Synopsis

Forrest Gump

A man with a low IQ has accomplished great things in his life and been present during significant historic events—in each case, far exceeding what anyone imagined he could do. But despite all he has achieved, his one true love eludes him.

The Day After

On her first day at work, Ah-reum replaces a woman who broke up with the boss. The wife of the boss finds a love note, bursts into the office, and mistakes Ah-reum for the other woman.
