw in the kiss scenes just to satisfy some random complains.
      If you don’t like it , don’t watch it , just please don’t come up your own theory.

    • Some of the kiss scenes already done early in September.

    • They though that kissing scene to gain more rating but not????. Tvn expect to get 10% rating but the rating declined. If this drama was good im sure it's will be hit. Just boring drama can tvn cut this only make 12ep? Such same song hye kyo same old acting all over again.

    • Minh-shk and Pbg team working hard to defend this drama from hater but doesn't help rating at all. I don't surprised if there bed scene between them to get more rating.

    • there's still some awkwardness with them. AND for god sake can pbg please stop acting like a girl with his smile and body language. this drama would've been a total flop if it wasn't for the leads.

    • Chemical reaction between actors? They would have died by now. Loving the drama and the vibe that it brings. Pity you are desperately finding faults not to like it. Well you may go watch something else with more chemicals!

    • Sorry to say that it is not perhaps going to be rally a big hit..though some of the die hard fans of the lead male and female actors are perhaps desperately trying to create such an image .
      It is not because of the story line of young man older woman romancing that it will not be a hit.
      People these days are more open minded tend to view all such stories as different entertainment business and will accept it if presented with surprises and interesting elements.
      But this show is seemingly boring because we can easily guess what is widely in store. .
      There are many neutral viewers who look for the innovative story line, dialogues, tremendous acting,and fabulous on screen chemistry etc so that our viewing time is not wasted.
      People might start to watch initially for big names like SHK,PBG etc.But that alone solely will not make it a hit.
      Most people except perhaps their die hard fans would not have interest to watch it if the script is not very effective and would move on..
      (P.S)started to watch it but lost the eagerness no more watching it.

  • Yup @candycane u like her comments if it says nagative abt envounter but will fight her to death if u can, if its nega to alhambra and hyunbin

    • Can’t you the same? What’s your point here??

  • And they didnt even include the kiss in the teaser what are u talking abt,u are not stating ur opinion here, u are writing things as if they are facts, and people like ur comments if its nega against artist they hate,

• The star of ep 9 is Sokcho....the winter sea is so beautiful ?
  oh poor Won Suk...still keeping your wedding bands doesnt make things romantic??!! You got to speak up...speak from the heart

• Slow slow burn .... you can feel the tenderness between them when they are together ; the emptiness & longing when they are not (together). Subtle gentle waves pulsating between heaven and hell . Nice balance to MoA and TLE .

• I'm fine with a low key romance and this drama was kind of working on that level, but episode 9 was too much of not much happening.

  I do think if not for these stars, this probably would be in the 5% range ratings-wise.

  • 5% is so high though for not so good drama. The Pretty Noona which created more buzz than this drama only did between 3 to 4% during the first 4 episodes and did around 5% the rest of the episodes except for couple of episodes which did 6% in one and 7% in the other.

    • What? Pretty noona created nore buzz than this drama? U kidding right

    • *more*

    • Well it did whether you like or not, both positively and negatively, that people talk more about the Pretty Noona than this drama.

    • Like it or not you need to prove it first. Even SHK score is higher than JHI in brand reputation rankings for drama actor.

    • Before you react for the heck... check if your info is correct.

    • You know you can find it in soompi. Dont be lazy.

    • Geez I am talking to wall. Read a little and know little. Calling someone lazy when you are the one who talks empty. It does not hurt to read... really... I don’t need to prove your ignorance. Read up so you know how ignorant you are.

    • I know noona buy me food is topping the chart as the most buzzworthy drama, but its because there's no competitor. Thats why I comparing the actor score, idiot! Dont be so rude, this is just drama.

    • @Tiani - for actor skill score, I believe SYJ is higher than SHK, and PBG is higher than JHI. So I am afraid you are the idiot here. By the way, you are the rude one calling people an idiot first. This is my unbiased observation as a bystander ?

    • @Tiani - Sorry, Just to clarify, you compare SHK to JHI which is wrong in the first place. You should be comparing SHK to SYJ.

    • Latest Soompi link: https://www.soompi.com/article/1287269wpp/top-10-buzzworthy-dramas-2018

      Something in the Rain is the most buzzy drama of 2018 lol not because there's no competition. Encounter fans should not lie just to save face for their drama.

    • @candycane because PBG score is totally more higher than Jhi, even with competitor the score still high. And we dont talk about that skill, we talking about the most talk drama, you know. I know you're a hater so please dont bother with me because Im not shk'fan.
      @jane can you read? Its about drama who end before dec 2018.

      Oh god why there's so many hater in EC's article. Its just a drama guys. I just asking seriously how pretty noona created more buzz than EC. And this is what I get.

    • @Tiani - you have a real problem here. A serious personality problem. When so many people are saying the same thing and you say the opposite while calling out “idiot” “hater”, it is obvious who is the odd one out. Accept the fact delulu!

    • @MistyEyes and @candycane good data the one who provides the weekly most buzz data drama. Shk Pbg and their drama encounter score is higher than syj, jhi and pretty noona. So tecnically speaking encounter and the main leads generate more buzz because their score is higher. Encounter still airing so good data results covers the ep 1 to 8 buzz results.

    • @Tiana Reas your post because you sound more and more ignorant. You said “What?” in your initial post. You were not asking why Pretty Noona created more buzz but you were refuting my statement and even told me to prove my statement and called me lazy when you are one who’s lazy to look the information.

      FYI Pretty Noona has created more buzz than Encounter not only of that drama but all dramas of 2018 including the top rating Mr Sunshine. Not only that buzz rating of encounter is in decline which at latest or at ep 7&8, Encounter is at number 4 and SHK is No 10 and PBG no 6.

    • @MistyEyes pbg and shk ranking decline in good data ranks because encounter didnt air. But their ranking during episode 1 to 8 they are no 1 and 2. But seriously whats with comparing a finish drama to an on going drama. Lets just count the data score and compare after encounter ends its run lmao.

  • I think we will see if Encounter ends up winning acclaim and awards after it airs. Pretty Noona was not that highly rated but the acting was praised and the actors end up winning various awards. Of course, there's Son Yejin there so I am not surprised.
    Popularity and buzz wise, Pretty Noona does seem more popular because it didn't had so much competition (only remembered it went against My Mister for CPI/popularity chart rankings). Encounter is now competing with Sky Castle, The Last Empress and Memories of Alhambra; and its losing because of its non-existent plot.

    • What's with the fight with most buzz between pretty noona and encounter. The latter still airing so just compare the two dramas after encounter ends.

  • @Jade There is nothing wrong when I posted my comparison but fool reacted for the heck. Read the original post if you want to understand the whole thing.

    But for your benefit I’ll recap. The original poster said that if it’s not meant for the high profile stars, this drama will only be at 5%. So she meant that drama is not good enough, however 5% is too high that even Pretty Noona which had created more buzz than Encounter only did 3 to 4% in the first 4 episodes and only did 5% in most of the episodes.

    Read between the lines of what I said.

• Too bad but I enjoy every bits of this drama..I enjoy their acting and the slow phase..I dunno but Cha Soo Hyun and Jin Hyuk give you that feeling of warmth...

• The rating is still high for a cable paid channel. I enjoy every episode. I love the plot, the script, the actors --- ah PBG. I just love everything about it. Peace everyone. Let's respect each other's favorites.

• I Guess i am in the minority but i am not feeling this drama or the otp slow burn romance.
