Synopsis

Part one

The film tells the story of a male college student, Gyeon-woo (Cha Tae-Hyun) and the Girl (Jun Ji-hyun) whose name is never given (in the movie). Gyeon-woo just cannot seem to catch a romantic break. His prospects are so pathetic that even his mother tries to help out, telling him to go visit his aunt for two reasons. One, that Gyeon-woo reminds his aunt of her son who drowned not too long ago; two, so his aunt can introduce him to the girl who used to date her son. Gyeon-woo repeatedly puts off going to see his auntie.

The movie begins with Gyeon-woo on top of a mountain, speaking wistfully about a girl he knew two years ago that had buried a time capsule with him on that mountain. She had never returned like she'd promised. Next, we see Gyeon-woo at a photo studio, having his passport photo taken. He is called by his aunt so that she can finally introduce him to the girl she's been trying to set him up with for many years. The movie then flashes back to the past.

The next scene shows Gyeon-woo at a restaurant with some of his friends. He is interrupted by a call from his mother telling him to go meet the girl that his aunt wants to set him up with. He refuses and continues to eat with his friends. At the train station on his way home, he observes a girl, stone drunk, standing precariously close to the edge of the train platform as the train approaches; he pulls her to safety just in time. Inside the train, Gyeon-woo cannot help but stare at the girl wavering back and forth. He is slightly attracted to her but also repulsed by her drunkenness. Finally, she throws up on a passenger and faints—but not before she calls Gyeon-woo "honey". The old man aggressively chides Gyeon-woo and tells him to take care of his girlfriend. Gyeon-woo, completely flustered, carries her all the way to the nearest motel. While he is showering, her cell phone rings. Stark naked he runs out to answer it and informs the caller of their location. Very soon, just as Gyeon-woo realises there are no towels in the shower, a pair of women police officers burst into the room and he is taken to jail.

After getting out of jail—where he was bullied by gangsters—he goes home. His mother chastises him with a vacuum cleaner for not turning up at his aunt's and there is a brief flashback of his lifetime failings as a student. He receives a call from the Girl demanding he meet her and explain why he was naked in bed with her. The Girl's dominating and demanding tone during the telephone call establishes her typical posture as a xanthippe, an attitude she maintains throughout the film. Both at the takeaway joint and at the bar to which she drags him she tells him to order, criticises his choices and then tells him what to order. Over soju she cries, admits to breaking up with her boyfriend the day before and gets thoroughly drunk, resulting in another trip to the previous motel.

After this second overnight stay at the motel, she begins to become a more active part of his life. She visits Gyeon-woo out in school and manages to get him to hang out with her. In one sitution she obtains permission from a feisty teacher by claiming she needs him to accompany her on the way to an abortion, with Gyeoon-woo being the father. Her mood swings wildly from joyful to downright violent but Gyeon-woo puts up with it and lets her abuse him for her amusement.

She is an aspiring scriptwriter and throughout the movie gives Gyeon-woo three different screenplays from different genres. The first is an action movie—The Demolition Terminator—which switches gender roles, symbolically having the Girl save her helpless lover (Gyeon-woo). The second is a wild perversion of a Korean short story—Sonagi—in which the Girl, having died, asks that her lover be buried along with her—even though he's still alive. The resulting situation is quite humorous. The last is a wuxia/samurai movie spoof full of genre clichés and anachronisms. All three feature the same common thread: the Girl is from the future.

Despite all the horrible things, Gyeon-woo endures; he is determined to help cure the girl's pain. So, no matter what happens, he bites his tongue and trudges on. During one adventure he decides to surprise her for her birthday and takes her on a nighttime trip to the amusement park which ends up quite differently than how he planned: The pair encounter an AWOL soldier who holds them hostage and rants on about his misery and eventually holds Gyeon-woo hostage. Throughout the first half of the movie she is resolute in her pain, dishing it out in plenty. As the second half comes around, however, she begins to change: she shows vulnerability
