"Encounter," the 2019 blockbuster hit melodrama, depicts the roller-coaster ride of a love story between a woman born with a silver spoon and a man who finds joy in the simplest things in life. Song Hye Kyo, Park Bo Gum and Jang Seung Jo boasted their brilliance as actors in the drama, receiving an all-time high viewership ratings during its broadcast. Here's what keeps the "Encounter" cast busy three years later.
Song Hye Kyo
After the success of tvN's "Encounter," Song Hye Kyo took a two-year break from acting.
In 2020, she accepted the role offered to her in the new SBS TV romance drama "Now, We Are Breaking Up" with "Sweet & Sour" actor Jang Ki Yong, whom she worked with for the first time.
The drama also stars Girl's Day Yura and EXO Sehun. It follows the different stories of people loved and who are loved and breakups in the romantic world.
