Recap

The video opens with a playful warning to grab tissues—and, if you’re hungry, Popmie or even a partner—because My Girl and I is expected to bring on the tears. The story is framed by a high-school reunion, where Su-ho’s friends find him gazing out toward the sea. The view takes him back to the romance that shaped his youth.

At school, ordinary, awkward Su-ho is stunned when Su-eun, the beautiful and popular girl in his class, starts paying attention to him. She asks him to buy her croquettes, and he has to push through a crowd of admirers to deliver them. His friends can hardly believe she likes him; one jokes that she may just be tired of handsome guys. A jealous judo-club student confronts Su-ho, but Su-eun boldly declares that they really are dating.

Their affection grows through school-day teasing, phone calls, and a secret trip to an island that Su-ho’s friends arrange for the two of them. At the inn, they sing together in the rain, and Su-eun kisses him. But their happiness is interrupted when she collapses. Su-ho later learns that she has leukemia.

The story also echoes Su-ho’s grandfather’s lost first love. The grandfather tells Su-ho how wartime duty separated them and how he never saw her again. That story gets a heartbreaking coda when a woman returns a necklace and explains that the grandfather’s former love had kept it and wanted to see him before she died. Su-ho had hoped Su-eun would be his own destined love, making the parallel especially painful.

As Su-eun’s condition worsens, Su-ho tries to take her back to the island for her birthday. A storm shuts down the boats, and despite his frantic efforts, he can’t get them across. He returns to her, apologizes, and cries as she waits for him. The story later shows Su-ho grieving at his grandfather’s funeral home, strongly implying that Su-eun has died.

Years later, Su-ho revisits the island and the inn they once shared. He finds Su-eun’s bag and diary, then goes to the hill where she had scattered flower seeds. The film ends there, with her memory—and the seeds she left behind—still with him.
