Popular Post il23 Posted January 16, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 16, 2019 2 hours ago, stroppyse said: You raise some good points. I was just saying that I still see a difference between JH's mother and the other two mothers, WS' mother and SH's mother. I still don't think that JH's mother is at the same level of "bad". Also, since JH's mother really does want the happiness of her son, she's going to come around. Unlike the other two mothers for whom their children are just tools to be used for their own purposes. Perhaps rather than selfish love, JH's mother is an "I know what's better for you than you do" kind of love? It's still harmful, and it takes away JH's agency in thinking that she knows best for him. As for getting to know SH better first, JH's mother probably thinks she has some idea of the woman that SH has from all the media that SH gets. In a way, it's probably also a commentary on how we fans may think we know a star because we've read/seen so much about them, but really and truly, we aren't privy to the people that they really are. I find WS' mother and SH's mother's actions horrifying and incomprehensible while I can understand some of why JH's mother acted the way she did. Again, this is not to say that I agree or that I think she's doing the right thing, just that it's within the realm of normal mother behavior, as far as I know. And, most importantly for me, I really, truly believe that loving her son as she does, JH and SH's love will ultimately be able to win JH's mother over. Aside from their deaths, I don't know that there is anything that SH's mother and WS' mother might regret, and even then, the regret might be that they no longer have a tool in hand to use. *shrug* JH's mother is fully aware of her son's love for SH. She intentionally sought out a secret meeting with SH without talking with JH or her husband knowing full well that they would object. She is no different than any of the mothers in her desire to have things as she wants. She talked about how the neighbors view her. She is more concerned with saving face and being embarrassed than her son's happiness. Her son is wearing a band which she observed, as well as the band on SH's hand. JH is the mother's favored son. She is my opinion threatened by the class difference and the fact that her son has a true and deep love for another person. She is not as evolved and self assured as the rest of the family who are willing to support JH at all costs even it causes them some discomfort because they recognize JH's true and unwavering love for SH. JH's mom while good and pure is also selfish in her desire to have her son live the life she chooses for him that would not disrupt her life. She is also intimidated by what SH represents. I do believe SH and HJ will weather this hurdle and that HJ's mom will ultimately accept the relationship because HJ will not give up on his soul mate and true love. 20 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In some Asian countries, parents raise their sons/daughters with love and best support ever; therefore, sometimes expectation and a certain involvement might be understanable. Let KJH’s mom get more info and take some time to gradually make her mind. She might not like CSH as her son’s girlfriend and hope for her son’s wife’s normality but she would accept her son’s choice one day from her love to the son and from her son’s love to CSH. Even within my own culture, (which is not Asian) there is the expectation that you are supposed to value your parents opinion very highly. Often tying to convince your parents to change their minds once they’ve made them up is like trying to force the wind to change direction. For our JinSoo couple, I really believe that the best decision would be to continue with their relationship without JinHyuk’s mother's approval. Regardless of what they do (stay together or break up) everyone knows of the connection between the Kim family and the Cha family now. The awkward interactions, cruel commentary, and people asking favors won’t stop even if JinHyuk and SooHyun separate. They’re linked now, so his mother may as well get out of the way and let her son be happy. That way there can be a least one benefit to come out of all of the hardship. 18 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rckchvls Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 I'm thinking... In the last part where CSH mentioned about she learned from WooSuk... I think... Because of what WooSuk did, she will do the same to cut ties with him and not KJH? To tell him to stop because there's no chance of him winning over CSH again. I also agree with the other chinggus here. Ususally in a 16ep drama... This is where the conflict arises and how they will be able to resolve it. Ep13-14. Think of the other kdramas. I am looking forward on how KJH and CSH will face this and hope everything would be resolved in ep14 so we can still enjoy the last 2 episodes 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stardustvoid Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 So I finally caved and watched. It sure had its lovely moments but man, was it really overshadowed by JH’s mum in the end. I know it’s probably a cultural thing, but I can’t wrap myself around the fact the SHE DID IT BEHIND HIS BACK. I reckon she doesn’t want to ruin JH’s pristine perception of her. After all, he is a mama’s boy. And she knows SH wouldn’t have the nerve to tell JH that mum went to see her to end the relationship. She may be simple minded on the outside but JH’s mum is also cunning. Also, as lovely as the OTP are their weak point is they don’t communicate as as openly as I would want. My dream scenario is SH would say hell to the no about breaking up with JH. Yes, I know, it will most definitely ruin his family dynamics. On the other hand, I really want to see SH FIGHT FOR HER MAN rather than JH’s stubbornness being the thing that saves the relationship. SH gurl, I’m rooting for you! If it’s worth having it’s worth fighting for! ETA: as sad as this episode was there were so many foreshadowings for a happy ending 18 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will enjoy it. It is a combination of some sweet, heart warming, funny, melancholy scenes. Thanks for that. Actually, I do very much to watch it.....I just do Not want to watch it Yet. I am aware that I don't take stress well, and I know I would feel worried so it's better for me to wait, possibly until the final episode. When I know what will happen, I can enjoy the show totally and with a full heart. That's just me. 8 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NongpeeP Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 2 hours ago, stroppyse said: I just finished watching, and I have to agree that it wasn't as bad as I had feared. Most of the episode is actually rather warm and tender, with some very lovely couple scenes of SH and JH, and JH just being all melty and cute in his sentiments. How can he say some of those things and make them sound so moving and beautiful rather than cheesy??? So, many positives to the episode as JH and SH become ever more comfortable as a couple. And, all of those little kisses that they give each other. Plus, JH's father has decided to give them his whole-hearted support, as has SH's father. The end with the mother was sad because she objected, however, watching it, I didn't feel as badly as I might have. JH's mother's concern isn't necessarily for herself. What she's having a hard time with is to hear her neighbors cast aspersions on her son, in effect saying that he wasn't able to get employment by his own merits, but had to use his sugar mama to get into such a prestigious company. I think it would upset any mother to hear that. However, it wasn't just hearing and thinking that her son was going to be slandered willy-nilly, it was that the rumors would follow JH around for a long, long time, if not the rest of his life if he dates such a high-profile person as SH. And, finally, the mother is concerned that the relationship isn't going to go the distance. JH's mother can't imagine that SH would actually want to marry her son, even though they are dating. So, from JH's mother's perspective, her son who is the lower/weaker person in this relationship may get his heart broken, his name muddied, and have to live with the consequences alone after having given himself over to this relationship. Overhearing that her husband was not going to object to the relationship seems to have provoked her concern even more. I guess she thinks that her husband has also fallen for the pretty face that SH has in terms of giving his consent? So, there are definitely ways for SH/JH to tackle this without sacrificing their love. I agree with @yonaomi123 that JH and SH should stay together, despite JH's mother's disapproval and show her that their love is true and will go the distance. I do not expect that JH and SH will be completely happy until JH's mother gives her approval, but I feel that's appropriate to the culture. Of course, JH and SH could just get married. Talk about seriously causing a lot of talk then, however, it would neatly spike one of JH's mother objections that the relationship won't be going all the way to marriage. I think that SH and JH can continue to date without disrespecting JH's mother; it'll just be a little harder, a little more uncomfortable. But, first things first, I think that JH needs to become aware of his mother's objection. It's not fair to him to keep him in the dark. I can see why JH's mother doesn't want to approach it with him, but as his girlfriend, SH really should tell JH. I'm bracing myself for the possible break up scene in episode 14, though. Despite various issues, it's been a little too lovey-dovey for our OTP. I can imagine that they're introducing angst into the penultimate week's episodes so that the finale resolution will be that much sweeter. All in all, I'm still sure that SH and JH are going to be together. Perhaps since they've given us so much else, they'll actually allude to a wedding between SH and JH? Even if it's just a proposal scene rather than a full on wedding, I'm fine with an ending that indicates that the two will spend every together and live like that for a long, long time to paraphrase JH's own words. @stroppyse @yonaomi123 I agreed with your comments. I have enjoyed watching Encounter ep.13 because the story and script are seamless with reasonable flows to each character. KJH’s mom’s objection and attempt to protect her son from any looking down, presumption of no-capability-but connection-to-CEO and more threatening actions from this chaebol are understandable because this love has impacted KJH and KJH’s family. After KJH has been in relationship with CSH, KJH has been looked down with cruel words/gesture directly from CSH’s mom, CSH’s ex-mom-in-law, CSH’s ex-husband, Dong Hwa Hotel employees, the press (mentioned KJH as a stalker). Ex-mom-in-law almost fired KJH when she found Ramyeon news. KJH’s Prompt relocation was another incident of being in relationship with CSH. The general manager at Sokcho also mentioned why CEO likes KJH when KJH appeared on magazine, his hard working is underrated. For marriage, the situation might be much more impact to CSH, KJH, and their family from the Chaebol, the press, Donghwa, neighbor, colleagues, friends. Reality of marriage is beyond imagination. However, KJH has already decided to take risks by loving CSH, he have had to face many obstacles no matter - from outsiders’ actions/words; or - pains from his family members’ impact eg. his little brother’s quarrel, his mom’s strong objection with her worry&uncomfort. KJH’s mom has tried to reverse the situations from unusual to normal by requesting CSH to break up, KJH’s mom’s mind might be not uncomplicated because in fact love is mutual;therefore, break up will affect to both KJH&CSH’s feeling. Let KJH’s mom take some time to make her mind for understanding the truth not easy to go backwards. When I watched Encounter ep.13, I wondered why Snail restaurant did not feel strange when KJH’s mom asked to send preserved fruit by not telling KJH and KJH’s brother and Secretary Jang did not recheck this thing before sending to CSH. ============== http://mosen.mt.co.kr/article/G1111066298#imadnews credit : Google Translate Radi, 'boyfriend' OST scholarship ..

Popular Post sugarbunnee Posted January 17, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 17, 2019 So many great observations from everybody! There is no doubt about JH's and SH's deep love and devotion but what really needs to happen is for them to establish more of an open line of communication instead each trying bear burdens by themselves out of consideration for the other person. If they take on more of a united "you and me against the world" attitude, no one will be able to keep them apart. 30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lclarakl Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 The scene of CSH sitting in her apartment alone after her dinner with the family broke my heart.
