Story
The story begins with the fact that Eun Zhu leaves the house called “Il Mare”. As she leaves, she leaves a Christmas card in her mailbox asking the next resident to send her mail to her whenever possible. San Hyun, an architect student, receives her postcard, but he is puzzled, since San Hyun is the first inhabitant of Il Mare and the postcard is dated two years in advance. After the correspondence, Eun Zhu and Sang Hyun understand that they live two years apart — Eun Joo in 2000, and Sang Hyun in 1998. After some testing, they discover that the mailbox in Il Mare allows them to communicate, and they can transfer objects through it.
Using the mailbox, Eun Zhu asks San-hyung to find a cassette player that she lost two years ago. Sun Hyun finds a player for her. After his father, a famous architect, fell ill, Sang Hyun asks Eun Zhu to get a book about his father. However, she gets into a small accident and, being hospitalized, cannot hand over the book to Sang Hyun in time for the death of his father. After reading the book, he finally accepts the love of his father and again begins to engage in architectural work.
Since Eun Zhu and Sang Hyun continue their correspondence, they decide to try to meet each other, each in their own time. Eun Zhu “leads” San Hyun to the amusement park , where he follows her instructions on how to have a good time in the park. Sun Hyun “leads” her to a restaurant where she drinks a bottle of wine, which he left two years ago. Despite having a good time at these “meetings,” they decide that they should try to meet in person.
Eun Zhu and Sang Hyun plan to meet in person at the beach, where she wanted to build a house two years later, in the future, Sung Hyun. However, when Eun Joo came to the beach, San Hyun did not appear. She sees a house on the beach, which was built for the lover of an unknown architect. When Eun Zhu tells San Hyun that he did not come, he is surprised why he did not appear. He does not think that he could forget about such an important date.
At work, Eun Zhu runs into his ex-fiance. They were going to get married, but he went abroad to work, while she stayed in Korea. They eventually broke up, and he married another girl. Eun Zhu, however, still loves him. This meeting was a shock for Eun Zhu and in despair, she asks San Hyun to intervene and stop her fiancé from leaving two years ago. After sending the letter, Eun Joo suddenly realizes that on this day she saw the car that shot down San Hyun. Eun Joo rushes to San Heon School of Architecture and learns that Sun Hyun was that pedestrian and that the house built on the beach was designed for her by Sun Hyun. She immediately rushes to the mailbox and sends a letter telling him about the danger.
The final scene returns to the beginning of the film, where Eun-Zhu is going to put his Christmas card in the mailbox in Il Mare. A stranger approaches her with a letter in his hand, a letter that Eun Zhu sent to warn San-hyung that he would not go to the meeting. San Hyun received her warning letter and was not hit by a car. Although Eun Zhu doesn’t remember anything about correspondence, Eun Zhu and Sang Hyun finally meet.
