The Classic Part 2 (Korean Movie)

As the movie switches back to talking about the past, Joon-Ha is guilt-driven over his friend's attempt suicide and Joo-Hee's own guilt. When determined to stop causing Joo-Hee anymore trouble and hurt, Joon-Ha joins the army and goes Vietnam. While he's fighting in Vietnam, he looses his vision while trying to retrieve the necklace Joo-Hee had given him so many years before. Upon returning to Korea, Joon-Ha and Joo-Hee meet. While trying to hide his blindness, he tries to convince her that he has married and that she should move on with her life without him.

Though brokenhearted that their relationship cannot continue, she does move on and ends up marrying Tae-Soo, Joon-Ha's friend.  After they have been married for several years, Joo-Hee has a young daughter, Ji-Hye. Joo-Hee is then approached by the friends of Joon-Ha who relate Joon-Ha's last wish. He last wish is to have his ashes scattered by Joo-Hee in the river, where they first met. She later finds out that he was never married or at least not until he confirmed that Joo-Hee married Tae-Soo. She was then notified that Joon-Ha had a son, and she's heartbroken and cries.

Back in the present, Ji-Hye's story unfolds itself. Sang-Min reveals the feelings he has for her and those are the same feelings she has for him. Also the movie reveals that them taking shelter together was no accident. Sang-Min purposely left his umbrella behind so that he could join her under the tree during the storm. She tells Sang-Min her mother's similar story and tears stream down his face. Why do tears stream down his face? It's because he lifts the necklace from his neck and places it around hers. It's the necklace that Ji-Hye's mother had given to Sang-Min's father when they first met by the river. So then the circle is completed. Joo-Hee's daughter and Joon-Ha's son completed the love story which their parent's had failed to complete!  (366 words)
