Directed by Song Il-gon, who also made the 2004 horror film "Spider Forest", the melodrama tells the story of a filmmaker named Hyon-song. He suddenly decides to leave for Woodo Island because of a promise he made with his ex-girlfriend to see each other on Sept. 5, 2004, on the same day exactly 10 years after they broke up. When he visits the motel where the couple stayed 10 years ago hoping seeing her again, Hyon-song meets a mysterious girl named So-yon, who works there helping out her uncle. The film was shot intensively in 10 days, with the film crew sleeping only four hours a day. Critics praised the film for its good use of the island's scenery, which complimented its mysterious and melancholy mood. Tickets: 3,000 won. Located near Anguk Station, subway line 3.
