[mslee's thoughts] Old Goodbye - A Story of Tracing The Past to Heal The Present
The story tells about a man who left his wife after giving up on her. He finds her after knowing she will leave him the house after she dies. There at the hospital he saw her lying, in a coma but after a few days she woke up. She is already blind but she recognized his voice as he pretended to be the son of the ahjumma staying in the same ward.
What happened to their marriage? A story of trying to correct the present as he goes back and forth in the past. His wife has always been fond of capturing moments. The camera she used to bring along was found at the attic of the house along with many photographs he almost could not remember. When he pressed the click button of the camera, time changed and he found himself in another place another time. The camera became the instrument to time travel back in the past.
He was able to travel 5 times and each time he met his wife, it was like the first time. He used his knowledge of the future to convince her to go see a doctor but she does not believes him. As he travels back in time, he fell in love again and realized his faults and broken promises. She has always been alone. No one to stay beside her until she met him but then he too left her.
Only one more chance to use the camera to correct the present but it was almost too late for him. He was knocked off heavily on his head by the man who sold his kidneys to another and stole the money. It was supposed to be used for his wife. Just then, his wife was waiting, wondering why he disappeared again. She thought he left her again. Tearing, she saw the camera, and as if she knew what it means, she clicked the camera for the last time transporting her to where she first met him.
I like that the story did not discourage her to believe in miracles. That moment where she met him again as if the first time, he promised not leave her ever again. She told him it was a lie but he assured her not.
The message is clear. There is a possible happy ending in their love story. No camera to used anymore to disrupt the past. They have a chance to start over again. I think the title Old Goodbye is about saying goodbye to the present because back in the past, they are here to stay and make new memories. The story somehow healed the pains. The story promises a miracle for a new future for the couple.
Jang Hyuk and Jang Na Ra have an amazing chemistry. I love how the story has been told and shown. It was like browsing through pages of a photo album. The story is simple yet it pinches the heart. But the ending sure gives a feeling of satisfaction.
