This looks interesting - Cuba looks sort of cool...have you been, dodgerman? I know a few people who have gone. I must say countries where things are a hassle are not my cup of tea....
So we will do this on our regular daily schedule. When you get back you can tell me what you got up to and we'll take it from there...no problem at all if you fall behind. I'm busy with Japanese dramas now...

I have no desire to go to Cuba. The people we are going with on this Caribbean cruise are finishing the Cuba cruise right now. That is on my no-go list along with all of Central & South America and Africa. Way too dangerous and too much of a hassle. I like Encounter so far. I will try to see as many as I can before we go away and try to see a few on the ship and then catch up the weekend we get back. I like Song Hye Kyo and the girl sitting next to the lead guy in the PR department, Park Jin Joo is always funny.

Song HyeKyo was in the first of the famous Endless Love series - Autumn in My Heart....that was from 2000! Also Descendants of the Sun and others as well....and That Winter, The Wind Blows....have you ever seen that, dodgerman? Just checked...it's on Viki but needs the Pass Plus....it's also on Netflix to which I subscribe so I might just watch it there one of these days....doesn't seem to be available there for some reason even though it shows up....
Yes, I agree with your no-go list....lol....

I saw some of the 4 Seasons series. I found it very slow and never made it to the end of whichever one I saw.

Yes, I remember that you said that some time back....they are classic tear-jerkers...lol...went through a box of tissues with each one....and all of the usual things like family confusion and lies...and very slow....

I like this well enough but I think CEO looks old enough to be his mother even though in real life she is about 11 years older...I can't imagine that they will end up together unless they both leave the country or something....the families will never allow it - I guess that's Chaebol life...;-)
My favorite characters are Manager Nam and the restaurant owner...

Well, two more episodes...it looks like she is going to break up with him....I sort of agree with his mother - CEO is a public figure and the whole family will be dragged into everything...no more quiet life.....

I finished this - didn't love it but it was okay - probably showed what really happens with chaebols in Korea - thought they would go to Cuba first in order to be together.... One of the first times I remember a higher up ending up in prison! I hope that Manager Nam and the woman who got divorced and was his good friend end up together as well as the restaurant owner and the secretary....

I finished it as well. A little too long and drawn out for me but it was OK.
