Once We Were Us

2025 · 1h 55m · Romance, Drama

Skip it. This reads like every other bittersweet K-drama reunion story—prettily shot nostalgia about young love meeting harsh reality, but without the buzz, cast names, or critical backing to justify two hours of your night. Unless you're specifically starving for melancholic romance about paths not taken, there's better ways to spend your evening.

Plot

Seoul, 2008. On a bus heading to their hometown, fate brings Eun-ho and Jeong-won together, sparking an unlikely friendship. While battling a bustling and weary city life, they find themselves sharing lofty dreams and a love that comes to feel extraordinary. But, eventually, the harsh realities of life lead them to part ways. Over a decade after the separation, the two unexpectedly reunite on a flight back to Korea, where they reflect on their lost time.
