Sujin's lover stood her up at the train station. Next scene: she ended up in a convenience store where, due to her impending affliction she's not aware of, she met Choi in some awkward situation.

Indeed, the movie's narrative moved forward with the two characters' relationship also moving forward. Conspicuously, Sujin's affliction also slowly advanced. A shadow of her past crept back. These developments were perfect for a melodrama. The movie almost didn't attempt at shying away from it (in most scenes). On the contrary, it fully embraced the genre. This decision was not totally a bad thing. In fact, it made the movie really involving, entertaining, and heartbreaking.
