Synopsis
On a rainy day in 1983, In-Woo (Byung-Hun Lee) meets Tae-Hee (Eun-Joo Lee) and experiences love at first sight. But just as their love ripens, In-Woo must leave for mandatory service in the army. On her way to see him off, Tae-Hee dies in a fatal car accident. Fast forward to spring 2000. Now a high school Korean teacher, In-Woo meets a male student who reminds him of Tae-Hee. He has the lighter than Tae-Hee gave In-Woo as proof of her affections, and says the same words that Tae-Hee once said to him. In-Woo soon finds himself in love with the student…

View Point
With sensual visuals and beautiful dialogue, the movie raised controversy with its subject of homosexuality and the transmigration of souls. But in the end, what the movie tries to get across is the message of eternal love. As In-Woo says in his narration at the film’s conclusion, ‘I will meet again and love. I don’t love because I love; I love because I cannot but love. That is why I love you.’
