A thirty-something photographer, Jung-Won (Han Suk-kyu), strikes up a potentially romantic relationship with a twenty-something parking enforcer. Unbeknownst to her, and he won't tell her, his time left to live is rather limited. The film is nice, and actually nicely paced and photographed. I didn't think there was enough meat on the bones though. We have good character from Han Suk-kyu. The other characters in the story a far too thin, leaving the whole effect rather lacking.
