It would be quite safe to say that ‘Encounter (남자친구)’ starring Park Bo-gum and Song Hye-kyo would be another hotly anticipated drama to end 2018. Set in Cuba, this 16 episodes melo romance drama will see a nuna/ donseng pairing with a 12 years age gap between the 2 leads.
Cha Soo-hyun (Song Hye-kyo) is the daughter of a politician. After she graduated from college, she married the son from a family who runs a large company. Her marriage was a marriage of convenience for her politician father. After having a child, Cha Soo-hyun was compelled to get a divorce.
Kim Ji-hyeok (Park Bo-gum) is an ordinary young man. His is unable to find a regular job and is forced to work part-time jobs in the meantime. He decides to go on a trip to Cuba. There, he meets Cha Soo-hyun.
‘Encounter’ will air in Korea on tvN on 28 November, 21.30. It will air on Viu on 29 November 2018, 4 hours after it’s Korean broadcast.
This will be both Song Hye-kyo’s and Park Bo-gum’s return to the small screen after their phenomenal hit dramas, ‘Descendants of the Sun (2016)’ and ‘Love in the Moonlight (2016)’. No wonder their fans are waiting with bated breath. As fans of Park Bo Gum knows, he is very good friend with Song Joon-ki, Song Hye-kyo’s husband. I wonder if he felt awkward during the filming.
Personally, I don’t like Park Bo-gum’s hair style in the photo stills that I have seen far. But I love Song Hye-kyo’s short hair. I really hope the chemistry will be good.
