A Day 2017 Hey what's up guys.
Today I'll show you a mystery-thriller film: "A Day"! Spoiler ahead, watch out and take care!
The movie begins with Doctor Kim sleeping inside the plane. The plane's captain
announces that in 30 minutes, they will land soon at Incheon International Airport.
It's 9:58 AM. Kim wakes up and sees his assistant, snoring beside him. He's about to wake him up,
when a flight attendant suddenly approaches him for an autograph.
Kim accepts the magazine with a front cover of his face, and signs it.
The assistant eventually wakes up, and even volunteers to take them both a picture.
The plane lands shortly, and Kim and his assistant stand in the autowalk.
Kim tries contacting his unresponsive daughter; while the assistant patronizes him,
saying that he shouldn't have forgotten her birthday. Kim glares at the assistant,
and blames him for reserving a press conference for him on the exact day of her birthday.
Suddenly, someone calls the assistant to tell him that they have a VIP exit pass in the airport.
However, Kim doesn't want to use it. Meanwhile, the daughter hangs out with her
school friends, comparing their father's jobs and efforts to them as parents. However, it seems she
has a bitter relationship with her father, because he's always on business trips, and misses her
birthdays. Amidst their chatting, she receives a phone-call from her father; but she ignores it.
Back in the airport, a mother starts shouting her son's name. The boy collapses,
and gasps for air, and Kim rushes to help the choking boy. Kim applies three hits on his back,
and the lollipop finally comes out of his mouth. The people applaud him; and the assistant expects
Kim to give a speech; but Kim only leaves the scene quickly.
Afterward, they're ready to leave the airport, when a group of reporters are unexpectedly
waiting for Kim to answer their questions. Kim has no choice, but to meet and answer
questions from the press. One of the reporters asks why he left three years ago from the
hospital, in spite of being the youngest doctor in the facility. Kim then begins explaining his
daughter's near-to-death situation three years ago; but the assistant intervenes to stop him,
and assures the press that his daughter is doing fine now.
After the conference, Kim says goodbye to his assistant, and enters his car with bags
of chocolates for his daughter. Upon entering his car, he receives a text message from his daughter,
saying she's embarrassed by the interview he made on live TV.
Eventually, they reconcile, and Kim excitedly drives his car on his way to meet his daughter.
He first stops by the toll gate, and pays the toll-booth attendant. But the attendant drops
his coins and immediately apologizes. Kim offers to grab the coins himself; but the attendant stops
him and gives him another set of change instead. After that, he continues his way into the city.
Afterward, Kim arrives at the junction, and encounters a car crash. Kim checks his
clock that says 12:12 PM. He doesn't want to be late for meeting his daughter; but as a doctor,
he's obligated to give immediate medical responses to anyone in need of his services.
He goes to the crash site, and introduces himself as a doctor. Then, he examines the taxi driver,
and carries him out of the driver's seat. The mini ambulance arrives soon,
and the man inside gives him an ambu bag for the taxi driver. He returns to the orange cab,
and checks the woman's pulse in the backseat. Sadly, the woman didn't make it.
The main ambulance arrives shortly, and quickly gathers the bodies involved in the incident.
Kim informs the head paramedic of the other victim across the road,
and lets the paramedics handle the situation. He returns to his car and contacts his daughter;
but he freezes in place, when he hears a man's voice. The man says that the phone's
owner is involved in an accident. Just then, a realization hits Kim. He faces across the road,
and sees the head paramedic from earlier answering his daughter's phone.
Kim drops his phone, runs across the street, and removes the sheet covering his daughter's body.
He's petrified, while watching the paramedics move his daughter's body into the ambulance.
unexpectedly, he's back on the plane, thinking it's all a dream. But Strangely, the things he
saw in the dream, appear to be similar to his present now. Starting from the flight attendant
wanting his autograph, to the assistant's words in the autowalk, to the choking boy in the airport,
to the press conference, to his daughter's text about being embarrassed by him,
and to the attendant in the toll gate. Everything is the same, including the car
crash on the intersection road, and Kim's daughter's dead body across the street.
Then again, after approaching his daughter's body, Kim wakes up on the plane.
This time, he memorizes the sequence of events. He first grabs the boy's candy to prevent him
from choking; then he uses the VIP exit to avoid the press conference. He texts his daughter that
they're canceling their celebration for today. the daughter receives the text, and immediately
calls her father to confront him. the daughter gets emotional, and accuses her father of hating
her for always canceling their plans. She then compares him to her friends' parents;
while he abandons his own child. But Kim says he doesn't hate her, and wishes for her to understand
why he canceled the plans; but the daughter insists on continuing their celebration.
And so, the daughter walks at the same junction on her way to their meeting place,
while Kim speeds up his car, doesn't pay the toll gate, takes a shortcut on the road,
but suddenly gets stuck in traffic. When he arrived, the incident had already occurred.
For the fourth time, he wakes up in the plane, steals the boy's candy, maneuvers the shortcut,
but crashes in an alley corner, because he's avoiding the running man on the street.
So he walks on foot. but when he arrives at the site, it's already happened.
For the fifth time, Kim memorizes the taxi driver's cell number; so for the sixth time,
he can contact him, and says that he's going to be part of a car accident at a school junction.
However, the taxi driver ignores him. He saves the boy from choking, and then
uses another road to reach his daughter quickly. This time, Kim catches his daughter crossing the
pedestrian lane, while eating candies and listening to music. Kim shouts her name,
while honking the car's horn. The clock strikes 12 PM, and the orange taxi runs
against his daughter. The orange taxi crashes in the middle of the road, while his daughter
flies in the air, and drops to the ground. Kim approaches his daughter's body slowly, and
kneels in front of her. He blames himself that if only he arrived early, she could still be alive.
Suddenly, a frantic man grabs Kim, demanding his identity, and questioning if he remembers him.
The man introduces himself as Mike, the mini ambulance driver who lent Kim the ambu bag.
It appears Kim is not the only one experiencing being stuck in a time loop.
This time, Mike retells the first time the loop happened to him. After giving the ambu
bag to Kim, Mike helps the paramedic to continue pumping onto the taxi driver,
until he recognizes the woman in the backseat. He enters the taxi, and sees his dead wife.
Mike wakes up in his apartment, and immediately contacts his wife;
but she's not answering. So he rides the mini ambulance, and arrives at the crash
site exactly at 12:04 PM. He checks the backseat again,
and comes to realize that everything happening on repeat, is not a dream.
Again and again, Mike wakes up, trying to contact his wife or prevent her death.
but everything still ends up with his wife dead, Until he sees Kim different from the
rest of the people. He observes him, and then finally approaches him, and says that they
both live on the same day over and over again. Kim says the day will end soon, because their day
resets around 12:30 PM. So they agree to meet once the day resets, so they can formulate a plan.
The day resets as expected, and Kim and Mike meet on the side of a construction
site. They need to save their wife and daughter, if they want to end the loop.
Kim then reminds Mike that if his wife didn't ride the taxi, the accident wouldn't happen. Mike
must call his wife to prevent her from riding the taxi; but he reasons she never answers his call,
because they are in a quarrel. So Kim offers to call Mike's wife on the next reset;
but if she doesn't answer, he's going to change the meeting place with his daughter,
in order to avoid the accident. but again, the daughter doesn't answer his father's calls.
Still, they need to change everything they can, hoping the day will change.
So on the next reset, Kim attends the press conference. He tells his daughter
to meet him at the Central Park, 12:30 PM, and not at the pasta restaurant.
Afterward, Kim calls Mike's wife to stop her from entering the taxi. However, it's too late, because
the wife has called for the taxi and entered inside. Therefore, the accident happens again.
Once again, Kim and Mike meet on the construction site.
The loop never ends, as long as they never save their wife and daughter.
So in every reset, they do something new to stop their wife and daughter from dying.
This time, Mike goes to the police station with a bloody head, then reports to the
police that he's a victim of a hit-and-run by the orange taxi. The police-patrol immediately
searches the street for the orange taxi, while Mike rests in the police station.
Mike remembers the night before the day, where he and his wife argued about having a baby in
their family. Apparently, Mike told her that they couldn't have a baby, because they're not rich.
He wanted to wait for his promotion before having the baby; but the wife wasn't happy about it.
Mike returns to the police on the desk, and demands him to go to the junction quickly,
while frantically watching the ticking clock strike 12.
Meanwhile, Kim arrives at the junction at exactly 12 PM, along with the police patrol. Fortunately,
there are no incidents on site. Kim is surprised to receive a call
from his daughter, who tells him that she's in Central Park. So he
goes to the park to meet his daughter there. After successfully keeping their family alive
at 12 PM, Mike emotionally calls Kim, and they plan to eat dinner that night.
Kim arrives in Central Park, and searches for his daughter. He calls her, and promises that he's
going to send her to school everyday, then buy her chicken and food, which makes his daughter happy.
Meanwhile, the police patrol finally finds the orange taxi stuck in traffic.
They confront the taxi driver, but he drives away, and speeds up into Central Park.
Mike quickly calls Kim, upon hearing the police warning on the radio.
However, Kim answers a different call, and hears an unfamiliar man's voice,
telling him that changing the location is useless, because his daughter's going to die either way.
The voice says that his daughter is supposed to be dead three years ago;
and when Kim asks who he is, no one answers. Kim searches for his daughter across the park,
and eventually finds her in the park's mini library. He embraces his daughter, and shields
her from the orange taxi, speeding towards them. Mike arrives in Central Park, and sees both Kim
and his daughter dead. Then, he sees his wife's neck is bruised from strangulation.
Apparently, the wife took the taxi and got killed by the taxi driver.
Once again, the day resets; and Mike immediately contacts Kim.
Mike explains to him that the taxi driver intends to kill their families in the first place.
Mike ponders how the taxi driver knew the new location; and Kim answers that the
taxi driver watches his press conference, because the driver is in the loop too.
Therefore, they can't escape from him, either. Not only that, Kim adds that the man who called
him from the park, is the taxi driver, who had apparently known him from three years ago.
To learn the taxi driver's identity, Kim goes to his office;
while Mike visits the nearest police station. Mike strikes the police guarding the desk;
so he can use the police system computer. Upon investigating, they learn the taxi
driver's name is Kurt. That name brings Kim and Mike to recall the event three years ago.
In the flashback, Kim's daughter needed a heart transplant to live.
Kim proudly shared with her that she could go home now that she had a heart donor.
Unfortunately, his colleague said that the donor suddenly refused to donate the heart, which would
leave his daughter only a few days to live. Meanwhile, Mike on the road, was busy changing
the radio to the point, where he almost collided with a car.
He swerved the car in time, but accidentally caused the other car to slip and turn.
Mike immediately brought the two passengers of the turned car, Kurt and his young son,
to the same hospital where Kim worked. Back in the present time, police caught
Mike after assaulting a police officer. But still, he manages to find Kurt's
address just in time, before the next reset. On the next reset, Kim visits Kurt's home address;
while Kurt is in his orange taxi, waiting for Mike's wife to leave her school.
Mike arrives next in Kurt's home, and confronts Kim about his unethical act.
It turns out, Kim forged an authorization letter for organ donation. despite Kurt
being unconscious, He used Kurt's fingerprint to authorize the donation
of Kurt's dead son's heart for Kim's daughter. Mike gets mad at Kim for doing such an unthinkable
act, especially when he's a doctor. Meanwhile, Kurt mercilessly kills Mike's
wife and Kim's daughter on the road. On the next coming resets, Kurt tries
to find where Mike's wife goes during the day; but he fails to obtain new information at all.
Kim and Mike regroup again. Kim wants to save Kurt, so he can apologize to him;
while Mike searches for his wife, and plans to kill Kurt for good.
Kim brings Kurt to the medical supply room, and gives the jext
shots for Kurt's severe allergies. Every time he injects him a dosage,
Kim apologizes and reasons with Kurt not to kill his daughter, because every father
in the world would do anything to save their child. However, Kurt tells him that he's going
to kill his daughter at every opportunity he has, in exchange for his son's life.
Unfortunately, hospital nurses enter the medical supply room, and restraints Kim to the ground.
Meanwhile, Mike goes to the hospital to visit his wife, after learning that she's three months
pregnant with their child. Afterward, Mike calls Kim to inform him that he has found his wife.
They expect the 12:30PM reset; but the time is already 12:50 PM. Mike wonders why the day
isn't resetting. It's because Kurt isn't dead yet, after Kim dosed him with a lot of JEXT.
The nurses try reviving Kurt; but they fail to save him. After his death, the day resets.
On the next reset, Kim finally knows how to stop the loop. So he warns Kurt to run away,
because Mike is going to kill him; but Mike is already inside the taxi.
Mike stabs Kurt with a knife; but he retaliates. As they fight, Kurt accuses Mike of abandoning
them after the car incident; but Mike clarifies to him that he brought them to the hospital.
Kurt manages to remove Mike from the taxi,
and drives straight to the school junction to kill Kim's daughter.
Meanwhile, Kim races to the junction, and drifts his car to protect his daughter
from the zooming taxi. The taxi flips in the air, and Kim manages to save his daughter.
Their families are now saved, and Kim needs to save Kurt from dying,
to prevent the day from being reset. While Kim tries to remove Kurt from the
crushed taxi, he explains to him that he's the reason why the day keeps resetting,
possibly triggered by his hate. After numerous tries of pulling Kurt from the car,
Kim manages to save Kurt from Mike, who plans to run the car at them.
Kim stops Mike from killing Kurt; but Mike accidentally stabs his heart.
Meanwhile, Kurt approaches Kim's daughter and embraces her. They sit beside Kim's car,
and allow the explosion from the leaked gas to kill them both.
The movie ends with the day resetting for the last time. Kurt finally meets Kim's daughter
without killing her; and the girl sends a picture of them together to her father. Then,
Kim exchanges a box of chocolates with the boy in the airport, to keep him from choking. Meanwhile,
Mike finally reunites with his wife, and tells her that they're keeping their baby girl. Then,
Mike unexpectedly receives an apology by text from Kurt. He also suggests naming their baby
girl the same name as Kurt's son. As for the girl, Kurt shows her a picture of Kurt's son,
and tells her that his favorite food is chocolate. She then realizes that ever since the surgery,
her favorite treat has become chocolate, because Kurt's son is inside her now.
At the airport, Kim wants his assistant to admit in the press conference that
he committed a serious and unethical act. Kim wants to let everyone know the truth,
because it's the right thing to do, so Kurt can receive justice for his son's death.
