Love Reset

In the thought-provoking and intriguing film "Love Reset," a chance accident leaves a married couple with a unique predicament, forcing them to re-experience and re-evaluate the intricacies of their relationship. The story revolves around the lives of Joon-young (played by Ryu Jun-yeol), a successful engineer, and Yeo-woo (played by Shin Ye-eun), his lovely wife. However, their seemingly perfect life is brought to a standstill when they receive news of a divorce settlement from their respective families - Joon-young's father and Yeo-woo's mother, who had been pushing for the separation. The settlement agreement outlines the division of their assets, including their home and bank accounts, with Joon-young giving up his share, much to his dismay. Feeling defeated and betrayed, the couple is dealt another severe blow when they're involved in a terrible accident. As a result, they both end up with severe memory loss, a condition known as retrograde amnesia, where they cannot recall any memories of their lives prior to the accident. As the story unfolds, Joon-young and Yeo-woo awaken at separate rehabilitation centers with no recollection of who they are, their relationship, or even their own families. Initially, they're unaware that they are a married couple, and their interactions with each other are filled with skepticism and confusion, adding a new layer of complexity to their situation. Despite this, they find solace in each other's company and discover that they share a deep emotional connection. As they navigate their new reality, they begin to fall in love once again - in fact, they grow closer, more so than they were before the accident. This newfound love forces their families to re-evaluate their decision to separate, and they begin to secretly try to restore Joon-young's and Yeo-woo's memories so that they can finalize the divorce. However, Joon-young and Yeo-woo remain blissfully unaware of these efforts. As they continue to grow together, their bond deepens, and they start to build a life filled with laughter, joy, and love. However, the truth eventually catches up with them, and they begin to uncover clues that hint at their forgotten past. Their families, who have been working behind the scenes to restore their memories, become desperate to see their plan succeed. They hope that by rekindling their memories, Joon-young and Yeo-woo will realize the imperfections of their relationship and eventually decide to part ways. This creates tension as the family members become increasingly invested in their grandchildren's lives, often at the expense of their happiness. Meanwhile, Joon-young's family, in particular, becomes convinced that their son deserves a better life, one that doesn't involve the struggles and unhappiness they believe he's been experiencing in his relationship with Yeo-woo. His grandfather, a wealthy and cunning businessman, takes matters into his own hands, resorting to underhanded tactics to manipulate events and ultimately push Joon-young and Yeo-woo down the path of separation. In contrast, Yeo-woo's family remains relatively more level-headed and empathetic. Her mother, though still a strong advocate for the divorce, displays a softer side, hoping that Joon-young and Yeo-woo will find happiness together, as she believes they truly love each other. As Joon-young and Yeo-woo continue to unravel the mystery surrounding their past, they grow increasingly frustrated and desperate. They yearn to remember the truth behind their relationship and uncover the reasons for their families' relentless efforts to separate them. However, in a twist that turns the story on its head, it's revealed that the memories they're trying to recall may not be entirely true. The film raises thought-provoking questions about the nature of love, the consequences of family influence, and the complexities of human emotions. Ultimately, "Love Reset" leaves audiences pondering the very essence of love and whether it can endure even the most daunting of challenges. As Joon-young and Yeo-woo navigate this existential crisis, they must confront the dark underbelly of their families' actions and the harsh realities of their own relationships. Will they ultimately find happiness together, or will the weight of their families' expectations tear them apart? The film's poignant conclusion leaves viewers with a lasting impression of the fragility and beauty of love, making "Love Reset" a must-see for anyone who's ever grappled with the complexities of the human heart.
