life has become a boulder pushed by Sisyphe, and there is no choice.
In 2004, Jung Woo-sung and Son Ye-jin's "Eraser in My Mind" ("A Moment To Memory") told such a story. Soo-jin (Son Ye-jin) met Choi Cheol-soo, a construction worker from her father's construction company, at a convenience store because of amnesia. A series of unexpected opportunities followed that brought the two together. Cheol-soo also passed the architect exam with hard work and started. own new life. However, everything became heavier as Soo-jin's amnesia worsened. The two faced the cruel tricks of fate, and love was powerless in the face of medical reality. Cheol-soo tried his best to keep Soo-jin's memories of love, but it was always to no avail. , when Soo-jin looked at him bewildered and asked who he was, when Soo-jin looked into his eyes and called out his ex-boyfriend's name affectionately and said "I love you", despair overwhelmed him like a flood, but it couldn't Give up...
This is a typical Korean tearjerker movie, the excellent acting of Jung Woo-sung and Son Ye-jin makes people experience the charm of a classic Korean love fairy tale again, when they hold hands and drink under the table of the roadside snack stand With that cup of sake, when Soo-jin was crying on the side of the road after learning of her illness, when Cheol-soo and Soo-jin dreamed of a new house on the foundation of the house, we seemed to be back in the innocent times when we first watched Korean dramas. Although the idea is the same as that of the western film "Fifty First Loves", the Korean-style interpretation is more tear-jerking.
However, this film also has problems with insufficient foreshadowing, abrupt plots, and lack of portrayal of other characters' personalities, such as the end of Yongmin, the acceptance of Soo Jin's family, the reconciliation between Cheol Soo and his mother, and the story between Cheol Soo and his master It's all too simple. If the movie is extended to two hours, the explanation of the plot should be clearer.
The following is an excerpt from the interview of the two leading actors for your reference:
Interview with the lead character If your lover suffers from amnesia...
Reporter: You are both the most popular stars, what is the reason for choosing this movie together?
Son Ye-jin: I loved watching romantic films that made me cry when I was a child, and now I finally have the opportunity to make such films, and I'm very happy. In addition, the role of Soo Jin has many sides, not only cute, but also the contradictory side of brave and world-weary, I think it is very complicated and challenging.
Zheng Yucheng: The subject matter of this film is very nostalgic, but the technique is very fresh. When I choose the script, I often rely on my intuition. This movie gives me the feeling that it is very fateful. When I read the script, I already feel that I am a philistine.
Reporter: If your lover really suffers from amnesia, what would you do?
Son Ye-jin: I would like to part with him sooner rather than later. It may be painful for the first 5 or 6 years, but it will be worse if you wait until his condition worsens before breaking up. A happy breakup seems more beautiful than a helpless breakup.
Zheng Yucheng: I don't know, it's too difficult to answer. Maybe I will stay by her side like Zheshu in the movie, until one day she can't remember anything and her mind goes blank. But it's really scary because I remember everything that happened.
