I recently watched this movie with Song Yoon Ah (the drama "The Hotelier") as Yeon Su a shy girl who is secretly in love with her childhood friend Woo Jae (played by Seol Kyeong Gu). She stands idly by in the beginning of the film when he is dumped by his girlfriend.
A few years pass and they meet up again. This time she is a divorced and working as a vet in town and he is the local high school's crew team's coach. This time Woo Jae might be receptive to being together with Yeon Su. But their beginning ends up being an ending and Yeon Su finally realizes that she has held on too much. Meanwhile, a suitor (played by Lee Ki Woo) is in the wings waiting to be with Yeon Su.
The movie is very slow but the simple scenery is beautiful. I liked the important uses of every gesture and glance is fully utilized. This movie definitely keeps to the theme that with love, it is never smooth sailing. Something seems to go wrong...
