Nominated for Best Picture and Best Original Screenplay 
Na-young (Moon Seung-ah) and Hae-Sung (Leem Seung-min) are childhood sweethearts separated when Na-young's family leaves South Korea for Canada. Twelve years later, Na-young now goes by Nora (Greta Lee) and reconnects with Hae-Sung (Teo Yoo) online. The distance between them is too great to overcome and they again break up. Twelve years after that, Hae-Sung visits Nora and her husband (John Magaro) in New York.
This was a very straightforward movie. It was kind of nice to see a female character be absolutely resolute in her decisions. No waffling, no regrets, no what-if-ing into paralysis. But it also removes any dynamism. Frankly, I found it a little boring but romantic dramas just really aren't my bag. If they are yours, give this one a shot. It's currently streaming on Paramount+ with the Showtime option.
