Episode 10 of Encounter Revisits Cuba with a New Breakthrough in OTP Romance and Steady Ratings

View Comments

• Sky castle dethroned boyfriend as a most hype drama. People prepare quality drama. There past thw generation where people watching drama just for the star cast. They're tired with lovey dovey drama. Park bo gum and song hye kyo always bad acting and doing the same role all over again. Standard have gone up and I feel like sky castle really rise the quality of Korean drama. This drama no longer about star casting, drama with crappy acting and bad scripts are only going to sold to Asia. Song hye kyo doesn't match with park bo gum at all no matter how youthful she is.boyfriend is well below expectations considering how much media play it had. And top star only useful for first-two episode just like how good restaurants need to be good drama to make people interested to watching it.

  • Hello valentinozara again :).
    For some reasons , now I find u very interesting indeed.
    And thanks for giving comment here again.

    • Yes, she is actually a very interesting person. Whenever I see her comments these days..a smile appears on my face. What would we do without someone like her here? ?

    • ???

  • Eat your hearts out!? Only those who don’t know how to love hates this drama. I love the pairing, the scenes, the acts, everything. They act naturally, not Over acting. I watch the episodes multiple times and couldn’t help to fall in love with the characters.

  • I have the same opinion for SKY Castle, it's getting makjang and resemble weekend drama just with a better actor,
    and for closure, I didn't wath boyfriend in comparison but SkY Castle is makjang overhype just because it's about "education"

  • So much of writing for a drama you don't even watch only to demean the star in it. No offense to your opinion but no matter how many times you scream in every damn post about encounter is a flop drama. It's a fact that Encounter along with MOA, sky castle and Empress dignity are hit dramas of this season.

• Beautiful passionate sensual kiss kudos to Shk and Pbg. And im impressed that they were able to sustain the emotional level of their acting here in ep 10 even though this was filmed during the 1rst episode. Reading a lot of positive comments from knets from other blogs and im glad they got consistent positive comments from episode 4 to 10.

• I love ep 10 so much!! You are right Koala, it brings back the old school hallyu feel of watching two beautiful people from two different world Fall in love...... ??
  Great acting from the 2 leads conveying their emotions. The FaceTime thing is such a great touch to using modern technology in this old school drama!

• I was eating while watching and for the whole duration of the kiss scene like the whole one and a half minute the fork was inside my mouth while I was grinning like an idiot.

  Also reading the negative comments about this show in the international kdrama fanbase it seems knetz are much more mature than us. Like those who didn't like the show in korea have dropped and stopped talking about it already while those who have continued watching have done so because they like it.

  But there are so many in the international fanbase who have kept on watching it while commenting on sites like this and mdl that this show is boring, the show has no chem, etc, etc. So why not just drop it. It's so ironic. Like we get there are other currently shows airing right now that are very good too like moa, sky castle and last empress. But all three of these shows are of a different genre from encounter.

  Koreans have already stopped comparing these shows and they just enjoy the show that they are watching. They don't have the time to watch something they dislike just to bash on it in the comments section.

  • Yes agree with just drop if the think this drama doesnt suit thier taste n just watch what suit their taste..and for the long story of and old woman and younger bf i dint get why some people still want to bring up about that.why what wrong with that.this drama is totally about a pure love..i enjoyed it so much..

    • Owh to much spelling error..sory

  • I don't believe in hate-watching, and I love love love romance and I'm actually pulling for this show to wrap things up in a satisfactory manner. But I think it's okay to point out that episode 9 didn't move the story forward imo other than confirming she's not interested in the ex's offer.

    I like the fairy tale, low key vibe of this show, and I've liked many a worse drama. I agree that international fans that don't like it shouldn't watch it and should stop comparing it to other dramas airing when it doesn't matter to us, but I also think it's okay to subjectively view this as kind of a middle of the road romance drama thus far.

  • One perfect example, Valentina on the comment above. She's been commenting since this drama was only on planning stage. She kept saying that she hated it, bashing the actors, but yet.. Ep 10 now and she's still here LOL

    • Put candy cane too, she's actually hillarious pfft

    • @Tiani - I know you are my fan but this is not a popularity poll so I don’t need you to vote for me. Btw, my username is one word not two. ?

    • That Valentinozara is a troll. She was kicked out of netizenbuzz after some user expose her real deed. She use to call many actress all those dirty names. She hates songsong that's why all the times she called their drama flop and whatnot even before its airing. It's disgusting to see she isn't blocked by now.

• All PBG has done in this drama is cheesy cringy aegyo . I hope the writers give him more to do than smile and act coy.

  • What else can he do in such an empty plot? He will just stand and flash his teeth, and fans still go goo goo ga ga over his oversized dentures calling it a slow burn full of emotions ?

    • I always love your comment ❤️❤️❤️

    • Hahahahaaa ??

    • Why can't you just accept that people have different preferences? Is it that unbelievable to see someone loving the drama despite the non-existent plot (as you said). You were so quick in defending your fav dramas when someone bashed them but you are exactly doing the same thing to others'. Oversized dentures? Really? I'm not a fan of PBG but even I'm getting tired of this repetitive comment. Your comments used to be better than this..at least they were constructive.

    • @sunshine - you seem to enjoy a repetitive old school hallyu blank plot, why can’t you tolerate my repetitive comment about his big teeth? His dentures really look oversized to my eyes. I accept people have different preferences, but why can’t you accept my different opinion? I have no intention to bash, you just have to slowly read to digest my humor.

    • @candycane At least I wasn't attacking someone's dentures, was I? And jsyk, my love for old school hallyu blank plot doesn't hurt or degrade anyone. Besides, Encounter has everything I need..SHK, romance melodrama and poetry..why would I not enjoy it? Been a fan since 2002 and this is the kind of drama that I love the most. There's nothing wrong with that.

      There were times when I agreed with you so you can't say I don't accept your different opinion. If I don't care about certain dramas or actors..I won't go around criticising them in their articles coz I respect their fans. I don't need to rain on someone's parade just because I dislike their preferences. I'll just ignore. It really isn't that difficult to do.

    • @sunshine - I appreciate your sincerity. I don’t realize mentioning someone’s big teeth is an attack, but his fake smile is really an eye sore. I apologize. I am still watching this drama but with lots of FF I must admit. I wouldn’t say I don’t care about this drama but I find it interestingly annoying. I was hoping the second male lead will get the girl but guess I am wrong by the look of it ?

• What i love about Encounter is the connection of paintings ( art), poetry and literature. And i agree its the old school romance, slow pace with modern twist.

• encounter is a beautiful drama love everything about it. it is thriving against all odds and will continue to thrive until the end

• Kudos to Bogummy and SHK 's acting. This drama will be one of fave kdrama and will be on top of my rewatch list. Drama is just beautiful, emotional and heart fluttering.

  That long ass kiss is one of kdramas best kis for me

• I normally do not like noona romances but I love Boyfriend. @ockoala is so on target about this iconic pairing. A 2001 Hallyu actress and a current IT guy slaying it. I guess some people do not like the pairing but I like it.

• Anyone know the designer/label for her white button blouse? I want it. Thanks.

  • Nvm. A quick google search yield: AVOUAVOU White Open Collar Silk. Pant is also from the same brand.
