In the year 1999, a young woman leaves her quaint seaside house and returns to the city, leaving in the mailbox a card for the next owner, with instructions to forward any mail of hers to the new address. In the year 1997, a jaded young architect moves into the same house--and finds the letter. His reply, which he slips into the mailbox, finds its way to her, beginning a parallel-time love story separated by a span of two years.

I liked it. It was nice but a bit slow. It sure is unique and I tried my best to fully grasp the idea. I also love Jun Ji Hyun so much so my judgement can be biased.

[spoiler]"Time works in mysterious ways"[/spoiler]. That's probably the best way to sum up this movie. While it's not a joyful movie, especially when you take into consideration the actual ending - [spoiler]the one where he dies[/spoiler]-, it still gives you a slim of hope that, [spoiler]somewhere in a different timeline, they managed to overcome their loneliness; that she saved him, and eventually found happiness, either alongside him or thanks to him (and vice-versa)[/spoiler]. Overall, it's a nice movie to watch if you like romantic dramas with original twists, a gray color palette and a slow pacing to let things think in. The only reason I didn't enjoy this movie more is because I've already seen "The Lake House", which is the American version of this movie.
