Korean top stars Jung Woo Sung and Son Ye Jin headlined the romance drama "A Moment to Remember," released in 2004.

Based on the 2001 Japanese television drama "Pure Soul," the story depicts a heartbreaking yet magical story about two individuals with different social backgrounds.

Son Ye Jin plays 27-year-old fashion designer Soo Jin, who unexpectedly meets a mysterious man named Chul Soo, portrayed by Jung Woo Sung, at a convenience store.

Since then, the two have often seen each other in odd situations, but at the perfect time.

Later on, Soo Jin found out that Chul Soo works as a carpenter on the same project that her father is working on.

Just when they thought that it was a fairytale, Soo Jin started to display incidents of forgetfulness.

At one point, she couldn't go home because she forgot her address. This is where she thought of seeking medical help.

Unfortunately, she found out that she had early-onset Alzheimer's disease.

"A Moment to Remember" showcased the unconditional love of her husband, who chose to be with her no matter what.

Interestingly, not only did the drama garner a box office hit, but it also won the Best Screenplay Award at the 42nd Grand Bell Awards and Best Actress in a Foreign Film at the 15th China Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival for Son Ye Jin's performance.
