He is in the top 3 favorite actors TT I watched almost all the dramas where he is playing and I have to admit that most of them are boring, except Reply and Love in the Moonlight.
I waited for Encounter for months and I dropped it after 3 episodes, that's how bad it was. I watched and endured Hello Monster for him too, it was extremely boring,,, Same for ROY. I am pretty disappointed, he received pretty bad projects.
Also, he received a lot of hate comments after Encounter because he played with SHK and people found out later that he and SJK were friends which were a little bit awkward for some fans to watch it. TBH, idk why he accepted that role, it was such a big mistake,,,
In the contrary, I personally recommend this drama. Encounter is a poetry in motion. Many appreciate the story.
The only drama I've watched for nth times.
I believe, this drama won an award in Japan. Also, it was published according to Tsutaya(Japan) 'Encounter' is the number 1 most popular korean drama rented for 2020. Not only that, it was sold and aired successfully to several asian countries. Revenue wise, Im pretty sure it exceeds the production expectation. The drama was a success despite the divorce controversy.
Im glad Park BuGom accepted Encounter drama because it expand his international fan base.
