Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Song based Nora on herself; she actually met her childhood friend in New York with her husband present, then wrote the screenplay in three weeks.
The film revives 'in-yun'—a Korean Buddhist concept of fated connections across lives—making it quietly revolutionary for American audiences trained on individualism.
