I am not sure how to express the wonderment I felt as I watched this first episode, it just blew me away. Everything about it is so beautiful - the cinematography, the scenery, and PBG, oh my goodness, he radiates such joie de vivre, his smile lights up the screen.I have to wait till tonight now before I can watch the next episode, I can't wait!

I like how everything just unfolded to be like "chance". The part where the clock turns back makes it seem like it is rewinding time as if the events are meant to be forgotten but cannot be. That "plot twist" that absolutely NO ONE saw coming at the end was SO UNPREDICTABLE, it shocked me. I mean, why would this pair of strangers ever see each other again on a daily basis? I wonder. . .

Cinematography, background music and editing is on point and serve well to support the storyline feeling of a romantic outing for strangers.

It's ridiculous. I smiled the whole chapter.I decided to watch the drama for the cast (I could not imagine Bo Gum with Hye Kyo) and I definitely did not expect to find this gem. I literally felt that my heart melted with each scene, I do not know how I will survive the rest of the drama.
See the smile of Bo Gum ALL THE TIME is overwhelming (it even cost me to concentrate on the subtitles), but beyond the beauty of both characters (because Hye Kyo is perfect too), the chemistry between the two captivated me completely. I think one of the most beautiful things about chemistry between Bo Gum and Hye Kyo is that it does not look like the burst of fireworks, so common in dramas (which we all love). It is not a love at first sight, it started with small details. It may seem that there is no passion between them (I think we all expected more after that sunset and the beers), but somehow I felt that it is much closer to what it really means to fall in love. They are two people who ran into one night, without haste or misunderstanding. And I think it was a great great success of the writers to give us this kind of love.
There was no forced moment and the narrative, with those landscapes and colors, only reinforced the connection between the two. I think I fell in love with Cuba and in the process I fell in love with this couple. I feel there are many cracks hidden inside each one and they will try to heal each other, which predicts many tears and joys.
The word that best describes the first impression produced by Encounter is undoubtedly Enchanted. And if I have to choose another I would say Beauty. Point.
It will be one of the best dramas of the season.

The first episode was so lovely! Not only was it visually pleasing (it’s quite possibly the prettiest episode I’ve ever seen), I also really liked the storyline so far. The episode seemed so soft and sweet to me, and I loved that. Park Bo Gum’s soft smiles are amazing! And I really like Song Hye Kyo’s character so far!
