You all might not be familiar with this movie...2000 pa kasi ito na release...
Pero if you've watched "Lake House" last month,, that was the Holly wood remake of Il Mare Starring Keanu Reeves (my original fafa) and Sandra Bullock... [/b][/size]

Cast: Lee Jung-Jae as Han Sung-Hyun (The Affair, The Interview) Jun Ji-Hyun as Kim Eun-ju (My Sassy Girl)
Synopsis:
Eun-ju is moving out of her seafront apartment named Il Mare, which means "the sea" in Italian. She leaves a Christmas card for the next tenant. In the card she wishes the new tenant Merry Christmas, welcoming him/her to Il Mare. Eun-ju has another reason for leaving the Christmas card: she is expecting an important letter, and leaves her new address so that the new tenant can re-direct her mail. At the end of the card she signs her name, and dates the card 1999.
Sung-Hyun moves into an empty house, he lays a block to spray the name of the house that he has just called home Il Mare. He discovers the card that Eun-ju has left behind, and is confused by the letter as he is currently in 1997. He writes back to Eun-ju, politely suggesting that she may have made a mistake as he is the first tenant of Il Mare, and he is unable to assist her in her request, and dates the letter 1997.
After further correspondence, both Eun-ju and Sung-Hyun realize that they are corresponding on same dates but over 2 different time dimensions, aided by the magical mailbox. And both embark on an amazing journey together.
Sung-Hyun is an architecture undergraduate dropout, punishing himself with self-exile because of a failed relationship with his father. While working as a construction worker by day, he holes up in Il Mare during the night. Eun-ju is a voice-over artist for children shows, and is trying to come to grips with a failed relationship. 2 lonely souls, connected via Il Mare, and the magical mailbox start corresponding and find solace in each others letters.
Unlike many movies that feature such themes, where the leads either never meet or meet at the end, Sung-Hyun is able to catch a glimpse of how Eun-ju looks like in 1997 as the time difference is only 2 years and with Eun-ju diligently keeping a dairy, However, Sung-Hyun is just a stranger to the Eun-ju of 1997.
When both decide that it is time to meet at the same time dimension, it will have meant a fruition of their relationship. However, Sung-Hyun did not show up on the agreed date, and both are puzzled why he missed the appointment, and started to wonder what happened to Sung-Hyun during those 2 years.
And then, Eun-ju bumps into her ex-fiancé. All the emotions she felt for him resurfaced as painful memories of the times together flood her entire brain. And in a desperate attempt to get her ex-fiancé back, she writes to Sung-Hyun to help her. Devastated by Eun-jus request, Sung-Hyun is thrown back into the darkness that he left. He has fallen in love with Eun-ju, and her letters and encouragement have lifted him. After struggling for a while, seeing Eun-jus happy relationship with her ex-fiancé in 1998, and realising that his relationship with Eun-jus will never be, Sung-Hyun decides to help her.
Sung-Hyun writes his last letter to Eun-ju, agreeing to help. He thanks Eun-ju for coming into his life, and bids his final farewell in the letter.
On the day in 1998 that Sung-Hyun is supposed to help Eun-ju to stop her ex-fiancé from leaving, Eun-ju in 2000 finds out that Sung-Hyun actually died in a car accident on his way to help her. Overwhelmed by the thought that Sung-Hyun died for her, Eun-ju rushes to Il Mare to stop Sung-Hyun. She leaves her last letter in the mailbox, kneels and prays that Sung-Hyun receives the letter

eto yung Hollywood counterpart ng Il Mare....
Feeling that it’s time for a change in her life, Dr. Kate Forster (SANDRA BULLOCK) leaves the suburban Illinois locale where she completed her residency and takes a job at a busy Chicago hospital. One thing she is reluctant to leave behind is the uniquely beautiful house she’s been renting – a spacious and artfully designed refuge with large windows that overlook a placid lake. It’s a place in which she felt her true self.
It is a winter morning in 2006.
On her way to the city, Kate leaves a note in the mailbox for house’s next tenant, asking him to forward her mail and noting that the inexplicable painted paw prints he might notice by the front door were there when she moved in.
But when the next tenant arrives, he sees a much different picture. Alex Wyler (KEANU REEVES), a talented but frustrated architect working at a nearby construction site, finds the lake house badly neglected: dusty, dirty and overgrown with weeds. And no sign of paw prints anywhere.
The house has special meaning for Alex. In a happier time it was built by his estranged father (CHRISTOPHER PLUMMER), a renowned architect who allowed his professional acclaim to grow at the expense of his family life. Alex feels a sense of peace here now and commits to restoring the property to its original beauty. He disregards Kate’s note until, days later, while painting the weather-beaten jetty he sees a stray dog run across the fresh paint and then towards the entrance of the house, leaving paw prints exactly where she said they’d be.
Baffled, Alex writes back, saying that the house had no occupant before him and wondering how she could have known about the dog; while Kate, who just left it a week ago, imagines he is playing some kind of joke on her and fires back a reply.
Just for argument’s sake, what day is it there?
April 14, 2004.
No, she says. It’s April 14, 2006.
The same day, two years apart.
Can this be happening?
As Kate and Alex continue to correspond through the lake house’s mailbox they confirm that they are, incredibly, impossibly, living two years apart, and each at a time in their lives when they are struggling with past disappointments and trying to make a new start. Sharing this unusual bond, they reveal more of themselves to one another with each passing week – their secrets, their doubts and dreams, until they find themselves falling in love.
Determined to bridge the distance between them at last and unravel the mystery behind their extraordinary connection, they tempt fate by arranging to meet. But, by trying to join their two separate worlds, they could risk losing each other forever.
