Il Mare (Lee Hyun-seung, 2000)-Korean Romantic Movie
In 1997, Han moves to a magnificent seaside house where he discovers a letter by a girl named Kim in the mailbox, which states that she was the previous owner of the house, and asks to forward her an important letter that will eventually arrive. Han initially thinks this is a farce, since he is the first person to live in the house, a notion that is strengthened when he realizes the letter is dated in 1999.
Eventually, he responds to the letter, only to discover that Kim actually lives in 1999 and the two of them share a communication beyond time.
Lee Hyun-seung focuses on two axes. The first and most obvious one is the relationship between the two, and particularly if they manage to meet and form a relationship. The second one is the change the two of them experience through a relationship that could only be attributed to a miracle.
The two protagonists have a peculiar interaction since their relationship occurs without them sharing scenes. In that fashion, Hyun-seung managed to create a romantic film that is far more than standard.
