Forgiveness... and Forgetfulness



i have just watched a Korean flick "A Moment To Remember" about a happily married couple, the girl having —Alzheimer's Disease! Yes, a disease usually reserved for the ailing elderly has now been bestowed upon a twenty-seven year-old girl, who's not only beautiful but also recently married. Her husband, Choi Chol-Soo (Jung Woo-Sung), is an impossibly tough man-among-men, who now must deal with the heartrending plight of his wife's health going to Hell.

and luckily I had a good copy of the director's cut about this ruggedly-handsome not-so boyfriend material and the rebellious rich kid who almost ran away with a married guy; it seemed to be like a very common plot but after watching I was able to discover that it's romantic, funny, and blithely ridiculous all at once! To be fair, A Moment to Remember is engaging enough for what it is. "There's an eraser in my head," which she utters upon the revelation of her fading memory. "Being able to forget easily is a gift," Unfortunately, that statement applies not only to the sad realization of her fate but also to a fact that it can happen to anyone. Lastly, I was amazed on how their love pull them both through on such a desperate situation... :)
