The movie, which is set in the year 2022, begins by introducing us to a young woman named Na Bo-ra, played by Han Hyo-joo. She’s recording an advertisement.
During this, she gets a call from her father, informing her that a package addressed to her has been sent to her childhood home in Cheongju.
Flashback to 1999:
The story then flashes back to 1999, when a young girl named Bo-ra, played by Kim Yoo-jung, is in high school.
Her best friend, Yeon-du (played by Roh Yoon-seo), is about to undergo urgent heart surgery in America.
Before leaving, Yeon-du reveals a secret to Bo-ra: she has a crush on a guy she met at her parents’ tailor shop Baek Hyun-jin (played by Park Jung-woo).
Bo-ra promises to find out more about Hyun-jin while Yeon-du is away.
Mission Baek Hyun-jin:
Bo-ra starts observing Hyun-jin and realizes that he spends a lot of time with his best friend Poong Woon-ho (played by Byeon Woo-seok).
The three of them begin spending time together, and Bo-ra and Woon-ho discover a shared interest in filmmaking and broadcasting. Bo-ra develops a crush on Woon-ho, and it’s clear he likes her too.
However, things get complicated when Hyun-jin falls for Bo-ra.
The film captures the excitement and awkwardness of first love through these three characters.
Twist with Yeon-du’s Return:
When Yeon-du returns, she brings a twist to the story.
It turns out that the boy she fell in love with at first sight is actually Woon-ho, who coincidentally wore Hyun-jin’s uniform on the day they met.
Yeon-du finds it amusing that Bo-ra was gathering information about the wrong guy all this time.
However, Bo-ra is devastated when she realizes that both she and her best friend are in love with the same boy.
To preserve their friendship, Bo-ra encourages Yeon-du to go on a date with Woon-ho in her place and distances herself from Woon-ho.
Power of Friendship:
In a heartfelt scene, Yeon-du tells Bo-ra, “I really like Poong Woon-ho, but if he gets in the way of our friendship, I can let go of him a hundred or even a thousand times. I care the most about you.”
Yeon-du then informs Woon-ho about Bo-ra’s feelings and encourages Bo-ra to bid a final farewell to Woon-ho, who is about to move to New Zealand with his family.
Bo-ra rushes to the railway station to meet Woon-ho, leading to a touching confession of love and promises to stay in touch.
The Ending:
Bo-ra and Woon-ho continue to stay in touch until one day, his emails abruptly stop without any explanation. This blindsides Bo-ra.
The story captures the complexities of friendship and young love, with unexpected twists and heartfelt moments.
It’s a tale of growing up and navigating the challenges of relationships.
