Finally i figured out that age plays a big role in making you like or dislike a drama and choices any character makes in those dramas.
4 years back when Encounter was aired i instantly disliked the show for PBG (i am still bitter for R88) and then i couldnt undrestand why someone as Complete and Perfect as CSH fell in love with someone like Jin Hyuk.
And by 5th episode i dropped it…(may be by 7th)

but now after 4 years… 4 years more lonelier and older i could finally undersand Cha Soo Hyun and her feelings for Jin Hyuk. And now I am literally having goosebumps for every single time she looks at him with her sad eyes only to be having a smile o her face… ahhh now i am gettng softe towards PBG too cause Jin Hyuk is such a charmer.

on Epi 5th now and no way ill drop it… trying to binge and working on my projects side by side.

just wanted to rant it out cause i bashed Cha soo Hyun so much then so she deserves some love and afection now.

    I’d like to think of it as “life experience” and not “age.” 😂

      What a wonderful reflection, @howmanyoppas! I know your response was a bit tongue in cheek @ally, but I agree that it’s more to do with experience rather than age, and since age gives us more chances for experience, the two are linked. Quite often when I’m alone in my opinions about a drama/character/behaviour, I attribute it to my personal experience. I like that a book, drama, film etc. may not change, but we do, and it means that what we get from it changes as well.

    I loved Encounter! So nice you’re enjoying it now.

    I had a similar experience. I couldn’t stand the second female lead in Coffee Prince the first time I tried to watch it. And I couldn’t like the secondary couple because of her.

    But this year I enjoyed the show so much, and I really liked that couple’s relationship. A LOT. I understood the SFL’s state of mind and decisions way better now. Such a real and mature character I couldn’t understand before.
