Welcome to Storyflix.
In this video, we will explain Longing Heart.
This movie tells the story of a man who regrets letting his first love go ten years ago
because he didn't have the courage to confess.
However, he gets the chance to win her again when he travels back in time.
Unfortunately, he has a strong competitor: himself from ten years ago.
Will Shin-Woo succeed in getting his first love again?
Let's find out in Longing Heart.
Longing Heart tells a story of a twenty-eight-year-old man named Mr. Kang,
who works as a high school teacher.
Mr. Kang is a homeroom teacher,
and the class president in his class is a student named Kim Min-Seok.
In fact,
Min-Seok is Mr. Kang's best friend, as well as Choo Geun-deok and Jang So-Ra.
Ten years from now,
Min-Seok and So-ra will become a married couple.
There is then a girl who is Mr. Kang's first love named Han Ji-soo in that class.
Meanwhile, a young man who sits not far from Ji-soo and always looks at the girl is Kang Shin-Woo,
who was none other than Mr. Kang when he was eighteen years old.
The scene then switched, one month earlier,
when Mr. Kang is talking with his two best friends,
Min-Seok and Geun-deok, who are now adults, who think that Mr. Kang has never been in love
and loved a woman since ten years ago because he has never been in a relationship until now.
His two best friends then advised him to go to the doctor.
After the doctor made an in-depth diagnosis,
Mr. Kang had absolutely no problem with his sexual orientation or anything else and stated that he was fine.
In fact, he finds it difficult to fall in love
because he still has a feeling for his first love, namely Han Ji-soo.
After leaving the doctor's office, Mr. Kang accidentally meets Han Ji-soo,
a doctor at the hospital.
She looks shocked when they both pass each other
because she never expected to meet him after ten years had passed.
Moreover, she thinks that her reunion with him is terrible.
She then rushed to leave him, but he immediately chased after her.
She seems to have been let down by him so that she looked so irritated when she met him.
After Mr. Kang's reunion with Ji-soo,
which didn't turn out well, he flashes back to his first meeting with her on the bus.
At that time, Mr. Kang, who is still a high school student named Shin-Woo,
is immediately attracted to Ji-soo, a transfer student.
Because two people play the same character in this movie,
I will call an adult, Kang Shin-Woo,
as Mr. Kang, and Kang Shin-Woo,
who are still high school students, as Shin-Woo.
Shin-Woo then helped Ji-soo down from the school fence, and he immediately felt pleased
because she appreciated his kindness.
However, when he starts to really fall in love with her,
it turns out that someone else, named Joo-Hwan, has confessed his love to Ji-soo first.
Although, in the end,
Ji-soo rejected Joo-hwan, Shin-Woo knew that she had fallen in love with someone.
Since then, he gave up on getting her love.
Turning back to the present, after returning from the hospital,
Mr. Kang then returns home and meets Na-Hee,
who turns out to be a friend of his older sister, Shin-Hee.
Shin-hee then reminded her brother that day actually was the death memorial
of their mother, and he seemed to have forgotten about it. He then returns to the room, where he
finds a book in which there is a letter written by Han Ji-soo for him. Ji-soo asks Mr. Kang to
meet her at a bridge in the letter. Without any consideration, he then rushed to the bridge.
However, an incident occurred when he suddenly got into the water and traveled to the past, ten years
ago. But he apparently did not realize it until finally, he saw his mother standing in front of
him in good health. At first, he thinks that he is dead because he met his dead mother until finally,
he finds out that he has returned to the past, somehow. Not only that, but Mr. Kang then seemed
very surprised when he met himself, namely Kang Shin-Woo when he was only eighteen years old. To
cover his identity, Mr. Kang pretends to be a new teacher at a new school and asks all his students
to call him 'Mr. Kang'. The meeting between Mr. Kang and Han Ji-soo was then quite impressive.
Because he got the opportunity to go back in time, he intends to change his past about his
love relationship with her so that he can be with her when he returns to the future. It was
Ji-soo's first day transferring to the school as well as Mr. Kang's first day teaching there.
One time, Ji-soo and Shin-Woo, who are classmates, have become close friends.
Min-Seok and Geun-deok, who know that Shin-Woo is in love with Ji-soo, then advise him to confess
his feelings. At first, they suggested Shin-Woo for approaching Ji-soo through social media.
But he was too embarrassed to do so, even after Mr. Kang helped him.
Mr. Kang has even done many ways to bring him and Ji-soo closer, but it seems that these ways
are not very effective because Shin-Woo is so awkward and shy when dealing with Ji-soo.
As time goes by, with the help of Mr. Kang and the support of his friends,
The relationship between Shin-Woo and Ji-soo is finally getting closer. But on the other hand,
Ji-soo and Mr. Kang's relationship is closely intertwined as well. Because of that,
Shin-woo looks annoyed and jealous when Mr. Kang is always on Ji-soo's side and acts as if he knows
everything about her very well. One day, Mr. Kang and Shin-Woo find that Joo-Hwan is confessing his
love for Ji-soo in front of everyone. Although, in the end, she rejected his declaration of love,
Shin-Woo didn't feel happy because he found out that she had liked another man.
One time, Ji-soo accidentally finds out that tomorrow is Mr. Kang's birthday.
On the other hand, since tomorrow is his birthday, Shin-Woo plans to ask Ji-soo on a date
and confess his love for her. he then puts a letter under her bag. But when she found it,
she thought that the letter was written by Mr. Kang so that she felt very happy. After school,
Shin-Woo intends to buy a ring for Ji-soo, while she seems to buy new clothes that she
plans to wear on a date with Mr. Kang. On the other hand, Min-Seok and So-ra's relationship
seems to be getting closer because they are neighbors. Min-Seok felt touched when So-Ra
took some pictures that he threw away because she thought that the pictures were pretty good.
He actually dreams of becoming a comic artist, and he feels happy because she supports him. The next
day, Ji-soo is already waiting at the appointed place, but it turns out that Mr. Kang went alone
with Na-Hee instead. Ji-soo is hurt, then meets Shin-Woo, who tries to cheer her up. However,
he feels heartbroken when he knows that she really likes Mr. Kang. On the other place, Mr. Kang turns
out to be taking Na-Hee for drinks at a bar where Geun-deok works part-time. However, when Geun-deok
saw the two teachers coming, he then hid under the table, where he finally found out that Mr.
Kang is from the city and attended the same high school as him. Meanwhile, Shin-Woo and Ji-soo,
who are both sad that their date didn't go well, finally try to cheer up each other. However,
realizing that she really likes Mr. Kang, Shin-Woo then encourages her to confess her love for him.
Accompanied by Shin-Woo, she finally dares herself to confess her love for Mr. Kang.
Hearing Ji-soo's declaration of love, Mr. Kang was very surprised because it was not at all
what he expected. On the other hand, even though Shin-Woo is the one who accompanies
Ji-soo to confess her love for Mr. Kang, he still feels very jealous and then leaves them.
The problem becomes more complicated when the relationship between Ji-soo and Mr. Kang grows
closer; the distance between Shin-Woo and Ji-soo's life is getting further and further. On the
other hand, Geun-deok experiences an unexpected incident, where he accidentally kisses Na-Hee,
who is none other than his own teacher. This makes him feel very guilty, as well as fall
in love with her. Even though Shin-Woo already knows that Ji-soo loves another man, he can't
just turn away from his love for her. He still shows his concern for her and often helps her.
Shin-Woo, who is filled with anger at seeing Ji-soo and Mr. Kang's closeness,
then triggers a fight with another student that causes him to be punished for fighting at school.
That night after getting home, Shin-Woo, who felt annoyed, then decided to throw away the ring he
was going to give to Ji-soo. However, without knowing by him, Seong-jin caught him throwing
the ring away and picking it up. On the other hand, Mr. Kang meets Ji-soo and says that he can't
accept her feelings of love because he only sees her as his student. Suddenly she feels very sad
because her love was rejected by him. When they were about to go home, suddenly, there was a small
fire caused by a cigarette stub that was thrown by Seong-jin carelessly. Because of the incident,
Ji-soo and Mr. Kang are trapped at school all night, and the next morning, Shin-Woo is the first
to come to school and finds out that Ji-soo and Mr. Kang were alone at school all night, despite
the fact that they were trapped. However, Shin-Woo still feels irritated and jealous because the girl
he loves is alone all night with Mr. Kang. The teachers are investigating the fire incident
and have found evidence that the fire was caused by students throwing cigarette stubs carelessly.
Several bad students were called to be investigated about the fire incident, but none
of them wanted to confess. Seong-jin then goes to meet Shin-Woo and forces him to admit that the
fire incident was caused by him. At first, Sin-Woo refused the request, but after Seong-jin showed
him the ring that he threw away and threatened to tell Ji-soo about his love for her, he finally
accepted Seong-jin's request. Shin-Woo finally gets punished after admitting that he was the one
who caused the fire. But Mr. Kang doesn't believe it, nor does Shin-Woo's mother, who was called to
school because of the incident. Mr. Kang tries to do everything he can to save him from punishment.
He then warns Seong-jin not to make a problem and admit to what he did. Despite receiving the
punishment that made Shin-Woo painful, he felt a little happy because Ji-soo became so careful of
him. After that, Mr. Kang finally finds out that So-Ra and Min-Seok are finally dating,
and he hopes that Shin-Woo will have a brave to confess his love for Ji-soo and stop acting like a
coward. Elsewhere, Shin-woo, who is at his house, is surprised by his mother, who is wondering about
the ring on his desk. His mother thought that he was in love and wanted to confess his feelings to
a girl by giving her a ring. But he avoided the conversation and said that he had bought the ring
for his mother. Shin-Woo then goes to Ji-soo and tells her that Mr. Kang intends to move out of
their school. Therefore, the next day Ji-soo left early for school to meet Mr. Kang before he left.
The farewell was painful for both of them, but he felt that he should leave because his
job was done. Before leaving, Mr. Kang meets Shin-Woo's mother, who is his mother as well,
and she begins to notice that he has quite a lot in common with Shin-Woo. Mr. Kang then advised
his mother not to travel for the next few days, considering her mother's death that would occur
in the next few days. He then tries to return to the future with the same river that took him to
the past. But it didn't work, and he is still in the past, even though he's tried several times.
On the other hand, Geun-deok starts to openly approach Na-Hee. He doesn't even care that she
is his own teacher. Meanwhile, Ji-soo seems to be starting to like Shin-Woo and looks worried when
she hears the news that he will go abroad after graduating from school. Meanwhile, Mr. Kang was
involved in a small incident with Shin-Hee, which caused his identity card to be left behind, and it
was finally taken by her. Because she thought the identity card belonged to her brother, Shin Woo,
she then told her mother about it and thought Mr. Kang had stolen her brother's identity card.
However, her mother realized that Mr. Kang was most likely Shin-Woo from the future,
who somehow managed to come here. She then left and intended to investigate something.
On the other hand, Mr. Kang knows that his mother has left, then rushes to call Shin-Woo and ask him
to meet him. Shin-woo, who at that time was with Ji-soo and was about to confess his love for her,
was very surprised when Mr. Kang informed him that his mother would die soon and that they
must hurry to save her. Shin-Woo immediately left Ji-soo without confessing his feelings and rushed
to meet Mr. Kang then. Mr. Kang told Shin-Woo that he was himself who came from the future.
Shin-Woo could not believe his words, but Mr. Kang managed to convince him using their fingerprints.
Their mother turned out to be going somewhere by boat. But when they arrived at the harbor,
the ship carrying their mother had already departed and had an accident.
Mr. Kang tries to save his mother by jumping into the water. But it actually brought him back to the
future. He thought that what happened in the past was just a dream. But he soon realized that it
wasn't a dream after realizing that some things had changed. A few moments later, he finally
realizes that he can go to the past and return to the future at the time of his mother's death.
Having experienced it in the past, Mr. Kang realizes that Ji-soo will have an accident that
day, so he rushes to save her. After successfully rescuing Ji-soo with the help of Seong-jin,
who has become a police officer, Mr. Kang then expresses his love for her.
However, at the same time, Joo-Hwan comes to see Ji-soo, where it turns out that the two of them
already have a fairly close relationship, and he works as a doctor at the hospital. Mr. Kang,
who was irritated and jealous, rushed home, but when he got there, how surprised he was when he
found out that Shin-Woo was at his house. It turns out that in the past, Shin-Woo then jumped into
the water to save his mother as well. But he instead carried into the future with Mr. Kang.
In front of his family and friends, Mr. Kang introduces him as his student.
Shin-Woo then accidentally meets Ji-soo and finds out that in the future, she has a close
relationship with Joo-Hwan. He then scolded Mr. Kang for failing to get their first love,
even in the future. One day, Shin-Woo's hand was sprained, and he had to be hospitalized. Since the
doctor who treated him at the hospital is Ji-soo, he takes the opportunity to approach her. Though
Joo-Hwan intends to propose to her. Moments later, Mr. Kang is drinking with his friends,
and they then invite Ji-soo to come, though she never hangs out with them again due to suddenly
disappearing for ten years. At the time, when Ji-soo was drunk, she finally revealed
that her first love was Shin-Woo, not Mr. Kang, who used to be her teacher.
Mr. Kang and Ji-soo then visit their old school to remember their time together in high school.
On the other hand, Shin-Woo sneaks into Ji-soo's office and accidentally finds the ring he bought
to gift her. Shin-Woo was sure that he had given a ring to his mother. But how come she can have it?
Even though they already know each other's feelings and love each other, Ji-soo says
that she can't have a romantic relationship with Mr. Kang, and that makes him wonder about her
reason. Shin-Woo then told Mr. Kang that Ji-soo to keep the ring that was given to their mother.
After conducting the investigation, Mr. Kang finally finds out that she was at the harbor
on the day his mother died. Ji-soo then reveals that his mother gave her a ring in return for her
boat ticket. Because Shin-Woo's mother died in the ship accident, Ji-soo becomes very guilty to him
because she has caused his mother's death indirectly by giving the ship ticket.
Because of this, she decides to walk away from his life for the past ten years because she feels bad
for him. Mr. Kang then tells Shin-Woo about it, and they decide to still love Ji-soo and accept
their mother's death. Shin-woo then meets her and reveals that he is the Kang Shin-Woo from
the past, where he confesses his love for her. But on the other hand, Mr. Kang decides to let
Ji-soo go if she doesn't want to be with him. The next day, Shin-Woo finally returned to the past.
But he was still in touch with Mr. Kang in the future by exchanging messages, in which Shin-Woo
then promised him if he would try to fight for his love so that the future could change. Even so,
Shin-woo still couldn't change his mother's destiny, which she still died on the appointed
day. However, he and Mr. Kang received the last message from his mother that was so touching.
After facing many obstacles and difficulties, Mr. Kang and Ji-soo can finally become a happy
couple and love each other, while in the past Shin-Woo was determined to live his life well
and was braver in confessing his feelings. In the end, So-Ra and Min-Seok remain a happily married
couple with their daughter. Mr. Kang and Ji-soo have now become couples who love each other,
while Geun-deok and Na-hee are now dating. The moral that can be learned from this
movie is that first love will always be the most memorable and valuable in life
and will not be timeless even though it has gone through many obstacles and difficulties.
