CAST (Pics and Cast-Hancinema)




This chronicles the love story of two unlikely people. Beautiful Su Jin caused scandal for her family for her affair with a married man. One day returning home, she forgets her coke purchase and goes to get it back. She bumps into a man, looks at the counter and proceeds to open his can and drink it in front of him (she assumed he took her "paid" can of coke). But she goes back into the convenience store to find out that the clerk put away her can of coke.
Soon afterwards she meets that dark stranger at the construction site her father is one of the archtects and he is the lead foreman. Su Jin tries to find opportunities to be around Chul Soo. Finally one night, while they are together at pojangmacha he tells her if she finishes the shot of soju, she will be his girlfriend. Su Jin quickly finishes the shot without hesitation.
They have a beautiful relationship and marriage after getting Su Jin's parent's approval. She is blissfully happy and always feeling she is on her honey moon. But Su Jin's forgetfulness is getting serious. Slowly Su Jin things such as getting home is problematic for her.
Her situation causes her to seek a specialist and find out the horrific truth she has the early stages of Alzheimer's disease. . At first she refuses to tell anyone especially Chul Soo. She wantes to bear the burden alone. But she quickly she realizes she cannot function normally.
She ends up needing to quit her job and has to stay at home due to her predicament. At this same time her ex-lover starts working with her again and thinks it is because of him. Due to her disease, she starts forgetting her beloved Chul Soo as her memory first erases her most recent memories much to Chul Soo's pain and anguish.
The scene where Chul Soo wears sunglasses to hide his tears from Su Jin as he acknowledges he loves her but she uses her ex-lover's pain was extremely hard to watch. When she gets a rare moment of her memory back, Su Jin write a heart breaking but achingly beautiful love note to her Chul Soo. This horrible disease has taken away from her the beautiful memories of them and their relationship. She assures Chul Soo though she might have her moments due to her disease of not recognizing him, just be re-assured that he is ONLY love.
I got teary eyed. Strong performances by Son Ye Jin and Jung Woo Seung.
