@gumtaek oh SHK said that at the PC? If it's a cute love story,then can I imagined that they will have cute little JH n SH running around the garden with their mom n dad staring from a far,smiling happily

Here he is, our handsome boyfriend switched on the light

 

Yeah, that right there is a main switch in an old-fashioned terminal box (maybe I did learn something from stepdad after all).  I have a somewhat similar one on the outside of my old house to switch on some outside lights.

@thistle: In tbe Eng subbed episode I watched, the translation of Samuel haraboji's line was: The love began here and was COMPLETED here." (Not ended)

I take it as a foreshadowing of the ending.

 

When the 2nd Cuban encounter took place in Episode 10, I felt a bit uneasy. I was predicting it was going to be the ending...so I worried about it.....

 

It was a line that particularly struck me from the first time I saw the first episode, and I thought that surely it was a foreshadowing that the love would find a place in the garden.  
 

I've seen several KDramas with really very bad endings in the past few months, so I am feel un-trusting of any KDrama ending right now but I very much want to believe in the goodness of this one and I am hoping for the very best "completion" of JH/SH love story.

[gumtaek]

Whoa! 15 Korean and International Teams! Daebak! 

 

 

[stardustvoid]

I’m hoping for a good ending too but I’ve been burned by other dramas before. Fingers definitely crossed for this one!

 

But why do I get the feeling today that episode 10 is the peak romance we’re gonna see for the series? Meaning there’ll more trouble/evil scheming for the last 6 episodes. I’m really anxious about this upcoming showdown with TG. I hope it will be excellently written and end in favor of CSH.

 

I hope it doesn’t end on a “We’ll always have Havana” note. If they don’t visit the garden on episode 11 then the probability of another episode in Cuba is highly likely, hopefully the finale.

 

Oh and it’s Monday in this side of the world, I hope they have some new material in store for us.

 

[gumtaek]

We can relate about the "not being able to sleep" because of the endings, right, chingus?

 

Btw, I can't believe we are actually talking about the light switch! 

 

Yes, @redbeanbuns, SHK said it in the PressCon. Will look for the YT Video and come up with a screencap and post it here.

Argh.  That’s an absolute killer thought— “we’ll always have Havana”.  We gotta stay positive though...

They’ll always have Havana because they’re going to emigrate there and make a new Donghwa Headquarters in Cuba rather than South Korea.

I also noticed that christmas tree. 

But i do not think the director nor the writer would be careless about this.

Maybe the hotel is just like us, february is the time we take out christmas decors. We feel its a waste if christmas decors stay just for christmas season. And yes, i remember, i have a photo in one of our local hotels, its mid february, chinese new year and the background is a christmas tree.

 

I remember in a video i saw, when asked to describe shk... shk is a calculative person. There's no reason to criticize her actions, esp encounter/boyfriend. She knows what she 's doing. And Sh is also like that in may ways.

@leedonghaek thanks for sharing! Seems like everybody has a universal consensus on the impact of the kiss. 

 

If anything, it was able to tide some of us over before the next episode 

[gumtaek]

Another piece of good news, chingus!

 

[dahae2006]

@gumtaek  sure their tourism increased due to bf filming.  this bogum's fan visited all his filming area in cuba and post many tweets.  if my google translation is correct,  the road that  SHK & PBG walked bare foot

Park Bo Gum's agency, Blossom Entertainment, posted the " 6  best endings news" on their official IG Account

 

@redbeanbuns: Here it is!

When I saw episode 1, the scene where SH woke up and sleepily looked straight in JH's eyes, I told myself back then: boy, you are already in trouble. A beautiful woman looking at a man with pretty eyes like this, with her head on his shoulder -  can bring him down. People says eyes are windows to the soul and here  we have two people looking at each other at such a close distance in a very (unintended) intimate manner - poor guy looked like he held his breath and was bewitched. Such a bold guy to ask the woman whom he has good feeling towards just after the first meeting whether she has a boyfriend, despite the fact that she is older than him. So here you go boy, kissing the woman you love and picking up the story which was left off in Cuba.

@vu_hoa1983 Great post!  You made nice comments about the eyes, and I agree entirely.  He was a complete goner when he wiped her tears away with his hand in a later episode.  If you touch a woman's tears with your skin, you will lose your heart to her and that he did do.

You are all being so prolific in your posts that I am having trouble keeping up with you but love reading them all.  

I can only imagine how thrilled CSH was when she found out that the Samual changed his mind and will allow the land sale.  It must be dawning on her at this point that not only is KJH a great guy but almost as important, he is a person within her organization that gets very important things accomplished.  From a business perspective, she has got to realize that she needs to have him back in Seoul.  He is quickly becoming one of the most important people in her personal and business life.

That JinSoo Love Gaze IS PERFECTION!

Thank you to the 15 PBG fan unions , providing such a lavish spread for the entire cast and crew, extremely generous and thoughtful. I know that it must have been challenging to coordinate amongst so many different groups and still keep it a surprise, congratulations on such a successful fan project! 

 

Our main leads were not looking at each other but their reactions after the director effusively praised their chemistry was so cute. Big smiles all around.

I still cant believe it!

How could this guy

 

Turn to be like this

Yes yes this guy

IKR? And to think it wasn’t long ago that some were dismissing his character as a virginal schoolboy

 

This only goes to show how effective this drama is in portraying the progression of a relationship

 

holding hands — back hug — front hug — shy first kiss — holding hands with fingers intertwined in a movie theater — a little hungrier goodbye kiss — “I love you” — romantic kissing — passionate kissing

 

Most of which were done in public.

I love to be the bearer of good news, chingus!

 

From Good Data Corporation

 

Park Bo Gum and Song Hye Kyo are back to being the no.1 and no.2 buzzworthy actors for Dec. 31, 2018 to January 6, 2019!

 

The drama ranked 4th....fighting!

Still figuring out the ranking of the drama. If I am not mistaken, it ranked 4th.

 

http://sports.chosun.com/news/ntype.htm?id=201901080100045520003488&servicedate=20190107

 

You’re right, it’s 

1. Sky castle 

2. MoA

3. Last empress 

4. Encounter/Boyfriend. 

 

I have noticed that our participation numbers on   Twitter and the Korean search portals is great but we are really lacking numbers when it comes to Instagram(TVN) and Youtube(TVN) which could be a reason why the drama has not been fairing better on this survey. The fact that PBG and SHK are still rank 1 and 2 is proof that we ought to be faring better on the drama rankings. 

 

 

For example, the kiss scene has really low views on YT despite being an extremely hot topic on all social sites this week. 

 

 

Everyone please keep supporting the drama and actors on different sns. 

 

 

The song that KJH sings in the next episode, Drunken Truth by Kim Dong Ryul, I wonder if the lyrics mean that CSH has still not said “ I love you” when KJH serenades her with this song.
