Bungee Jumping of Their Own (Korean번지점프를 하다; RRBeonjijeompeureul hada) is a 2001 South Korean romantic drama film starring Lee Byung-hun and Lee Eun-ju.[1] The film had 947,000 admissions, making it the 10th most attended film of the year.[2]

Plot

Seo In-woo (Lee Byung-hun) unexpectedly falls in love with In Tae-hee (Lee Eun-ju), a fellow student at the same university, when she asks to share his umbrella in a rainstorm. It is love at first sight for In-woo, and they start dating. After only a couple of weeks, Tae-hee dies unexpectedly when she is hit by a truck while crossing the street. They overcome their fears with the realization that Hyun-bin is Tae-hee reincarnated, and they are eternal soulmates. The film ends with a shot of them in New Zealand jumping off a bridge hand in hand. It is unclear whether they are bungee jumping or mean to end their lives together and be reincarnated again.
