It is 1997 and Sung-hyun, the first owner of "Il Mare" is moving in and finds in his mailbox the Christmas card from Eun-joo. Thinking it was a joke, Sung-hyun leaves her a letter telling her so and reminds her that its 1997 not 1999.

    Yes, this is unquestionably a sentimental romance, that leaves you in no doubts to its credibility, but it is also wonderfully stagesd, shot and acted. A real heart warmer.

    A film that makes no apologies about it's sugary, and yet, it works well. The whole sci/fi element is even more surprisingly very well used, and wisely enough, doesn't complicate itselfs with too much explanations.

    A film about lonely people meeting the righ way and in the rig...( read more)ht time. I really have my doubts that the remake emanates the same sincerity, not to mention it has probably two of the most wooden actors in the history of cinema. So, go for the original people.

    See this before hollywod screws it up, or at least, see it to comapre the two. A story about loneliness, loss, finding love in unlikely places, and great architecture. For everyone who at one point in their lives, wanted to turn back time...

    Has a little more harder edge than its American remake "The Lakehouse".
