I cannot believe Alzheimer exists at such a young age. I know someone with Alzheimer's disease, and this lady recognizes the voices of her loved ones, or I feel like she does. But I didn't expect that this is how it is. Anyways, I'm glad I've seen this movie-it is totally amazing.
I know this is a sad movie, but trust me I loved the ending, even though I cried and knew what might happen in the future. I am glad the writers ended at that, otherwise, I many more tears will be lost.
I had an English essay where I had to write a sad story, to get into the mood I was watching One liter of tears mv, but now I can add this movie to the collection.

Truly a masterpiece of well thought out and developed plot that allowed me to connect with the characters that I was able to relate with each breakthrough in their relationship. ‘A Moment To Remember’ is now one of my favourite movies because the combination of both the storyline and acting captivates you into Su-jin and Cheol Su’s most charming meeting and unfortunate luck in life. Each scene was never wasted by providing an atmosphere of various emotions throughout. Initially you are joyous and hopeful with their new found love but gradually you are provided hints of wants to come. Then slowly the realisation that it was fiction started showing its face with the introduction of additional characters and hints the bad luck of life.
Ps I was truly suprised that he went topless for it is not something you see often in Asain films/ dramas but i cant complain for it provided me with my new favoirite eye candy "Jung Woo Sung".
ACTING: 10/10
Outstanding acting from both Son Ye Jin and Jung Woo Sung. Their chemistry as lovers truly radiated through the movie at each scene. The directorial of this movie was marvellous even during the scenes that merely just had music or facial expressions; the feeling of calm and love even in these scenes was well captured. Additional to the script that provides some truth and wisdom in regards of forgiveness.
MUSIC: 9/10
The music was well chosen and appropriately used.
LIKED: EVERYTHING about this movie; from beginning to end. I truly can't fault anything.
CONCLUSION: Watching this I recalled the comedic aspect of the western movie “50 First dates” additional to the emotions of unforeseen circumstances such as those in the “Watashitachi no Shiawase na Jikan” manga.
You should watch this drama if you enjoy genres such as romance – family – love – career – religion - forgiveness – money – tragedy – illness – crying - memories - believable acting.

Just for trivia I had studied: Alzheimer's disease is rare for 20+ age. It usually occurs at old age. It's unusual for a young woman like the protagonist.
I will HIGLY RECOMMEND this one: this MOVIE portrays a TRUE AND FAITHFUL LOVE. And a MAN WHO WILL SURELY BE THE ONE YOU WANT TO HAVE FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE :)

Simple story but very effective
This movie was touching. A simple story but very effective. It really shows you the pain and sadness that comes with the mind-robbing disease that Alzheimer's is. The ending is sad but beautiful. I also really like the soundtrack for the film. It gave off a western feel which was comfortable. Son Yejin and Jung Woosung had so much chemistry and their performance was believable. And Son Yejin-that woman does not age, like I've watched Crash Landing On You and she's just as beautiful as she was back then. Overall I give this movie a 9.5/10Rewatch is high. I can definitely see myself coming back to this one in a few months. It has a timeless feel to it.

This review may contain spoilers
Watched this one for my alphabet challenge. It’s an okay movie—nothing groundbreaking, but it does offer a touching reflection on life, love, and sacrifice.Story about Kim Su Jin (SJ), a woman who has just ended her relationship with a married man. Heartbroken and lost, she wanders the streets and stops by a convenience store. There, she buys a Coke but accidentally leaves it on the counter. Remembering it moments later, she heads back—only to see a man holding a Coke. Thinking it's her Coke and that the man just wants a free drink, SJ chugs the Coke in one gulp in front of him. But she later finds out it isn't hers. So, yeah, a classic awkward moment where you just consume something that belongs to a complete stranger.
The next day, SJ sees the same man again while accompanying her father on a site visit to a construction project he’s in charge of. Turns out, he’s one of the foremen—Choi Chul Soo (CS)—a carpenter with aspirations of becoming an architect.
They get to know each other, and soon SJ falls in love with him. It turns out SJ's love isn't unrequited; CS also reciprocates her feelings.
Their relationship grows, but they soon face their first challenge: SJ’s father. Given her father’s high status, CS is nervous about being rejected for not coming from the same background. And he’s not wrong—SJ’s father initially disapproves. But seeing the determination in his daughter’s eyes, he eventually gives his blessing.
After getting married, CS finally passes his architect exam. Life seems perfect—until SJ receives devastating news about her health.
In a moment of fear and selflessness, SJ asks for a divorce and wants to return to her family, not wanting to burden CS. But CS refuses. To him, “in sickness and in health” isn’t just a vow—it’s a promise—so he won’t leave her side. She’s his responsibility, not hers to carry alone.
As her condition worsens faster than expected, the question looms: will they stay together, or will SJ return to her family?
That's pretty much the story without giving too much spoiler. Now what I like and don't.
What I like:
+ A relatable story about how illness can change everything—especially in young love.
+ A very human portrayal of illness and love—it makes you wonder what you'd do in a similar situation.
+ It was quite shocking to realize that such an illness can affect someone so young.
+ Happy to see how CS stays by SJ’s side even after her health deteriorates.
What feel lack:
- From the beginning, we never really learn much about SJ’s past relationship. Did she know her boyfriend was married from the start, or did she only find out later when his wife confronted her? The film never clarifies. It’s not crucial to the main plot, but more context would have felt like a plus point for the story.
Overall It’s a decent movie—emotional, heartfelt in parts, but also somewhat forgettable. Worth a watch if you’re in the mood for a romantic melodrama with a touch of tragedy, but don’t expect it to linger long after the credits roll.
