From the initial disbelief that they were corresponding across time, they developed a friendship that supported each other through their doldrums. The male occupant had just lost his father to heart attack – a father whom he was estranged from but whom he still held deep respect for. The female occupant had just lost his boyfriend after he went overseas for work and she realized she still loved him deeply.
They taught each other how to be happier – from cooking to taking bus rides to the countryside and taking Viking rides. They had done the same activity but across years. They decided to make a pact to meet 3 years later, but the male occupant did not turn up. Instead, he commissioned the construction of a house he designed at the favourite beach of the female occupant. He dedicated this house to this one true love – the female occupant.
The female occupant was disappointed. When she realized her heart ache when her boyfriend announced his engagement to his girlfriend, she beseeched the male occupant to try to stop her ex-boyfriend from leaving her. However, enroute to the meeting place, the male occupant met with a fatal accident and passed away. This explained why he missed the appointment made 3 years before.
This is the second week consecutively that I watched a love story that transcended over time. Compared the mystery surrounding Secrets, Il Mare was at a slower pace with nicer sceneries. If Secrets were like a novel, then Il Mare would be like a poetry.
Which do I like better? Both, because the same theme actually resulted in different story lines and different feels.
