Plot

In the heart of a bustling city, Cha Soo Hyun, the daughter of a prominent political figure, leads a life of gilded confinement. Her existence, dominated by the demands of her influential father, is a tapestry of orchestrated moments — a loveless marriage with the scion of a wealthy conglomerate; a union serving political interests. The echoes of her stifled dreams are only silenced when the chains of her marriage shatter, leaving her a divorcee. Meanwhile, Kim Jin Hyuk, an ordinary young man, finds joy in the humblest fragments of life. His world is an enchanting mosaic of part-time jobs, each a stepping stone in his quest for stability. Despite his modest circumstances, Jin Hyuk's spirit brims with an innocent optimism, his happiness rooted in life's simple pleasures. Their paths converge on an overseas journey, where fate weaves an unexpected encounter. Drawn to Jin Hyuk's simple kindness, Soo Hyun finds herself stepping out of her golden cage. Simultaneously, Jin Hyuk, captivated by Soo Hyun's resilience, begins to see a world beyond his humble existence. "Encounter" is a tale where the threads of destiny intertwine, binding a woman cloaked in privilege and a man adorned in simplicity. Together, they dare to abandon the ordinary, choosing a life less predictable but filled with genuine affection. This unexpected love story explores the transformative power of connection, underlining the truth that happiness often blossoms in the most unexpected corners.
