I loved this film. sometimes K-drama can have too much drama. this was romance. and what a romance! Song Hye-Kyo made me add one person to my most beautiful women ever list. Classic, elegant, eternal beauty. I saw The Glory, which was brilliant. but the way she was shot for Encounter was special. and yes, I am just about to watch descendants of the sun. regarding the movie itself. I loved the Cuba location, I wish more kdramas had some international locations. The rest of the story was standard, but great because of execution and the chemistry between the 2 leads. biggest downside was the rushed completion of the secondary romances. The characters in relationships were too well set up for them to conclude so abruptly.
