This week’s episodes 11-12 of Encounter (Boyfriend) felt like a slow leisurely walk much like the one Jin Hyuk and Soo Hyun went on when he gave her the couple rings. These two are very mellow people and their romance feels like an old marriage couple acting like two fresh-faced kids. It’s not a diss because I adore their sincerity and straightforwardness with each other, but there’s a distinct lack of sizzle. I don’t think they slept together in Havana but honestly they are not the tear clothes off type and more like the read poetry and fall asleep in bed type, lol.
Jin Hyuk is an old soul and Soo Hyun is reviving her closed off nature under his warmth and their relationship is one of watching a flower bloom. It’s delicate and slow in real time, and the ratings for the drama remain steady at 7.513% and 7.632%. These two episodes brought the families to the forefront, from the supportive ones to the scheming enemies but I don’t feel too much a sense of foreboding. Perhaps Jin Hyuk’s strength and commitment have calmed me as much as it has Soo Hyun, I just feel in my gut he’s going to find a way forward for them in the long run, age and wealth/social class differences be damned.
So the most recent casting for this drama is now confirmed as the final selection…
So there is a popularity award in both the film and the television sections of…

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ waiting for this post. Love them!!!
why they talking about eternally sleep thing..lol m scared. i hope they have happy ending. and i love shk in this drama.
JWS's true colours revealed!!
Exactly, obsessed, selfish, hypocrite and stalker are words that describe him
Yes! The man really needs to let go. He had his chance and he blew it. I'm just glad that JH doesn't get intimidated at all. Both by crazy ex-MIL and ex-husband.
He's long been delusional about himself. And after seeing his ex-wife happily in love with another man has now made him not just a creepy stalker, but also a lying manipulator.
Episode 12's ending was so beautiful and touching it made me tear up. I love this drama.
Jin Hyuk & Soo Hyun.... stay strong & dont get swayed. Cant wait for next episode
I don’t think it’s will be a sad ending. I believe the stories will not end as they are married but maybe when they get old and either one of them die. However their love for each other still last eternally as JH said in episode 11: “even one person disappears but love does not disappear.
JH said he'll be by SH's side until her last breath so I hope we can see them grow old together. Tbh I've been feeling really anxious ever since I watched the last two eps. Normally I'd be fine with a sad ending..but not this time. I can't even imagine how sad I'm gonna be if one of them has to die.?
In some forum they predict if one of them has to die, it might be soo hyun? Cause all the foreshadowing features they used seems to imply that? Oh my....it'll be so sad and heartbreaking. I really hope that it will never happened.
I don’t think it is a foreshadowing that it will be a sad ending; as so far I see the writer and director have showed us very consistently of how these two have overcome all the obstacles to demonstrate the love for each other in a very reciprocal way.
If JH accepts the demotion to Sokcho to protect CSH and go to Cuba to save the hotel contract, and put all his sleeves in the relationship, we also see what CSH has done to show that she is also fully committed as proven in the end of episode 12.
So if there is a sad ending then it would be very contradict to what we have seen so far: a pure love , understanding and growing strong regardless of age, and status.
We may get to see them grow old together but the death is unavoidable as life is not a very tale; but as JH has said : love does not disappear.
I can foresee them grow old together..but I do get the feeling that one of them has to die towards the end of Ep.16. This is probably the direction that the writer and PD want to have for this drama. They probably want us to treasure the true love even if the leads aren't together anymore. I wonder if such scene will happen in Cuba...after all that's the country where their love began.
Hope for happy ending but why I can feel sadness vibe already.
This drama is so addicting..I can rewatch it many times but still smiling.. grinning and crying with them.. the beautiful couple in the drama.
The ending of episode 12 is Daebak! So heartwarming. Kim Jin Hyuk crying was such a beautiful scene and what he said when he saw Soo Hyun in front of her house was even more touching.
in front of his house
I love this week’s episodes so much. There are so mature in dealing with the Situations they were faced with this week. Their sincerity towards each other is palpable. I’m not someone who watches an episode twice ever since I only dedicate 4 hours a week to drama watching, but I purposely free up some time yesterday so that I can rewatch the 2 episodes from this week.
I love Encounter!..it's the only kdrama that I'm watching after 2-3 years of absence from kdramaland...I'm not a fan of noona/donsaeng relatioship in a drama...but not #Encounter maybe because it's shk and pbg...kudos to their good acting, the script and directing..even the side/supporting characters acted well ... now I only hope it's not gonna be a sad ending...please pdnim.
