So I'm the type of girl that rarely watches movies to do with romance and also, I prefer comedy. Something that will make me laugh throughout a movie.. I'm only 16, so why should I get sad over love? What do I understand about it?..Anyways I decided that maybe I should watch a Sad romance for once. So I watched ' A Moment to Remember' and the name of this movie is so strong and I realised how it relates to the movie so much. As always, the first parts of movies don't really get to you that much, and nothing serious really tends to happen. However, as I got to the middle I started getting feels for what was going on in the movie and honestly, by the end of this movie i wasn't even shedding tears... I was practically crying a river! Water poured out of my eyes, after every scene that I watched. This is a very intense movie, and it changes my perception and opinions on love. After watching the movie, I watch it again and again.. The soundtrack and music used in this movie really has an impact on you. Every day, I walk through life, blinded and clueless of things that could potentially happen to my loved ones. To be specific, this movie has allowed me to cherish the love I have for my boyfriend quite a lot. Just knowing that anything could arise and the fact that life can be very cruel no matter how much you can love each other. I listen to the sad music that was played in the movie and it's inspired me so much that I've even learned how to play it on piano.. Because it gives me the feels. It's opened my eyes up so much, and this is true life. How her husband appeared to be this arrogant and insensitive guy.. To actually trying to not give up on his wife, and loving her regardless of her health. Most guys out there probably wouldn't handle the situation and would leave. So this really shows me how love can be so pure, and a beautiful thing. It's just, very intense when it all goes wrong. Also, I love how the end and start relate to each other. She met him, because she was forgetful, and she's left him, because she's forgetful. But, anyone who is thinking about watching this, I would say... You will definitely cry, especially if you're sensitive. 10/10 rating! I love this movie and it's my favourite. :)

Traveling to the cinema in South Korea must be one of the single most excruciating pastimes when one considers the emotional features their country is known for producing - imagine, 200 South Koreans, sitting in a room with a massive screen, bawling their eyes out, as the most melodramatic material plays out before them. A Moment to Remember is beautifully representative of this, and though some have previously criticized the feature as resembling The Notebook, not only is the film vastly different, it is also superior.Based upon the Japanese TV program Pure Soul, the feature opens immediately with Su-Jin (Son Ye-Jin), a young woman who experiences forgetfulness on a daily basis. As she later admits, it was her poor memory that led her to meet Cheol-Su (Jung Wu-Sung), who she later has difficulty placing when she happens to bump into him once again. Ms. Ye-Jin is absolutely phenomenal in this role, the desperation and tearfulness she articulates while trying to remember something, coupled with the blankness in her eyes when a memory has completely been erased, making for a truly heartbreaking experience. This is furthered by the performance of Mr. Wu-Sung, both of the leads having superb on-screen chemistry that brings the gorgeousness, and the agony of their relationship, to life.The visuals, from the lavish openness of the natural environment Cheol-Su intends to build their dream home upon, to the hominess of their residence, is sublime at capturing the affectionate beauty of the world that exists around the characters. The costumes brilliantly suit the leads as well, both in their occupations, and their personal lives, but it is the attire they wear to their wedding that is easily the most glamorous, capturing the romantic atmosphere of this touching moment.Although Su-Jin's memory deteriorates over time, rather than the tragedy been an instant occurrence, we, the audience, helplessly and painlessly watch as the gorgeous couple begin to experience the unforgivable pain that comes between them, their love, and their memories, though Cheol-Su's determination to remain by Su-Jin's side is possibly the most painfully beautiful occurrence of all. It should already be colossally obvious that this feature is bound to cause some tears, the later stages of the feature especially requiring tissues.Originally loathed by some of her co-workers for instigating a relationship with a fellow individual in their department, Seo Young-Min (Baek Jong-Hak), a married man, prior to the commencement of the film's storyline, as Su-Jin's memory begins to fracture, and Seo ventures back into her life, desperate to rekindle their affair, Su-Jin begins exhibiting difficulty attempting to differentiate the past, from the present.Though Su-Jin later stipulates how Cheol-Su never vocally admitted his love for her, the tears he sheds, after admitting he couldn't cry no more after experiencing a painful upbringing, brilliantly visualizes the agony he suffers each time he looks at the woman he loves, only to have her look at him like a stranger. The performances by the other cast members assist in further drawing the viewer into the world of the characters, and though the doctor who discovers Su-Jin's condition, D Lee (Kwon Byung-Gil) is blunt and unforgiving in his description of her mental affliction, he captures the unsympathetic realism that so many doctors demonstrate in reality.The script, which accentuates the dramatic elements, alongside using occasional humor, is delightful, and the soundtrack, that is designed to help the audience comprehend the feelings taking place during the accompanying moments, is equally excellent. Occasionally cute, touching, sad, but always honest in its depictions, A Moment to Remember is not a film that can be watched - it has to be, for it is dramatic excellence at its finest.

I have been OCD with South Korean movies for the last months. But A moment to remember its one of the best for sure. I love the music, specially the Spanish music,, the actors and their the acting, of course the great story to tell. The way the stories develops, how they make us fall for this characters, I love how they are very romantic and passion about each other but always respectful pure when they are together. So real and painful, so romantic and sad.. Totally in love with Woo- Jung for ever. this movie on my top 5 favorite South Korean movie. And one of my favorite movies. Completely recommend Big time, cause more men need to take all the tips from Woo's character. Hollywood needs to learn from them fast. Cause they make better movies with better actors a way better stories
