2:18 AM-Faizal-
just now i managed to catch Thursday Midnight Movie on Channel 8. seriously, it was very touching. i always love watching Korean Romantic movies cause it always tends to soften my heart. =) the title of the story is '' a man who went to mars '' aka '' a letter from mars ''.
the movie was romantic yet funny right from the beginning. the girl, So-hee, lost her father at the age of 7. but she thought that her father only went to mars. trying not to let the girl's hope in despair, the guy, Seung-jae, stayed up late at night just to write letters to her, pretending to be her father. once So-hee lost her gift from her father before he passed away in the river. Seung-jae took the courage and dived into the river. he never gave up to find the gift. somehow, he managed to find her gift from the river and return it back to So-hee. the movie goes on as they grow older and So-hee moved to town where she worked in a big company. Seung-jae became a post man afterwards.
So-hee returned back once to visit her grandmother and well catch up with the past with Seung-jae. one of So-hee's shoe fell into the river while they were on Seung-jae's bicycle. Seung-jae did not went to retrieve it as the river was rapid at that moment. they sat side by side, like during their childhood times, and counted their multiplication timetable. i kinda smiled during that moment cause it was very touchy. after a few days there, she returned to town. Seung-jae's feeling grew deeper for her every day but there were too far apart to see each other so he sent her letters. after a few weeks she never replied his letter, he decided to went to town to check her up.
however, she met a rich business man and they fell in love with one another. when the business man propose to her, she only wanted one thing from him. '' I want you to promise that you won't die without me. '' she said that because she lost her father when she was so happy living together. Seung-jae knew about their relationship when he was visiting town and well, felt pretty upset. so he returned back to his country side, with all his hopes of being with So-hee going down the drain. however, the business man broke his promise after he went bankruptcy and left her all alone. Seung-jae and his family had to move out as the whole country side was going to be demolished and be turn into a dam.
Seung-jae never forgot all the letters that have been sent and received by So-hee during the past years. before moving out by the lorry, he collected all the letters and kept it by his side. he sat at the back of the truck, with his brother drove the truck. halfway through the journey Seung-jae jumped out of the truck and headed to the river where he then decided to retrieve So-hee's lost shoe. he dived into the river and all the memories were clear there. he saw his childhood memories in the river. he smiled. a year later, So-hee received a letter from an unknown person. she knew that it was from Seung-jae as the package contained So-hee's lost shoe.
So-hee was never so happy in her life and went back to the country side to find Seung-jae. on her way there, she stopped at a nearest inn near to the country side for a 1 night stay there. surprisingly, she saw Seung-jae's father there. she was delighted and asked where Seung-jae was. sadly, Seung-jae drowned in the river upon retrieving her shoes. So-hee then finally realize that her one true love was by her side all this time and mars really exist if she really looks deep in her heart. for the first time in her life, she post a mail to mars.
