I can see your face everywhere I look
But everywhere is nowhere without you
What seemed to be like days was just a moment in time
But it meant the world to me, cuz I knew
What I’ve been searching for all of my life
I had it right here - in front of my eyes
And what I’ve wished for was nothing compared to what I received
When you were here with me
And if you’ll never come back
And today was all that we had
And if I won’t see tomorrow with you in my arms
It won’t matter because
Now I know what it’s like to be loved… my…
You’re so far away but I feel you so near
It’s like you never left me - never said good bye
I can hear your voice in the crowd
I can feel you touch me right now
I can see you smile when I close my eyes
And I hold on to that every night
To help me understand - when I ask myself why
Of all the people out there - you chose to be with me
To share a love so rare
And if you’ll never come back
And today was all that we had
And if I won’t see tomorrow with you in my arms
It won’t matter because
Now I know what it’s like to be loved
What a beautiful thing - to feel your love within
Like a child that sees the sunshine on the first day of spring
Just to know it’s true - there is someone like you
Who can make me believe there is nothing I can’t do
If you’ll never come back
And today was all that we had
And if I won’t see tomorrow with you in my arms
It won’t matter because
Now I know what it’s like to be loved… my…
To be loved…
But everywhere is nowhere without you
What seemed to be like days was just a moment in time
But it meant the world to me, cuz I knew
What I’ve been searching for all of my life
I had it right here - in front of my eyes
And what I’ve wished for was nothing compared to what I received
When you were here with me
And if you’ll never come back
And today was all that we had
And if I won’t see tomorrow with you in my arms
It won’t matter because
Now I know what it’s like to be loved… my…
You’re so far away but I feel you so near
It’s like you never left me - never said good bye
I can hear your voice in the crowd
I can feel you touch me right now
I can see you smile when I close my eyes
And I hold on to that every night
To help me understand - when I ask myself why
Of all the people out there - you chose to be with me
To share a love so rare
And if you’ll never come back
And today was all that we had

To be loved…
Plot/Summary of The Movie:
The first segment of the film, staged in romantic comedy style, introduces the protagonists, a woman named Su Jin and a man named Chul Soo. The movie highlights their accidental meeting in a convenience store and confusion over a can of soda, followed by their subsequent courting despite the social standings that should have kept them apart. Kim Su-Jin, a 27 year old fashion designer, being spurned at the train station by her lover, a colleague who is 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 the forgiveness of her father, decides to start life afresh.
One day while accompanying her father, who is the head of a construction site, in making his rounds, 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 also aiming to become an architect. Chul-Soo may appear like a rough and dirty construction worker initially, but he does exude sheer masculinity in its most basic physical form and is pretty handy when it comes to carpentry or house repairs. Su-Jin instantly takes a liking to Chul-Soo and in what is a refreshing change, actively courts Chul-Soo. There are many sweet events that take place in the event of their courtship which eventually lead to their marriage.
The second segment follows the couple now settling into married life. Su-Jin learns to be a housewife as her husband cares for her. But as the segment progresses, Su-jin begins to display forgetfulness, including an incident in which a fire breaks out because of a forgotten stove. While Chul Soo caught the fire in time, the seriousness of the incident and others draw them to seek medical help.
The third segment involves the revelation of Alzheimer's disease and the couple's consequent response to it. Su Jin is heavily burdened by the knowledge that she will forget her husband and hides it from him at first until he seeks advice from the doctor himself. Despite the disease, they make the commitment to stay together and as the disease progresses, the trials the couple go through increase because of Su Jin's forgetfulness.
The fourth segment reveals Su-jin in the final stages of the disease and the grief Chul Soo experiences because of it. Yet he remains beside her, despite her lost memory, hiding his eyes behind sunglasses when he visits her so she can't see his tears. The end of the movie finishes off with Chul Soo replaying the first time they met in the convenience store with all her friends and family in the store. In the final scene, Su-jin is riding beside her husband in the car in the sunset, and he can finally tell her, "I love you."

Some comment.....
"A korean movie tag as a near perfect masterpiece in 2004. The flick has
been picked up by Hollywood to be recycled. It will be interesting to
see how they will remake this film and if it will stick with the western
audiences."
Tumbs Up....Love this movie so much....so pure from Heart.
