00:04Today we are going to go through the Korean romantic comedy movie Love Reset.
00:10The film opens with a lavish wedding but the bride, Hong Na Rae, played by Jung So Min, seems emotionally distant.
00:18Despite the beautiful venue and luxurious atmosphere, her heart isn't in it.
00:24Meanwhile, elsewhere in the city, no Jung Yeol, played by Kang Hanul, a heartbroken young man, drowns his sorrows at his friend's bar.
00:33He's devastated. Na Rae, his ex-girlfriend, is getting married today and not to him.
00:40Na Rae and Jung Yeol once shared a deep relationship.
00:44But after Jung Yeol failed his bar exam, he ended things, thinking he had no right to hold her back.
00:50Now, as she prepares to marry a wealthy man she met on a blind date set by her parents just two months ago, regret consumes him.
01:00With a desperate heart, Jung Yeol resolves to stop the wedding.
01:04But before he can take a step, Na Rae appears at the door, still in her wedding dress, having fled the ceremony herself.
01:12She tells him, don't be late next time.
01:17Determined to do things properly, Jung Yeol meets Na Rae's intimidating mother at a fine dining restaurant to ask for her daughter's hand.
01:26Expecting fierce rejection, he's shocked when she warmly welcomes him, insists he call her mom, and even gives him money for a down payment on their first apartment.
01:36But winning over her father, a no-nonsense military general, is a different battle.
01:43In a comedic and chaotic scene, Jung Yeol visits Na Rae's father, kneels before him, and gets a thorough beating.
01:51When the general storms off to fetch a shotgun, Na Rae tries to stop him, while her mother calmly drinks tea, watching it all unfold like it's a dinner show.
02:00Despite the madness, the couple makes it through and soon celebrates a beautiful garden wedding.
02:08Years pass.
02:09Na Rae is now a successful screenwriter, and Jung Yeol has become a lawyer.
02:15But their once-passionate marriage has deteriorated.
02:19At a divorce interview, they recount petty arguments and growing resentment.
02:24One flashback reveals Jung Yeol wanting to buy a gift for a classmate's sister's wedding, despite being unemployed at the time.
02:34Na Rae, the breadwinner then, scolded him, sparking a long-standing grudge.
02:39In a hilarious moment, Na Rae explodes during dinner and ends up yelling mid-bite, rice flying from her mouth onto Jung Yeol's face.
02:48Calmly, he replies, let's not waste food.
02:53I'm jobless.
02:55Their bickering touches on everything from his clean freak habits to her poor hygiene, and especially his frugal family's nitpicking.
03:03But the final straw?
03:05The night before Jung Yeol's bar exam, he had a severe case of IBS and couldn't sleep.
03:11Come morning, he woke up to find the stove on fire.
03:16Na Rae, drunk, had passed out while cooking.
03:19Despite their heated arguments, when asked if they're sure about the divorce,
03:23they both respond with the court issues them a mandatory 30-day reconsideration period.
03:29As they leave the court, still bickering, fate intervenes.
03:34Truck crashes into their car.
03:35Na Rae wakes up in the hospital first, greeted by her sister Nami casually eating a hamburger.
03:43Jung Yeol wakes soon after.
03:46The doctor's diagnosis?
03:48They both have amnesia.
03:51When informed of their marital status, they're stunned.
03:55Nami fills them in.
03:57They're technically still married but about to be divorced.
04:00The doctor recommends they return to their shared home to help regain their memories.
04:06Both families agree, but with a secret agenda.
04:10Help them recover their memories just enough to go through with the divorce.
04:15Nami is appointed as a watchdog to make sure they don't fall back in love.
04:20With 20 days left, they return home and begin cleaning their messy apartment.
04:25Their friends and family host a memory-sharing gathering to help jog their minds.
04:31Teachers, colleagues, and loved ones take turns reminiscing.
04:36One key moment is when Jung Yeol's military friend, Ji Ai Bae,
04:40reminds him how they first met Na Rae at a bar.
04:44She was choking, and Jung Yeol saved her with the Heimlich maneuver.
04:49Later, at the hospital, she met her then-boyfriend.
04:52Years passed before they crossed paths again at a rainy bus stop,
04:57where Jung Yeol shielded her with an umbrella.
05:00That moment, his smile captured her heart.
05:04Fifteen days before the deadline, the mothers bring them to a hypnosis session.
05:10A buried memory resurfaces.
05:12The night of the kitchen fire,
05:15Na Rae had been cooking cabbage porridge to help soothe Jung Yeol's stomach,
05:19not just drunkenly messing around.
05:22The misunderstanding dissolves, but the mothers panic,
05:26worried they're falling in love again.
05:29Ten days to go.
05:31A sleepy Na Rae wanders into the bathroom where Jung Yeol is brushing his teeth.
05:36She instinctively pees, and he absentmindedly hands her toothpaste,
05:41like an old routine.
05:42The moment they realize what's happening,
05:45they retreat to their separate rooms,
05:47while Na Mi blankly stares, too stunned to react.
05:51Jung Yeol, now developing intimate feelings again,
05:55consults their doctor.
05:57The advice?
05:59Try being physically close.
06:02It might trigger memories.
06:03That night, he nervously invites Na Rae on a date, and she agrees.
06:09They sneak past Na Mi and revisit the baseball stadium where they met again years ago.
06:15Jung Yeol suggests,
06:17maybe we should start fresh, forget the past.
06:20They're kicked out before finishing the conversation,
06:23but head to dinner instead.
06:26As rain falls,
06:27Jung Yeol shelters Na Rae under an umbrella,
06:30exactly like before.
06:32She kisses him,
06:34then slaps him in confusion.
06:36Later that night,
06:37at G.I. Bay's bar,
06:38their chemistry deepens.
06:40They get drunk,
06:42flirt,
06:42and eventually become so passionate
06:44that their friends leave the bar in exasperation.
06:48The next day,
06:49Na Mi panics when the couple doesn't return home.
06:53When they finally do,
06:54they throw a house party with their friends.
06:57Five days before the deadline,
06:59the inevitable happens.
07:00Na Mi walks in on Na Rae on top of Jung Yeol.
07:05Horrified,
07:05she calls their mom and falsely accuses Na Rae of forcing herself to him.
07:11In the chaos,
07:12Jung Yeol slips on a baseball and crashes headfirst onto the floor.
07:16As Na Rae and Na Rae and Na Mi scared,
07:19rush him to the hospital,
07:21as he looks at their wedding photo and tells Na Mi to go buy whatever she wants with his credit card with his back to them.
07:28Coming back from the hospital,
07:29Na Rae's mother reminds Jung Yeol of the original plan,
07:34finalize the divorce.
07:35She demands Na Rae move out immediately and reveals she's arranged for Na Rae to study abroad.
07:42In the car, Na Rae tries to resist,
07:45but her mother insists this is best.
07:48She saw how miserable marriage made her.
07:51That evening, Jung Yeol returns home carrying bottles of soju and finds Na Rae waiting outside.
07:57She asks if he's regained his memory.
08:02He admits that he has,
08:04and that's why he's been quietly going along with her mother's wishes.
08:08Na Rae softly says she could tell she saw the hate in his eyes.
08:13With that, she turns and walks away.
08:16The 30-day reconsideration period ends.
08:20They walk out of divorce court, documents signed.
08:23Na Rae quickly takes a cab, leaving Jung Yeol behind.
08:29At home, he notices a baseball on the floor.
08:32On it, Na Rae had written,
08:34I hope our memories never come back.
08:37As he stares at it, he mutters,
08:40I'm late again.
08:41While packing up to move out,
08:43Na Rae's mother shows up,
08:45telling Jung Yeol to leave the house immediately,
08:47but not before discreetly slipping him Na Rae's flight information.
08:51Incheon Airport, Terminal 1, 8.20 p.m.
08:55That evening, over dinner,
08:57Ji Abe urges him to go say goodbye.
09:00Then their usually quiet friend Tak Ho speaks up.
09:04You haven't reported the divorce yet.
09:06If you don't submit the paperwork within 90 days,
09:09it becomes void.
09:11Realizing this,
09:13Jung Yeol races to the airport with his friends.
09:15He finds Na Rae and confesses that despite everything,
09:20the good memories outweigh the bad.
09:23They should face them together.
09:25But there's a hilarious twist.
09:28Na Rae has her earphones in and hears none of it.
09:32He tries again, but she interrupts,
09:34saying it's nice to see him smile again,
09:36then turns to leave.
09:38Inside the terminal,
09:40Na Rae suddenly calls him back.
09:42In a private conversation, she admits,
09:45it's unfair that only you remember everything and I don't.
09:50All I have are good memories.
09:52She suggests waiting out the 90-day period
09:55before making any final decision.
09:58Jung Yeol grins.
10:00That's exactly what he wanted to say.
10:02The film ends with the two bickering playfully.
10:05He tries to seal the moment with a kiss,
10:09like in the movies.
10:10But Na Rae, ever herself,
10:13rolls her eyes and says,
10:14I don't even watch movies.
10:17Ends up kissing anyway.
