    An ep 12 preview translation

     

    JH: If for the sake of that person there is something to be endured, whatever that is, I won’t run away from it.
    Chairwoman: Since it’s turned out like this, I guess the only thing left is to finish taking care of the hotel.  (me: I think this refers to getting the hotel back from SH?)
    SH: Thanks to Jin Hyuk-shi, whatever fear is, I’ve gained strength.
    JH: I’m just here behaving so well, so what are you worried about? That’s too unfair. (me: LOL. Nice move.)
    WS: Between your bravery and my persistence, whichever side it is, will probably take of it.
    JH: I will protect that person according to my own ways.

     

     

    @stroppyse Thank you so much for your translation. From ep.1 to ep.11, not even a single second of my thought that ex-husband is okay, he is totally not okay as a man in Encounter and in CSH's life.

     

    Ex-husband's deaf and blind, what he heard from CSH herself about her relationship with KJH and what he saw KJH&CSH's relationship, reflected his self-centered and self-willed without caring others.  

     

    Why would CSH not be released from Ex-husband's mom's control, I thought that ex-husband is one of main reason of such control no matter CSH's deep suffering during marriage or after divorce.:angry:

     

    Ex-husband has expressed to CSH and KJH with the implication that Ex-husband can call CSH back at any time with his luxury gifts and hotel's intervention, KJH is out of their class, as Ex-husband has just looked down KJH in ep.11 :triumph:

    At the swings, they are having a cute argument about who is more considerate as a boyfriend and girlfriend. KJH whines that she doesn’t miss him as much as he misses her, he says he misses her and her face all the time. Then SH says that he doesn’t know how she was worried about him and his playground, so it’s actually him who is not familiar with her feelings.

    He smiles and pretends to huff then gets on his knees, he is beside her tapping her knee and says he is sorry. 

     

    This is so sweet. I am going to get diabetes!

     

    @ahdrianaa Thank you so much for your translations which made me understand what I watched live stream, today our KJH&CSH talked a lot till I scatched my head from not understand but I read your translations and match with my memory in each scene, this made me smile like crazy with delay. :D

     

    Are there anyone who feel as same as me that KJH tapped CSH's knee look very intimate, my imagination went wild with this scene? :kiss_closed:

    @ahdrianaa If most intimate & sexy action KJH do to CSH is tapping  CSH's knee, the most intimate & sexy action CSH do to KJH will be fondling KJH's neck&shoulder.:flushed:

  2. KJH's romantic couple rings to CSH&himself, lovely boyfriend :heart:

    after he bought his mom jewelry gift, good son.:thumbsup:

     

    (Chaumet might be SHK's CF but PBG's CF might be another brand so two rings worth 4,400 USD has been kept in simple film box without brand specification.)

  3. Drunken Truth lyric might mean CSH, rather than KJH

     

    You’re right, I may be drunk

    This may be a mistake

    When morning comes, I may act like I don’t remember

    And act uncomfortable around you

    But tonight there is something

    That I absolutely have to say

    I apologize for my current state

    But please don’t think that I am just saying this because I am drunk

    Whenever I am in front of you

    I prepare myself to say this

    But I always say the opposite thing

    Turn around and regret it

    But now I will declare to you

    That I have loved you from the start

    I love you so much

    Even if my sloppy declaration

    Seems corny or unbelievable

    It is not something I am just saying

    I’ll probably never do something like this again

    But as the night becomes light

    I will hold you in my arms once again

    And tell you that I love you

    Why are you just smiling?

    Do you hear this as a joke?

    Why are you not saying a word

    But looking at me as you would a child?

    Whenever I am in front of you

    I prepare myself to say this

    But I always say the opposite thing

    Turn around and regret it

    But now I will declare to you

    That I have loved you from the start

    I love you so much

    Even if my sloppy declaration

    Seems corny or unbelievable

    This isn’t something I say to just anyone

    I’m not that kind of man

    I feel as awkward as you do

    I can’t even look you in the eye

    I am sorry that I keep on saying

    The same things I was saying earlier

    But tonight I’ll tell you everything

    I love you so much

    Even if my sloppy declaration

    Seems corny or unbelievable

    It is not something I am just saying

    I’ll probably never do something like this again

    But as the night becomes light

    I will hold you in my arms once again

    And tell you that I love you

    I love you

    I read your comment about moms in Encounter. 

    In ep10, when KJH mentioned that the book he read is about missing no matter

    - from mom to daughter; or

    - from KJH to CSH .

    CSH’s facial expression looked misery like reminded of her mom who has never had mom-daughter feelings (includes missing) at all. 

     

     

    Count down another 2 hours for Encounter.

    ”Thank you so much for your lpve and Interest to Encounter”

    @nmgzlz I agree she had her fair share of chasing and I love the fact that she was the one who gave in this time. But you know, sometimes I just want to see her grab his hand and be the one who is needy. And by that time that she expressed how she loves him, he’ll spread kisses all over her tear-stained face and make all the pain go away. Sorry, it’s just the dramatic me. Haha

    @shyguitar

    Raise my hand to agree with your comment. From stepping back her feet in ep.3 to driving to Sokcho in Ep.9, would audiences be too greedy to wannna watch her gestures to express her love to him first, not just reacting back his?

     

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------

     

    By the way, I remembered a couple persons posted in this forum concerning about CSH's sleeping pill habbit. This sleeping pill point has not been raised from ep.4-ep.9 but our KJH has not forgetten about his beloved CSH.

     

    In ep.3, Mr.Nam concerned this sleeping pill and tried to limit the amount CSH will take. In addition to Mr.Nam's care about CSH's happiness, he also concerns CSH's health.

     

    In ep.10, during their first video call, KJH who cares about CSH's freedom and happiness, KJH also find the sensible way to suggest about sleeping pill with his concern. 

     

    Even KJH is younger than CSH but he cares about CSH's health and find the way to suggest, similar good intention as Mr.Nam who is like an uncle to CSH. :wub: 

    A nice boyfriend might act with caring like a dad/an uncle to his girlfriend. 

    If Mr.Nam knows about this  KJH's sleeping pill suggestion to CSH reflecting his care with all about CSH thoroughly, he must give KJH stronger green light. :kiss_wink:

     

    ps. From the word

    - women are always attracted to 'versions of their fathers'

    CSH's dad always ask whether she has eaten, is tired, stays healthy.

    CSH's dad gave CSH a poem book, as same as KJH gave CSH. Both CSH’s dad and KJH loves reading.

    So, I tried following everyone’s example and rewatching everything. Unfortunately, I don’t have too much time so I was satisfied with just clips for now. One conversation that struck me was in episode 3 when Mr Nam and JH were coming back from Sokcho. Mr Nam told him not to worry about her as she was used to being alone and he responded by asking whether she was truly used to it or was enduring it. Honestly, if the dad had eavesdropped on that conversation, he would probably be planning their wedding now. I also think with that one sentence, JH turned Mr Nam’s ship into full blown support because JH was proving 

     

    1) how much he already cared about her at that point to the point of being worried

    2) how much he had already figured her out even though they hadn’t known each other for long

    3) how invested he would be in her happiness ie, she would in good hands with him.

     

     

    @nmgzlz

    Mr. Nam who have cared CSH since she was a little kid would impress with KJH's care for CSH from "whether she was truly used to it or was enduring it" and also proven in the explicit action by KJH's exposing himself in the lobby for CSH.

    I think that's right. SH's father has shown her that he's thinking of her rather than just trying to use her for his own gains, unlike SH's mother. And, SH's father has a reasonable point as well. It's not easy for a normal person to all of a sudden deal with the scrutiny and the negative comments, especially if it starts pulling in and affecting his family. However, JH is level-headed enough that he does understand the risk and is willing to still go for it.

     

    I think the time off was really a lack of communication, but one that was driven by concern and consideration, so I'm glad that JH and SH were ultimately able to talk it out.

     

    Also, I think the fact that Driver Nam approves of JH should carry some weight with SH's father, since Driver Nam and SH's father go way back to when they were both journalists. I'm happy to see SH's father finally meet JH. They'll get a chance to connect, I think, and gives SH's father a chance to take the measure of JH, and see the man who is making his daughter come alive.

     

    @stroppyse

    I thought that KJH&CSH's time off let them thoroughly consider oneself whether each of them is  okay to have no another party in order to exchange with no futher impact/problem from their relationship.

     

    Several lovers who face some problem of being a couple and asks to take a break, they might find out that spending life without such problem is happier. Therefore, such time off for some lovers could be permanently broken up. This might be as  @shyguitar mentioned above. 

     

    Actually KJH's dad and CSH's dad are very meaningful to KJH and CSH as their life's advisor.

     

    - CSH's dad cares for CSH's happiness. Mr.Nam as a closed friend who CSH's dad can trust Mr.Nam's comments for CSH's happiness. 

    - KJH's dad guides KJH with wise thoughts since KJH was a kid and those words has absorbed to be a part of KJH's thougtfulness and determination.

    In ep10, when HI showed KJH's dad the magazine as KJH asked her to send but KJH's dad mentioned "KJH's deed might be a part of his job but KJH is lucky to be well recognized" which it could be a fact of any frontdesk's job. 

     

    In coming episodes, audiences would see CSH's dad meet KJH, I am looking forward to watching this scene too. However, I am wondering

     

    Question 1: whether ex-husband would join this meeting or not because the still picture last week, we saw 4 men in CSH's life with smile? 

    Spoiler

    49199901_1005381129645464_48384539351045

    Question 2: Plus, KJH will tell his intention about CSH to KJH's dad and what is KJH's reaction?

    So when JH met Samuel for the second time, he remembered him because KJH had told him that the love of his wife was still existent, although she had died. But when Samuel read the letter, he noticed that KJH mentioned that the playground represented memories with the woman he loved. Moreover, he knew that KJH was just a simple employee (reservation office desk) due to the magazine... he is not someone from the higher up. No normal worker would spend the night in a garden like that, even dare to trespass the property. Only someone in love would do that... and since the garden meant so much for the CEO, Samuel could imagine that KJH would do such a bold move only for her. 

     

     

    @bebebisous33

    Totally agreed with this assumption too.

     

    By the way, this twitter mentioned that taxi with classic car charged 27 USD per hour.

    From BTS, KJH and CSH will have dating around Havana by this taxi.

  11. From Still pictures, it is very interesting for this coming episode when Kim Jin Hyuk will meet Cha Soo Hyun's dad because her dad is the one she really cares, not her mom.

    In Episode 9, when CSH's dad mentioned he was not sure whether KJH could bear this gossip, cruel words, and that Chaebol's manupulation, it might be one of influencial factors CSH's decision to ask for a break from KJH&CSH's relationship because her dad's word meant so much to her reasoning.

     

    What is the result of this meeting between KJH and CSH's dad in coming episode?

    Park Bo Gum Meets Song Hye Kyo’s Father For 1st Time On “Encounter”

     

    https://www.soompi.com/article/1289273wpp/park-bo-gum-meets-song-hye-kyos-father-1st-time-encounter

     

    tvN’s “Encounter” has revealed an exciting sneak peek of its upcoming episode!

    On January 8, the drama unveiled new stills of Kim Jin Hyuk (played by Park Bo Gum) meeting his girlfriend Cha Soo Hyun (Song Hye Kyo)’s father for the very first time.

    In the newly released photos, Kim Jin Hyuk unexpectedly runs into Cha Soo Hyun’s father Cha Jong Hyun (played by Moon Sung Geun) in the lobby of the Donghwa Hotel. Although the encounter takes him by surprise, Kim Jin Hyuk appears calm and pulled-together as he offers Cha Jong Hyun a friendly handshake and a warm smile. Cha Jong Hyun responds with a small smile of his own, wearing an attentive gaze that clearly betrays his interest in his daughter’s new boyfriend.

    The stills also show Nam Myung Shik (played by Go Chang Suk), who has always been an active and enthusiastic supporter of Kim Jin Hyuk and Cha Soo Hyun’s relationship, happily looking on as the two men meet for the first time.

    The next episode of “Encounter” will air on January 9 at 9:30 p.m. KST.

    Thanks for shining light in my tunnel with this pic. From acquaintance to close noona-dongsaeng buddies - these two are really adorable! Their smile just lights everyone up, what more when they're doing passionate scenes! We'll surely feel the earth move under our feet!

    I wonder how many wefies PBG has after "Boyfriend" is done....I'm so glad that he has had a chance to work with Kyo and she with him too. Both complement each other so adorably, on screen and off screen. The way they conducted their video call in ep 10 is so natural as if it's their normal way of talking to each other, in that teasing, smiling and casual mode.

    Just looking at their smile is enough to put a smile on my face to tie over till Wed nite.  :D

     

    I wonder how many takes were there for the balcony steamy kiss scene? I believe they would have discussed the level of intimacy. Yes, I did notice the red ears in Seoul and in Cuba during those kissing scenes.....definitely can't be due to any climate change.   :D

     

    @jl08

    When I watched Encounter's BTS ep.9-10, I wanna shout where are our Kim Jin Hyuk and Cha Soo Hyun,

    whom I saw are Naughty&Cheerful Park Bo Gum and Playful&Smiley Song Hye Kyo. 

     

    We could also feel the dirty of uncleaned bed sheet Kim Jin Hyuk was trying to find the doll.

    May I request please dont mention anything related to their personal life or anything outside of this drama coz it really ruins the momentum of viewers like me. I am asking for consideration bec I’m still having the feel of this drama and I want it to linger some more til this drama ends. Sorry if I offended anyone.

    I saw some articles saying that the drama is carried by PBG and didn’t like it. It takes so many things to produce a drama that resonates with the audience and if a male character is carrying the show alone then just shoot him alone, can’t we? *snickers* Sorry i just had to say this out loud. 

     

     

    The proportion of male lead and female lead in Encounter is amazingly balanced by scriptwriter, PD, and crews.

    Both Park Bo Gum and Song Hye Kyo plays very important roles to Encounter as we could consider that the key theme is about 2 main leads from different world encounter to create boyfriend/girlfriend relationship, in addition to all Casts&Crews.

    4 Things We Loved & 2 Things We Hated About Episodes 9 And 10 Of “Encounter”

    Jan 7, 2019
    Spoiler

     

    Now that “Encounter” is back on, we’re excited to see where the love between Soo Hyun and Jin Hyeok will go. Are they destined to be doomed, or will the pair be able to surpass the strains of social class and end up together? Here’s a look at four things we loved and two things we hated about this past week’s episodes.

    Warning: Spoilers for Episodes 9 and 10 of “Encounter” below!

    HATED: The blatantly obvious product placement

    Because I’m enjoying the drama so much, I let the first few times pass, but it’s just getting ridiculous now. You can’t get through an episode without even a few blatant advertisements. These product placements sometimes take away from the fantasy world that us viewers get sucked into.

    Spoiler

     

    encounter-2.pngencounter-3.png

    And of course, what’s a K-drama without the mention of Subway?

    encounter1.pngencounter-11.png

    Subway. Is. Everywhere

     

    .

    HATED: The inevitable breakup

    We knew it was coming. The tension building up to Jin Hyeok and Soo Hyun’s highly public relationship was bound to make Soo Hyun want to take a break from Jin Hyeok. But did we know that it would break us seeing Jin Hyeok so heartbroken?

    Spoiler

    encounter-1.png

    LOVED: How happy Jin Hyeok was to see Soo Hyun by the sea

    At this point in the episode, Jin Hyeok is wallowing in his misery as he continues to be on a “break” from Soo Hyun. He’s able to adjust living in Sokcho, but he still can’t help but miss her.

    So when Soo Hyun shows up in Sokcho and makes a surprise visit to see Jin Hyeok, he’s obviously ecstatic. He can hardly contain himself and he runs up to her like a long lost puppy! It was seriously adorbs.

    Spoiler

    encounter2.pngencounter-12.png

    LOVED: Going back to Cuba (and the cinematography)

    I loved the setting of the first episode, which took place in Cuba. The country is so beautiful and makes for an enchanting backdrop to this romantic story! So when the characters embark on a trip back to where they first met, I was totally excited. Mainly because I knew it would add to the already romantic adventure that the two are on.

    Spoiler

     

    encounter3.pngencounter-13.pngencounter-21.pngencounter-31.png

    Gorgeous, right?!

     

     

    LOVED: The tears of happiness

    When Soo Hyun is running around Cuba trying to find Jin Hyeok, she finally stumbles across the note that he left her at the cafe they were supposed to meet at back when they first met. While she reads the note and starts to miss Jin Hyeok even more, she turns around and sees him in front of her.

    encounter4.pngencounter-14.png

    LOVED: The “I love you”

    It finally happened – Jin Hyeok has finally professed his love for Soo Hyun, and what better way than for it to happen in Cuba.

    encounter-4.png

    That romantic moment which then led to the kiss.

    Although the kiss scenes are hard to get by without thinking about Song Joong Ki, it isn’t as bad as I thought it would be. Maybe it’s because Park Bo Gum is doing such a great job of carrying the series that it’s easy to get over. I can’t wait to see this romance progress in the episodes to come!

     

    binahearts is a Soompi writer whose ultimate biases are Song Joong Ki and BIGBANG.

    look at their smiles here.  we are smiling while looking at them too. how innocent face and genuine smile in their behind the scene.  And can compare with  their balcony kiss scene  when they act as couple ,this is called solid acting. How great their acting is!  They shows lovely visual, great chemistry and solid acting.

     

     

     

    @dahae2006

    Totally agreed. PBG&SHK are real actor/actress who acts amazingly,

    their real gesture are totally different from their roles and

    their interaction in real life to each other is different to their characters they are portraying. 

     

    BTS of ep 9-11 made me remind that Kim Jin Hyuk and Cha Soo Hyun have been created and totally different from Park Bo Gum and Song Hye Kyo.

     

     

    In real life, Park Bo Hum looked quite young with very polite manner

    (PBG has signature acts eg. salute, surprise, smile which are different from Kim Jin Hyuk’s ) and PBG’s act to Song Hye Kyo Sunbaenim in respectful way.

     

    Song Hye Kyo Sunbaenim looks playful, mature with young face , comfortable and easy to approach. 

     

    PBG and SHK in real life looked like

    - a matured sister who is kind and works with mentorship to the younger brother; and

    - a little brother who respects and admires this sister so much.

    (when SHK started career, PBG was just 2 years old...haha...SHK’s sucessful acting experience is close to almist PBG’s age.)

    KJH and CSH disappeared.

     

    Long Kiss scene might be filmed almost the last working day in Cuba after PBG&SHK were familar at a certain level.

    It is funny and surprising to see Park Bo Gum be cheerful after finishing his acting in such long kiss scene, yes he has just finished this acting job’s another scene with uttermost, that’s an actor. 

     

    I wanna watch SHK’s interview after this almost last scene in Cuba too.

    @NongpeeP, Sorry for the late response to your post. First, I have to say that I enjoyed reading it.  Also, I agree that it is realistic for a business decision to be made on 'qualitative preferences'. Anyone who has ever purchased a dog/pet from a quality breeder, soon realizes that the breeder is interviewing you in their own way to ensure that the pet is going into a good home because they think of their pets as a member of their family. The same in the case of the garden owner. It is realistic to think that he would want such a precious garden to go to someone who will also cherish it.

     

    In my comment below (not sure why it has your name):

     

    I say only in a K-drama, because it is very unrealistic to believe that an entry level employee like Jin Hyuk who had been exiled would be privy to business discussions and issues related to the acquisition of this property....way above his pay grade.  It is unrealistic that Jin Hyuk would have been given the sole responsibility as a new employee of heading up the year end party. It is also unrealistic that the CEO would announce before a room of employees that she's in some type of relationship with one of their peers. I also didn't understand how the garden owner could just jump to the conclusion that Jin Hyuk was in love with the CEO by reading a letter that Jin Hyuk wrote that solely focused on the garden and his sentimental value for the neighborhood park.  

     

    The thing that I found absolutely, hands down unbelievable was Jin Hyuk composing a legible letter using Google Translator---:lol::lol::lol:  I can't tell you how many laughs we've had on threads after using Google Translator to translate written previews.

     

    It's only in k-dramas that the unbelievable becomes believable and the believable becomes unbelievable. That is the beauty of K-dramas, it breaths life into our fantasies (sometimes too much life).  I'm glad that they are making Jin Hyuk appear very helpful to Soo Hyun, making him a man that she can depend on, a man who can help her. Otherwise, it looked like a worldly woman dating a young boyish man.  Especially when you have her ex-husband who looks manly and capable (despite being controlled by his mother) of now protecting her.

     

    I still want him to become a world renowned photographer. 

     

    @lclarakl

    The blue letter has been written by me but the quote with my name is not by me, it might be some system error.

     

    What I mentioned in blue letter, I meant that Kim Jin Hyuk can achieve garden's owner's emotional issue because

    - KJH understood the precious place; 

    - KJH knew why the garden owner is concerned about this garden from ep1;

    - KJH apologized and confirmed this hotel group's and CEO's intention to ease this garden owner's mind.

     

    From your mentioned points, could I add mine as follows:

    - an entry level employee like Jin Hyuk who had been exiled would be privy to business discussions and issues related to the acquisition of this property....way above his pay grade.

     

    Me: Agreed. This Kdrama's scriptwriter let KJH bruntly do without any permission and not telling CSH(CEO) too. KJH mentioned to garden owner that it is his personal reason why he wanna let this hotel in Cuba project on.

     

    - It is unrealistic that Jin Hyuk would have been given the sole responsibility as a new employee of heading up the year end party.

     

    Me: Agreed. This Kdrama's scriptwriter let KJH propose this mask theme, Director Kim PR agreed and ask KJH to draft the concept. The story skipped the detailed preparation parts by the whole PR team. 

     

    - It is also unrealistic that the CEO would announce before a room of employees that she's in some type of relationship with one of their peers.

     

    Me: Agreed. Kdrama world has this kind of incidents here and there with reasonable background.

    In Encounter, CSH is like a celebrity who has been in the limelight/news as same as a singer/actress, she has paparazzi before meeting KJH.  In Ep1, Secretary Jang mentioned CSH's eating sashimi has been taken to the news. CSH's attending ex-mother-in-law was on the news.

    Therefore, CSH's dating would closely followed by the news reporter too, it is hard to avoid answering the questions with high pressure&newsreporter's asking technique by throwing fake info to let CSH correct. 

     

    PBG-sashimi.jpg

     

    - I also didn't understand how the garden owner could just jump to the conclusion that Jin Hyuk was in love with the CEO by reading a letter that Jin Hyuk wrote that solely focused on the garden and his sentimental value for the neighborhood park.  

     

    Me: I did not understand too so I rerun several times in order to explore whether I missed any words in the letter or in conversation which made me not understand this garden owner's presumption of KJH&CEO as lovers. I can not find any clue from my several reruning.

     

     

    EUREKA !!!  Your comment made me find one convincing assumption, 

    the Garden Owner saw KJH's picture in the magazine, he knew that KJH is just a frontdesk in a hotel chain in this large Dong Hwa hotel group, this Donghwa hotel group will not let this frontdesk man to negotiate about this crisis of the important project in Cuba.

    In addition, this garden owner recognized KJH as an invader to this garden in ep1, KJH is just a young boy who enjoyed taking a photo.

     

    Why did KJH(Frontdesk man) take a critical risk to pursue this Cuba Hotel deal without permission with all possible ways he could, no matter

    1. Fly from Korea to Cuba; 

    2. Invade to the garden straight with baggage;

    3. Sleeping overnight to wait

    4. Writing the letter with informal explanation mentioned about KJH's playground with memory of beloved woman and CEO's strong intention to protect this garden (not mention any other position in this company)

    5. If this Cuba Hotel deal resulted in failure and the Donghwa hotel group found out the fact that KJH did this actions without permission, KJH could be sued for damages. 

     

    The garden owner got this weird clue and guessed whether KJH's beloved woman and the one&only female CEO he mentioned in the letter is the same person; therefore, KJH dared to take this disapproving risk with nerve-racking actions for the CEO.

    - The thing that I found absolutely, hands down unbelievable was Jin Hyuk composing a legible letter using Google Translator---:lol::lol::lol:  I can't tell you how many laughs we've had on threads after using Google Translator to translate written previews.

    @NongpeeP I just hope everyone in encounter stays healthy and strong, can't imagine if they know how mean people comments out there. I don't know pbg' twitter account, but on shk's ig you will find many many hateful comments towards her, however let's support this drama, as shk's have said " good drama will be watched someday."

     

    Maybe they don't want to watch today, but someday they will try to watch it, maybe they say it is boring but this drama will be remembred for next few years because the reverse role, becauce the different character of the male lead who doesn't need money or power to protect the one he loves, because the experienced and brave female character who tell the whole world that they are in "some relationship" because the poetry, the cinematography, the painting, simbolsm, because the love of a friend. 

     

    So someday if there is another kdrama which has reverse role, which has balance character between the male lead and female lead, which tells you how love comes slowly from the first meeting till hot steamy kissing. You know what drama which start it all.

     

    Fighting encounter :wub:

     

     

    @krisan

     

    For Korean Dramas, there are many genres for different target groups of audiences.

    Each genre can not serve all groups of audiences, that is just another facts we could anticipate.  

     

    - No drama can serve all audiences’ preference.

    - Working on any acting projects esp. with hallyu stars will be on spot to be analyzed and criticized.

     

     

    For recent on-air dramas, I am not watching any others and I do not understand why other audiences like those formula repeating theme or fierce life or too fantasy genre. 

    However, I have not given negative comments to other dramas because I am busy with rerunning Encounter, searching about Encounter, and joining this forum.

     

    Over 2 years Park Bo Gum got acting project offers in dramas and films but he chose Encounter. Song Hye Kyo chose Encounter after 3-year break and marriage.

    I used to wonder why and I even used to be one of no-no audiences to Encounter. 

     

    However, now I really appreciate Park Bo Gum, Song Hye Kyo, their agencies to have unmet visions to choose Encounter and portray with their utmost. 

     

    Last but least, Encounter is great in all aspects:

    - Quality:::

    Fresh story, thorough script, challenging roles to the main leads, increase, increase brand value in acting careee to PBG&SHK (acting in difficult-to-believe role contradict to real life) ; and 

    - Commerciality::::

    got high rating in cable, can sell copyright in over 100 countries (very popular in Chinese), and 

    securing more CFs to PBG&SHK,

     

    that’s all we (Encounter’s fans) can dream of.

    Im confused about the balcony kiss. Why did they insert it when it was supposed to be the next day clothes they were wearing? Am I the only one thinking that PD-nim made a mistake of adding that in? I mean he couldnt have fooled us into believing that the kiss from after JH said I love you progressed to the balcony, right? What with all the magical powers we have at zooming in and making gifs of their kisses. Their clothes were different!

     

    @dukesa1122

    KJH and CSH would have probably stayed in Cuba for several days, their clothes would change.

     

    KJH might arrive Cuba on Friday morning and went to meet the coordinator to ask sending his letter to the garden owener but such coordinator denied because of garden owner's dissatisfaction. 

    That's why KJH had to invade and sleep in the garden in order to attempt meeting the garden owner next day(Saturday).

     

    From the scene Secretary Jang booked the flight, CSH might arrive Cuba in Saturday morn and even after the garden owner accepted apology, CSH might have to stay in Cuba for days till working day for the coordinator in Cuba to deal the contract with tons of clauses among three parties (DongHwa, Cuba Coordinator, and Garden Owner)

     

    KJH has taken days leave so both of them could be in Cuba for several days till the contract with garden owner has completely done.:love:

    I've been re watching Encounter for God knows how many times. But after the hot-steamy-i love you confession-kisses, yeoksi.. Park Bo Gum-Ssi and Song Hye Kyo-Ssi, you two are skillful, gifted actors.

     

    Using PBG hair as the hint, all the PBG long curly hair in korea scenes, must be one of the initial shots (PBG in library, doing part time jobs, hang out with Dae Chan and Hye In at moon snail cafe, having conversation with Hye In at the playground, and asking question about Cha Soo Hyun -the ice princess- while actually they haven't shot the Cuba Encounter scenes).

     

    In episode 2, JH's hair is already short. When JH and SH eyes were met at the new empoyees meeting, JH looked awkward and shy, while SH stared at him in wonder.. I mean, THEY ALREADY SHOT THE LONG HOT STEAMY HUNGRY kissing scenes!

    and they have to go back to the stage of 'having a crush'.. and as the story goes they started to develop deeper feeling, which means they express their feeling by gaze, stare, smile, all the facial expession and body language, while again, they already shot that hungry kissing scene in Cuba!

    Unless PBG using hair extention in some scenes, for me they have nailed all the right emotion stages, even with those leap of scenes.

     

    Oh Wednesday, please come faster.. can't wait to see JinSoo going around Cuba, as their relationship sealed with a kiss! I mean kisses.. steamy kisses:wub:

     

    @rosiepeonie188 Your observation is interesting, plan on filming and editing is thorough.

    Park Bo Gum's and Song Hye Kyo's acting with switched time in Encounter and real time in filming are challenging indeed but both of them can nail the roles.

     

    Let rerun and think about the filming has not been sequentially done but skipping here and there between 2 strangers and 2 lovers, Thump up PBG&SHK indeed. :thumbsup:

    Oh..I'm aware of that. I'm just amazed by how he did so (something he stays away from in Reality). Makes me more proud that he takes his job seriously (he's always had anyway).:)

     

    @dukesa1122 on your first point, I thought that too that JH wanted to make a move but that lady ruined it. <_<

     

    @mellinadear

    From Park Bo Gum's acting projects no matter the supporting roles to the lead roles, he has worked with utmost no matter as a rookie or hullyu stars, acting is Park Bo Gum's profession.

     

    In Encounter, in addition to Kim Jin Hyuk's being drunk, drinking coffee, Kim Jin Hyuk have also showed stuborn and strong reaction with fierce facial expressions to the much older ladies as CSH's ex husband mom in the press conference and CSH's mom in Sokcho, which Park Bo Gum in real life will act in very mannerly polite way. He also changed the way of speaking to be slower with slightly short pause from thorough thoughts before speaking ,the way of kissing, and also the way of walking to be sharp. His fans can proud of. :thumbsup:

     

    For Song Hye Kyo, I rerun Encounter and found out that she changed her facial expressions to be very subtle in early episodes to the level that audiences could feel uncomfortable for CSH's careful actions. In later episodes, CSH by Song Hye Kyo showed her hesitation here and there to express her feeling eg. answered KJH's question whether she was glad to see him on New Year or not, tried Video call.  I appreciated Song Hye Kyo and her fans can be proud of too. :star:

    Chingus,  Do you notice that Jin Hyuk always made a cute smack before or after a heart fluttering kissing scene. It is kinda cute. After the first kissing scene in the balcony, in the masquearde party , Jin Hyuk made a smack to SH lips and the sound is noticeable. With the Morro Cabana sweet kissing scene, he gave first a smack with the cute sound again to prepare CSH, to make them both relax before the long and time stopping kiss. Did you just notice that, when KJH makes a smack it is so lovely and cute. I just remember the PDnim telling that he let the two top stars act freely with these kind of scenes. Well, PBG and SHK are geniuses in thinking of this way to prepare them both. :wub::wub::wub:

     

    @Glycie Manongsong

    Your observation is interesting because Kim Jin Hyuk by Park Bo Gum and Cha Soo Hyun by Song Hye Kyo created this fresh style of kisses to the characters. :kiss_wink:

     

    -------------------------------------------------

     

    By the way, I read about Encounter's rating in Korea which is very high for Cable channel; however, some might need higher.

     

    I understand high expectation because we can realize how great this Encounter has been acted by Park Bo Gum and Song Hye Kyo, written by scriptwriter, directed by PD, produced by Crews&Casts. Anyway, this is just rating for particular measurement for Cable in Korea, Encounter's merits are much more. 

     

    The more I watched Encounter and realize the superb quality in every features in this drama, I am very ever happy that Park Bo Gum is in this project after 2-year break for study and I am happy for Song Hye Kyo to choose this project after her marriage. Encounter could be their turning point to let audiences perceive these both hallyu stars's acting elements. 

     

    After I have watched Korean dramas for 4-5 years, I found out that there are many genre of K-dramas, each has the different target groups: 

    Some with familiar theme might attract the housewife/househusband; 

    Some with formula popularity might attract wide groups;

    Some with fresh theme might attract teenagers/working ages/older age with revolution

     

    In addition to target audiences, the result to the actors/actresses might not be in the similar flow with the drama rating.

    Some high rating drama with formula popularity theme might not create brand value to actors/actresses, after the drama ends, nothing better to such actors/actresses. 

     

    Futhermore, some high rating with formula popularity drama does not challenge actor/actress's acting skill to sharpen lead actor/lead actress's saw because such actor/actress act as he/she used to. 

     

     

    These reasons above made me glad the most that

    1. Encounter with fresh theme and leisurely absorbing pace has been delivered with amazing quality; and 

    2. Park Bo Gum and Song Hye Kyo have been praised for their uttermost acting.

    Park Bo Gum's and Song Hye Kyo's strong credential and immerse popularity in the entertainment world has been well recognized in Korea and in other countries.  

     

    Quoted from Lollypop's comments in dramabeans

     

    One thing I really love about this show is that it could so easily go makjang, but it never does. Soo-hyun and Jin-hyuk face a lot of opposition for a lot of different reasons, but those reasons are all realistic ones that I can see a couple like them facing in the real world. Nothing comes across as overblown or unnecessarily dramatic, and nobody puts on crazy histrionics. (Except maybe Soo-hyun’s mother, but even she never makes me think, “Pfft, nobody would really act that way.”) Even when the stakes Soo-hyun and Jin-hyuk face are high, they’re presented as realistically high, and I can even understand each of their opposers’ justifications for asking them to please reconsider whether this relationship is a good idea. I didn’t even feel that their decision to take a break was unnecessary or just thrown in to create tension — things are getting tough, and it was smart to take a step back to evaluate their feelings and see of they’re strong enough to risk them both getting hurt. Now they know that being apart is too painful, which will hopefully make them that much stronger.

    The kiss, which went on for about a minute and 20 seconds, became the talk of the town immediately after the end of the drama and both actors received praise for their passionate acting.

    I have been a BG fan for years now and he still surprises me.

     

    Most of us who are his fans know he doesn't drink (alcohol) but he drank beer in this drama.

    He doesn't also drink Coffee but he did (I wanted the camera crew to zoom in to his cup to see at some point LOL).

     

    .

    During kiss scenes, I have noticed that the PD loves to allow the viewers hear the "Smack" sound  before he dulls it with music.

    New year party (second kiss before they hugged)

    Car kiss.

    Cuba kiss (before the long kiss).

    Balcony kiss (at the start of it, you can hear it).

     

    @mellinadear

    Kim Jin Hyuk's character has been created in this K-drama world, he has different features from Park Bo Gum.

     

    Kisses in Encounter are very romantic and express the feeling of lovers. KJH kissed CSH with mutual reaction, looked her eyes how she felt, kissed her again with her higher emotional reaction.

    JH appears powerful and manly because he expresses himself a lot... like for example "his greed has no limit" and he starts hugging CSH from behind. He tells her what he wants to do and waits for CSH's answer. She turns around and hugs him showing him that she is okay with it. Then in the episode 10, he complains that she has never told him how handsome he was. CSH has never learnt that expressing herself can have a good impact on the partner. JH is actually teaching her about that. That's why JH shows her after getting praised for his good looks, he feels loved and recognized. JH, although younger, is much more experienced and wiser than her. The reason is his knowledge of books. Books and indirectly words influenced him so much. He could gather knowledge and wisdom, therefore he used his books and words to woo CSH, while JWS keeps using gifts (flowers, dress, rings) to impress her. 

    JH's behavior contrasts so much with JWS's behavior. JH tells her how he thinks and feels but he still respects her decision. Although our protagonist was hurt, when CSH asked him to keep their distance from each other for a while, JH accepted it. On the other hand, JWS keeps ignoring CSH's words and actions. CSH clearly expresses that she will never go back to him (episode 3, 9) and even how she views her ex-husband as weak man but JWS acts as if he was deaf. the ex-husband thinks that CSH will change her mind. He underestimates CSH's love for JH. In his eyes, since JH is a commoner, he is not worthy of CSH. He congratulated her for the good article and review but overlooked that JH's action was the reason for that. JH is someone below him and CSH. Imagine his feelings, when CSH totally ignores him and lets him wait for three hours. JWS thought, he is entitled to have CSH's visit. JWS needs to learn on the hard way that he is nothing compared to JH. That's why I am looking forward for JWS's meddling in the hotel business. I hope, JH can show him his skills. CSH is gradually changing as well... she is learning not to keep everything to herself.

    On the other hand, I hope that JH learns to confide more and more about his own struggles. It was hard to see how JH kept smiling, while he was hurting. CSH knew that very well that's why she asked HI about it. However, JH hadn't said anything to her. Since JH has been taught to act strong and responsible as his parents were working hard, I think, at some point he needs to show his vulnerability in front of CSH, when the latter is strong enough to fight for both of them. Until now, JH knew that CSH would worry so much hence he couldn't tell her everything, too afraid that she might run away.

    @bebebisous33

    Totally agreed with your comments about ex-husband, in addition to his deaf, he is also blind too because he did not hear what CSH told and did not see what KJH&CSH expressed their love each other while this ex-husband has heard and seen KJH&CSH's being together several times with his own eyes, plus more info from this ex-husband's secretary and detectives. 

     

    I wondered one point: Dog in the Manger?! 

    without KJH in CSH's life, would ex-husband ever try to pursue CSH again or not. This husband might let CSH live with assumption that she will not be with any other guy.

     

    This might not be ex-husband's love but it is just the sense of posession by a chaebol's son who used to own almost all things. A person used to belong to him, such person should not belong to others forever, similar mindset as Ex-husband's mom who thought that CSH will be under her family's control for the rest of her life after divorce. 

     

    For KJH, I totally agreed with your comment as follows

    "I think, at some point he needs to show his vulnerability in front of CSH, when the latter is strong enough to fight for both of them."
