Traces of Love (Gaeulro)

Traces of Love (Gaeulro) Movie Poster

The inexplicable, real-life collapse of a Seoul department store back in 1995 serves as the catalyst for this tale of a grief-stricken lawyer who must learn to love again after losing it all.

Law student Choi Hyeon-woo (Yu Ji-tae) and television director Seo Min-ju (Kim Ji-su) were the perfect couple - he having earned the respect of her old-fashioned parents and she a quick-witted beauty with a sunny disposition.

Though their fulgent future together was soon to be cemented in marriage, fate dealt Choi and Seo a cruel hand when a popular Seoul department store simply folded in on itself one day, instantly snuffing out the radiant young beauty as her soul-shattered fiancée watched helplessly from across the street.

Flash forward ten years later, and though he may have a successful career as a public prosecutor Choi has yet to recover from his devastating loss.

As Choi struggles to comprehend the corruption that forces him to drop the case he was just about to close, panic prone Yun Se-jin (Eom Ji-weon) does her best to cope with the anxiety that prevents her from living up to her full potential. Strangely, Yun was always in the background of Choi and Seo's lives.

When Yun and Choi meet by chance on the very same island where Choi and Seo were set to honeymoon, it begins to appear as if fate may not be as casually cruel as lovelorn lawyer Choi was once lead to believe.
