A Korean Movie

I happened to watch a late night korean movie showing on channel 8.

I was so moved by it. It's the kind of movie that could make you want to cry.

Seriously, the story was so dramatic that I wanted to cry to the point of saying, "God, let me cry."

I shed two only though, one for each eye but the emotions and the heaviness of the heart that I felt after watching was really indescribable. I think it was a great movie and sadly I don't know the title.

It's about this guy who meets a girl on the subway and he instantly falls in love.

He finds himself in the same university as the girl and also happens to join the same book readers club.

Later on he confesses his love for her but he rejects him saying it is only infatuation.

The guy never stopped loving her even when she got married.

In some accident, the girl loses both her parents and husband and decides not to let other people into her life lest she lose them again.

The guy decides to woo her and persists and finally the girl's heart is softened a bit.

They get married and the guy does his best to make her happy.

In time, she started to become happy again.

But she was always a sickly person.

Soon, she becomes pregnant and is overjoyed. Her life seems so perfect.

Alas, she has stomach cancer and either abort the baby or die in labour.

She decides to keep the baby and not tell her husband that she would die if she kept the baby.

Abortion was also not an option because her weak body might not be able to conceive again even after the abortion.

The guy is kept in the dark until he somehow finds out through a close friend that the girl would die after giving birth.

He doesn't let the girl know that he knows to respect her wishes.

He takes a year off from his work and spends the time with his wife.

Both of them cry at night secretly.

At one point they were sitting on a bench looking at the sea. The guy asks her if she wants anything.

She requests that he be the one to change the diapers making it seem like she doesn't like to do it. She also says he should make the milk for the baby because it's tedious.

Teaching the child ABC's would be troublesome for someone like her who is impatient.

Actually she was making the guy promise to take care of the baby.

They don't look at each other and with tears in his eyes the guy says, "I'll take care of everything. Don't worry."

;_;

I wanted to cry buckets.

In the end, the girl dies and leaves behind a beautiful baby girl.

The guy takes care of the baby girl.

The movie ends a few years later and the guy and daughter were sitting at the same bench reading a book that the mother left behind. It was a children's book that tells the child to say I love you to everything, to the trees, to the sky, and last to the father.

Too bad I didn't watch it from the beginning so I have no idea what's the title.

The show is even more dramatic than I have described.
