    [Drama 2018-2019] Encounter / Boyfriend, 남자친구

    in k-dramas & movies

    Hello Chingus, I'm back here again today since I missed JH and SH :) 

     

    Btw, I just watched PBG's interview at Arirang in 2016 and he mentioned that he typically selects movies/drama that has a good message. So, now I understand why he chose this "Encounter" drama despite the negative buzz in the beginning since this drama does have a very good message for the viewers. 

     

    Hope you're all doing good and thank you for all the translation, recap, insights and analysis!

    @NongpeeP thanks for posting the translation. Wow...I'm even more excited to watch the episode after watching your translation. 

     

    This drama totally sends a good message that we should cherish our loved ones. Even when they are being difficult (such as JH's mom or CSH's mom), we should at least give them a chance and we should still continue to love them. What a heart warming message.

     

    It's true that sometimes you don't need to argue viciously to change someone's hearts. JH wins his mom's approval through his consistent love...

     

    I already know all of these messages but to implement it I think it's very difficult, which is very obvious from the reactions of all of us in this forum to JH's mom. We suggested JH to cut off his relationship and move out from the house. We suggested JH to confront his mom directly and immediately...

    Should JH follow our suggestions, there will be more unnecessary drama ensued and his relationship with his mom is probably not going to be same...so Kudos to JH! You're indeed more mature than your age and I admit that you're more mature than me (even though I'm older) since I often react wrongly when those pressures arrive. You deserve to live happily with CSH.

    I wonder what will make JH's mom relent and let JH be with SH....is it because JH become so miserable for a long period of time? I actually have 2 friends whose parents disagreed to their relationship....the first couple takes 1 year to get approval from the dad and they are happily married with 2 kids now. The second couple takes 5 years to get approval from the mom and they just recently got married. I hope JH and SH don't have to wait for that long...these real life couples don't break up even though they have to wait that long for the approval. So, I think supposedly, SH doesn't have to break up with JH also...haiz...

    If there's a long separation, I'm not sure if we will have a wedding at the end....we would be lucky if we have them again together. I hope the writer doesn't just throw us another encounter at the last scene and we're left with an open ending.

    @beebeep those are not stills from the drama, chingu. Those are from his old photoshoot, I believe

    Oh really? That's good to hear....I become worried when I saw that ring...

     

    Did he has a CF using a ring also?

    Do you think we will see these scenes in the next 2 episodes?

     

    1st pic - Long hair JH looking gloomy with the ring

    2nd pic - Long hair JH looking gloomy at the train

    2nd to last pic - Long hair JH looking gloomy but wearing the ring

     

    It seems that the separation is going to last months or years and not only weeks since JH's hair becomes long again. What I'm concerned with is that JH will quit his job after he breaks up from SH and wasted his talents and life...I hope the writer doesn't go that way since that wouldn't be aligned with the strong and honorable character that we have seen so far.

     

    If JH breaks up with SH, I hope JH would still be able to continue to mature himself, becoming even more financially stable, and becoming even more admirable as a person during the separation...

    I just finished ep 14 and the story, acting, and everything remains to be good...

    However, I'm frustrated with SH and JH....they don't share their burdens and that's the reason for their current problem.

    CSH said to the tea lady that JH will suffer by himself and hence, the reason why she can't mention to JH about his mom's request...

    JH's behavior seems to further confirmed this notion also since he doesn't tell SH the full truth of why JM got into a fight...while SH actually already knew it from Mi Jin.

    Gah! I hope the writer will show how this issue will be addressed and not just showing us how they live happily after all the problems are taken away from them since having your problems taken away from you is not realistic and sends the wrong message to the audience...

    Chingus, now that I have watched half of ep 14 with sub....I'm worried about CSH's dad. It seems that he may have done something not good in the past (in addition to receiving money from Taegyong maybe?). He mentioned that he's going to do a long term project and may not be able to visit the memorial of his friend for a while...omo...I hope he's not going to jail since that will make our CSH even more sad and make her life even more difficult...

    5 years? Oh no. By then she would have turned 40. She needs to have a child before that age please. 

    Oh my...

    Initially, I was in the camp that believes that there's a need for a time jump to mature JH.

    However, as their relationship progresses, I notice that JH is already very mature and dependable so I no longer think there's a need for a time jump for their relationship....unless obviously the writer is trying to milk the angst to make the audience tune to the drama...

    The thing with time jump (especially a long one), you would need to re-start the relationship coz a person's thoughts and perceptions and priority may have evolved/changed during those times...also, even if their initial problems were no longer there (ex: JH's mom passed away), they will still have new problems to deal with....bottom line is I don't think we need a time jump and CSH and JH should just face their problems head on.

     Agree....provided they live in a bubble with no other people to consider.

    I agree that SH and JH should talk it over but in this instance, she can't. It's betrayal of his mum to the highest degree and ultimately might prove his mum right that she's not to be trusted. Add that to the mum's list of fearful about disruption to their normal lives etc...

    I said yesterday that if CSH confides in KJH about his mum, hell might break lose if JH confronts his mum..

    In this drama, we are at the mercy of the writer...hahahaha

    But in real life, if this kind of situation happens, SH has to open up and communicate with JH on the issue. In real life, it would be better for JH to hear it directly from SH instead of from anybody else. JH is mature enough to be able to handle his own mom...he has been his son for 30 years so SH should trust that JH would be able to give guidance and convince his family. If SH doesn't trust that JH can handle the situation then they should not get married imo. 

    In real life, relationship with in-laws is never easy and in order to have a good marriage, both partners need to be 100% open to each other in order to face whatever challenges that they may have. Relationship with in laws is tricky for many families so from the beginning of the relationship, there has to be an agreement between the couple on how to handle each side of the family and communication is key. 

     

    Anyway, this is just a drama, so we're at the mercy of the logic of the writer.

    I second that...

    And if there's anyone that needs to seek forgiveness from KJH, it's his one and only MUM! She is the one who drove his girlfriend to the extreme...so bad that she wanted to take sleeping pills to soothe her pain all over again. 

    No thanks to JH's omma, KJH might face the break up that both never wanted. Yes, BOTH. If anything, she is responsible for making her son suffer as well.

    I appreciate your thinking but JH and SH are 100% responsible for their actions and reactions to whatever problems thrown at them. I think if they break-up then it's 100% SH and JH's fault even though JH's mom is the one who instigate it. Yes, JH's mom is at fault but now we all as an audience wants to know what would be SH's reaction to this problem. Again, JH and SH should have talked...inquiry, hint, or just old plain talk to each other...

    This is the problem with SH...she doesn't share her feelings with JH. If she's not comfortable telling JH that his mom met her behind his back, she should just inquire and get opinion from JH on what they should do if JH's mom is opposed to the relationship...

     

    I mean he's a CEO of a famous hotel. She should have been able to think logically on what to do and how to strategize befitting a real 37 years old...

     

    I would be upset if CSH is asking for a break-up again since it doesn't make sense logically due to the reasons that I have mentioned in my post above...

    haish....thanks for the explanation chingus! However, I still can't understand CSH's mind if she's going to ask for a break-up after they date publicly like that....

    I understand that SH may want to fulfill JH's wish...However, if they date publicly like that, there will be a lot of news in SNS, etc and neighbors/friends will start contacting JH and his family again and isn't it even more sad and ridiculous if it turns out that he already broke-up with SH right after their public dating news is leaked? 

    I would think that SH is very short sighted if she really does that...

     

    On the other hand, the animations are not helping either....geez, let's just wait for next week then.

    It looks like the drama in this drama is finally starting. 13 episodes of sweetness has gone stale and boring.  They are in love, JH is sweet etc, we get it. ENOUGH! It's no wonder people are finding this drama slow.  

     

    Hoping for more some intense drama in the few remaining episodes. 

    Interesting POV! I would recommend to say "some people" instead of "people" since there are still a lot of other people who like the drama the way it was in the last 13 episodes...not sure if you've been reading this thread to understand them. JH and SH are tackling their issues one by one and growing in their characters so the progression of their relationship is very realistic and I like them.

    SH's appa did the right thing. He probably realizes that if he wants to pursue presidency, he would need the support from Taegyong and he no longer wants to be involved with that family nor put SH under that same pressure again. If SH's appa has other means to become a president, he would do so I think...but perhaps he has been too dependent on Taegyong in the past or he just doesn't think that he can beat Taegyong if he chooses to part ways with them. It's good that Taegyong is losing a lever against SH.

    Relationship with in-laws and parents are indeed one of the major reason for heartache during marriage and a leading contributor for divorce. It's good that they are facing this issue now rather than later. My MIL also has some reservation about me before we got married but my BF (now husband) and I discussed it and we took actions to overcome and prevent the issues moving forward. We're fortunate also that we live in a different country from our relatives hahaha so the family pressure is smaller.

    I think in the mind of JH's mom, she's probably thinking that since JH is still young, nice, and handsome, he could probably meet other girl that meets her criteria and got married to such girl later on if he breaks up from SH now. 

    What she fails to remember is that JH has not been attracted to any other girl before meeting SH and he may remain single for the rest of his life if he lets go SH...

    I have several friends who are now 35+ and 40+ years old and they have not found anyone suitable for them....it's excruciating and it's not easy to find the love of your life.

    wah...this drama is really tackling the issue of a divorced woman. Given that SHG's mom is a divorced herself, I can understand why she's taking this role. 

    I wonder why almost in all k-drama, the mommy is so strong headed regarding the marriage of their kid...is it really like that in Korea?

    I'm a mommy also and I think marriage is very important. However, I think JH's mom has crossed the line. She should have talked to JH first before talking to CSH....
