SYNOPSIS: In fulfillment
of his promise to his dying father, Oh-sung continued managing
their family-owned facility for terminally ill patients. As
the doctor, he led his team in showing optimism to people
who would like to have a memorable remaining life. He hasn't
lost hope in bringing out a smile in them.
Oh-sung had a chance meeting with the upbeat Young-joo. She
immediately felt comfortable with him and became friends.
But surprisingly, the truth behind those cheerful eyes is
despair of a dying woman. Young-joo has an incurable stomach
cancer.
What is more painful than dying is living while anticipating
death. It requires so much faith and courage. Even if Young-joo
is in the verge of giving up, she has found strength in Oh-sung
and entrusted her life into his hands. Despite of what the
future holds, they still gave in to what their hearts dictate.
REVIEWS: Two thumbs up
on Eun-joo and Jae-wook's dramatic portrayal. Both have given
you enough reasons to like the movie. They have such powerful
characters and evidently, they were able to give justice to
it.
Having a predictable ending is not a disappointing factor.
Ironically, the more I know about Young-joo's condition, the
more it gives me sadness. Her dedication to live kills me
knowing that, sooner or later, dreams of given a second chance
is unreachable. Just looking at her eyes gives me the chills.
For Oh-sung, I pity him too. Seeing your love one die gradually
is a more painful sight. He couldn't really show his own emotions
because Young-joo gets her strength from him. And being in
a place that reminds you more of death is harder to endure.
