Comments: An ensemble sad daydream. Death, disease, and heartbreak all around. How to make a sad movie sadder? Make four of them and weave them together into one. The last bit with the videotape is way over the top (ridiculous), but, as sad as things are the film's touchingly cute characters and their scenarios work to hold back tears. It's all just sad. They should call this "Sad Movie."
Summary: When Lee Jin-woo rescued Su-eun from a fire they both defied the odds in surviving. He fell in love with her older sister, Soo-jeong Lim, who now desires the brave fireman to propose marriage thinking that this will make him less fearless in facing the flames and lessen her greatest fear. He wishes to do so, but his romantic streak causes him to seek the proper moment. Su-eun works as a "character" in an amusement park.
