Former actress Selene Cristobal (Cristine Reyes) has just gotten out of a marriage of convenience with her philandering husband. Because of her stardom and being a daughter of a politician, Selene knows the importance of one's reputation, but she agreed to take the blame for her failed marriage in exchange for Hotel d'Trevi which is one of the hotel chains owned by her ex's family.
Under Selene's management, the hotel is able to thrive once again. She goes to acquire more properties, and one leads her to Ilocos. It never crossed the mind of this pretty but lonely hotel CEO that this business trip will turn out romantic.
Engineering graduate Gino Hilario (Diego Loyzaga) is touring Ilocos while waiting for his dream job. Though he is passionate about art and photography, Gino is not into movies and celebrities so he is not familiar with Selene. All he knows when he sees her for the first time is that she is a woman in need of saving.
Directed by Gawad Urian Best Director awardee Jeffrey Jeturian, "ENCOUNTER" stays faithful to the significant scenes shown in the original K-drama, like the sunset shared by these two beautiful strangers.
