A Moment to Remember - Easter Eggs & Hidden Details
Easter Eggs
The Coca-Cola Product Placement as a Motif
While blatant product placement, the director turns the Coke can into a vital narrative motif. The slow-motion shot of Su-jin guzzling the drink is an homage to commercial filmmaking styles that mirrors the director's own background in commercials.
Nessun Dorma and Spanish Boleros
The soundtrack is unusual for a Korean melodrama of the era, featuring Puccini's 'Nessun Dorma' and Spanish songs like 'La Paloma.' This 'global' sound palette reflects the characters' aspirations for a life beyond their immediate social confines.
