Our Movie – K-drama Episode 12 Recap, Review & Ending Explained
Episode 12 of Our Movie begins with Da-eum and Je-ha going to the theatre to watch the 'Love in White' remake. Only 2 other people arrive and they find it boring. Da-eum and Je-ha take it in stride and joke.
At present, Je-ha and Da-eum decide to focus on the few happy moments that they have. Da-eum shares that she is happy currently and they are inspired to create a new ending.
It is open-ended as Gyu-won is dying but we don't actually see her die. She is in Hyun-sang's arms and has the last line which is a message of hope. AD Hong and Seung-won tear up while reading it. Jung-woo wonders if Hyun-sang should cry but Je-ha directs him not to. He believes their love will give him the strength to continue living.
Elsewhere, Seo-yeong shares with Da-eum that she has broken up with Jung-woo. She was scared of being alone and ended up hurting everyone around her. Da-eum assures her that she is strong enough to always break out of her loneliness.
At the team dinner, AD Hong unwittingly looks after Jun-byoung and everyone teases her. She deflects by bringing attention to Cheol-min and Ms Jo who are getting quite cosy.
Kim Hyun-chul confides in Da-eum that his cancer has returned. He wasn't sure what to do, but she taught him how to live. They agree to live each day to the fullest.
Dr Lee finally visits the set on the last day of filming and Da-eum is delighted. But she is sad that everything is ending. While she and Je-ha discuss Gyu-won's story, it is clear that they are talking about themselves. They conclude that as long as Hyun-sang loves Gyu-won, she will not be forgotten.
Filming of the final scene begins. It is also the last scene of the movie and Da-eum is in Jung-woo's arms. However, both she and Je-ha imagine themselves in the scene. She closes her eyes and sees her mother. She is afraid to let go but her mother comforts her. Mrs Lee claims that she feels every emotion that Da-eum and Dr Lee feel whenever they miss her. Da-eum opens her eyes and it is a wrap.
Post production begins and while Je-ha is busy, he makes time for Da-eum. They go on dates and watch movies. She also spends time with Gyu-young who is unable to hold back her tears when they talk about her future. Spring arrives and Da-eum and Je-ha collect cherry blossom petals. She hopes he is as happy as he acts around her. He assures her that he is. It seems that this is the end for her and she doesn't want Je-ha to be sad because of her.
We see the rest of the cast and crew. Cheol-min and Ms Jo are dating. AD Hong is working on her script. Agent Go and Seo-yeong are picking her next movie. Gyu-young has resumed working.
The 'Love in White' remake has been released. The scene from the beginning of the episode is Je-ha's imagination. In reality, Da-eum has passed away. The theatre is packed and the movie is a hit. Da-eum has also gotten writing credits. Unable to take it, Je-ha leaves and tears up on seeing her poster.
A year passes. Jae-in and Gyu-young are friends now. They hang out at Jun-byoung's restaurant. Mrs Kwak boasts about her two daughters – Gyu-young and Da-eum. Seung-won gets deja vu as AD Hong casts a rookie as the female lead. Dr Lee has started watching movies with Je-ha. Kim Hyun-chul has passed away as well.
AD Hong's movie is being filmed and the crew is the same as that of the remake. Jung-woo is the lead and Seo-yeong has a cameo as his ex but it is amicable between them. Ms Jo sneaks Cheol-min some snacks but Je-ha steals them while visiting.
We learn that he hasn't seen the crew in a year. Seung-won checks on him but Je-ha reveals that he has been writing his next script.
He moves back into his family home. AD Hong and Jun-byoung help him out and it seems that the two are dating. Gyu-young sends Da-eum's annotated script of the remake, photos and her camera. There is also a recording just for Je-ha. In it, Da-eum declares that they will see each other again. Whenever he misses her, he just needs to think of her and she will feel it.
Soon, Je-ha begins filming his new movie. The male lead (cameo by Kang Hoon) doesn't understand his character's romantic feelings and Je-ha quotes Da-eum on how one just knows when one is in love.
At the end of Our Movie Episode 12, we see that Je-ha has taken to recording wherever he goes. He imagines Da-eum approaching him. He misses her and she can feel it.
The Episode Review
Our Movie Episode 12 is a rollercoaster of emotions, perfect for the rollercoaster ride that is this K-drama. Like the previous episode, it is bittersweet. There are as many fun, witty moments as there are heartwrenching and emotional scenes. The lines between Gyu-won's love story and Da-eum's blur as the two end up experiencing the same kind of love.
There are also constant references to the movie in Da-eum and Je-ha's real lives. He continues to love her even after she is gone, and that way, she is not forgotten. Their promise to stay happy is also seen in the narrative as all the characters play their part in living happily in the moment.
And while it is quite overdue, the story finally explores Da-eum's thoughts on her fate after her introduction and arguments with Je-ha at the beginning of the show. The imaginary conversation with her mother was quite sweet and we wish we had more of such introspection in the second half of the show.

Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Buckingham Palace has confirmed that King Charles is set to address the nation next week, marking the 80th anniversary of VJ Day. The King has pre-recorded an audio message that will be broadcast on 15 August, commemorating the anniversary of Japan's surrender to the Allies after the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945, effectively concluding the Second World War. This message will be aired prior to a remembrance service attended by the King and Queen, Second World War veterans, and Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer at the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire. The BBC will broadcast live the service, which aims to honour all those who served in the Asia-Pacific theatre, including Burma Star recipients, British Indian Army veterans, former prisoners of war, and those who fought in key battles such as Kohima and Imphal in India. The Royal British Legion, in partnership with the Government, will host the event, where the King and his wife, along with other senior figures, will lay floral tributes, reports the Manchester Evening News. A national two-minute silence will conclude with a Red Arrows aerial display, and the service will end with a flypast by the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, before the King and Queen attend a reception with Second World War veterans. While Charles and Camilla are attending the event at the National Memorial Arboretum, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh will be present at a service at the Scottish National War Memorial at Edinburgh Castle, organised by the Royal British Legion Scotland. Simultaneously, the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester will join the congregation at the Far East Prisoners of War VJ Day 80th Anniversary Service at Norwich Cathedral, before attending a second commemorative service dedicated to the Children and Families of the Far East Prisoners of War in Suffolk. Before VJ Day, Sophie is scheduled to meet Second World War veteran Jim Wren, who was serving on HMS Repulse when he was captured and held on the Indonesian island of Sumatra until the end of the war. The events marking the 80th anniversary of VJ Day will wrap up with a reception for veterans at Windsor Castle later in the autumn.
