Be with You

Woo-jin lives with his young son Ji-ho, still aching for Soo-a after her sudden death. He holds on to a promise she made that she would return when the rainy season arrives, as if the weather itself could bend time. When the season finally comes, Soo-a returns, but she does so without memories of the husband and child she once cherished. The pair are drawn into a fragile reunion that tests trust, grief, and a chance at rebuilding what was lost. As the man and boy try to welcome this second chance, they must decide how to define family and what it means to love someone who cannot recall their shared past.

Be with You borrows from Takuji Ichikawa's Be with You and was released in 2018. The story centers on So Ji-sub and Son Ye-jin, with Kim Jae-joong and Kang Su-Jin among the driving creative minds, and a noted production team.

Be with You earned approximately 18.6 million dollars at the global box office, reflecting moderate success for a romance drama. The figure signals solid international interest, particularly in East Asia, though it remained niche compared with bigger releases.

The story sparked conversations about memory and second chances in relationships, resonating with romantic drama audiences and fueling online discussions and fan art at forums and social media.

Critical responses praise the film for emotional depth and the blend of romance and fantasy while noting a quiet melancholy that lingers after the credits. Its core themes include longing, memory, family bonds, and the costs of holding on. The performances are singled out for warmth and restraint, and the film's mood lingers without tipping into sentimentality even amid a hopeful note at the end.
