Storyline: Il Mare is a beautiful house by the sea. When Eun-joo moves out of this house, she writes a card and a letter for the next occupant of the house. But the mailbox delivers the letter 2 years before time. To Sung-hyun, who is the first one to move into Il Mare. Their correspondence across time continues. She warns him about the flu that came 2 years ago. He takes her to a restaurant where she drinks a bottle of wine that he left for her two years ago. They want to meet, but they cannot. Because Eun-joo has already lived those two years without meeting Sung-hyun. Sung-hyun wants to build a house for Eun-joo. He is an architect. But in Sung-hyun’s time, Eun-joo is to get married to somebody else. And in Eun-joo’s time…
Climax Handling: The climax is unimaginable. After all these other things that are unimaginable. You might disagree with the ending or sorts, but it is far too real and on the ground.
Points: Watch out for a scene at the station when Sung-hyun is about to return a music player to Eun-joo across two years. Nothing better. The subtleity of this film beats every other thing you have ever heard about time travel.
Rating: 9/10
Comment: You have to. You just can’t not watch it.
