I loved this and hated it at the same time. A young lady has a heart transplant & goes to a beautiful island to recuperate. Whilst there she meets a lovely young man who plays the trumpet to the sea. This is a romantic, soppy, melancholic, tear-jerker of a film, so be warned lol. I actually didn't mind the romantic build-up of this film (for once), I thought it was done beautifully & I enjoyed seeing the relationship between the two leads develop. Unfortunately, right from the beginning of the film, you can work out the "twist" which takes away a lot of the enjoyment (in my opinion) & makes it even sadder than it already is. Overall, the acting is decent, the scenery is beautiful and if you enjoy melancholy films then you will probably like this one. Personally, I think the predictability is what really lets this film down & the ending could have been a lot better.

Annoyed me to death and had me pondering if someone would jump off that cliff...

Yes this review is pretty much all spoilers and me b*** about this movie, so brace yourself!


This is the story about the girl who got a heart transplant by peep hole surgery, and moved far, far away from any type of hospital to recover... Despite the surgery the girl seemed to experience shortness of breathe and had magic medicine to help her with that... Immune suppresents, foodlimitations and other stuff did not make the cut.

But not only did the girl receive a heart, she seems to have traded in half of her body as she pretty much got possessed by the ghost of her doner, became delusional and put her self in harms way making me wonder if this story was made by the anti organ donation lobbyist who would ultimately make her jump/fall/ be shoved off the cliff by her doner.

However she does seem to survive, and even though she basically ignores and pretty much cheats on her boyfriend with a ghost, nobody seems to care about that... like at all... preferably because anything goes if you have had surgery. The way she goes between the boys is almost fashinating. It was also pretty obvious that the boy was a ghost.

So yes I spent most of this movie cursing and thinking oh come on wtf... ?I(#€Q€OSF SDF


That said we do get to see some pretty great scenery, a really cute dachshund flashes by and we also get to see dolphins.

So if you shut of your brain and do not mind this type of story go for it the execution is not bad... as for me I bearly made it though.. .but do feel that seeing that dog and dolphin made up for some of the waisted time and annoyance this caused letting me give this a 6and not a 3 which it probably deserves...

This is one of those films that make you happy and sad at the same time, like Heaven's Postman. Just beautiful to watch.

I literally just was searching through Viki's Japanese collection and this one popped up randomly and I started watching it. I didn't even know what it was about.

But this turned out to be such a beautiful, cinematic, atmospheric movie I kept getting sucked in.

Byung Hun seriously had me bawling. The whole cast was just right.

The script was unique, and the visuals mesmerizing.

Not like much

I didn't watch the whole movie completely ,in skip mode I had watched because I felt it boring .Girl went to heart surgery to recuperate she went to an island type place where she met a boy with whom she spent somedays and then she came to know that he was the boy who donate her hearts and he was no more and he came to her dreams and asked her to come to the place where he played trumpet.
So how much I watched it, it is a boring and little bit emotional movie.
Acting is good of all the characters.

This movie was a collaboration of Japan and Korea, and whenever they work together, it ends up a masterpiece. This movie was extremely original and I was pleasantly surprised with how it executed the mixtures of gorgeous scenery and intricate stories. The acting could have been better, but the actors fit the characters very well. I think this is one of those eye opening movies that make you have different views afterwards. This in now one of my favorite movies.
