What Is The Story of Past Lives?
At the beginning of the story, we see 12-year-old Nora and Hae Sung in Seoul, South Korea. They share a special bond between them and go on a cute date which was set up by Nora’s Mom. After this date, the family of Nora moved to Canada. The couple, Nora and Hae Sung, lose connection. One day, Nora realized that Hae Sung was also looking for her on a social media platform.
They connect there and gradually start a long-distance relationship. But for them, this long-distance relationship was not working. So, they decided not to talk. A total of 20 years passed, and Nora is now married to Arthur and living in New York. Hae Sung visits New York for a vacation. Nora and Hae Sung spent time together after 24 years which was out of the world. Both of them shared the same bond which they used to share when they were kids, but things are now complicated as she is married.
Who Does Nora Want; Hae Sung or Arthur?
Nora and Hae Sung spent a beautiful day together in New York, and they seemed to be happier. When Nora came back home, she saw Arther, but she felt a bit weird. She didn’t know what exactly she felt at that time as she spent a day in which Arther was nowhere and was now at home. She came back to the reality that she was married.
Arther was nervous and was fearing that their married life might get affected because of Nora’s childhood relationship. But Nora assures him that she will never leave him, and she loves Arther. She further says that their married life will never get affected by anyone. Despite his hesitation, Arther says it’s ok if she wants to meet Hae Sung.
The next day, Nora meets Hae again, but this time they spend more beautiful time together. Nora takes him to her apartment and lets Arther and Hae meet for the first time. The three of them go out to dinner. Nora sits between the two men and keeps translating Hae’s sentences so that Arther feels involved.
However, Nora and Hae talk a few times in Korean, in which they wonder that if Nora never left Korea, then they might be a couple. They were wandering in the thoughts that they were certainly looking for the 12-year-old version of love, but now they are different from that age.
Things have changed a lot, for sure. Nora waits with Hae for the cab which he booked for the airport. He asks Nora what they can call their connection for life long. She said she did not have any clue. Hae Sung leaves. Nora goes to her apartment and hugs Arther. She cries a lot. Well, the crying was not for Hae but for the lost version of herself.
