@winter spring summer, as a personal pet peeve of mine, I would prefer to cut drunk scenes out of k-dramas...I think they send the wrong message to young impressionable minds. Instead of dealing with their problems, it teaches 'drown your sorrows in alcohol'. I really started paying attention to this years ago after watching an episode of "Dad, Where are We Going?" (reminds me of Return of Superman). One fo the kids on the show talked a lot about how he wished his dad didn't drink so much. I especially hate that K-drama shows so many young women getting falling down drunk and left in a vulnerable state. In a lot of countries, including Korea, woman in such a state can be and are a lot of times sexually molested...but drams don't show that real side of getting drunk in public. I'm still waiting to find 1, just one, adult K drama where someone doesn't get drunk.
Our couple is cute just as they are. I want to see more wonderful pics of CSH and KJH with a clear head facing their problems with a clear head. Don't get me wrong, I do think people need to be able to unwind in they own way, but I don't want to see two people getting drunk and ending up in bed together. I would rather that decision happen with a clear head.
35 minutes ago, winter spring summer said:Wow my comment wasn't really that deep but you replied with a long lecture about drinking.
Well, when I said it would be interesting to see them both drunk, I'm just referring to their cute antics and certainly not about them doing intimate scenes because I would also prefer them doing it while sober.
Anyway we all know about Koreans' drinking culture so I think that's why we always see it in dramas. Although I'm not defending their love for drinking because I'm not a fan of it either.
15 minutes ago, thistle said:Thank you for saying this. Showing excessive drinking as an acceptable and even laudable answer to life's problems or joys is a dreadful message. Some people simply cannot drink responsibly and have a tendency toward alcoholism. Alcoholism destroys lives and ruins families.
@lclarakl @winter spring summer @thistle
I do not support drinking alcohol or smoking too. I really understand what you meant.
In Encounter, KJH's role is the newly hired employee in PR team which he might have to blend in with this culture to break the ice.
The storyline let this scene lead to another situation that CSH met Drunk KJH and took him home in order to repay what he helped her in Cuba which also result in the comedy scene between KJH&CSH in such night time. This also proceeded to another important scene during newsly hired employee&CEO's interview to let CSH think about asking to go to the rest area together.
The consequence was on the tabloid which started all situation later from two strangers to two lovers.
This alcohol scene is very essential to the script and compatible to working culture in Korea.
However, this is another scene in Encounter to show the power of acting because Park Bo Gum in real life is not both an alcohol drinker and a smoker.

@dukesa1122I agree with this idea. Since I see this drama as a way to "demystify" the fairy tales, the proper ending would be that she is no longer a princess, but a happy commoner. Money is no guarantee for happiness. However, I would like her to become the real CEO of Donghwa hotel, not because of her relationship to T. Group but due to her hard work. She has once said that Donghwa Hotel is not belonging to Taegyeong Group and it would be great if this hotel becomes independent of T. Group for real. So far, chairman Kim sees it as her property.
34 minutes ago, dukesa1122 said:This is exactly what I want the ending to be. T.G. has so much holes in their plot that CSH can use to nullify that stupid richard simmons of a contract. Ex MIL’s lawyer even pointed out that the contract was vague and not very specific so it’s foreshadow that CSH might find a loophole around that contract.
In my POV, CSH losing the hotel and being average class for KJH is conflicting with the idea of “women” in power which this drama has highlighted so much since episode 1.
Agreed with your idea and comment.
Men or Women in love does not need to sacrifice any other things in life to show it is true love.
Doing the best for love, deserved right in business, and diligent work could be done at the same time.
Donghwa Hotel with sucessful outcome and bright future expansions is CSH's hard working payoff that CSH deserved.
CSH's divorce's contract states:
1. CSH must attend any family event that ex-husband's mom ask CSH to; and2. CSH must not create any unfortunate happenings
(which ex-husband's mom explained that CSH should maintain her dignity even after divorce and should not do anything to harm T.G. family's reputation, according to Encounter ep3)
Are there any lawyer related in this forum?
I interpret that it is the divorce contract for the divorcee who has single status as same as a single woman.
Therefore, upon such circumstances,
1) seeing someone;
2) dating; or
3) having boyfriend; or
3) re-marrying
should not be considered as "unfortunate happenings"; otherwise, it shall clearly state in the divorce contract that this woman shall not have any love life no matter what the status is.
For "1. CSH must attend any family event that ex-husband's mom ask CSH to" clause, I hope CSH has plan to handle.
I cheer the concept that CSH in love will do things wiser and more carefully in order to enjoy her life, rather than wasting time to correct incident.

@gumtaek@dukesa1122@NongpeeP and everyone else
I checked the tvn translation on my recorded episodes of Encounter on cable tv..the official translation of what jh says is..
We have a lot of tea at home .. why would i want to drink tea and go home ..
So nothing about controlling himself.. but I remember reading earlier that someone said that in Korean.. the sentences sound similar ?
Any way, I also agree that I don't think they have done ' that 'yet .. Cos of sh's uneasiness over his presence in her bed at home.
Just that the balcony scene at end of 10 .. was extremely sexy and suggestive of more .. but in epi 11, they had reverted to a more chaste version of the balcony kiss.. so my friends and I were a little thrown off..
And now that TVN has made this comment on that video.. it just messes with our thought processes ..
So yeah.. TVN.. he was tired cos he had to control himself and sleep on the sofa . WHAT ELSE WERE YOU INSINUATING ???? or go check with the director yourselves and come back to all of us very concerned viewers with an answer please ..
Thank you so much.
"We have a lot of tea at home .. why would i want to drink tea and go home .. "
This translation looks very smooth:When CSH mentioned let KJH drink tea and go home and KJH responded we have a lot of tea at home...why would I want to drink tea and go home.
I tried to find another translation but I can't because I read in this forum that sometimes viki or other source might translate some conversation more crystal clear esp. for the particular Korean idiom or Korean gag.
Luckily, you have already been able to.
2 hours ago, icyphoenix said:I tried to find another source of info I read in early December that the Encounter's budget is slightly higher than this approx 1/6 but I can't find such news yet.
Due to the news about PBG&SHK's acting rate, PBG&SHK's payment approximately 1/3 of such production cost, not sure whether they have extra variable pay deal upon copyright selling or not.
Anyway, at the very beginning after on air, Bon Factory Worldwide, Encouter's production company can make huge profit from selling Copyright over 100 countries and full CFs supported by advertising breaks and inserted endorsements in the drama.
Therefore, the production might receive more budget than planned for crews(&casts).

@dukesa1122 I watched and read several actors/actresses' interview, some of them discuss about kiss scenes, affectionate scenes, and love scenes between Male lead and Female lead because presenting these scenes are meaningful to the characters which way they wanna bring story to audiences and what kind of emotions in each scene they wanna deliver on screen to suit the roles at particular timing.
Thorough discussion may be very helpful for the professional actors/actresses.
In the Encounter's press conference, Encounter's director mentioned Park Bo Gum's and Song Hye Kyo's chemistry from their professional acting which the director has not ever asked to set but PBG&SHK can portray and deliver on screen till the director was amazed till he wanna let audiences watch what he has watched too.
Song Hye Kyo mentioned in the Press Conference that she is comfortable to discuss with Park Bo Gum and the Director because their idea/view is compatible and smooth.
As in recent Encounter's BTS, Park Bo Gum interviewed after kiss scene in Cuba that Song Hye Kyo and Park Bo Gum discussed and Song Hye Kyo advised what he was not sure which way they should act.
When I watch Encounter's reruning from Ep.1 to Ep.12, I am much more amazed when I think about PBG&SHK's gradual flow from two stranger to two lovers with thick and thin situations when we in this forum have known the sequence is like these
1. KJH with Long Hair has been film in Seoul;
2. KJH&CSH was in Cuba to film the two strangers in ep.1 and the deep lovers in ep.11 within a month.
3. KJH&CSH filmed the two strangers to develop feeling to be in Some relationship and to be Boyfriend/girlfriend.
KJH&CSH's mood and tone in Ep.1 to Ep.12 has been seamlessly portrayed.
28 minutes ago, gumtaek said:@stardustvoid: I don't see how it can be a mistranslation. JH's line before that was he has been "gentlemanly" in dealing with her in response to Soo Hyun's "I feel uncomfortable with the set-up, JH sharing her bed.
@NongpeeP: if we are talking about progression in relationship, the only plausible reference is the Cuban balcony scene. The other 2 options you listed do not hold. During the "tea scene" which was a prelude to JH's Sokcho transfer, his greed was to touch her hands and to hug her. Since the drama beautifully portrays the different stages of love, it does not make sense to skip several steps and jump right into the physical consummation of the relationship. It will be totally out of character as far as Jin Hyuk is concerned in the way he regards and treats Soo Hyun. @dukesa1122made a good point about Soo Hyun's behavior during their amusingly sweet and decent bed scene in Ep.12. The level of discomfort and awkwardness she felt when Jin Hyuk lay on her bed is very telling of what actually happened after the Cuban balcony kiss which ties in with what Jin Hyuk said in the screencap I posted.
I rest my case.
1 hour ago, dukesa1122 said:Basing from CSH reaction from the bed scene, that is not a girl’s reaction to someone who she already danced tango with in bed. She was nervous, uneasy and to put it bluntly, not ready. So no. I dont think they did the boomboom pow in Cuba.
I tried to find any other translation but I can't find.
From your comments, others' comments in this forum, and my own guess,
I am still camping in the "not making love yet" scenario.
Even I am not sure whether it is too ideal in the real life after lovers kissed so passionately , hug amorously, and fongle amatorily in Cuba in front of the balcony of the private room in hotel esp. without others' eyes to make them be cautious as usual,
will lovers stop their actions at only kisses? Umm, Kdrama Land.
10 minutes ago, jl08 said:Of all the translation for the drama, do you think this particular oh-so-life-squashing line could be mistranslated?
I don't think that it is mistranslated. It can't be.
Oh God.
It has to be about KJH controlling himself after the steamy balcony kiss......
Why else did he look so tired and sleepy the next morning at the airport? He might have tried 'gymnastics' in bed after their kiss but decided that he should hold back.....
Regarding the start of ep 11 - beach, sun, salsa, ride in the red car....out-of-this-world chemistry in the balcony kiss..... well..
it's in my mind all along that it's PBG and SHK being themselves...even at the beach when KJH jumped and asked "What is this?" when he stepped on something in the water and SHK was laughing at him...that was being themselves. All their actions in the red car too...they were sharing jokes and playing games with their fists....balcony kiss...I suspect that's their first kiss scene cos I see PBG being shy at the end of the kiss....that too, seems to be being themselves. No offence intended. Just saying what I see.
And if Encounter was before DOTS....well...your guess is as good as mine.
The burning chemistry with our OTP in Encounter is really mind-blowing...
Almost sway from the selected camp for our KJH&CSH.
By the way, offscreen in Press Conference and Encounter's BTS, PBG and SHK look like Noona and little Dongseng, Encounter's Chemistry is the magic of professional acting indeed.

When he said "the last time" I could only think of this moment.
Could last time mean
1) in Cuba; or
2) the tea preparation(before going to Sokcho); or
3) on this bed when CSH got drunk
?
Actually I am a team from "not yet making love" KJH&CSH.
I should not sway with TVN's quote.
1 hour ago, bebebisous33 said:@NongpeeP Well, right now I am expecting JWS trying to corner CSH and even threaten her with the hotel. Notice that he used the video to blackmail director Choi. I see a pattern here: He came many times to JH in order to scare our hero. However, since Chairman Kim and JWS have been warning each other that they might cut ties or punish the other for doing something they don't like, I believe that this thread will come true. But I still don't know how... if JWS decides to give up the hotel for CSH is one possibility. Another possibility is that the video JWS sent to director Choi could be used against him and his mother. This video proves who was responsible for the incident but JWS blamed CSH for this as she proved herself as not so competent. Let just say, when the chairman Kim realizes that JWS has done something which could harm her, she might decide to cut ties with him for not listening to her.
@jl08 @lolipop86gorgeous But life is not like that: some people don't change. Broken families do exist and since this drama demystifies fairy tales, the ending should be realistic. KSJ will be a divorced mother for a while, until she realizes that driver Nam could be her prince charming.
Agreed with you.
I have no hope for ex-husband's and his mom's change but CSH or KJH might do something to try improving the situation as CSH deserved, CSH&KJH's attempt is more than enough for me.
In our world, there are bad people, good people, somewhere in between the first 2 groups who try to survive in this world with most fairness.
In some situation, facing bad people might make some people to fight in their own way, no need to be too strightforward. This might make sense in reality of life.

@Glycie ManongsongI agree with you on this. And if she loses the hotel, her father's plan of giving up the presidential elections will be in vain. He's also preparing to defend her daughter for her rights so it goes to show that there will be a battle. In any way, her non-appearance to her ex FIL's death anniversary does not signify her giving up the hotel-- it can also mean that she refuses to be manipulated by the clause on the divorce, and that she will fight against them head-on. Clearly, she wants to cut ties with TG group and this is just the start.
I agreed with you.
Doing the best for true love is the result of best process in life, rather than concerning the result which depends on many uncontrollable and external factors.
Likewise, working the best for the fairness in life might be important for the virtue of life, no matter the result is.
CSH has turned around this Donghwa Hotel from wreckage to reputable hotel with bright future expansions, she can do the best for her suitable right on this hotel.
Being in love does not mean people should give up other things in life.
@bebebisous33: About Exhusband and his mom (I can not edit to quote after I posted)
I might have no hope to ex-husband and his mom In Encounter.
CSH might have to fight for her deserved right and her fariness by herself, rather than hoping for these persons to change FROM manipulating people like a pet TO realizing equitable value and respect of others' deeds by themselves.
I dare not to hope CSH can change the wealth power in this world but she might attempt to bring back what she deserves.
In reality, some Chaebols still act badly to people with manupulation (when they consider other people with different classes as another species) and still live in the society with extreme power no matter from their ultrawealth or back up to politicians.

@NongpeeP I agree with you. In Encounter, the process of love matters the most: the little steps how they come closer and finally admit their love for each other, while for JWS, only the result matters. He even said it to director Choi. That's his way of thinking: that's why he faked the cheating, he lied to her aso. He wanted to start over and never paid attention to the way how he proceeded. This also explains why he uses the hotel as a way to come closer to her: only the result matters. He is closer to her physically but in reality, he is getting further away from her. He is pushing her to the other side.
Before I watch Encounter, I don't like Melodrama, social gap, and sad story because I might be one of result-oriented as you mentioned about ex-husband.
That's why I avoid to watch the drama which might make me sad.
However, Encounter made me change my mind not just about watching drama but Encounter made me rethink about trying the new thing in life with uttermost attempt might be more important than avoiding to do because of fear to failure.
Encounter showed audiences that KJH and CSH do the best for their love. Audiences can enjoy the process of true love, regardless what will happen next and no matter the ending will be because over all 12 episodes I really appreciate
- actions with reasonable facts and attempt from KJH&CSH's interest, attraction, fondness, affection, and true love;
- the realistic script with unbelievable story by scriptwriter;
- sincere acting by Park Bo Gum, Song Hye Kyo, all Casts;
- directing and cinematography by Casts&Crews
This is really sufficient for a drama and for a value in our real life.

5 hours ago, winter spring summer said:Hello. I've been lurking here and finally decided to log in. Did you guys notice that the broadcast date of the drama replacing Encounter is February 6, but Encounter ends on January 24? Maybe they're planning to air special episodes or commentary with SHK and PBG on January 30-31? I'm still hoping for an extension but I doubt because if they were planning for an extension they would have announced it by now. So hopefully we get at least special episodes.
Thank you to everyone keeping this thread alive, it's such a delight to read your insights.
I really hope that there would be anything related to Encounter but not any live sport programme.
====================================
By the way, I am rewatching as usual. I found out the KJH's dad and CSH's dad act wisely to their child's girlfriend/boyfriend.
KJH's dad:
Even KJH is in love and has tried to accept whatever CSH will do.
However, from what KJH's dad discussed with CSH might make her think more about her action as she asked KJH's dad to watch KJH&CSH. That meant CSH might have to show her sincerity with action.
(The end of Ep.12 might probably&partially be the consequence from this conversation)
CSH's dad and Mr.Nam indirectly as CSH's dad representative:
CSH's dad has not known KJH as CSH, Mr.Nam, and audiences knows; therefore, CSH's dad expressed amiable gesture to KJH with observation act when they firstly met might show no objection but wanna observe KJH with this own eyes.
When KJH and CSH are Boyfriend/Girlfriend, KJH&CSH's gestures and conversation here and there looks naturally equal.

This must be the last week of drama filming, I hope the cast gets together to watch the last episode.
I get anxiety when I realize they have ONLY 4 more episodes to give this drama the ending that it deserves, it’s going to be a challenge. Still wish that TVN would extend it by a week and they should definitely do a special episode to explain all the artwork.
It's sad to think Encounter is nearly over.
1 hour ago, bebebisous33 said:But in the same scene, we have JH promising to CSH that untilhe will be by her side. And this is important because here we see again that JH is a wise and realistic person. He knows that death is part of life and they are not living in a fairy tale. But for him, death doesn't mean the end of the love story, while in the fairy tale it is the exact opposite.
In this post, I had come to the conclusion that the viewers are actually watching a photo album of our OTP , their love story. This is important because these photos and scenes shot in such a way will represent the memories of their love, like the love letter of the poet that was mentioned above. When you watch the introduction of this drama (the music, the visuals), you have the impression to watch an old movie, a classic. So I have the impression that the true intention of the writer and the director is to show their love story in the past, although it is not revealed yet. Why? Because the time doesn't already correspond to our actual timeline. During the episode 11, we see that JH offers the rings on February 16th but the viewers are still in January 2019. So in my opinion, the final ending could be that we see their photo album together after their marriage aso... and the marriage can not be the ending of the story. We might see them getting older. Okay, this is just a speculation from me, yet I doubt that the ending will just end with a proposal. I sense, we might see for a few minutes more... their love story doesn't end with their deaths, the photo album will be the proof that their love still exists. Maybe the writer might use the garden in Cuba as illustration for that.
Your comment reminded me new chapter in my mind.
I don't like sad story, melodrama, social gap love but Encounter made me change my mind from "No Intention to Watch" to "Addicted to Watch"
During thick and thin, Encounter made me think another way around that the beautiful process of love the best ever might be much more important than the result
because once we think about such love, doing with uttermost is in memory, rather than doing nothing to gain nothing.
At least KJH&CSH know what true love is and they have done the best to treasure their love every minute they have such chances, no reget for KJH&CSH.

Maybe because I am binge watching BTS of that particular 2016 drama @Far^awayI agreed with you even I wanna watch BTS as much as possible but showing too many BTS might ruin fantasy of characters.
=============================
When I have watched Encounter&rerun, I recently think if I were KJH's parents, what would I think when this son falls in love with a woman as CSH?
KJH as a son and value more as a good son who
- loves reading to not make parents worry during work for family living with fruit store;
- stydies hard as a student that parents will cherish;
- loves and values his family as a son any family would dream of
- starts working in the reputable workplace with KJH's own competent
I thought I would worry as same as KJH's parents or even worse because
- CSH is CEO in their son's hotel who divorced from a powerful chaebol's family which still showed strong intention to control CSH.
- CSH is a reputable politician's daugther who is a candidate to be President.
Could we imagine how a fruit store's parents worry their son who is in love with this Korean Candidate to President's position?
- KJH has been relocated to Sokcho which is a mysterous evidence that KJH's love with CSH impacted KJH's life and would there be any more impacts to KJH's life in the future?
- KJH looks dearly love CSH but KJH's parents has not known what CSH actually is.
If we were CSH's dad (let me ignore CSH's mom), what would we think about CSH's love life?
- CSH's dad might become politician from his political ideology which he would like to make it achieve in practicality;
- To achieve such political ideology, as a politician, he requires image, power, wealth, as same as the election in several coutries in the world.
In reality, if this is not in the K-drama's script, what would CSH's dad do to CSH's love life before his election?
By the way,
we have KJH who explained what love is and what is KJH's love value VS. Ex-husband's perspective.
KJH's dad and CSH discussed with wise approach.
Too special or insufficent, Too normal or adequate?
KJH's dad has not decided yet while CSH asked him to watch KJS&CSH then.
KJH's mom who cares about living, cooking, her husband&her sons.
KJH's dad who cares about working for his family and how to take care them.
When KJH values his parents so much, CSH's try to express her "normality" by attending KJH's family dinner might be her way to show her love to KJH.

One thing that struck me is that I believe it was Teacher Lee that suggested they invite CSH to her dinner. This will carry a lot of weight with her parents concerning accepting CSH. Teacher Lee is a close friend of KJH's parents and based upon what I am seeing of her; she seems to be regarded somewhat as the respected village elder. I think she is communicating her endorsement of their relationship to KJH's parents, which I think will go a long way toward their accepting them as a couple.
As we knew that KJH asked his dad to root for his love while CSH asked KJH's dad to watch them.
I thought what Teacher Lee asked will allow KJH's dad to have more opportunity to watch KJH&CSH by himself whether KJH's dad will root for KJH's love or wanna stop.
Teacher Lee might not lead any decision/influence to KJH's dad and family.
As CSH mentioned that she understood KJH's dad why he worries.
Teacher Lee worries too, she asked KJH after she knew CSH is CEO of Donghwa who is in the strong limelight as a celebrity, KJH answered he was ready to take risk.
Teacher Lee, as KJH's dad's friend's wife, she can not involve much to KJH's but KJH's dad can decide which way he would act.

It is interesting to read all your posts after the latest episodes. One topic that's highlighted most is the different perspective of JWS's intention in getting closer to CSH. However, one that all of us agree to and wish for is a happy ending.
As for now I'm just enjoying the ride prepared by the writer... and the acting by our main leads.
No matter books, Cuba, Nami, Tower, Sokcho, Han River
or Ramyeon, chicken feet, seaweed riceball
or dress, suit, brand jewelry
If all audiences were in Korea, there would be much more demand than the current hot status.

In this show, I was so taken by his acting here with SHG. He transformed into a younger man who is very stable and mature in his actions and thoughts. I wanted to date him. I am really impressed. PBG can have sizzling chemistry with anyone he is partnered with. I suspect even with a plant...
@luvhollandlopPark Bo Gum from rookie to male leads, he always show how seriously he is an professional actor.
Encounter is very surprising with another level from the hard-to-believe chemistry with Song Hye Kyo. Kudo to both Park Bo Gum and Song Hye Kyo more and more when the Encounter's KJH&CSH passed thick and thin...melodrama male lead and femal lead in PD&Scriptwriter&Casts&Crews's dream indeed.

That it was time to bury their love under a tree or something like that.
Also, did it strike anyone else that SooHyun didn't let anything get in the way of their date this time? The first date JinHyuk asked her on in Havana, she missed because of her job. Now, on this much more important date with JinHyuk and his family, she dropped everything and made sure that she'd be there with him. This writer is so good, you guys...

@dukesa1122 I'm glad you like the name change for JWS.
CSH decided like a normal girlfriend try to do for her boyfriend and his family.
4 hours ago, stroppyse said:I had thought that SH had sent JMJ to convey her respects to her ex-FIL and to let them know that she wasn't able to make it. It would be rude to just ignore it, and her ex-MIL might have been able to make some other excuse as to why SH couldn't make it if SH had just not gone and not sent someone. This way, there is no misunderstanding to her ex-MIL and WS that SH isn't going because she's choosing not to go. At the same time, to everyone else not family, SH has at least conveyed her respects which is pretty much all that's really required of her as an ex-DIL rather than ignoring her in-laws completely since the others wouldn't know about the condition in the divorce settlement that SH had to attend family functions still.
@stroppyse Your reason sounds very reasonable. Thank you for sharing.
1 hour ago, nmgzlz said:The only one problem I had was the sacrificing without telling the other person. Don’t get me wrong, I understood why JH lied but I really wish they had spoken about it and he had given her the go ahead instead. If SH has actually gone to the memorial, she would have been in the news headlines and the family might have found out about it anyway, which might have affected their impression of her. I didn’t really like that he would put her in that position even for her sake without telling her.
Is it just me or was today the first time since he asked them to stop their ‘some’ relationship that he’s referred to himself as her boyfriend and he did it twice. Both times, he was putting himself in a position to conmfort her by buying her a plant and food. I think it was another way for him to be like ‘babe, I’m here now, you’re not alone anymore.’
@nmgzlz KJH might try to reduce another tough factor for CSH by telling about cancelling Teacher Lee's meal. Let CSH decide with less a pressured factor during war with such Chaebol is KJH's way to express his love.
KJH&CSH's pre-relationship(some) has been simply converted to the relationship when they had a dinner and KJH informed that he ensured his feeling and be ready to be in relationship and CSH did not object but discussing activities KSH&CSH wanna do together.
Plus, when KJH ran to CSH's house and CSH mentioned what he did is a boyfriend's. CSH told Mr.Nam to leave car for her to go dating on KJH's farewell to Sokcho.
1 hour ago, Glycie Manongsong said:This is the last part of the Spanish letter of JH: "La verdadera intencion de la presidenta de Dong -Hwa era preservar el jardin tal como usted lo hubiera querido".. The letter emphasized that is a female CEO. It is just not clearly stated in the VO since it will be read in the letter. Samuel clearly knows that the woman he loves and the CEO is one person only. Samuel hinted it since he was in love with his wife all his life and JH is in love with the woman stated in VO and the presidenta in the letter. It takes one to know one. Hope this help.
Totally agreed. If this female CEO was not in KJH's mind, he could write letter with just mentioning Donghwa Hotel.
For Garden Owner who dearly loves and mentions his wife whenever he can, he could catch KJH's unintentional clue because KJH has had CSH in mind all the time either till KJH was unsconcious mentioning CSH in the letter.
Playground's memory with his beloved woman and Female CEO have been synchonized to be one woman.

SHK and PBG are both killing it with such exquisitely compelling, multifaceted and emotionally resonant performances. They have truly brought SH and JH to life in the most beautiful way. Anyone who wants a master class in acting with your eyes needs to watch these two. How can there only be 4 more episodes? Never have I wished more for a drama to be longer and I hate long dramas. Surely there will be more angst but SH and JH better be getting a happily ever after or I swear I will fly over to Korea to track down the production team to demand a reshoot!
@sugarbunnee I agreed with Your whole comment and observation.
=======================
1 Jan 2019: PBG filming Encounter: buying small tree for CSH scene.(lemon smell from touching and the feel is like CSH is stroking KJH’s hair)
11 Jan 2018: Drink and Snack Support for Park Bo Gum& Encounter: From Music Bank
Encounter: KJH&CSH’s chicken feet and seaweed riceball. Fans went to try the same shop.

I was initially kind of mad at JH too, for doing stuff behind SH's back. But then I thought more about it and got to understand it a little. His way of protecting her is lowering her burden, as much as he can. Instead of forcing her to chose, he lowered the stakes. His job is to make sure that she takes care of herself, eats and sleeps well. Beyond that, he trusts her to sort out her own issues. And that is kind of cool.
As usual, I love the reciprocity of their relationship - last episode he said I love you and made one huge step in committing to their relationship. Now she does the same. He may be working behind the scenes trying to protect her other love, but she steps center stage and choses him over everything else. No wonder the poor boy is a goner.
Really looking forward to SH + Kim family fun. Once they got past the initial awkward phase I hope they get to see how adorable she is, and how happy the two of them are together. Looks like dad is already fully on board, but mum will need some more convincing. I hope she gets to see SH - the lonely kid deprived of motherly affection, and that it proves enough to trigger her caring instincts. But for now, give the poor girl some proper homemade food! And some soju since I doubt any being in existence can resist the adorability of drunk SH.
PS: if in ep9 it was SH who was scared to face the odds and JH was the one 100% certain of their ever after, the balance shifted this time 'round. As WS's meddling chipped at JH's confidence, she finally threw away her fears. Losing full control of the hotel did not matter quite as much as she thought it would. She is now brave enough to follow her dreams, and to redefine what those are. She set herself free all by herself. And that is awesome.
PPS: Another thing that I love: at the beginning of the episode they are both feeling uneasy after meeting their respective 'wolves'. Solution: see each other. So often, troubles pull couples apart. Here they only serve to bring them even closer together.
PPPS: I love how JH calls her SHssi when she is in his good graces but switches back to 대표님 when he is grumpy.
PPPPS: for the first time ever, i find couple rings unexplainably sexy.
Your post written as my mind for KJH, CSH, Ex-husband.
Ex-husband prioritized only his own benefits but KJH prioritized only CSH and how to make her less pain more happy.
Over Wed - Fri, I was pretty busy but craved to join this forum, in addition to rerun Encounter.
14 hours ago, rosiepeonie188 said:The way she decided to confess is suit her character, imo..
Jin Hyuk confessed when he realized he can be meaningful to Soo Hyun and he got confident booster by helping her with Cuba Hotel-gate.. the happy and passionate surrounding match well with his character, and he decided that it's about time to clearly confess..
While Soo Hyun confessed after she realized that this green grape boy will stand by her no matter what happen, and i guess that's why she decided to confess her love when things get rough, although it had break up kinda feel, instead of love confession.
BUT, as much as i feel that im not ready to re watch yesterday episode, i cant resist to watch it again just now.
And since our writer love to put hints, i can't help but feel a bit of excitement watching the scene of SH and KSJ
Is it a hint that JinSoo are going to have White Day date? It's on March, 14 when boyfriend give her girlfriend present, similar to Valentine's day (if i'm not mistaken). In Encounter i guess the timeline is they are now in Feb?
Ohh i hope they're going to have romantic date to ease all the pain
@rosiepeonie188 Your comment about the confessing time matched KJH&CSH's is very interesting and yes, they are.
White day will be 14 March 2019 in Korea, could we hope anything special?
13 hours ago, Far^away said:I finally watched Ep12 today and boy, what a rollercoaster ride it is!
We got a honey dripped 11th and bittersweet 12th! My heart couldn’t take it anymore ottokeeee
But two things that need clarification.
1. What incident is the uncle referring when he talked to JWS?
2. And what did KJH mean when he said ‘i had to control myself before’? *i’m getting pervert thoughts here*
And thinking along the line, I think they actually went to boom boom town already... In Cuba that is.
There’s few things implied by both of them that made me think that way. But in the end I also think the opposite (where I shared in the brackets)
1. Sleepy KJH at the airport (but he was tired since he came to Cuba before SH and didn’t get a good night sleep. SH seemed fresh anyway)
2. KJH naughty eyebrow and lip biting at basement (or he just want to have some kind of skinship since they already kissed lots and lots)
3. Their natural skinship without any reservation or awkwardness or even shyness. (But she seemed to have a knack of breaking romantic mood, according to him. Lol. Poor boy)
4. When SH told JH to go since it’s harder to sleep when he’s around. (Or his presence just make her fluttered?)
5. SH wasn’t even shy or awkward lying down together on the bed. (But she did say she can’t sleep because he was bothering her and he confirmed he was being a gentlemen.
6. She naturally pushed him off, without being red faced (but maybe she also pushed him before. Lol poor boy)
7. JH said don’t get excited and she was incredulous by his words (maybe she was shy?)
After watching Ep.10, I thought they might be as out of bracket. After watching Ep.11-12, I thought it might probable be as in your bracket.

And when that door bell rung, his smile, made me also think that he knew its Sh. Why? Maybe, with ms. Lee's foot condition, its impossible to go near the door bell, she will just made a call or ms. Lee is someone who don't patronize door bells. Or maybe, something that Ms. Lee said.
KJH's dad looked sensing things quites fast, we could notice from his facial expressions eg. Ramyeon at rest area news or door bell in ep.12
9 hours ago, bebebisous33 said:@nikir @gumtaek @Far^away @boredahjumma I doubt that JWS created that Co-CEO seat in order to help CSH so that he plans to give her all his shares from the start. IF so, why would he visit JH and warn him to stay away from his woman? Why would he say that CSH is not someone JH should date based on his social background and his age? Yes, he was nice and well-mannered, when he visited the PR-team but there were witnesses and he had to act as a good and nice Co-CEO, especially after JH has become the face of Donghwa hotel. He is arrogant and rude in front of JH alone because he doesn't want any witness. To me, in front of our hero, JWS shows his true color. Striking is that he used the incident with the Cuba Hotel to criticize CSH as she was not able to solve the crisis herself. I doubt that he has another scheme: giving her all his shares. If he had the intention, why hasn't it happened yet? What is he waiting for? Is it to prove that JH is not after CSH's money? But if this is his reason, why did he have to hurt her that way? Why did he ask to meet her often and ask her to eat for lunch? In this scene, we witness how he uses his position as Co-Ceo to interact with her, as from the episode 10 on, she had started disobeying his "invitations" (orders). He knew, he could no longer use his past relationship and his "love" in order to meet her. CSH had showed him that she didn't care for him at all: he waited for her for three hours... He was gracious enough (in his mind) to let her know that she could take her time but he, the prince charming per se, had been stood up...
He has the video evidence of his mother's involvement and he didn't use it to reveal what T. Group did. He used it for his own advantage. In his mind, the shares as Co-Ceo can make him look attractive. Don't forget that he uses his money to woo CSH all the time: the dress, the flowers, the expensive wine ... now the stakes are higher, as he knows that JH is even allowed to enter her house. JWS knows very well that even CSH's mother can not even enter that house. So far, only JMJ had that right. Here, he saw a man entering CSH's house and spending some time there. So more and more he sees that he is loosing his grip on CSH hence he uses her love for the hotel to tighten up the leash around CSH's neck.
I will be even bolder to express the assumption that JWS knew all along the way his mother set up a trap to Cha's family with the loan but since he had fallen in love with her at first sight, he wanted to have her and decided to play along with the game. He let her think that this was an arranged marriage, whereas in reality he wanted to possess her. I could definitely see a pattern due to the way he reacted with the Cuba crisis.
Totally agreed with your comments.
Ex-Husband is three-faced:
With CSH, he showed his "dog in the manger" when KJH appeared.
With KJH, he looked down and throw all faults to KJH why CSH has to face cruel situation while actually this ex-husband is the root cause of CSH's pains.
With Exhusband's mom, he pretended to sympatize CSH which made his mom act more cruel to CSH.
7 hours ago, jl08 said:She knew that there's no way that she could let a good man like KJH slip out of her life. She doesn't want to live in a cage again. It's now or never. It takes courage on her part too, to go against her MIL's and mum's wishes, knowing she'll need to face the full-blown wrath. KJH understood her courage, that's why he was so emotional because firstly, she showed that he's her priority and secondly, she's ready to face the possibility of losing Donghwa hotel, which is so precious to her. He's emotional because she risked everything for him.
"I'm in trouble. There's no exit now.
I'll never be able to escape from your charms"
Profound love indeed - she is ready to give up everything for him. He's ready to love her till the end (nami island).
I'm still tearing at their emotional hug.
I don't care. I want this drama to continue forever. I want the Cuba ORIGINAL balcony scene that we were deprived. And please PD Nim - we're all mature viewers and won't be shock at what you had intended to share in Cuba.
You don't remember? The urgency of their kiss of course....hands all over....... I hope there'll be a flashback on this....
Btw, I also love their conversation clarifying each other's 'imagination' about KJH's purpose in staying over during the chicken feet meal....plus KJH's pouted lips when CSH shoved him over saying he's too heavy.... lol.
I totally agreed with your comments about KJH and CSH, they are like this.

Great job with the timeline!
By the way, last week I had imagined that JWS might fly to Cuba in order to help CSH and I have to admit that I was wrong. However, his actions from this week proved to me that he is even worse than I had imagined.
He explains his action in the name of love... Love is his excuse. He loves CSH that's why he hurts her. This reminds me of an "abusive" spouse who beats his wife in the name of love. Sure, JWS was never violent and never hurt her physically. However, he knew that he would hurt her, when he joined the company. He knew that he would hurt her, when he faked the affair. He let CSH suffer, stigmatized as a woman who couldn't please her husband (even CSH's mother kept blaming her for that and I am sure, JWS's mother did the same thing). He has been hurting her mentally. He knew that his mother would harass his wife but he never stopped her. His behavior (bombarding her with gifts the next day) really reminds me of an abusive husband who wants to "redeem" himself with his expensive gifts. I couldn't help myself thinking of the movie with Julia Roberts (the enemy in my bed) that's why love can not be an excuse for his action. His mother might have punished CSH because she was considered as a commoner and she didn't love her son... When the mother described his son's love for CSH as pure, I almost chocked. "pure" because he had no sex with her or "pure" because he never showed his love? To me, his love was never pure because he was only thinking about himself and his needs/desire. In this drama, I have the impression that the writer wants us to see what true love is: selfless, caring about the other, willing to put his own desire behind and show respect to the partner, worrying about the other... JWS is never worried about CSH's pain.
Thank you so much for your analysis in this forum for days and weeks, they are very interesting to read and think.
For this comment, the ex-husband could be abusive no matter body or mind.
1 hour ago, stroppyse said:It's not clear how WS was able to convince the Directors who are friendly to SH to accept him as a co-CEO since a CEO level appointment is made by the Board of Directors, but I hope we'll find out more at some point. Right now, since WS seems to have used the near-failure of the Cuba hotel deal as the reason why SH needs a co-CEO, I'm still mad at his character, and I hope there was more than just that in terms of getting the other Directors to agree to let WS be co-CEO. If it was the Cuba hotel incident, then I definitely want WS and his mother brought down with revelations of how Chairwoman Kim actually created that sabotage rather than through any mis-steps from SH or her people.
The uncertainty is what WS is going to do now that SH has blown him and his family off, even more so once he realizes that she blew them off to be with JH. It should become clear to everyone that as important as the Donghwa Hotel is to SH, that JH is more important.
Anyway, I also think that they made love in Cuba. I'm with you in that there is no way those steamy kisses with 2 healthy adults who are mad for each other was going to stop and just sleep holding hands.
I think in Seoul, they are being more circumspect because of all those watching eyes that SH and JH are afraid will besmirch the other person. They are definitely in the mode where they want to protect each other. Also, they have many more people that they are answerable to, including JH's parents. While JH is an adult, he is still living at home, and his parents would be curious if he spent the night away from home.
I guessed the reasons why some directors voted for the ex-husband because this ex-husband invested with majority shares which he can change director seats upon the shareholding he held, those directors who would not like to be removed might vote yes for ex-husband.
In the board of directors, there were some objection from some directors but this group can not overcome.
For making love discussion, it stills at odds. Could we run to ask our KJH&CSH about this because they both only knew what is correct.

@NongpeeP I really hate WS right now, borrowing and tweaking words from Ray Charles; hit the road JWS and don’t you come back no more, no more , no more.
No joke, I am really hungry. I am going to go eat now.
@ahdrianaa I camped on no-no to this ex-husband, he have been using what his mom did for his own selfish, did more for his self-willed, and will do more for his self-centered.
7 hours ago, stroppyse said:Wow, WS has some nerve on him. He's using the fact that the Cuba hotel had gone into crisis, and then been resolved by a new employee rather than by SH herself as reasons why the hotel is actually too much for SH to handle alone. And, he knows that it's his mother's plotting that put the Cuba hotel into crisis in the first place. That is just low, low, low.
Until now, I've been defending WS as being mislead, but redeemable. I guess he's really his mother's son after all. Willing to do anything, no matter how reprehensible, if he can get what he wants. This isn't love any more. This is obsession that doesn't respect any boundaries.
Sorry. Just getting around to watching the episode now, and got infuriated at the excuse that WS uses to force his way into becoming the co-CEO of Donghwa Hotel.
Also, given WS' night time visit to JH to warn him off, JH knows that WS is there because of himself and SH, so now JH is going to feel some responsibility for making things even tougher for SH. Ugh.
@stroppyse This ex-husband has thoroughly considered to be an devil from head to toe.
This worst behavior has not just taken when he was "A dog in manger" but he let bad things be in CSH's life during marriage, during divorce, and after divorce by his mom with his acknowledgement and intended to use all CSH's obligations to control CSH.

And JWS thought, with the divorce contract CSH would never dare to miss attending the death anniversary. He came to this conclusion because she had been obedient all these years. And his action and words prove to me that he used the divorce contract to bind her to him. He knew everything and saw it as an opportunity not to release her entirely. So the divorce was just a facade, in his mind he was not really divorced. He is really twisted! Sorry but I can not stand him any longer.

I know im probably being dramatic over a drama
but what i'd like to add is that, once again our leads perfomed such an outstanding acting.
Seeing Soo Hyun suffocated again because WSook decided that it's time to go bananas, i'm literally hold my breath. how she repressed her frustation, made me frustated (give me my xanax). And how she made Saranghaeyo more than just a confession but comitment with her sublte expression, made me believe, she chose the right project for her and for me this is her best.
And Park Bo Gum absolutely immersed himself into Kim Jin Hyuk.. his surprised expression when i love you came suddenly, and how he choked his words in the last scene was.. hufttt
(again, where's my xanax)..
These two, for their outstanding acting performance deserve our supports. Keep hitting those like button till your finger hurts!!

I have just finished Encounter ep.11 with English Subtitle.
I can feel KJH's and CSH's love to each other. They are learning to understand each other more.KJH’s matching rings is the symbol of his promise to always be by CSH’s side and the ring can confirm CSH reality to have KJH, not just a dream.
When CSH discussed with Mr.Nam about Director Bad, they are like a mafia.
I appreciated KJH's dad who is blunt as CSH mentioned to KJH. KJH's dad said he trusts KJH but he wanna know KJH's thought about his tough love in order to consider whether to root on or to stop, KJH's dad directly told KJH his considering but not answer yet. I thought that KJH's dad might need to know CSH's thought(as he asked Manager to arrange meeting CSH) in order to complete his considering process. That's wise for a dad who loves his son and found out his son is in love with a woman in CEO position in a Chaebol’s shadow.
CSH saw how KJH's family is, she felt their family bonding which she has not.
For ex-husband who I will not remember his name, he asked one of Hotel's director to help him have co-CEO position in the hotel, such director who used to be a part of procuring CSH to be this ex-husband’s wife by persuading CSH’s dad that this ex-husband was not as badly as his family (still guilty from what ex-husband did to CSH and ashamed to face CSH’s dad)
This ex-husband declared the war with KJH with the word of love at first sight and he still loves.
From ep.11 and the preview, this ex-husband might try to be the knight on white horse to CSH about the hotel with his personal fund (money again), this time he did not prepare bag, shoes, dress, flower, luxury brands but the Donghwa hotel (is at risk by his mom and spy) that he thought CSH treasures. This Ex-husband wanna show KJH that KJH is not as rich as the ex-husband so KJH can not protect CSH as the Ex-husband is offering.

Watch: Park Bo Gum Sings A Sweet Serenade To Song Hye Kyo In “Encounter”
Park Bo Gum made many hearts flutter with his performance in the latest episode of “Encounter”!
The actor is currently starring as Kim Jin Hyuk in the tvN drama, with Song Hye Kyo playing his girlfriend Cha Soo Hyun.
In episode 11 that aired on January 9, Cha Soo Hyun woke up in the morning feeling embarrassed as she relived flashbacks of what she’d done the night before while drunk, when she hadn’t been able to control her feelings of love and affection for Kim Jin Hyuk. She had lovingly fed him and raved about all his handsome features before landing a kiss on his lips, which made him laugh. He smiled at her fondly after getting her in the car to drive her home, despite her protests.
As she sat on her bed looking mortified the next morning, her phone rang and she saw that it was Kim Jin Hyuk. She briefly steeled herself for the call before picking up and asking him, “Did you get home alright last night?”
In lieu of an answer, Kim Jin Hyuk began singing Kim Dong Ryul’s song “Drunken Truth.” In the lyrics to the song, the singer makes a drunken love confession, as the alcohol is acting as their liquid courage to say something they’d always wanted to say.
When he paused to hear her reaction, Cha Soo Hyun laughed and said, “Stop it, I remember everything.” He kept on singing with a big smile, and Cha Soo Hyun grinned as she listened to his serenade.
Eventually he got interrupted by his brother Kim Jin Myung (played by Block B’s P.O), who burst into the room to join him in the song. Kim Jin Hyuk said to Cha Soo Hyun over the phone, “I’ll sing the second verse later,” and hung up, which made her smile again.

SH wakes up from her drunk night, and JH teases her on the phone by serenading her. A translation underneath.
(SH remembers her drunken night in flashbacks)
SH: My Jin Hyuk, say “ahhh”.
JH: My Soo Hyun-shi should eat it.
SH: Eat it! (shoving it into his mouth, he chews) So nice. (me: this last line means that JH is being obedient)
SH: Aigoo, so pretty! Your eyes are pretty. And your lips look pretty, too. (kisses him while he laughs) So cute!
SH: Whyyyyy? If I get in, then we’re going for a second round, right?
JH: Oh, yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.
SH: Manager Nam (meaning Driver Nam), let’s go to the office.
(end flashbacks as SH keels over in embarrassment. SH gets a phone call from JH.)
SH: Oh, Jin Hyuk-sshi, did you get home okay last night?
JH: (singing) Okay, I don’t know if I might have been drunk. I don’t know if it was a mistake. When it’s morning, because I don’t remember at all, I don’t know if I’ll be worried. However, definitely, tonight, I have something to say to you. Even though I’m sorry for my weakened looks (me: while drunk), don’t think it was all just drunken nonsense.
SH: Stop it now. I remember everything.
JH: (still singing) Whenever, the words that I prepared to say when I’m in front of you come out the reverse of what I meant, I turn around and regret them. But now, I’ll confess to you that I loved you from the first. I love you like this. Even if my awkward words seem corny or unbelievable, for me, they’re not just words. Never again -
MH: (coming into the room singing) Never again…
JH: Second verse will be later. (hangs up)
(SH gets out of bed singing the song. LOL)So funny. Both SH's horrified flashbacks, but also JH calling her to tease her about her drunken behavior. However, his teasing is so sweet actually. I mean, SH in her drunken state had really just shown how attracted she was to him. And, JH knows that he loves her, so even though it's a tease, he's actually still singing that he loves her, and that he knows that she loves him regardless of how she embarrassed she might be this morning after. Plus, it's cute how he hangs up with a promise to sing the second verse to her later. LOL
@stroppyse Your translation made me smile from ear to ear till I have to lock my room to avoid my family members promptly open as same as KJH's little brother and thought that I am crazy to smile with screen.
37 minutes ago, stroppyse said:Okay, this is just so seriously romantic. The walk where JH gives SH the couple rings.
SH: What is this-? (finding a 35 mm film canister in his pocket)
(JH just mimes shaking the canister to her, so SH does, then opens it to find couple rings)
JH: Your mood has suddenly gotten better, hasn’t it?
SH: Very much so.
(JH puts a ring on SH’s finger.)
SH: It’s pretty.
JH: Once a year, I’ll upgrade it for you.
SH: How can you do that? You can’t change couple rings every year!
JH: Because it’s too different from my Cha Soo Hyun-nim’s jewelry. (meaning the ring is not as good as SH’s other jewelry)
SH: It is very different. (holds up her hand) This one is the absolute prettiest!
JH: Inside me, you fill me up completely. Unlike the friends that Cha Soo Hyun had liked, I can’t go far away or disappear. Since I am wholly Cha Soo Hyun’s. I, until the day that you sleep (meaning the day she passes away, until that day, I will protect you by your side.
(SH hugs him)
JH: In time, I’m going to do everything for you.
SH: I’m so excited!
JH: Shall we take a picture?
(SH nods, then puts a ring on JH’s finger.)
(Later, in SH’s closet, she starts to take the ring off, but stops herself. JH in his room has no intention of taking it off.)The couple rings in of themselves are sweet, and indicative of JH's regard of her and his desire that they be a couple. However, his words to her are even more than the ring. They convey love, respect, and a solid, unwavering support with a promise to never leave her side and to always be on her side, something that she's never had from anyone, not even her parents.
I think that's the last of the YT clips for me to translate and enthuse over for now.
Thank you again. When CSH got drunken, she showed her unsecure about KJH, that's the reason why KJH would like to give CSH the evidence of KJH's promise to be beside her.
Couple rings might ease CSH's mind with explicit symbol of their love and KJH's promising pledge.

@rosiepeonie188 KJH tapped CSH's knee made my imagination go wild from their intimacy.
1 hour ago, shaselai said:I do agree the ex-husband is doing this mostly due to jealousy. I know the drama timeline takes us after their divorce and afaik the catalyst to him chasing her aggressively is JH. I would root for him if he was trying to reconcile genuinely. He seems to try to reconcile so others cant have her. Also, he never tried to CORRECT the problems of their failed marriage. He is still using his mom's influence and money to win her over - nothing's changed!
@shaselai Ex-husband might be one of root cause for CSH's pain.
In ep.11, Ex-Husband has just started his chaebol's habbit by expressing his looking down to KJH in order to discriminate KJH to different league and his Chabol's manipulation might be coming soon.

Jealousy blinded you and you wen't over to the dark side!
================================
How is it possible for those kisses to keep getting better and better!
I feel like i have a vibrator stuck in my belly!
I cant work!
Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
@dukesa1122 Ex-husband 's "dog in the manger" habbit might be roused by KJH.
CSH had married for 2 years and has divorced for 4 years, Ex-husband does nothing before, I am not sure whether ex-husband's behavior could be called jealousy.
Your analysis is exactly as ex-husband is. I won't call this ex-husband's name because his appearance reminded me of what this ex-husband has done.
This ex-husband did nothing good for his wife during marriage, during divorcing, after divorcing...why do I have to remember his name
Ex-husband's recent looking down KJH made me feel anger boiling
(I don't like looking down behavior because of human's fate.)

of course we know that that scene was shot the 1st month in Cuba. And we know that they are just superb actors. Thats the whole point of what we are saying 
They are so believable, you cant help but close your eyes and remind yourself that they are just acting 
Maybe because I am binge watching BTS of that particular 2016 drama

Audiences have not watched KJH in this suit yet, right?
By the way, Encounter has no actor/actress guests; otherwise, could we hope for Kim Hye Soo to join.

Thanks to Hye Soo’s noona, both body and mind are warm.Thank you
