So at the end... (spoilers)
Kyung Hee also died? This is very confusing. First they got back together at the wedding, then what happens??
shareyup...got me to. But the flash back show that both of the girls already sick when they still young and that make them close friend.
Maybe the wedding showed some good time between the Ji-hwan and Kyung Hee.
ironic, to see Ji-hwan receiving the letters of the two girl at the end really clear something...
This film is very strange. What I got from those flashbacks is that Soo-In and Kyung Hee met at the hospital at a young age, one of them is a boy and the other is a girl. They then, for whatever reason, switch names and the boy takes on the identity of a girl (a.k.a transvestite). So, Soo-In and Kyung Hee's livelong secret, is that Kyung Hee is not a girl, but a boy. Soo-In then dies and Kyung Hee's secret remains. Then, Kyung Hee, instead of revealing his true identity, moves away and commits suicide.
After watching and listening closely, that's what I got from it. If I'm wrong, the directing, screenplay or editing of this film was extremely bad for an ending.

hahahahah, that explanation cracks me up.
duno where the suicide bit comes from though..... she just dies coz she started becoming ill again after her best friend died. The girl/boy thing is just coz the other one initially thought she was a boy coz of the bald head from the cancer.
No names, coz can't remember who is who hehe. just watch it again and again until you get it. I think it's structured well.
I think your explanation is bang on.
When I first started watching this movie I thought it was just a girl/boy/girl triangle type of movie but it soon grew into much more than that. I thought it was very poignant, a beautiful testament to love and friendship. The actors played their roles perfectly.
Why can't Hollywood make this kind of movie? It seems almost every movie they put out these days is a sequel or a remake. All style and no substance. And they wonder why movie attendance is down
ok so here's my take on the whole girl boy transvestite thing......
Remember close to the begining when Soo-in asked Kyung Hee what it's like to kiss a boy?, well i believe that that was a clue to tell us she's never had a boyfriend or anything close.
Ji-Hawn asked Soo-in to talk about her first love - note: her first love not her first boyfriend - so she begins talking about when she met Kyung Hee because Kyung Hee is the only love she has had(remeber the "i love you's" at the end). We, as is ji-hawn are led to believe she is talking about a boy but the simple twist is that she was always talking about the girl Kyung Hee. They try to confuse us more by making her bald due to her illness but rest assure Kyung Hee is and always was A girl.
well..... that's what i got from the movie, feel free to correct me if you disagree, that's what i love about Korean Movies.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The 10 Rules: 1. Don't ask her to be feminine 2. Don't let her drink over three glasses 3. Drink coffee instead of Coke/Juice 4. If she hits you, act like it hurts. If it hurts, act like it doesn't 5. On your 100th day together, give her a rose during her class 6. Make sure you learn fencing and squash 7. Be prepared to go to prison sometimes 8. If she says she'll kill you, don't take it lightly 9. If her feet hurt, exchange shoes with her 10. She likes to write. Encourage her
MMM have we seen the same movie?
they just change names to pretend that the other person is by their side, that doesn't mean she is a he, or whatever "plot" you have invented.
Watch the movie again
pd: both girld die in the end and the movie it's about how they met, the fun they had and how every moment spend together is unereasable
Both girls are ill and died in the end.Ji Hwan was reading the last letter to him from both girls.
shareLOL! Where did you get that from? She thought Kyung Hee was a boy because the short hair but it became obvious later it was a girl. And she didn't commit suicide. Well the actress who played her in real life committed suicide. But the character died from natural causes. It shows that at the end when you see the blood coming out of her nose as she writes the letter that Ji-Whan is reading.You just didn't pay attention.
