The film was released on November 5, 2004, in South Korea. It was a major success domestically, topping the box office for two consecutive weeks to become the 5th highest-grossing film of 2004 at 2,565,078 admissions.[2] The film was also a hit in Japan, breaking previous records of Korean films released there; it was the 19th highest-grossing film at the 2005 Japanese box office.[3][4]
The first act of the film introduces the protagonists, a woman named Su-jin and a man named Chul-soo. The movie highlights their accidental meeting, followed by their subsequent courting despite their difference in social status that should have kept them apart. Kim Su-jin is a 27-year-old fashion designer, spurned by her lover, a colleague who was also a married man. Depressed, she goes to a convenience store, where she bumps into a tall, handsome man with whom she has a slight misunderstanding. Following that, she returns home and, receiving her father's forgiveness, decides to start life afresh.
One day while accompanying her father, who is the CEO of a construction firm, she coincidentally meets the man whom she earlier bumped into at the convenience store. He is Choi Chul-soo, the construction site's foreman who is studying to become an architect. Though he initially appears like a rough and dirty construction worker, Chul-soo exudes sheer masculinity in its most basic physical form. Su-jin instantly takes a liking to Chul-soo and actively courts him. There are many sweet events that take place in the occurrence of their courtship, eventually leading to their marriage.
The second act follows the couple happily settling into married life, with Chul-soo designing their dream house and Su-jin learning to become a housewife. As time passes, however, Su-jin begins to display forgetfulness, including an incident in which a fire breaks out because of a stove she'd forgotten to turn off. While Chul-soo caught the fire in time, the seriousness of the incident and others like it led them to seek medical help.
The third act deals with Su-jin's early-onset Alzheimer's disease diagnosis, and the couple's consequent response to it. Su-jin at first experiences denial, then becomes heavily burdened by the knowledge that she will forget her husband. Nevertheless, they make the commitment to stay together and as the disease progresses, the trials the couple goes through increase because of Su-jin's deteriorating memory. Finally, Su-jin makes the decision to leave their home and check herself into an assisted facility.
Despite his grief, Chul-soo remains at Su-jin's side even when she doesn't remember him, hiding his eyes behind sunglasses when he visits her so she can't see his tears. At the end of the film, Chul-soo reenacts the first time they met in the convenience store, with all of Su-jin's friends and family there. In the final scene, Su-jin is riding in a car beside her husband at sunset, and he tells her, "I love you."

Su-jin: Forgiving... isn't that hard. It's just... giving away just one plain room in your heart. My grandpa said so. A true carpenter... is the one that can build a house in his heart. But in the house you've built. So well in your heart... You gave all the rooms away to your mother and to your hate. And where are you? And you're shivering outside the house. I understand. I know it's hard to forgive. But... My dad remembered that piece of wisdom... and forgave me when I almost ran off with a married man... and he permitted our marriage so easily. You know why? Forgiving... is giving your hate just a little room in your heart.
The moments when you register what life is really about. Like when your husband touches your shoulder, turns to you, and kisses you. Says lets not lose that ability to kiss. To say I love you. After 25 years, this is a moment that keeps me going.
Or when your daughter holds your hand. As a teenager, these moments are so precious. So much of the time is just trying to get through the day. To not react and show love. In that moment, however, there is a registering of love, trust and future.
Everyday can be difficult. We confront the winter, with its foot of snow, crazy cold, and dark grey skies. The push to keep going takes a bit extra effort. But you push- You have to. That is part of living. Without it, there is no purpose.
In the piece highlighted titled Enchantment- there is a moment in the sun. Inspired by a vintage postcard from Palm Springs, this piece remeniscent of the mid century poolside fun. A place to escape from the demands of life and just enjoy the day. Full of color and animation, the piece captures the image in an impressionist style. The light within the color and brushwork.
On Memorial Day, our nation remembers and reflects upon the loss of the service members who have had a profound impact on preserving the freedoms we enjoy daily. By honoring the memory of their service, we sustain the spirit of these fallen heroes. And, we also remember their families, who sustained their service.
When I think about the heroes we have lost, I also think of the time lost with their families. I think of the incalculable value of eating an ordinary family dinner together, watching your son or daughter play soccer, or taking a child fishing. For those deployed, and those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice, that time is lost forever; they will never get those moments back and neither will their families.
Reflecting on my 31-year Air Force career, and the friends I have lost in the service, brings Memorial Day into sharp focus for me. My military specialty was air mobility, and when I was not flying transport/tanker aircraft, I was the officer on staff responsible for the air mobility mission.
Often, and especially on Memorial Day, I think of the families of those heroes and what it would be like to get the devastating news that a mother, father, son, or daughter was gone forever, and how many lives were changed permanently at that moment.
All Americans can take part in honoring those we have lost by joining the national moment of remembrance. You can participate by pausing for a moment of silence at 3 p.m. local time on Monday afternoon.
The next day, she brought the students into her research lab to test their memory of all the objects they had seen on the tour. Whenever they remembered a piece of work, she asked follow-up questions about specific visual details.
This time when people took a tour of the museum, they were asked to take two kinds of photos: those of the objects in the exhibit alone and those with them standing next to the objects. Afterward, Henkel had the subjects look at all the photos and interviewed them on their memories of what they saw.
If a participant in my Bored and Brilliant photo-free challenge were given a prize for the day, it might have to be Vanessa Jean Herald, whose green Subaru skidded off the highway and into a snowy ditch during her one-hour commute between the southern Wisconsin farm where she lives and her job in Madison. Although she had to wait more than two hours in frigid temperatures for a tow truck to arrive, Herald did not lose her resolve!

There were countless memorable moments for me here at Yonder during the last 10 years, but among them, one stands out as a defining moment in my career. It was a transformative moment that shaped me into the professional I am today.
As different names and remarkable accomplishments echoed through the room, I marveled at the hard work of my coworkers, applauding their success and taking pride in being their colleague (employee of the year, best debut, most supportive colleague, etc). Suddenly, amidst the swirl of applause, I was caught off guard by a familiar but unexpected sound. My own name reverberated through the crowd. I had been awarded the "The most promising young talent" prize.
The figurine that accompanied the award found a spot in my house and I still have it after all these years. It wasn't solely about the prize itself; rather, it was the implicit trust and belief that my colleagues had placed in me. That moment of recognition held far greater significance than I could have imagined. It breathed life into my aspirations and infused me with confidence. The award affirmed that others saw my potential and acknowledged my dedication, fueling a relentless drive to achieve even greater heights. Armed with newfound assurance, I tackled new projects, unafraid to take risks and venture beyond the boundaries of familiarity.
Now, what does photography have to do with my hoarding tendencies? Photographs are
my way of finally catching the elusive moment and keeping them forever in my memory. They
are proof that this moment existed long enough for me to capture it, that it was worthy enough to
remember.
