Wow is all I can say, this movie surprised me so much and I'm super glad I decided to watch this. I would like to see a drama version if they ever make one. Anyway what really suprised me about this movie is that it felt fresh even though it's a pretty cliche story. I have been so poisoned with cliche after cliche that I just expect them at all times but this movie avoided them repeatedly which was GREAT. The chemistry is Amazing ???? it felt real the whole time and not fake. When the main characters were in pain so was I great acting and I don't feel any lose ends now that it's ended. It feels complete. I was hesitant about watching it but I'm so happy I did. WATCH IT! It's way better than wasting your time on the same ol bs.

The un shown end might be inevitable but I liked that they ended the movie in such a way that it so closely boarded on happy that it made it watchable even for us happy ending girls/guys. Yes, there are tears....and some more tears and but also really a lot, a lot, of silly smiles and grins....really, they may even out weigh the tears.

Usually when it comes to a romantic story , It's all about before marriage ! A boy and a girl who are extremely in love and give their all to fight against everything and everyone that is separating them !
And as we see in the most of classic romantic movies they have two kind of endings : 1) They marry each other (like Cinderella , Snow white etc. which is known as "Happy Ending") 2) They won't be able to stay together (Romeo & Juliet etc. which is known as "Sad Ending)
But there are less movies which try to talk about the story of AFTER marriage ! Actually , as you might already know , that extreme crazy love before marriage is USUALLY a kind of reaction to body's Endorphin release ! And even If it's not like that , that kind of love is USUALLY amazing , cool and so hot (!) as long as It's before marriage ! (OFC nothing in this world is not 100% though !)
And that's why they say LOVE can't be proved before the couple try to continue they REAL LIFE together !
(A Moment To Remember) has a far different defining of LOVE , at least farther than Classic stories !
We see the couple get married and some might say : What the hell ! Why everything just happened so fast between them ?!
But I must say , that was the best way it should've happened !
(A Moment To Remember) is not a cliche romance you want to watch on Valentine Day with your dear boyfriend ! :) It has some more important points to mention ! It has something new to show us ! A new side of love , life and romance ! Something we can all relate even If we haven't exprienced it !
The amazing storyline along with awesome acting of my favorite Jung Woo Sung , As a man who's been running away his whole life ! He's been running away from any responsible cause he's too busy living his own lonely life ! Yes , he prefers to be alone not because he's COLD or bad-tempered , NO ! But because LIFE has brought him up , like that ! Cause he has had enough troubles since he's been born ! So even if he feels his heart beating for someone , he would prefer to close the doors and stop anyone from entering it ! But how a lady (Played by Son Ye Jin) who seems to be the unluckiest person in Love-life , would be able to open this door which has been closed for too many years ?! And how this cold , unresponsive man can change entirely when it comes to protecting and giving his all for his wife and his marriage ?!
Well , they say you'll never know how strong you are until being strong is your only choice ! I think It's true ...
Enjoy (A Moment To Remember)'s great directing , acting and storyline and rewatch it whenever you just felt like , you needed to !

Simply... Beautiful
So, I usually don't watch sad/drama stories, because I think that life is sad enough, but I decided to give this movie a try since I love this actress. I have no regrets. It's a pretty slow movie, I mean, it has 2h of duration so some scenes are kinda... slow? But it's worth it, to watch the movie, I mean.it's the only Korean drama movie I've watched and I really enjoyed, even though it's really sad, I think it's still worth watching when you have a free time.
I think this cannot count as a spoiler since it's obvious right from the start what disease our FL has, so I'll just gonna say it here... It's SO frustrating seeing our precious FL having Alzheimer in a such young age... We, the whole time, wish that she can be happy, but still it's comforting seeing our ML taking care of his wife and being by her side. The ending it's pretty good too and emotional.
Anyway... I recommend this movie to everyone who isn't looking for a happy and funny romantic story, but instead a emotional yet beautiful romantic story

if you believe in true love
●FIRST IMPRESSION
So I was always wondering what the significance of the synopsis describing a scene so vividly. but when I completed the movie I can completely agree with the title describing A MOMENT TO REMEMBER.
●PLOT VIEW
I fell for the character, their love story was saddening yet memorable and touching. I literally cried with them on the way to the vicissitude journey. The movie shows what pure true love is, when you expect nothing and give love with all your faith, you will double fold in return. Choi Chul Soo is the average working person, a girl would want as a husband, he is rude, jealous, insecure sometimes arrogant but the way he showed his love is irresistible, he became the person whom I would search for in my future husband.
●ACTING/CAST
All the characters looked so young since I am watching this movie in lockdown 2021. Son Ye Jin looked so youthful and her acting chops were excellent. This was one of her earliest works and am highly impressed.
This was the first time I watched Jung Woo Sung, and he is exceptionally amazing. His hair, clothes, eyes, body language everything was perfect. He didn’t seem he acted it felt like he lived the role of Choi Chul Soo.
●MUSIC
OST was infused into the scene just as we have the cherry on the cake. it soothed the ears and comforted the souls, relieving the heartache.
●REWATCH
This drama has high rewatched value but I would be diabetic if I watch too much sweet. Yeah, I will wait for some time to rewatch this again.
●RECOMMENDATION
If you like love stories this movie is for you but remember it has a tragic element, so prepare a lot of tissue.
●FAV SCENE
I can't pick one moment because every moment is so mesmerizing. Beautifully scripted and perfectly painted. I would pick the first drinking scene at the roadside tent.

This movie has done everything perfectly, from actors to the story, everything. I loved the main leads, they were really awesome at their roles. It's not a happy story but, it has those happiest moments that we search our whole life to find. Its a love story of two peoples who loved each other with all of their hearts. Even though her memory was fading as you go on, he loved her unconditionally. I loved their bond and love for each other, this movie is a perfect masterpiece.
You should watch this movie, you will enjoy every moment and will get emotional at many points. But when the movie would have ended you will realize how you were spellbound by it.
