Helen, who caught the subway, met handsome James in the carriage, but when he was depressed, she just responded indifferently to James's enthusiasm. Back home, Helen suffered the second big blow in the day. She discovered that her boyfriend, who lives by writing, had fooled around with other women at home. Helen, who had lost everything overnight, made up his mind to change his mind and start again. She changed her hair style, started her own business, and started a new relationship with James. But not long after, she ran into James and his wife to visit his mother in the hospital. Helen, who thought she was being deceived again, was heartbroken. On the streets of rainy night, James explained to Helen that he was already divorced and his kind-hearted ex-wife was just helping him to hide from his seriously ill mother. The two finally released their suspicions, but just as Helen was about to re-enter James’ arms, the rushing truck knocked her to the ground...
In another time and space, Helen, who missed the subway, was robbed again, when she was wounded. When he returned home tiredly, his boyfriend's lover had already left. Helen, who was kept in the dark, worked hard as a waitress in a restaurant in order to help her boyfriend realize her dream of being a writer. Not to mention the boring work, she also encountered her boyfriend's lover deliberately making things difficult. The paper couldn't keep the fire out, and Helen, who was pregnant, finally discovered her boyfriend's adultery. She grabbed the door and accidentally fell down the stairs. Helen miscarried, and James' mother died of illness. The two missed at the subway station finally met in the elevator of the hospital. But in the face of James' same strike-up, Helen gave a different answer. Another sliding door slowly closed. This time, is it destined to meet or miss?
I watched this movie in my dormitory when I was in college. After watching the film, a class of students argued over which of the two Helens was luckier. Some people say that it was Helen who caught up with the subway. Although she died young, she had already experienced true love. Others said that Helen who missed the subway was alive. Although she suffered misfortune, after all, she was still alive, and being alive meant hope. Who knows?
Our life is connected by countless choices and countless accidents, and every choice and every accident is like a sliding door, leading our destiny in different directions. We will never have the opportunity to go to the other side of the door and take a look. Many times we don't even know which door has changed our lives forever.
As sung in the episode of this film, we have all imagined this more than once-if only i could turn back time. But, I never can.
