IL Mare

Recently watched a good Korean movie at home called “IL Mare”, describing a relationship gapped by time but still interacted well spiritually via a magic mail box.

"IL Mare" was the name of a seafront house where two mates resided in at two different times. Sung-hyun in 1997 received a strange letter one-day reminding him to be careful of the snowstorm in 1998. However, it was posted by Eun-joo in 1999 who was the next resident of “IL Mare”. Time traveled backward again when Eun-joo left a note of request, asking him to look for her lost cassette recorder at the train station, before she moved out from the house. It was the place where Sung-hyun finally got a glimpse of her and fell in love onward.

It was a story of two distanced more than miles but close in soul. Beautiful scenes taken and good cohesion of presentation not just lead you to their tender passion but offer you a pleasant sight. Recommended!
