Just finshed it. Beautiful. What a lovely story. One of the best chemistries between leads... which is even more amazing since he starts madly in love with another girl. Incredibly how they manage to show this chemistry between the leads, without even showing kisses (except a small one once). And the chemistry starts the moment they meet, even while they arent in love yet

I liked it a lot. Amazing lead actors and the secondary ones were great too. Loved how the leads were always flawless with eachother.

The end wasnt very good tho, they tried too hard to revive the problem that was already solved 5 episodes ago, and it made no sense to me (dont worry, it's happy).

Like I say in my comment above, I love the show. But I got a few questions I didnt quite understand

1. Did they somehow explain how they manage to get the memories into the devices? I mean, behaviour, sure, but memories? Did they give any explanation, even a sci-fi one?

2. Did they explain why Ji Soo left ML 10 years ago? They clearly show how they were soulmates. Did they give an explanation or just because she suddenly wanted to marry the other guy?

3. Why did FL need that final sepparation time? I mean, from my point of view everything was fine, she started feeling sad for ML, because of what he discovered about his mother, and that saddness grew unitl she said she needed some time appart. So she feels sad for him and decides to leave him, after knowing he was sad for 10 years because another girl left him? Daaaaaamn girl.

But why wouldn't anybody, be it a toxic person or not, that wants to be with her and can not only because she is running away because he cheated, not tell it was a lie ...?

Just finished it. I guess it's good. It kept me interested... even though I wasnt really likeing it. For a romance, this has no romance scenes at all. In 20 episodes theres like 4 barely romantic scenes of 30 seconds each. We just never see them together. So if that's what you're looking for, this show doesnt have it.
But on a positive note, even I, who just wanted romance and didnt find it here, could enjoy the show. That means the show is pretty good.

Well I'm not bashing this writers in particular, just whoever wrote this. It's even worse IMO because the first 10 episodes are very light-hearted and funny. And suddenly it turns into a melodrama...

No triangles? No melodrama? What did you watch? There's a love hexagon...

I do a lot of research before starting a kdrama. But I obviously don't read the entire script. Many dramas have tragedies, which I try to avoid, but this one wins by far. Breakup because stupid reason + accident + loosing their child + she leaves with love triangle + timeskip.... Omg I wanted to kill the scriptwriters at that point...

Exactly. If this show would have continued at episode 15 how it was going, it would have been over 9.5 for me. But they decided to sabotage their own show.
I gave it an 8 for the good first 15 episodes, but the taste it left for me at the end was lower

I agree with you. The arguments other use is that he cares about her even if acting like that. I know that, but it is no excuse. Her father just died, she is loosing everything, and 100 other small bad things are happening to her. Treating her like that for 5 episodes is terrible.
I think it is a good show, and I enjoyed some parts, but I hated episodes 2-7

This is more than slow burn.... after 12 episodes there has been 3 romance scenes of 30 second each. Will it ever ramp up?

Far from true. You could say they get together at the end of episode 9. But even then, they dont do anything as a couple in the next 3 episodes.

Agree 100% with your review. While I loved the show, it's the last 4 episodes where all the awesomeness is. The love triangle plot, while not annoying as other love triangles since there was no jealousy involved, was far far too long. And those side stories you mention aren't very interesting

But the chemistry between the leads was awesome, and some of the scenes were so satisfying. Like the way their relationship becomes known to their friends. Or how he cares for her father in secret. Or when he hides in her closet. Those 4 episodes had more satisfying scenes than entire other romances

The problem is not the toxicity, but the nonsense missunderstandings. After the first breakup, he really changed , loved her and pursued her for real. Yet the other girlk lied to her saying he was dating her. Thats what started all the problems of the show, and its ridiculous that when he realized the other girl had lied, he never said anything to her. I was actually waiting for a big reveal saying why he kept that secret, like owing his life to the other girl or her being terminally ill or somethjing. but no, not even a lame excuse. He just.... decides not to tell the girl he loves that it was a lie and leaves her crying and almost looses her. Just because he didnt feel like saying it...

Officially happy, but terrible.

Yes, it is very realistic that somebody lies to the girl you like saying you are in a relationship with another girl, and when she runs away from you and cries you dont say that was a lie. And then when she asks you directly about it, you say "that is not the issue", and never explain to her that it was a lie. Very realistic.

Just finished it. Great acting.... terrible everything else. omg what did I just watch. Script writers must have been high.Have you seen several kdramas with toxicity and missunderstandings? well those are rooky numbers compared to this one. WTF seriously. One of many examples: Somebody tells FL that ML cheated on her dating another girl. So she goes away from ML. ML doesnt know what happens at first, but then he realizes the lie. Well he doesnt say anything and still tries to seduce her (who would love to be with him except because she thinks he cheated) but he never explains she was lied to. And he keeps quiet about it even when he sees her cry all the time because of it. Bad enough? Well, thats not all. She tells him: "you cheated".... and he answers "thats not the issue", and keeps trying to seduce her... while knowing somebody lied to her about him cheating and thats the only problem between them... WTFThis is just an example, many times something like this happens. Well, obviously after seeing those things, I believe there will be a big secret reveal on why he never said those things where a lie. Like owing his life to the one who lied or something like that. And at the end when she realizes that, they get together. Well not only is there no reveal, no reason on why the frak he didnt tell her she was lied to, its even worse. She NEVER realizes those things were a lie!! She goes back to him at the end for a "happy" ending, believeing he really cheated on her, and with a final sentence: I know I will regret it, but I still want to be with you.WTF, terrible show, terrible story, terrible script, terrible nonsense missunderstandings/secrets, terrible ending. Acting and chemistry (at the start) was great tho, what a pitty.

Yup, officially 13. But they were almost together since 11, even agreed to be together at that point, just wanted to finish some work first.

I checked their previous dramas and inthe one I see they worked together they arent a couple right?

Just finished it. Very good. Very lighthearted, no angst at all, tons of romance scenes. And very funny, there are quite some scenes where I laughed out loud.

If you just want romance and some laughs, this is perfect.

Watch Encounter.
