Have you ever felt that the phrase "keeping your word" sounds both reassuring and romantic? At seventeen, He Ju and Ji Yi made a promise to visit a sunflower field. From then on, that promise became the reason they kept fleeing from each other, and parting ways.
"So it really is possible to meet too late. He Ju, we're worlds apart, and we'll have to live worlds apart, too."
"Promises made when you're young aren't worth much, and they don't mean anything. Like when I told you I liked you back then, and you laughed and called me a freak. I laughed, too."
Theme: A love where both people make their way toward each other is the most meaningful.
