[Drama 2018-2019] Encounter / Boyfriend, 남자친구


Recommended Posts

@gumtaek

Thanks for the great news!

Anyone knows if there's an English version of the book? Would love to get one. "I see you as I see flowers" is a good reminder to see the best in others for me...

What a great drama "Boyfriend" is to have so much good spin-offs - more CFs, more book sales, more publicity for Cuba & Sokcho which impacts tourism revenue greatly, more fanatic fans..hehe...more acceptance from society for non-conformist love situations like divorced woman with younger passionate guys who kiss like they're on fire!      :D

 

It's so good to see KJH meeting CSH's dad! I could sense the admiration & respect for KJH in her dad's eyes and mannerism.

Does that mean he'll sponsor their Cuba wedding in the Garden of Love?    :wub:

Thank you for sharing the new stills. Post Cuba KJH has a totally new vibe.

 

Really, really curious about WS role in the hotel now. Will he work with the PR team? I remember several pages back someone mentioned that the comedic PR team member (forgot her name) would be a good match for WS. LOL. He just might find his match after all!

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.

I had to go look up the character's name because I couldn't recall either.  I have thought she was on a man hunt and had JWS as a target (especially after that masquerade party):  Koo Eun Jin.  She would be a great match for him.

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.

As we go into the last episodes of the series, I think it would be wise for CSH to take some precautionary steps to protect KJH and his family.  This is not her first rodeo with Chairwoman Kim Hwa-Jin and her dirty tricks.  Sadly, I have worked in this type of environment before, and CSH's opponents will do whatever they need to in order to remove CSH as the CEO of Dongwha Hotel, which would include hurting KJH or his family, either physically or their character.  

Whilst I disagree about the methods mentioned, I totally agree that they should have a serious conversation about this as she knows exactly what they are getting themselves into. I think it’s high time they sat down as a team and discussed a game plan but I also believe that they will work it out.

 

 

 

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.

 

Couple rings

 

I was thinking, would it be too weird if she’s the one that buys the couple rings instead? I’m imagining a scenario where she’s having a conversation with Mi Jin about how she wants to say I love you back but doesn’t know how to reciprocate the whole Cuba hotel gesture and then getting the idea to have couple rings instead. 

 

That’s just my thinking or am I pushing the whole gender reversal thing too far.

 

Finally, cool dad and the boyfriend meet. I was wondering when it would happen but I’m happy with it this week. Now I’m just hoping for SH to finally meet his parents. If not yet, more interaction with cool tea lady please. SH did express a wish to visit more often after all. I feel like JH is good friends with Mr Nam so it’ll be quite helpful for her to be friends with someone in his world too, and HI is kinda out as she’s proven that she’s not too supportive

Hats off :thumbsup:

@nmgzlz @stroppyse

I predicted that they will break up but will get back together and it really happened.

 

For me, that time off was necessary. It will allow them to step back and reasses the situation and their feelings. Whether it’s worth the fight or not. Because let’s face it, they will be fighting tooth and nail for the relationship to work especially for KJH. His life will be turned upside down and he will have to kiss his privacy goodbye. For me, that is a very big decision to make.

 

Good thing our OTP decided to work it out and have a sit down. Looking forward to their professional growth as ceo-employee as well.

Now the hand, arm and feet gesture I did notice. Because I am one of those people who expresses something better using my hands. It was so heart warming to see the growth of their intimacy by just looking at how their hands and arms are also getting closer. :heart:

 

Once again, thank you for that very detailed (with visuals) explanation. Push it more and I might just make a Guidebook in Perfectly Understanding the Encounter Drama by Bebebisous33 :lol:

 

@gumtaek

hahaha let me rephrase what I said then. They will be at a stand still. I am happy that CSH lost that bet though because it goes to show that she is finally reclaiming and deciding on her own happiness!

 

I think the production team has their eyes on this thread. They seem to grant our wishes alot :ph34r: I’m not joking. We wanted a good angled kiss, they gave us that and more and all the other things that we wished that was posted by someone else. 

 

Our wish: A happy ending!

 

@jl08

Thank you for posting that. Does it have full Eng Subs? Let me check...
