Korean Movie: IL Mare
Here’s another Korean movie that I have watched. IL Mare (2000) is above all a fantasy, dreamy romance. When Kim Eun-Ju (Jeon Ji-Hyeon) leaves her waterfront house called “IL Mare” to move into a newly built apartment complex, she leaves a letter to the next occupant asking him to forward her mail. Han Sung-Hyun (Lee Jeong-Jae) moves into “IL Mare,” the house designed by his estranged architect father and built by his aunt. He finds the letter in the mailbox. What’s so special about the letter? He lives in 1997, and her letter is dated 1999. The two realize that they can communicate with each other by placing objects in the mailbox for the other to find. A touching story worth watching. In fact, Hollywood is coming out with its English version known as “The Lake House” starring Keanu Reaves and Sandra Bullock.
