In this video, we will explain A Moment to Remember.
This movie is a South Korean film based on the 2001 Japanese television drama Pure Soul.
It stars a lovely couple and follows the theme of discovery in a relationship and the burdens
of loss caused by Alzheimer's disease.
When the person we love can no longer remember us, will love last to the end?
Let's find out in A Moment to Remember.
A Moment to Remember begins by showing a beautiful woman named Su-jin who seems to be
sitting restlessly at a train station.
Holding two train tickets, Su-jin, who looks agitated,
occasionally glances at the watch wrapped in her hand as if waiting for someone to arrive.
However, after waiting for quite a while, no one came over to her.
Su-jin who feels disappointed then leaves the station holding back tears.
She then headed to the payphone booth, about to call someone.
Disappointed that the person she was waiting for didn't show up,
Su-jin crumpled her train ticket while crying in frustration and walked away.
Su-jin then stops by a convenience store to buy canned drinks.
After paying, she left without taking her wallet or the can of drink she had just bought.
She realized that she had missed her drink when she felt thirsty and wanted to drink.
She then returned to the convenience store and passed a man named Chul-soo when he entered the mini-market.
Su-jin looks annoyed that she thinks Chul-soo has gotten in her way.
She is even more annoyed when she glances at the counter to see that the drink is gone,
and Chul-soo is holding the same can of drink she bought.
A misunderstood Su-jin thinks Chul-soo has taken her drink.
She grabs the can of drink, gulps it down, returns the empty can to the man,
and then leaves.
Chul-soo just smiles wryly at Su-jin's antics and throws the empty can into the trash.
Su-jin realizes that her wallet isn't there when she gets on the bus.
Thinking that she left her wallet at the convenience store, she rushes back there,
where the mini market employee then returns the wallet along with the canned drink she bought earlier.
Realizing that she had made
a mistake by snatching the drink of the man she had crossed paths with, Su-jin feels guilty.
But she couldn't do anything, because the man had left from there.
Su-jin finally decides to return home,
where her mother seems relieved when she returns home fine.
Meanwhile, her younger sister scares her,
saying that their father will definitely scold her for wanting to run away from home.
However, the following day, her father didn't say anything while enjoying breakfast together.
When Su-jin returns to work,
her co-workers talk behind her back, but she tries to ignore them.
Su-jin is a fashion designer,
and because of what she has just experienced,
her boss is a bit doubtful about her credibility at work.
But Su-jin tries to convince her boss that she can do her job well.
Su-jin then meets her new co-worker, a woman named Anna, who looks friendly but actually she just
wants to make fun of Su-jin who she doesn't think is a good woman because she is in a relationship with a married man.
Apparently Su-jin had to swallow disappointment because her boyfirend,
Young-min, preferred to return to his wife rather than run away with Su-jin.
One day, Su-jin with her father, Mr. Kim, a construction firm CEO,
drives somewhere to review her father's construction project. On the way,
she apologizes to her father for always bothering him. However, her father is relieved that Su-jin
has finally realized her mistake and asks her to forget the past, and start a new life.
Once there, Su-jin chooses to stay in the car due to the project site's hot and dusty weather
conditions. While waiting in the car, she sees Chul-soo walking past and continues to watch
the man even as her father returns and drives away, complaining about Chul-soo's stubbornness.
Su-jin finally finds out that Chul-soo is one of the employees working at her father's company.
After that, Su-jin intends to help her boss to complete the renovation of the office space
which had stopped due to lack of funds. Su-jin then contacted her father, and told him the
problems experienced by her boss. Mr. Kim is willing to help her daughter and promises to
send one of her best employees to complete the renovation of the office space where Su-jin works,
warning her that the employee he sent may be a bit rude, but the work is outstanding. The next day,
Su-jin and her boss await the arrival of the construction workers sent by Mr. Kim,
and how shocked she is when she finds out that the employee is Chul-soo. On the other hand,
Chul-soo also looks surprised to see Su-jin, which indicates that the man also remembers
Su-jin taking his drink at the convenience store. Chul-soo seems oblivious to Su-jin's presence,
and after her boss gives the man a little direction, Chul-soo begins to do his job.
Su-jin quietly watches Chul-soo from a distance and seems attracted to the man.
Though Chul-soo initially appears like a rough and dirty construction worker, he exudes sheer
masculinity in its most basic physical form. When Su-jin was about to get a can of drink at the
vending machine in her office, suddenly Chul-soo came and grabbed her drink, then drank it all
down as revenge for what Su-jin did when they first met at the convenience store. After that,
Chul-soo helps Su-jin who almost became a robbery victim when someone snatched her bag when Su-jin
was about to stop a taxi. Chul-soo then takes the initiative to take Su-jin home in his Jeep
filled with construction tools. Even though she feels uncomfortable at first, Su-jin seems happy
that Chul-soo is nice to her. The next day, Su-jin does her makeup and brings Chul-soo some food.
However, her boss informs that Chul-soo can't come to their office because there is urgent
work on the project. Therefore, Su-jin rushed to the project site to meet with Chul-soo.
However, a shy Su-jin runs away and hides when she sees Chul-soo coming with his co-workers.
That evening, Su-jin returns to see Chul-soo, but she comes with her friends this time. While
drinking together, Chul-soo tells Su-jin that they will officially be dating if Su-jin manages to
drink one glass of soju in one go. Su-jin accepts Chul-soo's challenge and succeeds in doing it.
Since then, they have finally officially become lovers. Su-jin is happy again and her life has
become more colorful since dating Chul-soo. Even though his demeanor is a bit harsh and cold,
Chul-soo turns out to be very kind and considerate of her. Su-jin discovers and learns new things
when she is with Chul-soo. On the other hand, Chul-soo begins to change his appearance to
be more presentable and smells good after dating Su-jin so that she feels comfortable around him.
When Su-jin visits Chul-soo's apartment, she finds out that Chul-soo is the construction site's
foreman who is studying to become an architect. One day, when Su-jin is on vacation with Chul-soo,
she recounts her past with Young-min and about her returning to Young-min's apartment to retrieve her
belongings and return his apartment keys. However, Chul-soo doesn't respond and says that now Su-jin
is his girlfriend, and there's no need to think about other men anymore. With the help of her
friends, Su-jin makes a suit for Chul-soo when he is about to take the architect exam. Her friends
are still wondering why Su-jin could fall in love with a man as rude and cold as Chul-soo.
But Su-jin ignores them because her heart is filled with love for Chul-soo.
Over time, Su-jin and Chul-soo's relationship grew more intimate and intimate, until one day,
Mr. Kim is curious because her daughter seems so happy lately, then asks her to introduce her
boyfriend to her family. Mr. Kim is curious and wants to meet and know more about the man who has
made her daughter happy and cheerful again. Su-jin looks flustered when her father asks her to meet
her boyfriend. Su-jin is afraid that her father will disapprove of her relationship with Chul-soo,
who only works as a construction worker. On the other hand, she also doesn't know how Chul-soo
will react when he meets her family. When Su-jin told Chul-soo about her father's desire to meet
him, Chul-soo refused, emphasizing the difference in social status between them. Even though Su-jin
sulks and tries to convince Chul-soo, he sticks to his point. One night, when Su-jin and Chul-soo had
dinner together at a restaurant, suddenly her parents came with her younger sister. Su-jin
pretends to be surprised, even though she plans to bring Chul-soo and her family together. Chul-soo,
feeling trapped, is about to leave. But Su-jin holds his hand, begging him to stay. Su-jin then
excuses herself for a moment to go to the toilet, leaving Chul-soo and her family. At first, Mr.
Kim doesn't seem to like that his daughter is in a relationship with one of the construction workers
at his company. Mr. Kim looked down on Chul-soo a little because of their different social statuses.
However, when he saw Chul-soo's sincerity and how much he cared about Su-jin, and how Su-jin
was very happy when she was with Chul-soo, Mr. Kim finally melted and approved of their relationship.
Long story short, Su-jin and Chul-soo finally officially become husband and wife
and lead a happy married life in Chul-soo's humble apartment. Chul-soo finally gets an architect's
diploma and lands his first job as an architect. However, problems arise when Su-jin begins to
forget small things such as failing to turn off the stove or even forgetting the way back to her
house. That night, Su-jin struggles to remember the way home and when she finally gets home,
she looks relieved to find Chul-soo waiting for her. Because she often forgets about
small things like that, Su-jin finally decides to have her condition checked by a doctor named Lee.
Doctor Lee questions Su-jin a few things while recording their conversation. After their first
meeting, Doctor Lee then asked Su-jin to come over next week and have another checkup. Meanwhile,
Su-jin is shocked to learn that Young-min will be her new boss at the office. Su-jin tries
to act casual and ignores her ex-boyfriend's presence now that she has Chul-soo. However,
Young-min wants to reconnect with Su-jin, even though he already knows that Su-jin is married.
On the other hand, Chul-soo who now works as an architect, moves to a company and has
a comfortable office space. His career as an architect continued to increase.
Su-jin then returns to visit Doctor Lee for a checkup, where she finally finds out
that she has Alzheimer's disease, and Doctor Lee asks her to resign from her job because of her
condition. Su-jin is shocked to learn that, and she can only cry in frustration all the way home.
Su-jin then expresses her desire to stop working to Chul-soo because she wants to take care of the
household and have children. Although at first Chul-soo had questioned Su-jin's sudden decision,
he did not mind his wife's wishes. However, as time goes on, Su-jin's condition worsens,
and Chul-soo begins to suspect that his wife is hiding something from him. Chul-soo then finds out
what his wife is going through, directing him to Doctor Lee. Chul-soo is shocked to learn that his
wife has Alzheimer's disease and repeatedly urges Doctor Lee to do a re-examination, hoping that the
doctor is wrong and his wife doesn't have the condition. After learning that Doctor Lee has a
wife who also suffers from Alzheimer's disease and struggles to cure her, even though in the end his
wife dies of the illness, Chul-soo finally melts and begins to accept Su-jin's condition. Doctor
Lee then shared his experience when he was still treating his wife who suffers from Alzheimer's
with Chul-soo, so that Chul-soo could care for and assist his wife in dealing with her illness.
On the other hand, Su-jin who was forced to leave the house because she had to meet Young-min,
suddenly starts to lose her memory, doesn't even know how to use her cellphone. Su-jin looks happy
when meeting with Young-min because she remembers the man as her boyfriend.
However, after spending some time with Young-min, her memory of Chul-soo suddenly comes back,
and she rushes away from Young-min. Meanwhile, looking for his wife's whereabouts,
Chul-soo looks panicked and confused because he can't find her anywhere.
When Chul-soo finally meets Su-jin, his wife suspects that he already knows everything.
With tears in her eyes and filled with deep sadness, Su-jin reluctantly asks Chul-soo to
divorce her because she doesn't want to make Chul-soo suffer. Not only that, but Su-jin
also becomes heavily burdened by the knowledge that she will forget her beloved husband.
But Chul-soo refuses to leave Su-jin because he loves his wife very much and promises to always be
a memory for Su-jin. They then hugged each other while crying to support and strengthen each other
in the face of all that would happen. Afterward, Chul-soo fills their house with sticky memos
to remind Su-jin not to forget the basics and their memories. Chul-soo also makes an ID card,
so that Su-jin doesn't bother others when her illness flares up while she's out of the house.
One day, Chul-soo finds his wife at home with Young-min, where Su-jin assumes that Young-min
is her boyfriend, while Chul-soo is someone else. Even though Young-min had explained everything,
and Chul-soo had found out about Su-jin's condition with Alzheimer's disease,
he still felt jealous and beat Young-min. Their fight stops when Su-jin's family comes
there with her mother and adoptive father at Su-jin's invitation before losing her memory.
Chul-soo then reveals Su-jin's condition to her family and they all look very shocked to learn
that Su-jin has Alzheimer's disease. Mr. Kim suggests that Su-jin stays with her parents
so they can take care of her. But Chul-soo insists on taking care of his own wife no matter what.
When everyone has left, Chul-soo, who is planning to build his dream house with Su-jin,
then asks her what kind of house she wants to live in. Chul-soo listens to Su-jin's request
attentively, even though his wife's memory hasn't fully returned and she still doesn't remember him.
Chul-soo then tells Doctor Lee about Su-jin's condition, where he is afraid that Su-jin will
really forget about him forever. However, Doctor Lee strengthens Chul-soo and encourages him by
saying that Su-jin's memory is only temporary. One day, after Chul-soo leaves for work,
Su-jin starts reading every memo that Chul-soo has posted at their house as a reminder.
When looking at her photos together with Chul-soo, Su-jin's memory finally returns completely,
which makes her cry in frustration because she thinks Chul-soo is someone else and she keeps
mentioning Young-min. Su-jin feels very guilty for her husband who has been taking care of her
and being by her side, but she can't remember him. While she still remembers everything, Su-jin then
writes a letter to Chul-soo stating that she only loves him now and forever, even though one day she
won't be able to remember him again. Finally, Su-jin decides to leave their home and check
herself into an assisted facility. In her letter, Su-jin ordered Chul-soo to meet her father,
who turned out to be making divorce papers for his daughter at Su-jin's request because she didn't
want to burden Chul-soo and make him suffer. But Chul-soo refuses to divorce Su-jin and tears up
the divorce papers, then tells his father-in-law that he will not divorce Su-jin because he loves
his wife no matter what. From then on, Chul-soo seems dazed and frustrated because he misses and
worries about his wife so much. Chul-soo tries to find his wife's whereabouts but can't find
her anywhere. Until one day, Chul-soo found a letter sent by his wife in his home mailbox,
where in the letter, Su-jin said that suddenly she remembered everything and decided to write
a letter to Chul-soo because she missed him. Long story short, Chul-soo finally finds Su-jin
at a hospital in a remote area, where Su-jin was sketching Chul-soo's face when they met.
However, Su-jin doesn't remember Chul-soo at all and thinks of him as a stranger.
Even so, Chul-soo is relieved that his wife is now in intensive care and is fully accompanied by a
nurse who takes care of all her needs. Despite his grief, Chul-soo remains at Su-jin's side
even when his wife doesn't remember him and hides his eyes behind sunglasses when he visits her so
Su-jin can't see his tears. Chul-soo then enlists the help of a nurse to accompany Su-jin outside
the hospital, where he plans to relive memories of when they first met at the convenience store.
Although at first Su-jin felt confused when she was in front of the convenience store,
she still walked in there, and when she passed Chul-soo at the entrance, she spontaneously
took the canned drink Chul-soo was holding. After entering the mini market, Su-jin sees Doctor Lee,
a mini-market cashier who returns Su-jin's wallet and canned drinks. There was also her family and
Chul-soo's parents and all of their friends who looked at Su-jin with emotion and sadness while
trying to hold back the tears that were almost spilled. Su-jin also feels very happy because she
can remember all of them, including her husband. Chul-soo then takes his wife's hand, leading
Su-jin away from there, where they both seem to be smiling happily. In the final scene, Su-jin
is riding in a car beside Chul-soo at sunset, and he tells her that he loves her and Su-jin smiles
happily and hugs her husband affectionately. Through this film, we are shown that true love
does not look at the background and social status, such as Su-jin who falls in love with Chul-soo
and still loves the man even though they have different social statuses. True love also requires
great sincerity and sacrifice as shown by Chul-soo who still loves Su-jin regardless of his wife's
condition, even though he knows that one day she will forget him forever. Loving someone with all
their strengths is easy, but loving someone with all their flaws is the true power of love.
