A tragic, unrequited, but touching love story.
The story takes place in the year 1999.
Yeon Doo and Bo Ra are two childhood besties.
One day, Yeon Doo meets with a stranger at their shop and gets a crush on him.
She tells her best friend, Bo Ra, about this and refuses to go for heart surgery in the U.S.
Bo Ra promises Yeon Doo that she'll help her to get every detail about her crush and that she must go for her heart surgery in the U.S. and come back healthy.
After coming back from successful heart surgery, Yeon Doo asks Bo Ra about her crush, showing a photo that Bo Ra sent her before.
But suddenly Bo Ra was stunned, as in this photo there were 3 people: Bo Ra,Yeon Doo's Crush, and a guy whom Bo Ra likes, and the guy whom Yeon Doo is pointing at is the other guy whom Bo Ra actually likes.
She suddenly realises that all along she had guessed the wrong guy and Yeon Doo's actual crush is the guy whom she loves.
Bo Ra chooses her friendship over her love and tries every attempt to get Yeon Doo and her ( Bo Ra's) lover closer, despite the fact that it's actually tormenting her inside.
But eventually, Yeon Doo finds out the truth, and she's devastated, thinking Bo Ra simply made a fool out of her.
But after so much thought, Yeon Doo slowly understands Bo Ra's intention and attempts to fix all the misconceptions by telling everything about her to the guy Bo Ra loves.
Bo Ra finally reunites with her lover on the day of his departure to a foreign country.
He promises that he'll definitely come back for her and tells her (Bo Ra) to wait for him.
After many years of waiting, Bo Ra finally meets with her lover's younger brother instead of him and gets a package from him containing the old memories of Bo Ra and her lover.
At the end, a startling reality is revealed that leaves Bo Ra and the viewers in tears.
My personal thoughts:-
Many viewers are going to despise this movie after this twisted ending.
But I found this ending adoptable.
Even though I'm disappointed by the ending, I do believe that a distinct outcome would have been far better and more palatable.
We can't always have our way while things are happening.
So, even when we're watching a drama, there are moments when this kind of ending isn't at all loathsome.
So, if you think you're this open-minded, give it a shot; otherwise, if you can't stand unfavourable outcomes, try something else.
