One Day

Many people may don't like it, but life is unfair with many(most) of us. This movie movie shows you beauty of sorrow. Just watch it with open heart....what a great piece of art of this.... what a great movie it is....... watch it ... they all are acted very well. I hate negative ending movie... but this one really touches me...because this is what life is about......

Is it selfish to hang on to a loved one even when their every moment is pain? Or is it grace to surrender them and keep their memories alive?

Our lead gets a do-over after a profound loss but he must be coaxed to the proper response. Along the way, he learns why sometimes the greatest testament to love is letting go.

We never know if it's a stranger's spirit he's interacting with or if he's projecting his loved one's final days onto this stranger he comes in contact with. But we get a hint, towards the end, of the real answer.

The story is brutally real. Sometimes, people are discarded and they never know why. Sometimes, people push their loved ones away to spare them a greater pain. And sometimes, people do the unthinkable as an act of mercy.

Minus one star for the lack of backstory on the hair stylist mother. Otherwise, this one's well worth a watch.

Recently found out about and watched this movie. Overall great pacing, plot and acting. It was lovely seeing both main characters eventually coming to terms with their respective situations via their fated encounter with one other.

Definitely not for everyone, especially if you're after cutesy romance (nothing wrong with that btw). However, if you're after a movie which covers the topic of dealing with the frailty of life, I recommend giving this a watch.

A somewhat slow movie but well worth the patience. Not the usual formulistic movie but a thoughtful story about loss and sorrow.

This movie is such a sad, heavy-burdened movie to watch, yet at the same time, a fantastic one to hang onto you long after you've watched it. The two leading male and female actors both did unbelievably believable performances to portray the profound feelings and their journeys of their lives. The camera works, the soundtrack, the directing and the editing all were top-tier teamwork and did a great visualization of a great screenplay with profound dialogue. The pace was sometimes a bit too slow and only added more heaviness for us to suffer together with these two young people.

Another beautifully done Korean movie. Highly recommended.
