Plot
The movie begins with Kim Su-Jin, a 27 year old fashion designer, being spurned at the train station by her lover, a colleague who is also a married man. Depressed, she goes to a convenience store where she bumps into a tall handsome man with whom she has a slight misunderstanding. Following that, she returns home and receiving the forgiveness of her father, decides to start life afresh. One day while accompanying her father, who is the head of a construction site, in making his rounds, she coincidentally meets the man whom she earlier bumped into at the convenience store. He is Choi Chul-Soo, the construction site's foreman who is also aiming to become an architect. Chul-Soo may appear like a rough and dirty construction worker initially, but he does exude sheer masculinity in its most basic physical form and is pretty handy when it comes to carpentry or house repairs. Su-Jin instantly takes a liking to Chul-Soo and in what is a refreshing change, actively courts Chul-Soo. There are many sweet events that take place in the event of their courtship which eventually lead to their marriage. From here though, things quickly go downhill. Su-Jin soon finds that she has contracted AlzheimerÂ's disease and the rest of the movie depicts how she slowly and painfully loses bits of her memory until she totally cannot remember anything. Even more painful is seeing Chul-Soo agonise while watching the wife he loves dearly forget even who he is. The ending is bittersweet one but at least offers a glimpse of hope.

Dear John Lee,
How have you been? This is Bo Kim. Thank you so much for the opportunity to have worked with you in "The Cut Runs Deep"
You were an awesome Director. I am 45 now and I am now going to film school to become a Director. You have inspired me to do this.
After the movie, I had a serious nervous breakdown and I almost died. I realize now that I must follow my dreams. I realize that life is a gift and I will not just live without doing what I have always dreamed of doing. I have made a lot of mistakes and I have learned from them. I am learning something new everyday and I feel blessed to be here everyday now. I have a lot of disappointments in my past, but I hope all can be forgiven.
I have been trying to get in touch with you for so long. I am glad that you are doing well my brother.
I saw "The Moment To Remember" and I truly loved it. I hope all things are well with you John. Thank you once again for choosing me to play Yang Ho, it was an honor. I wish you all the best. God Bless.
Bo Alexander Kim.
