"Even simply brushing clothes with someone is fate" (옷깃만 스쳐도 인연) is an old Korean proverb that means every interaction between you and another person-even a stranger on the street-is never an accident, but rather the elaborate result of your past lives and theirs intertwining to make that momentary interaction happen. And if even the most seemingly trivial of interactions are the result of elaborate workings of fate (인연), then something as significant as meeting the love of your life is the result of 8000 겁 of fate. This is a commonly known Buddhist teaching. 겁 (Gup) is a measurement of time. Imagine a massive boulder, and imagine that a single raindrop falls on that boulder once every 1000 years. The amount of time it would take for the boulder to finally crack from the water droplets is 1 겁. A single 겁 is an unfathomably long period of time, so 8000 겁 is something that's hard to even attempt to imagine. The saying goes that for every married couple, there's at least 8000 겁 of 인연 (fate) from their past lives that led them to each other.
Makes a night in a club, a music festival, a crammed subway, a sports game, so much more interesting now with those such dogmatic ideas...
Literally brushed by 1000 strangers over a 2 day music festival, wow, sure have lived a long time with the same recycled souls...
Thank you so much for your explanation! It just gave me goosebumps :’)

I believe that In-Yun has its roots in Chinese, specifically in the words "因缘" or "姻缘," both of which mean fate. The latter emphasizes its romantic aspect, and they are both pronounced "Inn-Yuen." I always love the similarities among Eastern Asian cultures. There is a concept in Chinese similar to what you mentioned that states, "前世五百次的回眸，换来今世的一次擦肩而过," which means "Glimpse but once, a past life's glance. Five hundred times, to find the chance, To cross paths with one from before, In this life, and forevermore.". Or "十世修来同船渡，百世修来共枕眠", meaning "Ten lives of good deeds earn a shared boat ride. A hundred more, a shared pillow at your side.".
I love what u wrote. Me tho (laughing) who doesnt have a car; (tho I can drive) always commuting, rubbing elbows, clothing with the masses esp. during rush hours. Now this is gonna make me analize, more. But I love observing people & guesing what their lives like.
Hey, I'm from South Korea and I can relate to this trailer... Almost same thing happened to me recently. Around 17 years ago, when I was in elementary, I met a boy whose name was "Present" in Korean. He was my first crush. I liked his shiny round eyes, a cute wide smile, and white teeth. Sadly, I had to move to another school a year later. 18 years passed, and we met each other this January. We have become both 25. He studies in medical school and I just came back to S.Korea after obtaining a diploma from another country. I didn't know he had been reading all my posts on my public diary for a few months when I was back in France. Though he knew the one who was writing the diary was me, he never said "Hi" to me. Then one day I deleted a link that had access to my public diary, so he missed a chance to let me know.
A few years passed, and he noticed one comment in the comment section of one youtube video which showed a whole view of our hometown where we used to play together. That comment was, surprisingly, written by me. He noticed that it was me because I wrote down some of my personal background in the comment. He already knew I was living in France and I had a very special surname that stood out.
So we met each other once again through TH-cam and we talked hours and hours on social media. We finally met each other this January and we had a nice Italian lunch, drank coffee and talked for hours and hours... I think we had a nice time.
We are not together tho. Maybe it was because of a bad timing or maybe because I've been having some issues with my mentality and physical health or maybe because he was in senior year at medical school...or maybe because I seemed such a deep person to him. BUT the important thing is, I have a feeling that we are still connected and one day we will see each other once again at right time and a right place.
Magic happens to those who believe in magic :)
Anyways, thank you for reading my magical story💛
Oh dear, this has me clutching my chest and tearing up at my desk! 🥺
Such a beautiful story thank you for sharing your story..❤
If it is meant to be, I hope this 'magic' brings you together again. Good luck, friend.
you are living a before sunset in real life

“You make my world so much bigger, and I’m wondeing if I do the same for you.”
One of my fav. quote in the movie.
Same here! I know the movie is all about Nora and Hae Sung’s relationship/missed connection, but I felt that that line from Arthur was one of the most romantic things I’d ever heard.
That sounds like really bad writing. As if a white worshipping Asian woman wrote it. Oh look, the writer is an Asian female married to a White guy, I'm right.
And then after Nora told him she loved him and his response of "it's just that sometimes I find that hard to believe" That killed me. Many viewers, myself included, found ourselves rooting for Nora and Hae to end up together yet feeling very sad for Arthur aswell. None of it it's his fault. Also his exhale and sad expression when first meeting Hae and seeing him standing next to his wife Nora.
I found my people in the comment section! I swear I loved Arthur. This line was the only line in the movie left in me after watching it. It's just so sad! I feel so sad for Arthur! I just wanna hug him and comfort him. I wish I could just do that for him.
@@lulu0724 This makes me wanna cry! I feel so sad for Arthur.
This movie is just sooo realistic that even their stares and no words just gives you a ton of emotions. It left a hole in my heart
The way it was shot was crazy
Hole*
THIS!
shesh
this movie def isn't realistic. It's like porn for women. Of course her childhood friend happens to be a really hot guy while she's totally average looking and uninteresting. Why didn't they cast a really average looking korean guy if this is about chemistry and deep intimacy? Celine Song basically turning it into a romance novel for women, korean style.
Got chills from the trailer, I'm sure I'll be crying at the end of the movie
Yep I’m bringing tissues to this one
Chang wang wang!

A24 makes good movies. my eyes are moist already. god help me
Literally word for word ( first 5 words lol) nothing but chills and a blissful feeling . This is going to be a great movie .
Was lucky enough to see this at Sundance. You guys aren't ready. It's simply beautiful.
Are you famous?
I haven't cried in a long time, I am looking forward to this bursting my eye dams!
So what, besides the obvious is this about?
I was ready before I even knew.
Screaming rn
The last scene broke my heart into 8000 pieces.
Why? Asian women love White men. It's a win.
I want to repair all 7999 pieces so that you can break my heart into 8001 pieces
xD
game is game@@sameerdanish5243
Me!
When she exhaled at the end and broke down it was the perfect climax of all the energy, tension, hope, love, frustration that she built up. I somehow felt it built up with the audience too
Thanks for the spoiler, bro
true
Yes..
What the Korean guy said before that was… damn. PHEWWW I could cry thinking if it right now lol
oh the way I sobbed at the end
This is just a trailer and the chemistry between the characters is off the charts, incredible!
It’s almost like they did it intentionally.
@@md12962 Strange behaviour being an ass hole for no reason
Ash Wednesday: Prepare for Lent by Sensus Fidelium.
Great casting!!!
Literally gave me goosebumps
Oh I love how the movie basically describes how you can still hold that love, reminiscing all the good memories, but you both know that you don't need to be together at the end anyway. Because those beautiful memories and feelings are only enough to keep you satisfied and happy with what you two have now.
@Buxtehude man I've just watched a video talking about how heartbreak can be an addiction and no kidding it was said by an expert
@@buxtehude6078 love isn’t exclusive to one person and there are many types of love. You can love and cherish the memories and moments you have with a person at the same time as choosing to live a loving life with someone else. I think it’s sad that if you hold a love for someone who’s played an important part in your life would mean that you don’t actually love the person who’s important to you now and have chosen to spend the rest of your life with. Besides jazmone is right that this was more about closure from a time of her life than her actually thinking of cheating
Beautifully said
@@jazmone7777 Nah I've seen the movie lmao for some reason women have a preference to movies that romanticize cheating
@@Percules0001 You can love more than one person in your life. Love itself can also change overtime, such as from romantic to platonic. There’s a reason why some people are still best friends with people they’ve dated before, long after breaking up. Then again, relationships are different for everyone and only the people in said relationship know how it’s currently going and how it’ll move forward. I feel like I’m stating the obvious, but just because someone hangs out with someone they aren’t dating doesn’t mean that they’re cheating. I haven’t seen the movie yet, and there’s a non-zero chance I’m wrong and you’re completely right, but idk man I could absolutely be misinterpreting, but something about your comment just seems way off. I do get what you’re saying though, but know in real life it’s very much circumstantial.
Many people in the cinema wiped their tears (me too). The emotion of love literally skyrockets at the very end of the film. Although I live in Slovenia, which is on the other side of the world, the emotion of love, and the language between two hearts, seems to be exactly the same, everywhere.
I just finished watching this movie, and it made me bawl my eyes out like a baby. Not because it counted on big, dramatic scenes but on all those little in-betweens that we all have in our lives, those moments where we are out of words, those in which we want to say something but can't and those where we say something different from what we want to. It was so emotionally charged, it made me feel deeply for- and with them and most of all, it left me thinking and feeling and also aching.
Well, someone just NAILED the casting for this one. 2 minutes, 24 seconds and the chemistry is rock solid. No need for over the top dialogue when you have such amazing body language. Soundtrack puts the nail in 'emotional' coffin. Can't wait
Just felt in love with Teo Yoo in "love to hate you"
Glad, to see him again 💖
@Sasha I believe. But it's hard
I loved the little smile between them at the end! Amazing
Agreed there!
The music is by two members of acclaimed indie band Grizzly Bear. It is gonna be a memorable soundtrack, no question
Whilst watching this trailer, I can say that at this point I'm fully convinced that A24 can never disappoint us with their films.
While*
I agree!
@@idontnkow The conjunction whilst means the same as while. While is used to describe time, whilst is used to describe contrast. Whilst can be used as an adverb or conjunction. The sentence "whilst watching this trailer" is grammatically correct (comment generated by GPT-3 AI)
Wait till you see Lamb 😅
I've seen almost their complete catalogue (about 124 movies) I can say there are some definite stinkers lol, but their ratio of good def outweighs the bad.
When Hae Sung called Nora one last time, he also knew that that was the last time he was going to see her. The flashback made me cry instantly. You could see that both of them wanted to go back in time - to be 12 year olds again. The ending was really sad and I wish it ended differently.
It tore me to pieces. That walk back home was brutal
lady cheated and her husband’s a cuck. this is what u women supported. amazing.
very sad tragic ending for hae sung the film did not do justice for him
Let me guess - the 12 years of being happy and married wasn’t enough. You were rooting for the divorce and Nora to move back to Korea?? That would be fd up to the obviously good husband Arthur. Tbh I won’t lie I was thinking Nora should have left Arthur too. But they would have had to make Arthur an asshole for that plot to happen
bad ending, the movie follows the director phantasy with a white man
SPOILER ALERT:
such a beautiful film, the whole film I cringed when I thought she would cheat on him. But when it actually took the mature route, and left them two as friends on different paths, I cried, I cried hard. The film didn't pretend to be a fantasy, it was a hard bitter truth that life holds for all of us.
Yes, I thought I was the only one, especially in the scene in which both Nora and Hae are waiting for his Uber. They both looked nervous, started facing each other and almost leaned into each other, but then his ride arrived. Made me wonder what would have happened if the uber would of taken five more minutes to arrive...
@@lulu0724 I think it would have been the same. She knows she can’t sacrafice the life she built for him, and she loves her husband
I think it’s also based on a true story
totally agree
- from Indonesia -
Dude why would you spoil the whole plot like that🥲
Romance movies are not generally something I seek out, but it looks like the themes in this go deeper than the standard romance film. I am excited to see this!
same
it's definitely a realism take of a romance film rather than a sugarcoated one
@Buxtehude they'll prolly make the american husband bad to justify the affair, and say, yeah, she deserve the childhood friend better or something, because " they're destined for each other. "
@@LucyFerr000 Not at all. The film and the characters are much more nuanced than a 2 minute trailer could show you. It's a romance film where nobody is right or wrong. Because there are no right or wrong feelings.Just wait and see.
@edward3dofficial Romance isn't normally for you 🤠 but with a pinch of cuckoldry it's basically made for you 🤣
Reconnected with my love after almost 10 years apart this past fall in NYC (I’m thirty). Coincidentally, the first time we saw each other we also ended up in Brooklyn and took pictures in the same places they are taking pictures in the movie with the bridge in the background.
Circumstances took her across the world. I always knew she was the one and on starry nights, red sunsets, during milestones and in silent moments of reflection, I would wonder if I was still in her heart as she was in mine.
When we finally met up, I remember gazing into her eyes for hours searching for answers, we said so much to each other without saying a single word. Turns out, I have been in her heart as much as she’s been in mine.
3 months later this past January I travelled to meet her family. We’re hoping to get engaged mid year and planning a wedding for early 2024. Timing is everything and in our hearts and in our core, we always hoped to be each others forevers.
Happy for you both 🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲
What a beautiful story!!
Congrats mate! Hope all goes well, it's like they say in the movie, in-yun!!!
❤ You give me joy & inspiration with sharing your story! May you be blessed 💫
Woah so happy for both you 💕💕
I saw this film today with my wife. It was beautifully done. The story rang so true, the love, pain, fear and hopes of the main characters were so we'll portrayed by the actors, the camera and the wisdom of the writer/director. The subject matter, experienced by so many, was very well expressed. Congratulations! And, Thank You.
Didn't expect this movie would be so good. The last moment was heart piercing.
What a natural cinematography. You feel like you were there.
This is a movie that stays in your memory and feelings
That last scene. It’s the awkward affection and love you still have for someone. It’s distant but also close.
Your last sentence nailed it
That is why humans are dumb. We know that the woman love her childhood friend deeply with all the good and sweet memories and guess what? She end up marrying another guy. This also happens in real life. The human race should go into extinction because this does not even make sense and end up hurting other people's feeling. Yeah, I'm talking about that white guy
It's the realization years later that you two never meant to hurt or alienate one another, it just happened that way. Closure that develops in itself.
Saw this yesterday and don’t think I’ve ever been so moved by a film, I started crying from the very first scene and didn’t stop until 15 mins after it ended. but it’s not because it’s dreary or depressing, just so heartfelt and deeply relatable. Such a masterpiece of a film my heart aches remembering it.
I was moved by aftersun as well which is also an A24 film 😅
How much of the film was in English vs Korean with subtitles?
Just walked out of it. What a beautiful film
Man I’m crying just in this trailer 😭
Where to download it online
Worked this young lady for a 12 hr shift on an ambulance and we had a connection that I've never experienced.
I looked for her for 6 months after that shift and one day I walked into work and there she was. Our relationship lasted almost a year and just like that it was over. Many years later I've come to realize she was the one that got away. Just like in the movie, she is married now and lives in the Northeastern part of the states. I miss her dearly and the love we had. I often wonder if I will ever find someone that I will love on that level again. Perhaps in my next life I will meet the love of my life again. Maybe then it will be a different outcome.
Let me guess, you are White and she is Asian.
I just finished it and... I feel so empty inside, they legit left me staring at the screen for like 5 minutes straight still hoping for something even if the show had already finished. Nevertheless, the movie is way too realistic I loved the details of everything, their silence, body language, their stares, and the ending was what would've happened in reality even if it was sad really. It's such a 10/10 movie
The quick cut at the end showing them as kids was sublime. Gave me chills. There they are once again the two kids standing together but also apart on their divergent paths. The memory now in nighttime mirroring their present was beautiful visual poetry. A realization that their feelings for each other can only exist in a time and space both real and imaginary. Kudos to Celine Song.
It was very lazy editing and a too safe choice for the director. Lots of it was done paint by the numbers. This film had so much potential…
@@mr.patrickaloysiusbartholo4727 Pffff what are you talking about? The movie was outstanding and brilliantly directed. I doubt you could direct something 1% as good with an unlimited budget.
You’re right. I more than likely could not. I’m not a professional director. Nor am I claiming to be. (Though thanks the compliment… 🤔) It’s a first time effort from a rookie director and screenwriter and it shows. It feels more like a second draft than a final copy. I’m certain this person will improve with time I hope.
It was sooo realistic !!!!! Loved it !!!!it spoke to my heart !!!! Cried several times !!! Just saw it !!! OMG !!!! What a superb film I felt her pain at the end when she was crying !!!! Sooo very real , particularly coming from a recent heartbreak !!!!!!
@@mr.patrickaloysiusbartholo4727What’s unique about your take is that it’s completely wrong. Celine Song is going to be nominated at the Oscars for best director and best screenplay, and may very well win those awards. Funny that you say the directing was “paint by the numbers” when every critic is praising her for how thoughtfully written and directed this is, despite her status as a rookie filmmaker.
Among all the superhero movies around us, A24 never seems to fail to deliver real stories.
Exactly! This is how they use diversity to their advantage while not appearing "woke." All we ever need is a great story. Not political propaganda.
There is a place for everything. You can praise something without bringing down another thing
Y’all are so bitter
Once you start knowing where to look the “they don’t make good movies anymore” argument falls apart
@@loosescrewentertainment9367 YES!!!! Specially with these guys. Everything Everywhere All At Once made me believe you can make simple and good movies.
This was a really good movie. I thought about it for days after watching it. The feeling she had at the end hit close to home. Good job once again, A24.
This film was absolutely amazing! It really touches your soul and it's realistic. If you've had or are experiencing a similar situation as the characters, this film can move you deeply. I'm so glad I got to experience it in theaters, if you're reading this and are curious, definitely run and go watch it too, it's a great film experience!
I wish I've watched it in theaters too. You're so lucky. There are movies that are better watched in theaters and this is definitely one of those.
Teo Yoo with his emotional eyes, charming smile above all this man's voice, OMG! he is the perfect cast for that role . All the actors portraying their roles so realistic, definitely would need boxes of tissues for sure to watch this :(
YES!!
He’s so dreamy ❤
Teo Yoo have the charisma of jang dong gun and gong yoo combined. eloquently put in the movie. good chemistry with Greta Lee
I fell for him since I watch (Chocolate) k-drama
And if you've ever heard him speaking German, you'd be crushed to gobsmacked !🥹❤️🔥
I think what makes this movie big is that it captures all the small, intimate moments that make up romance. It’s so beautiful to watch!
My emotion got hit again and again, I tried to hold it in throughout the movie but cried my eyes out at the very end after hearing what Haesung said to Nayoung, I said something like that to someone before only to realize later that it was just a foolish wish. We always think about "What could/would have been if that day I did this instead of that? Would we have been together?" but what good does it do when nothing can be changed now
In April 2024 who are watching this like me😭💥
February 8 2024 😊
Where can I watch it?
@@anushka2602lookmovies
Every husband's worst fear is finding out you were just....easy to live with and her heart was elsewhere. Her smiles that never touched her eyes, the lack of conversation on date night, or missing quiet shared moments. The feeling of being alone when she's right next to you...let it go. Let her go. She's too afraid to say it herself. She doesn't have to heart...but maybe you don't either.
Hah Jesus... This comment seriously packed a punch. I'm still nursing an emotional bruise from what a terrifically painful concept that is, and how deftly it was articulated. While I wanted to nod and move on, that idea that you're more or less 'easy to live with' really stopped me in my tracks and made me think.
Well regardless, cheers! That was beautifully worded
This comment. It’s a film on its own❤
😢😢😢 love is always a choice. It's not that he is easy to live with ... but love can be a steady commitment ❤. Butterflies and sparks 💛 ✨️ can fade in time ... but He is the steady person you cannot live without .
Love can be this ... too.
We have lots of " what if" , " the one that got away" story... Remember who is sticking with you till the end. That means something...That is being devoted, committed.
Bro got cucked
As a woman who has been married to the woman of my dreams for 12 years, this hit me hard because I feel this personally.
Wow. Anyone who has experienced a strong, deep mutual romantic connection with someone, but who knew that it could never be for whatever reason, will instantly connect with this trailer, and I presume the film.
Is the film in English?
@@MichaelCTruth mostly Korean, with subtitles.
"who knew that it could never be for whatever reason"
That reason: race simping.
I know right 😭
This film was beautiful and honest. I love this Korean proverb and the idea that we are all connected somehow. It’s making me appreciate all the short interactions that I have everyday. It’s given them a new beauty.
Can’t wait to watch this movie again someday.
I saw this at TIFF. One of the most beautiful and touching movies I have ever seen. It's poetry in motion and I was so moved by how the characters conveyed so much without saying too much. This will remain a lifetime favourite film of mine 🥰
0:50 this scene definitely got me, that first meeting was so strong. The chemistry is already perfect, i feel like I felt all of their emotions inside me. I'm ready to cry, the vibe is so real, it's already painful. This movie will definitely leave a beautiful scar.

Humans are dumb. We know that the woman love her childhood friend deeply with all the good and sweet memories and guess what? She end up marrying another guy. This also happens in real life. The human race should go into extinction because this does not even make sense and end up hurting other people's feeling. Yeah, I'm talking about that white guy
I kind of felt like she and the American had a much more natural chemistry, she seemed oddly detached from the Korean guy while still feeling nostalgic or sort of revelling in the memory of their shared past.🤔
@@lindisamathabela3192 chemistry is expressed differently linguistically and culturally. You have to examine meta behaviours across a longer time period to see how loving an East Asian or South Asian couple is imo. Not just single interactions, like in the west lol
@@pulse3554 you can compliment eastern romance without insulting the west you know
i felt butterflies just by watching this trailer... this is so relatable for both sides, i mean... we all can see ourselves in his situation, bur also at hers, who wouldn't want to see again some childhood love?
crazy, cant wait to see it.
who wouldn’t want to see a childhood crush again? when you’re married? uhm… people who don’t cheat 😂 that’s toxic af
@@Zak.612 Calm down dude. It's not cheating to contemplate the "what ifs?" of your life. That's just being human. Through the trailer it doesn't show either of them acting on it. We will just have to wait and see
@@clareflattery8720 dwelling on thoughts that are borderline cheating is being unfaithful. You shouldn't even go there and no something being human or having these thoughts doesn't make it moral. It's human to defecate. We don't defecate in public rather bathrooms for a reason. It's like babies are even taught don't take candy from strangers. They have no problem in complying even though it's "human to want candy"
@@clareflattery8720 I’m pretty sure her straight up telling her husband she misses another guy is enough to consider emotionally cheating. I don’t understand what would compel someone to want to spend time alone with a person you had romantic feelings for while you’re in a relationship. I would consider that very inappropriate.
@@HeyIntegrity The director is clearly approaching this story in a deeper more mature way. Than just the black and white caveman talk that you're picturing it to be. I hope you watch it and I hope we all take something away from it. That's what good stories do and this looks like it's gonna be a great one.
An emotionally intelligent film. Throughout the movie I couldn't help but try to understand the underpinning theme of the story. One thing is true though, that it is deeply human to find, at some point in our lives, pragmatism and the ideals of our youth, warring within us. The two are in desperate conflict with each other. Each having their own set of goals, determined to declare victory over the other. Past Lives explores this duality through a very tender and wonderfully aesthetic screenplay. The film's score was amazingly unique as well. Every piece seemed to fit perfectly with the sentiment of the scene. I particularly enjoyed the constant nonverbal communication displayed between the two main characters. There were these frequent and silent moments shared between them that seemed to force the audience into those moments with them. To feel every passing second of them. Great film!
don't mind me... i just keep coming back to this trailer when i want to feel heartbroken.
Same ❣️
Can't wait to watch it. I've heard that it was the best movie viewed at Sundance. The concept is gripping. Chills would go through my spine at the thought of meeting my crush 20 years later. So beautiful characters.
@@sstewart218it's the thought of it, the "what if" I mean crushes are special, the butterflies, and if they like you back, it's like a fairy tale. And if they were your best friend during childhood? It's a relationship, a feeling, that I don't think even time could separate
@@uhlexseeuhthe last sentence hit me
@@uhlexseeuh lmao anyone who thinks this is romantic is a cheater for sure
@@sstewart218 It's like reminiscing the good times, your childhood, the "what ifs." Basing on the trailer, it's going to be bittersweet, since I feel like both characters won't act on their feelings since the girl is married already. It reminds me of the "Alone/Together" movie but better.
@@uhlexseeuh crushes generally come and go. It's not something chilling 20 years later when you've grown up
yup i'm crying already 😭
what's youtube doing over here
lmao
TH-cam crying on TH-cam😂😂😂😂
This can't be real
😢OMG. ME TOO. like BRUH MOMENT.
This movie was everything I expected it to be. Those long takes and shot selection paired with the performances really brings the film alive. I like how simple and straight to the point the writing is (I say this because it’s similar to something I’ve experienced before. It may have not been simple and straightforward for everyone) while also having some thought provoking moments at the same time. Best movie I’ve seen in a while for sure
I just watched this movie, and I did it twice. I felt it so profoundly, and I found it hard at the same time. The movie said so much with so little. All the dialogue was kept to a minimum, but necessary. 'Love' was submerged in the oceans of life filled with ambition and the pursuit of company. Here I am, bawling my eyes out, celebrating the visual poetry of real life and how human relations are found and lost and perhaps stayed apart.
Saw this last night as the opening film for the Seattle International Film Festival and was just utterly blown away. Such an absolutely beautiful film-I'm so impressed by how Celine Song is completely unafraid to allow a moment to just...breathe. And how her characters convey so much with just a look or a gesture, negating the need for dialogue.
Adding to the overall feel of the film was the score, which had an ethereal quality that made it feel as if you were watching the story unfold as if in a dream. Just stunning. If you have a chance to go see this film, I highly recommend it!
Did the ending leave you sad?
@@maxbates91 More...bittersweet, than sad, I think. Yes, there was a certain measure of sadness, but not because of how things worked out between them, necessarily- more because I think it was for the first time, Nora truly accepted what her ambition had both cost and given her. Also bittersweet because I think both of them were saying a definitive goodbye to their childhoods.
The music is giving me chills
I felt like the movie would have worked better as a 10 minute short film.
@@BCF825 what I feel maybe I also feel same😊
I am so excited for this! Past Lives was everyone's favourite movie at The Sundance
Ariana, what are you doing here?
Wow, I must say the movie was absolutely great! Even though I typically don't like romance films, I strongly believe that today's cinema truly necessitates a movie like this one: simple with deep emotions and without exaggeration. The carefully crafted scenes, visually stunning shots, and music all meld together. The movie completely surrounds you, carrying you away like a calm stream. Personally, it left me completely astonished.
can't you just visit her instead of moving?
I just watched this film and it’s better than I expected it to be. Touches on something that most of us have experienced once in our life.
The K-guy is so annoying because he did not make moves or confess feelings when he was still single. Then he appears back to her life seemingly wanting to rekindle the flame, when he did not light up any in the first place.
There was no backstory as to why he was not able to profess his love. Both of their parents got along well, or is this K-culture I'm missing, that they're not vocal.
From Love to Hate You - to this movie that really looks promising, I love that Teo Yoo is gaining mainstream traction! And he's not doing it by playing cliche movies/dramas, but he's taking on projects that are so unique and beautiful! Tbh I only got to know him from his very female empowering drama, Love to Hate You but seeing this trailer, I think I'm gonna keep an eye out for him from now on. I'm a new fan!
Thank you! I was wondering why his face was so familiar! I loved him in Love to Hate You and this movie looks good too.
Watch him in the drama Money Games. He's a great actor.
@@minkki5656 thanks! Will check that out 😄
This looks great, but why does every romance have some guy that gets dumped so the beautiful couple can get together in the end?
He made an impression in Chocolate. And much more in Money Game.
It literally brought me to tears. Poetic in a way gently telling a story that channels through 30+ years of life. It’s a friendship built upon the trust and transcends into a caring love. Not about control nor any resentments! Courage at last that puts two of them spiritually connected but also disconnected with nothing but best wishes!
True it was a heartfelt one, one that connects not just dots but fate like moments leading to their now
I have watched this trailer more than I'll admit because the feelings it evokes in me are so visceral and nostalgic. "What if" lives within all of us. Beautiful. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I watched the movie last night and watched the trailer again today, it still gave me chills. Amazing movie.
Korean cinema is taking the world over with its authenticity, fearlessness, wit, and delicate beauty. I’m so happy that it exists!
Absolutely!
Me too🥺🥺🥺 it’s so refreshing to see original ideas executed so well❤
"Just because we dont talk, doesn't mean I don't think about you. I distance myself from you because I know I can't have you."
This ones gonna hurt, I can already see it.
I just saw this! I was so engaged with the characters. I lost myself in the scenes. Pure love!
I don't have anyone I can call my soulmate, but this movie, for some reason, made me feel like that person exists. Every scene in this movie is not to be missed.
Any movies similar to this? It's been a while since a movie made me feel this way.
its a masterpiece for sure, but this movie hurts even more to those people who dont have (and never had) anyone in their life. Its so weird that most people always have (and had) someone or the other in their lives right from the very beginning of their life, but on the other hand, some people never had anyone, ever, never got even a chance to have any sort of relationships. Such people only imagine what it would feel like to actually have someone who they could call a soulmate, and then correlate with such movies. Doomed romance movies are often a reminder how things actually work in real life for 'normal' people, but still, almost no one talks about those who are still waiting for their "first".
watch 96 tamil movie from 2019, you would be in tears.
Watch the show "normal people" :)
Update: The most intimate, heartwarming, and real film I've ever seen. Both funny and bittersweet, the writing and cast make you smile and cry about the nuances of love in practice. Went to watch it last weekend on opening, and its been on my mind since. Celine Song, Greta Lee, Teo Yoo, and John Magaro are the perfect combination of people for depicting how circumstances so often out of our hands can both bring together and break apart the most perfect combinations of people.
do you have any idea when is gonna come out on theaters?
@@kevinvitualla It's out in NYC/LA now! I believe June 23rd for all other theaters
An honest question, beacause I'm really interested in your opinion: Do you watch or have you seen a lot of non-mainstream films? I consider this mainstream in the sense that it's world-famous, is shown everywhere, etc. Is this "just" better than all Hollywood films, or...?
Watch the movie "Us and them" (Chinese movie). I really like this movie. Realistic and mature. You might like it.
I just saw this film this past weekend, and I cried like a baby. It definitely tugged at my heart strings because I have been through something similar. The movie is slow, but with a purpose. It’s not slow as in boring. It’s as if you’re taking in every single emotion. You feel the desire, the anxiousness, the warmth, the comfort and the pain of both characters. Absolutely heartfelt, a story many could relate to, as I do 😢myself. I believe that there is a soulmate that you connect with out there. And if you can’t be with that soulmate, you will never find true love again. Just a brilliant film.
@@a.jazmin06 at the movie theater
@@a.jazmin06 you’re very welcome!
So you were had the hots for a catatonic Korean dolt too?
Wait so she doesn’t feel that her husband is her soul mate? Ah man I wanted to watch it but my ex left me for a childhood friend after we had 11 years together because he was her “soul mate”. We worked well together too but she said she needed him even though she loved both of us. I feel this movie would open too many old scars still healing.
@@joesimmons7195 I highly doubt it was only because he was her soulmate. You weren’t fucking her right dog.
This was a very kind film, even the conflict was handled by the characters in a very kind way. Very touching.
Nice description. Now I'm very intrigued to watch this movie even more
How can a trailer made tears welled up in my eyes.... This 2 mins clip is simply breathtaking !
I feel like this movie will break my heart no matter what happens at the end.
Its a real twist, she gets killed in a car accident and the two guys hook up and get married to each other..
@@mrbeeoutdoors3213 such a cliche. Will they ever come up with something original?
@@Smoove_Jno 🙄 lol
the concept isn't gripping lol. walk down any street in California and you'll see like 10 wmaf every hour. 99.99% of them are miserable and the asian woman knows she should have married an asian man instead. this movie is basically the same thing. wmaf is the world's most toxic pariring.
I grew up in Japan and I had a childhood friend just like this movie! Our parents used to joke that we'll be a married couple when we grow up. Then we moved to California where I'd spend a majority of my adult life. Sometimes when I look at my old photo albums and see our pictures together, I do wonder how he's doing or whether or not he still remembers me
What's stopping you from contacting him?
@@chapped_lips His family moved about a year after my family moved so I have no idea where he is
@@Yesnog05 Ohh but do you still remember his name? Look for him online or smth!
The movie made me feel things I wasn't ready for. I finished watching this at 2.05 am yesterday. Cried the whole night. Phenomenal direction, painfully beautiful ❤️
i come back every single day to watch this trailer, i love it so much
This trailer alone gave me chills. Only watching 2 min and I already felt myself enter their world. Can’t wait to see this film in its entirety! 😭
Same. Started tearing up almost straight away
This movie depicts the different and complex emotions of the three people really well. I empathized very deeply with the three people throughout the second half of the movie.
Hey how’d you watch this? Cant find it anywhere
Vumoo
Saw this last night. It broke me. I don't believe there's another life but if there is, I hope Nayoung and Haesung find each other again.
I just got teary watching the trailer. Maybe because I left Korea 40 years ago. I was just a kid then. I didn’t have childhood crush either but there is something about this trailer that is so subtle and delicate that touches me straight to the core.
I can’t wait to see it on cinema.
Another perfect film from A24 is never a bad thing!
I don’t think I’ll be able to watch this without crying. The chemistry is off the charts. I had a childhood sweetheart. We met when we were 9 and I just immediately felt curious about him, I just wanted to know everything about him. We stayed friends all through middle school and in high school we dated. It wasn’t anything serious but I do have fond memories of it. We reconnected in our early 20s and he broke my heart over and over again. We’re in our mid 30s and I still think of what would have happened if we had stayed together from high school, if he had not done what he did when we were young, if maybe I chose myself too early on without trying for us. I’ll never know I guess.
One of the boring movie ever
@@crxwillie4505Don't be mad because the Asian woman emotionally cheated on her white beta cuckboy husband.
this may contain spoilers read at your own risk
never watching this movie again. not because it wasn't good, but because it was so amazing that I felt it in my soul. it left me with feeling like I was going through my own heartbreak. I truly felt the character's tension, feelings and emotions. it just felt so real - it was terrifying to watch because us viewers don't even know what will happen in this story, and we can only wait to find out just like the characters had waited years to meet. I cried throughout the whole movie, and I don't think I can experience that again. I absolutely loved this movie and recommend it, it is such a beautiful watch and will absolutely leave you speechless.
This studio is doing amazing work breathing life back into cinema for this genre of movie and story telling. I hope it plays at my Regal theater.
Once in a lifetime type of movies. I just watched it a few hours ago this movie has me so emotional. I always wonder what could have been with my ex if the circumstances were different. This is one of the best movies in the past 30 years. Celine and the cast did an amazing job. They deserve best director, best actor and best actress.
Man I should've seen it in the cinema. Can imagine how good it must have been. Just watched it now and it's had such a profound effect on me.
Just tearing up from watching the trailer. Can't wait to watch the entire film !!

Reminds me of the sequence in Yi Yi when the father meets up with a childhood friend and they seamlessly go through these ups and downs in what could have been. This looks beautiful!
Was going to say this felt so familiar. Though _Before Sunset_ originally came to mind, you're right it feels so much like _Yi Yi_
인연 is one of my favorite words in Korean, and I loved hearing it often when I was in Korea. It speaks to the depth of how Koreans think of relationships and the word comes from Buddhist teachings. It is nice to see a film that will speak on that. I am also looking forward to the Korean-American mix of thinking in this film. I just hope she does not leave her husband. I just hope they meet each other as friends and it is a good memory but I hope she is faithful. I am looking forward to seeing this film.
But is is literally Chinese. It pronounced the same.
@@jennifer870607 I wonder if Italians do the same thing with English words since they’re all based in Latin. Wait, they don’t, they don’t really care. Seems like it’s only Chinese that act like they have ownership of all things asian culture, EXCEPT for anything that’s bad
@@jennifer870607 But... is Buddhism Chinese?
If they talked about the Red String of Fate, maybe you'd have some grounds to claim but I find it difficult to see where you can claim that Buddhism originated in China.
@@RaeneTheFaerie Buddhism originated in India. The Buddha was born in Nepal. It’s distinctly a Dharmic philosophy. But Indian philosophy has had a distinct and intense influence on China for 2500 years (potentially more), and in that time Chinese forms of Buddhism have branched out, adding their own flavor
@@pulse3554 Cool beans. I don't think you replied to the right person.
Excellent film. Surprised by Teo Yoo’s performance. He unexpectedly made me cry multiple times 😞
If you’re contemplating whether you should watch it, go do it!
Just watched this in the cinema here in Melbourne. I was crying by the end! I could relate to something similar that happened in my life, but such a powerful film. Thank you for this masterpiece ❤
This is going to wreck me and heal me at the same time. So many buried emotions just resurfaced from the trailer alone. I'm so excited about this movie and Celine Song's future!
Wreck me and heal me, that's so beautiful🥹
Lol ok
The way they edit their trailers is a form of art in itself…
How can few minutes leave such impression ?
Celine Song deserves all the flowers for this amazing debut. Gonna go down as one of my favorites
The stares, the looking at each other. Lovely
Yoo Teo is such a good actor i cant wait to see him play the main lead ✨
All of these comments are so beautifully written, just shows how real this story can be for anyone. June 2nd can't come fast enough.
The trailer made me cry! I have to watch this!
There's so much beautiful subtlety to the moments between the starcrossed leads. Just a smile shared feels momentous. It warms the heart even as it steals your breath.
When a trailer makes you cry, you know artists were involved in the making of something that will resonate with everyone's heart no matter what your heart went through.
This is intense. The spoken words alone... this will be painful but worth every tear. Teo Yoo you deserve your flowers.
I am going to repeat your words cause this phrase is so beautiful. Please let me steal it. I cant bear.
A cinematic masterpiece, defined by its simplicity and elegance. With a remarkable cast and a beautifully crafted narrative, the film delves into the depths of emotion, evoking a poignant sense of nostalgia for bygone love stories. This heartfelt journey through time will resonate with viewers, leaving them deeply moved by its portrayal of enduring romance and the echoes of the past.
❤
I'm so in love with this movie -- one of the best films I have seen in years. This movie alone has made Celine Song one of my favorite directors
You saw it at Sundance?!😮
Are you famous?
@@Andyyoureastar yeah! got super lucky on the waitlist and was able to see the premiere
Just tell me what happens, I don't plan on watching.
@@szargos casual
Why am I crying and this is only the trailer? WTF
The shots, the light, the colors, the cinematography, the dialogues oh my, oh my, oh my
I need this film now! I want to suffer ! Give it to me
such a great movie.. no explosions, car chases, cgi.. just people connecting and seeing how life can unfold. loved it
I am going to watch this for the male lead. He’s just too beautiful. He speaks Korean, English and German fluently. Yes German. I believe he was born there. He’s just so extremely handsome. I watched an interview he did gushing about his wife and my goodness that shot him to the moon on the gorgeous, hot, amazing, you can’t beat this man scale as far as I was concerned. He’s an all around gem.
His name is John Magaro.
His name is Teo Yoo. John Magaro played the husband.
I don’t usually watch romance movies but dude- this looks absolutely stellar. I love A24 and their horror but this just seems like a beautifully haunting film. I’ll be anticipating this one
This trailer is excellent! Great to see it again now, a few weeks after I saw the movie in the cinema and re-immerse in the feeling this beautiful film imparted. Greta Lee did great. They all really did. I loved watching the movie. But to me, it was seeing afterward, and for the first time, a photo of Celine Song -which correctly captured the look in her eyes and her attitude-, that made the veracity of a few scenes totally legit.
This movie really struck a chord in my heart. At the end it made me cry and made me think about the "What if". Being in a relation with someone for a decade and to always think about the "What if"... made my heartache.
unfaithful pos
Ahhh I felt teary eyed just at the trailer. I can't wait to see this! I'm so thankful for A24 letting filmmakers make their life stories
OMG! I am already bawling with the trailer. This must be good.
Wonderful film, fantastic and unbelievably natural performances with superb non-verbal acting too. Poignant and beautifully understated. The simple stories are often the ones best told
