In conclusion, love that cannot be repeated

Before watching it, I always felt that the plot was very old-fashioned, but the heroine lost her memory, and then she had to retrieve her memory. Until I saw the end, I realized that this movie is really not a Korean drama, but life.
In drama stories, there's always a character who gets hit in the head in a car accident and loses his memory. No matter how much I think about it, I find it ridiculous, including when I watch this movie. But the beginning of this drama does not lead to the end of the drama as always.
Whether you admit it or not, I believe that most people watch it all the way, hoping that the heroine can retrieve her memory, and everyone is happy. While this will give you an excuse to say that the show is as bloody as a Korean drama, you're still hoping it will end that way as always.
But this time, the movie didn't turn out as you expected.
The beginning of a drama often happens in life, such as hitting the head and losing memory, a tangled relationship comes to the end, or a mistress appears in the relationship, and so on. It's the beginnings of so many dramas in our lives that we find inspiration to write these stories. In order to make the story interesting or complete, we often let the amnesiac people find their memories, let the tangled feelings find the node to solve the problem, let the mistress leave, and let the feelings return to fullness. But calm down and see, in fact, these are all complaints about the too different endings in our lives, and visions for self-comfort.
Some feelings are separated by the mistress and can't be found again; some feelings are too entangled and can't be sorted out anymore; some memories are lost dramatically and can't be found again. This is reality.
So I was stunned, thinking why the heroine didn't find her memory at the end? When I saw the subtitles at the end of the movie, I suddenly felt relieved: it turns out that this is actually life, real life.
The past is often irreversible. What is lost often cannot be regained. This matter, from this movie, we can have a little experience of fighting cattle across the mountain. So as the best vision is not to hope for a fresh start, but to look forward to a better next segment. Whether this paragraph is with the next person or with the same person before, some things can be rethought once again, so that you can start from a better perspective. And I believe that this better next paragraph will be much happier than a complete restart. Reality has its cruelties, but luckily it always gives us a chance to start the next segment, no matter who you want to be with.
