"She was with him forever, and he knew he would love her in the good times and in the tragic times, even in the winter of his life. She was always on the edge of his dreams."
- SHŌGUN by James Clavell
There's a word in Korean: 인연 [in yun] — it means "providence" or "fate". If two strangers walk by each other in the street, and their clothes accidentally brush, that means there have been eight thousand layers of 인연 between them.
"What if this is a past life as well, and we are already something else to each other in our next life? Who do you think we are then?"
PAST LIVES (2023) dir. Celine Song
