I waited for months to watch this one and it did not disappoint.

A masterclass in story telling, riveting, emotional with peaks and valley all throughout. It is certainly mirrors life, and the emotional, sacrifice, decisions that we all faces in our lifetime. Beyond excellent- I highly recommend.

Do yourself a favor and simply drop it! 1st episode is as good as it gets- It's steep drop down hill after that!

Try "The Rise of Phoenixes"

I don't think I've ever seen a drama quite like Encounter, where the male lead is so deeply devoted and in love. Similarly, the female lead's stoic beauty, kindness, and loving nature are unparalleled.

The contrast between her courage, strength, and disillusionment creates a unique and compelling character. If you've come across anything remotely similar, please let me know!

Beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder; I am surprised this show is rated only at 8.1! For me, Encounter is more than just beautiful; it's exquisite. It now ranks as one of the best romantic dramas I've seen in a long, long time. Although slightly idealistic, the storyline is well-written and developed, wonderfully executed by two outstanding leads.

For those who love to dream, Encounter is a highly underrated, beautiful, and charming romance drama. The cinematography, writing, execution, chemistry between the leads, and heartfelt storyline make it truly stand out. I am on episode 15, with just one more to go, and I can easily rate this show at 9.5+.

Really well done.

Simply amazing. I hesitated for so long to watch this drama after seeing snippets of the first episode. I did not think it was my type of Drama. Boy, was I wrong!! This is now in my Top 3 favorite ( Probably number 1 as it stands today) K Dramas.

A Nostalgic, remarkable story that touches every facet of life. Exemplary writing, great character development, sublime acting and a masterclass in story telling truly makes Reply 1988 one of a kind.

Oh thanks for pointing that out- I guess I need to check my headspace before watching this drama? Is it possible that we may have a different view/definition of chemistry?

I just got done watching this show. It is a fantastic Drama.

I was hesitant to dive in as it did not seem like my type of my show, it seems geared toward a younger audience. Welp, I was wrong, while the story does indeed focus on the younger adult years there are valuable life lessons that we can all relate to.

It is really well done.. Great acting jobs by all. I especially love the ending, although there were some parts left to the imagination, and how they tied everything.

I feel like there could be a season 2. Anyone aware of an impending season 2?

Really well done. Chemistry and acting was superb. This should rate higher than 8.6. It should not be lower than 8.8. I rated it at 9 :) .

Thanks for the feedback. I just finished it and it was indeed as you described. Chemistry overload ! And I just enjoyed every single episode. Really, really well done. Now I am looking for another one just as good.

Any recommendations, since you were so spot on with this one :) ?

I don't know about this one :) . I think the story can get better, I am not sure about the chemistry. Still, I am going to push to Episode 7 to see.

Thank you. I will definitely give it a try..

:) I actually don't even care for the bed scenes-That's why I enjoyed K-Dramas. Wonderful story telling without the sexploitation. Some things are best kept private.

It also takes real acting, and directing to capture audiences without the sex scenes.

Honestly, I will be fine if I never see any of these type of scenes in a K or C Drama.

Wow - Pheromones :) . You got me all hyped up now. I can already see it. It may not the show of the year for some but this is definitely my type of drama. I am looking forward to the next 11 episodes

I am only 30 minutes into it and I can already see the chemistry. This is right down my alley.

Love is more than just words.. it is meant to be felt.. :)

That's awesome. I am going to start this tonight. :)

Thank you so much for the prompt response. I just dropped a drama because of poor chemistry. I think the best sign of a good romcom is the chemistry between the leads...

I can deal with almost anything but bad chemistry between the two main characters :)

Is this drama geared toward a younger crowd like 21 or younger? Or is it something that anyone can enjoy?

How was the acting and chemistry between the two leads?
