Each week, a lot of talented viewers/drama fans will review and write their thoughts on that week episodes. I happen to follow this fan who writes beautiful essay each week, let me share what she writes for ep 14. I don't translate well but i hope i do her essay half justice.
The title for this week is <My life on the paper, blown away by the wind>
In front of Jin Hyuk's mom who pleaded with her to leave her son, Soo Hyun is the killer of their ordinary happiness.
She says she constantly dream that her past and memories are always holding on to her ankle, just like a gloomy water ghost who wants to drag her down. But then one day in her dream, she is the ghost and this time she is holding on to Jin Hyuk and his family. There is Jin Hyuk who is smiling encouragingly at her but in the blink of an eye, he seems to be that gloomy ghost who wants to pull her down together: <You hurt us>. She wakes up and trembles. She thinks that as long as she hold on tight, she will be able to reach the shore. Before this, someone told her: The ordinary tree on the shore is overwhelmed, if you let go willingly, you will drown but if you insist in holding on they will fall into the abyss with you.
Those who have lost something know how painful it is that's why they cherish whatever they have now. Soo Hyun's ordinary life was shattered, because she understands, she can't bear for others to go through it. She smiles at Jin Hyuk but her heart is in despair. In the end, a person like me is not fit to wish for a sun. I am letting go so that you have a chance to live.
Looking back, the starting and ending of her love is a difficult one.
If she did not meet Jin Hyuk, with her looks, family background or capabilities, she will never know the meaning of inferior in her whole lifetime. In order to fulfill her parents, she sacrificed her marriage. Facing Jung Woo Suk, she calmly engaged in a 'business' that has zero benefit. So what if he is the only son of a chaebol? it doesn't matter if there is no love. But meeting Jin Hyuk awakened all her inferiority, her heart flutters and then shrinks back in fear. Her marriage that imprisoned her for 2 years is just like a scar that can never be healed, in fact , it is still aching as if constantly reminding her of her past.
She says, meeting him at this age and after her divorce is unfair. If only i meet him when i was young...
Or maybe if i knew early on that i could find love one day, even if i need to go round&round, i will be waiting. Too bad, fate is playing a joke. If i could, i would be a blank piece till i meet you at my best moment.
Her distance is a futile one. Appreciating the paintings alone, but alas she was caught. At the moment when the light from Jin Hyuk's bicycle shone towards her, there was no way she could escape.
< I am good at holding back> i thought i hid you well, at such a deep&cold place inside my heart. I thought if i don't bring you up, as the days passes by, you will be just like an ancient secret. Just that now, sleepless nights are getting longer and the white hair reveals my sadness.
Jin Hyuk carefully adjusted the bicycle's headlight, standing beside her <Let's enter a some relationships alright?> he gripped Soo Hyun's arms, his eyes full of hope and his voice sounds like as though he was saying a prayer.
What was Soo Hyun thinking at that moment? She says <I am so happy but then i am worried that his parents do not like me>. She has embraced so many difficulties in her life , she is not afraid of demons or ghosts, only afraid of minds that are hard to fathom.
She accept it and thinks to herself to just treat it as a beautiful short- lived dream. I just need a little warmth. It's just that every moment spent with Jin Hyuk is too beautiful, she forgets when the clock strikes at midnight, the magic is going to disappear.
When she sees Jin Hyuk taking wedding pictures, she is overcome with emotions. Having worn a wedding gown in the absence of love, and now standing in front of the person she loves who wish to spend forever with her, is it possible? do i deserve it? It is already a blessing to meet my love, if i wish and hope, will i lose everything just because of my greed?She hesitates when Jin Hyuk 'proposed' < i can cook well> but a skill that is normally praised by people is her shortcoming in her eyes. She rarely cooks, trying hard to forget because those reminds her of her past.
When Jin Hyuk's mom comes, she is not afraid, just reminds herself calmly that < what's coming will come>. Cha Soo Hyun, you are too greedy, that's why Heaven is taking your gift back. If i don't promise to spend my life with him, is it possible to lengthen our time together? Kim Jin hyuk , such a wonderful man , is an extravagant for me. Once my dream is broken, it's time to wake up.
But Soo Hyun ah, he is your first love too, this is also your first time. You will never meet a man like him anymore, no other man will ever love you like he does. Be selfish a little, just hold him tight ok?
One lifetime, is really not that longThe writer commented that in our eyes, Soo Hyun is not brave enough but in her own eyes, she is too cruel. She asked for a break up once but Jin Hyuk rejected the idea.Now Jin Hyuk's family is affected by their relationships too,and the other woman that Jin Hyuk loves tells her <We do not want to play this game,please let us go>.
She wants to hold on too that's why the thought of breaking up/break up happens at the end of the show. Jin Myung's brawl with his friends tells her that her insistence is a wrong one.

To those who blame Soo Hyun for bringing up/ thinking about breaking up,try to put yourself on her shoes. What else can she do?
This is what happens in real life.I'm sure she wants to hold on to Jin Hyuk but then Jin Myung fighting with his friends because of her is the last straw.
Living as Taegyong's daughter in law has left a deep scar in her which can never be healed. For a powerful,wealthy and a woman with status to bow her head and cry silently in front of a normal ahjumma, it is heartbreaking.She knows very well that her life resume is lacking (she even thinks that cooking well is her weakness because she learnt those while being Taegyong's daughter in law) ,it's like she is waiting for other shoe to drop because there's no way she can have a man like Jin Hyuk because he is too good to be true.
I just want to give her a big bear hug and hope that in the end her tears are worth it. Like what they always say, there is always rainbow after the rain.

Eventhough Soo Hyun knows Jin Hyuk's family normal life is affected but Soo Hyun does not wish to let Jin Hyuk go, it causes her great pain.
Soo Hyun's dad trusts in Jin Hyuk and after much consideration,he cut all ties with Taegyong.

Some interesting ig postings
The girl in the pic is watching the ending of episode 6, her friend said she knows the girl will react this way that's why she already prepared to take picture of the 'moment'
SpoilerThis ig owner took picture of her husband watching Encounter, her husband became upset after watching ep 7 trailer (Jh going to Sh's home). After seeing her hubby's reaction, ig owner became upset too, saying Csh must be having a some relationship with her husband instead of Kjh. At the comments' section, her friends advised her to give up watching the drama, leave her house for a while and to talk to her husband properly etc.

I haven't watched episode 6, but judging from the comments, i reckon it is another fantastic episode.
Let me share a bit about the article written few days ago https://m.entertain.naver.com/read?aid=0010518014&oid=001
I do not have time to translate the whole article but the jist of this article is that 'Boyfriend' is not a Cinderella but a Don Quixote's story. One of the main reasons why there are a lot of negative noises surrounding this drama is because unlike Cinderella story, Don Quixote story is perceived as unrealistic and unfamiliar to many. In reality, Cinderella story can happen to anyone including you and me, that's why despite being repeated many times, it is still well sought after. The journalist encourages people to watch because it is a rare drama that teaches us the importance and to be grateful of the small and simple things in life.
I love how every lines, conversations even art pieces serve as a purpose and bring about connections. One scene that leaves a deep impression on me is when both the leads were at the tea house. Jin Hyuk says' the tea you steep the 2nd time, tastes the best' For me, that is a subtle way of Jin Hyuk in telling Soo Hyun to let him in, let him be the 2nd man to enter her world.

The painting is drawn by artist Kim Whanki in 1970, titled (Where, in What Form, Shall We Meet Again? )
He was inspired by a poem written by his friend Kim Kwang Sop
Countless human beings on earth
There is only me in that star's eyes
Countless stars in the sky
There is only that star in my eyes
The night is getting darker
The stars are drowned by its ray
Such a deep emotion
One you and one me
Which year, which month , how to meet again?

I think the article is misleading and many people don't know that Encounter airs 30 minutes earlier than other dramas. So by the time other dramas air their 2nd part/episode, Encounter is already done , that explains the increase in ratings for other dramas.
If you watch live, you will realize there are more advertisements for this week episodes than last and we all know why.

Thanks for all the updates!
For me, the drama is so far so good. I have fun watching the main leads' interactions with each other and also with people around them. How the plot unfolds, what shaped them to be the person he/she is now and i also can't help but to pick up hints that might tell us about the future plot, for instance, Jin Hyuk's camera. So far, we know that Soo Hyun's dad, Mr Nam and the brother of Jin Hyuk's senior in the office were journalists, they were nicknamed The Three Musketeers. The camera was given by a friend of Jin Hyuk's dad, so maybe his dad is/ was friends with the journalists. Also not forgetting the Namsan Tower and library.
Dramas are meant to be a source of entertainment, but i love when i can learn a thing or two from the characters and gain some inspirations. Kim Jin Hyuk is a guy who wears his heart on his sleeve,, he is free spirited and bubbly. He lights up the screen and i can't help but to smile whenever he appears. Despite being a jaded person, Cha Soo Hyun is a strong woman. Do you realize that Soo Hyun never shed a tear even though she was being reprimanded and 'bullied' by her own mom and ex mom in law? I probably will cry along with her when she tears for the first time.
Personally, i just want to sit back and enjoy these remaining 13 hours. Watching SHK drama is like another strike off from the list and her list is getting shorter and shorter.
I know that it is not everyone's cup of tea but it is a poignant and beautiful drama . In short, this drama needs to be savored. While the drama is not without its weaknesses, I would suggest that for those of us who are on board, let's just enjoy the ride and trust that all of them will bring their best and carry us all through the end, hopefully smiling:)

Thanks @caileysmiley
I don't know whether this is allowed here but just for reference sake of dramas that have high CPI
Goblin-352 pts
Dots-345 pts
Mlfts-327pts
Reply 1988-325 pts.
The Content Power Index ranks TV shows based on their overall popularity and influence on consumer behavior. Factors such as number of searches, news subscriptions, and social media buzz are analyzed to determine the rankings.
Boyfriend has reached an all kill because it earns top spot for every factor measured .CPI measures all tv programmes not just dramas,also it is astonishing because the drama only aired 2 episodes so far.

Hi @gumtaek, so far so good. The responses are not bad given that China still officially banned everything related to Korea. The drama/ Song Hye Kyo were trending a few days ago. Many of them praised the actors' acting, cinematography and quality of production.
Rerun of Boyfriend also managed to get high ratings despite being repeated for 5-6 times already.

Hello all, just want to share the small details Koreans and Chinese fans have noticed in ep 1-2. Director Park Shin Woo may be using these props to suggest the plot of the drama.
1) Just like this car, CSH crashed into KJH quiet world.
2) CSH intrusion not only breaks his camera's viewfinder but also (into) his life (i think this is why his age is similar to the camera)
3) Through the viewfinder, KJH saw the book ' The End of the World, Girlfriend'
4) CSH' heels
First and foremost, CSH' heels symbolizes her identity/status. Even though the heels hurt her feet, she never once thought of taking off the uncomfortable heels. After KJH proposed walking barefoot together, she finally picked up her courage to take off her heels. These pair of uncomfortable heels were held by KJH, so are they telling us that in the future, KJH will share/bear these 'uncomfortable' with CSH?
Spoiler5)Watch
The watch on the left is in Korean time, while the right is Cuba's time. After sending drunk KJH home, CSH wanted to change the time to KST but did not do so in the end. On the 2nd day during the interview, she wears the watch with Cuba time. What is the meaning of Cuba good time for CSH? i think everyone knows .
Spoiler6)Paintings-using colors, depicting their different characters.
CSH- before the struggle/rebel, a lonely shadow
KJH- the setting sun radiance, just like the sun, filled with strong colors.
Spoiler7) Negative
Why use a magnifying glass to look at the negative? KJH says he would 'washed out' these pictures, it is a process of turning black and white negative into colored pictures. Is it a hint that he will turn CSH black and white life into colorful ones?
Spoiler8)SwingsThe swings at KJH favourite playground, as we can see below, left swing is CSH and right is KJH. After CSH sent KJH home, we can see that the left swing is swinging= CSH heart is fluttering. While KJH is sitting on the swing with his female friend,the swings do not move.
Spoiler10) Heels and soft toy
For KJH, his most treasured possessions are camera and books. He puts everything that is connected to CHS on this important place. Heels beside his camera, the soft toy that CSH gave him, he replaced his books with it.
Spoiler11) KJH magnifying glass+film negative=CSH watch

[Drama 2018-2019] Encounter / Boyfriend, 남자친구
in k-dramas & movies
Posted · Edited by khxy
Park Bo Gum's interview excerpt
" I don' feel the age gap between us"
How do you feel about working with Song Hye Kyo?
First of all, it's a magical feeling to be able to work with her. She took care of me well, because she acted well as Cha Soo Hyun, i was able to focus fully as Kim Jin Hyuk too.
What can you learn from Song Hye Kyo?
When i heard Song Hye Kyo's senior reciting her lines, i thought that i really need to work hard and learn as much as i can.
"Eventhough our age gap is quite huge but we can converse well. Cha Soo Hyun and Kim Jin Hyuk's chemistry is great, that's why you can't feel the age gap"
" Green grapes are light ,sweet and maybe a bit of underripe flavor. I was worried about how can i portray the this character well but i gradually understand the character when i was acting with Song Hye Kyo senior in Cuba."
" I am surprised that my long hair will attract much attention.It's hard to manage but i think that hairstyle suits Kim Jin Hyuk at certain point so i decided to leave it ."
During the interview, Bo Gum asked the journalists " When you were watching our drama, did we really not have chemistry?"
His frank question created an atmosphere during interview.
He first received scripts for first 4 episodes, Kim Jin Hyuk's character is just like Don Quixote. He is not aggressive/ forceful but tenacious.
Regarding ratings, he says " I mentioned before during press conference that i don't really pay much attention/care much about ratings( insist on getting a certain ratings). I just hope that the drama can bring warmth to many and a relaxing one. That's why i am grateful to see the results and i think to have this kind of ratings is really wonderful. Nowadays, we have a number of great dramas, i don't have any regret whatsoever. I am most grateful towards viewers and fans who diligently watch our drama from the start till the end."
