Quick Facts
Title Guide and Timeline
Directed by Kim Do-young, Once We Were Us stars Koo Kyo-hwan as Eun-ho and Moon Ga-young as Jung-won and adapts Rene Liu’s 2018 film Us and Them. The Korean version places the couple’s youth in Seoul around the 2007 global financial crisis, where employment, housing, and plans for the future create material pressure. Their chance meeting fifteen years later gives those earlier choices a second frame, so a useful way to read the film is to notice how it moves between periods and lets the same memories carry different meanings at different stages of life.
The Korean Film Council records a December 31, 2025 release, a 114-minute runtime, the director, and the principal cast; its industry reporting also documents the remake relationship and international rollout. Scenemark’s two current references sit around the middle portion of the film and provide seek points for specific passages rather than a full retrospective. This guide brings together historical setting, character structure, source-film context, and release data so the time records can be used with verifiable film background.

How This Page Is Maintained
Scenemark Editorial Desk maintains the annotations separately from third-party catalog metadata. A published entry must have contextual notes, a synopsis, multiple independent reference links, and a recorded content-check date.
- Timestamp scope: each timecode belongs to the named film or episode, not to the whole series runtime.
- Metadata scope: external references support title, year, cast, and genre checks; they are not presented as the source of Scenemark annotations.
- Record check: 2026-06-15. Corrections are logged through the contact channel.
