Why do Korean movies have to have such sad endings. Arghhh! Out of all of the foreign language films I've watched, the Korean films definately had the highest number of sad endings.

Here's a plot summary:

...This view was boosted in recent years by the neurobiologist Benjamin
Libet at the University of California. In an experiment he asked
subjects to perform a simple task, eg wiggle their little finger, at a
time of their own choosing, and measured accompanying brain activity.
Surprisingly, Libet could detect brain activity that predicted imminent
finger wiggling nearly half a second before the subjects were aware
they had decided to wiggle their finger!
