Plot

Yoon-Hee is so harassed by her husband's obsession and frantic love, that even breathing is painful to her. One day, her sudden suicide attempt is foiled when someone takes her in his arms and saves her. Hyung-Jun is a rough-looking detective. He asks nothing, but maybe he knows that for some people, just being alive is hard enough. Yoon-Hee goes looking for Hyung-Jun, and from the moment she sees him, feels that he already loves her deeply. Because she knows it is totally impossible to be free from her prison of marriage, the peace and happiness she feels at Hyung-Jun's side is heartbreaking and frightening. Hyung-Jun, used to his life of loneliness and despair, loves Yoon-Hee at first sight, but as he can't do anything for her, just lets her go. The only thing he can do is to offer her and himself some comfort.

I spent FOUR hours searching for this movie after seeing a music video for 4Men (Can We Love Again?) using footage from this movie. Altho sensing the ending, I watched it anyway because of the intensity of the two leads. The detective's buddies are awesome too. I look forward to seeing other movies with these two actors.
