*** SPOILERS *** One of the latest tear-jerkers, a 27-year-old young woman named Su-jin is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) after marrying a carpenter who works for her father’s company. Starring the popular and attractive Son Ye-jin as the young woman and the equally popular Jeong Woo-sung as the carpenter, the film is built on the premise that it is possible for someone so young to become stricken with an ``old person’s disease’’ like AD.
Familial Alzheimer’s is extremely rare and may occur among those aged 30-60 years. But, as the name implies, it is hereditary. And although the youngest documented case was 28 years old, for Son Ye-jin’s character in ``A Moment to Remember’’ to have come down with this form of dementia at the tender age of 27 is about as likely as her CEO father allowing her to marry a carpenter.
While both late-onset and familial AD are progressive illnesses that may last for up to 20 years or so, slowly developing from simple forgetfulness and mild depression, to full-blown loss of recognition and almost complete dependence on others for all daily tasks, familial AD, may also progress very quickly, with sufferers dying within a year. So it looks like Su-jin may just be one of the unluckiest people in the world.
Beautiful Son Yae Jin (The Classic) and Jung Woo Sung (Musa - The Warrior, Mutt Boy) share A Moment to Remember! Su-Jin (Son Yae Jin) and Chol-Su (Jung Woo Sung) meet and seemingly discover the perfect marriage...but is fate truly that kind? This latest tearjerker from Korea features two of the region's brightest young stars.
