The Film is a remake of the 2004 Japanese film of the same name, which is based on a novel by Takuji Ichikawa. The basic premise and the storyline of the film remain the same in both the Japanese and Korean versions, which follow the story of a woman who makes an unbelievable promise to her husband to return one year later at the start of the rainy season, only to reappear with no memory recollection.

In both versions, the main characters, Soo-ah and Woo-jin, are played by prominent actors Yūko Takeuchi, Son Ye-jin and Shido Nakamura, So Ji-sub, respectively. Both films also feature the couple's son, Jung Ji-ho, who is an important part of the story.

However, there may be some differences in the script, casting, and overall execution of the film between the Japanese and Korean versions, as the Korean version is a new interpretation of the original story. The Korean film is directed by Lee Jang-hoon, while the Japanese film was directed by Takashi Koizumi. Both films have received positive reviews from audiences and critics, who have praised the performances of the actors, the emotional depth of the story, and the cinematography.
