Our Movie – K-drama Episode 12 Recap, Review & Ending Explained
Episode 12 of Our Movie begins with Da-eum and Je-ha going to the theatre to watch the 'Love in White' remake. Only 2 other people arrive and they find it boring. Da-eum and Je-ha take it in stride and joke.
At present, Je-ha and Da-eum decide to focus on the few happy moments that they have. Da-eum shares that she is happy currently and they are inspired to create a new ending.
It is open-ended as Gyu-won is dying but we don't actually see her die. She is in Hyun-sang's arms and has the last line which is a message of hope. AD Hong and Seung-won tear up while reading it. Jung-woo wonders if Hyun-sang should cry but Je-ha directs him not to. He believes their love will give him the strength to continue living.
Elsewhere, Seo-yeong shares with Da-eum that she has broken up with Jung-woo. She was scared of being alone and ended up hurting everyone around her. Da-eum assures her that she is strong enough to always break out of her loneliness.
At the team dinner, AD Hong unwittingly looks after Jun-byoung and everyone teases her. She deflects by bringing attention to Cheol-min and Ms Jo who are getting quite cosy.
Kim Hyun-chul confides in Da-eum that his cancer has returned. He wasn't sure what to do, but she taught him how to live. They agree to live each day to the fullest.
Dr Lee finally visits the set on the last day of filming and Da-eum is delighted. But she is sad that everything is ending. While she and Je-ha discuss Gyu-won's story, it is clear that they are talking about themselves. They conclude that as long as Hyun-sang loves Gyu-won, she will not be forgotten.
Filming of the final scene begins. It is also the last scene of the movie and Da-eum is in Jung-woo's arms. However, both she and Je-ha imagine themselves in the scene. She closes her eyes and sees her mother. She is afraid to let go but her mother comforts her. Mrs Lee claims that she feels every emotion that Da-eum and Dr Lee feel whenever they miss her. Da-eum opens her eyes and it is a wrap.
Post production begins and while Je-ha is busy, he makes time for Da-eum. They go on dates and watch movies. She also spends time with Gyu-young who is unable to hold back her tears when they talk about her future. Spring arrives and Da-eum and Je-ha collect cherry blossom petals. She hopes he is as happy as he acts around her. He assures her that he is. It seems that this is the end for her and she doesn't want Je-ha to be sad because of her.
We see the rest of the cast and crew. Cheol-min and Ms Jo are dating. AD Hong is working on her script. Agent Go and Seo-yeong are picking her next movie. Gyu-young has resumed working.
The 'Love in White' remake has been released. The scene from the beginning of the episode is Je-ha's imagination. In reality, Da-eum has passed away. The theatre is packed and the movie is a hit. Da-eum has also gotten writing credits. Unable to take it, Je-ha leaves and tears up on seeing her poster.
A year passes. Jae-in and Gyu-young are friends now. They hang out at Jun-byoung's restaurant. Mrs Kwak boasts about her two daughters – Gyu-young and Da-eum. Seung-won gets deja vu as AD Hong casts a rookie as the female lead. Dr Lee has started watching movies with Je-ha. Kim Hyun-chul has passed away as well.
AD Hong's movie is being filmed and the crew is the same as that of the remake. Jung-woo is the lead and Seo-yeong has a cameo as his ex but it is amicable between them. Ms Jo sneaks Cheol-min some snacks but Je-ha steals them while visiting.
We learn that he hasn't seen the crew in a year. Seung-won checks on him but Je-ha reveals that he has been writing his next script.
He moves back into his family home. AD Hong and Jun-byoung help him out and it seems that the two are dating. Gyu-young sends Da-eum's annotated script of the remake, photos and her camera. There is also a recording just for Je-ha. In it, Da-eum declares that they will see each other again. Whenever he misses her, he just needs to think of her and she will feel it.
Soon, Je-ha begins filming his new movie. The male lead (cameo by Kang Hoon) doesn't understand his character's romantic feelings and Je-ha quotes Da-eum on how one just knows when one is in love.
At the end of Our Movie Episode 12, we see that Je-ha has taken to recording wherever he goes. He imagines Da-eum approaching him. He misses her and she can feel it.
The Episode Review
Our Movie Episode 12 is a rollercoaster of emotions, perfect for the rollercoaster ride that is this K-drama. Like the previous episode, it is bittersweet. There are as many fun, witty moments as there are heartwrenching and emotional scenes. The lines between Gyu-won's love story and Da-eum's blur as the two end up experiencing the same kind of love.
There are also constant references to the movie in Da-eum and Je-ha's real lives. He continues to love her even after she is gone, and that way, she is not forgotten. Their promise to stay happy is also seen in the narrative as all the characters play their part in living happily in the moment.
And while it is quite overdue, the story finally explores Da-eum's thoughts on her fate after her introduction and arguments with Je-ha at the beginning of the show. The imaginary conversation with her mother was quite sweet and we wish we had more of such introspection in the second half of the show.

Iconic The Simpsons scene could have been very different if problem hadn't occurred
An all-time great joke from The Simpsons could have been very different, with showrunner and writer Bill Oakley sharing what the original end to the moment was meant to be An iconic scene in hit animated comedy series The Simpsons was meant to be very different, but one thing changed it. The legendary programme has been running since December 1989 and shows no signs of stopping, although fans would be the first to admit the quality has dropped off since the glory days. Even then, the show receives millions of views on each broadcast. Former writers for The Simpsons have since shared some behind the scenes bits and pieces, with one writer sharing a different ending was planned for an all-time great moment. Costs behind the scenes led to the joke being rewritten, and the scene is arguably better off without the original plan. Former showrunner and Simpsons writer Bill Oakley confirmed the show's use of the Iron Butterfly song, In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, was because of song pricing. Another song had been in mind for the Season 7, Episode 4 release, Bart Sells His Soul, but the first choice was simply too expensive to warrant using. The hilarious scene where Bart Simpson switches the church organ music to the Iron Butterfly song was originally meant to feature a classic song from British rock band Led Zeppelin. Clearing the song would have been too expensive, and so the team opted for Iron Butterfly. Taking to X, Oakley wrote: "It was originally 'Stairway to Heaven' by Led Zeppelin but the music was too expensive so we had to go with this more obscure track." Fans believe the scene is better with the Iron Butterfly track and say it fits the moment perfectly. One user wrote: "Much better with Iron Butterfly." Another added: "This ended up being much better for comedy purposes." A third wrote: "This was the better choice. The song name is still biblical but not as obvious and the fact the real song is 17 minutes makes it way funnier than an 8 minute one. "Also for the longest time, I thought the song was called In the Garden of Eden until I looked it up." Other users have credited The Simpsons with keeping the Iron Butterfly song in popular culture. One user suggested: "I feel like I grew up thinking this song was more popular than it was because of this scene specifically." Another shared: "I never knew it was a real song until this moment." A third user suggested it added new depths to Bart Simpson, with many fans praising the writers for the last-minute switch. One fan wrote: "The fact that Bart seems so cultured in Rock Music to orchestrate such a stunt in the first place." Another added: "I think the alternative was for the best because having it be a 17 minute song makes the prank more hilarious."

Everything new coming to Aldi's middle aisle on Thursday, July 24
The supermarket has replenished its middle aisle with a range fo new and exciting items in time for summer Known for its infamous middle aisle with ever-changing products, Thursday marks the latest waves of Specialbuys arriving in Aldi stores for shoppers. Offering a range of unexpected and often quirky items, some people can never help but browse the popular store section. It's not always as random as it may seem, as each week follows a theme. This time, it focuses on things to keep kids occupied this summer, and the timing couldn't be more perfect as millions of kids spent their last days in school this week ahead of the summer holidays. Aldi also has a handful of items to celebrate Asian culture, bringing a Taste of Asia to the supermarket. Certain special items have only hit shelves today (July 24), and it can be rather overwhelming to browse what's in stock during your weekly shop. So, take a look ahead of time at what to expect with this roundup of some new items coming into stores. Summer fun and staycation: If you're heading to the beach this summer, Aldi is offering an affordable wetsuit range for adults (£29.99) and children (£9.99). All versions offer a windproof way to enjoy the waves with added comfort from the stretch material. Women's options range from sizes 10-14, while men's range from M to XL. Kids' options come in two styles— either Orange or Green—and range in sizes from ages 5-6, 7-8, 9-10, or 11-12. Even if you're not diving into the water, Aldi's Aqua Shoes (£4.99) will help those who just want a paddle without worrying about having a painful encounter with something buried beneath the sand. Ladies can grab a pair of black and pink shoes in sizes 4-8, whilst men get the black and blue option from sizes 7-11. A day at the beach can be made even more affordable by packing your own picnic at home, and transporting it in Aldi's Pull Along Picnic Cooler (£14.99) makes it even easier. The 40L container comes in three designs and offers a " spacious" solution to keep snacks and drinks cool "for up to 4 hours". When you've got to make your own fun on holiday, Aldi has lots of solutions this week. Keep kids occupied on long car rides with activity books (£2.49) and colouring pencils (£1.49). Or invest in one of the Toy Mania Fidget Toy Cases (£4.99) Set up some of your own games to play if you're taking a staycation this summer, like the Bean Bag Toss (£19.99). Burn off some energy with a range of sports balls, including volleyballs and American footballs (£3.49), or jump around with one of the cute Animal Hoppers (£8.99) . For anyone with access to a pool, there are some items that will make swimming even more fun, from Swimming Noodles (£2.49) to a range of Novelty Floats too (£4.99). Relax on these quirky pool toys shaped like a pizza slice or ice lolly made from durable PVC and come packaged up in a convenient small box you could keep at home or take abroad in your summer holiday suitcase. Taste of Asia and pets: Aldi is bringing its Taste of Asia event to stores this week with more products for people to try when cooking, drinking or snacking this summer. New snacks include Hello Panda chocolates (£1.09) and Mikado chocolate-covered biscuit sticks (99p). For bubble tea fans, two premade cans will be in the middle aisle as well, with flavours including Peach and Strawberry or Lychee and Passionfruit (both £1.25 each). The full range of items can be found around the store - including a sushi kit (£1.49), recipe mixes (59p), a Japanese Yuzu and Mandarin Gin (£16.99). Available for just £1.15, shoppers can also pick up two new crisp flavours—Asia Green Garden Chinese Style Salt & Pepper Hand Cooked Crisps (150g) and the Asia Green Garden Japanese Style Teriyaki Beef Flavour Hand Cooked Crisps (£1.15, 150g)—both offering a unique, tasty flavour that packs a punch. The internet is also raving about the new Matcha Latte sachets (£1.49, 6pk). It's not just about the humans at Aldi this week, with a selection of items meant just for pets - birds specifically. Whether you've got a bird of your own or want to help the local wildlife, Aldi has 2kg pouches of food from Birds Box starting from £2.49, including a Hi Energy Blend, Peanuts or Sunflower Hearts. Aldi Specialbuys are limited-time offers on unique items that appear in stores. The theme is refreshed every Thursday and Sunday, meaning shoppers tend to have a limited amount of time to get certain products. Often, they are sold on a first-come, first-served basis - but on occasion, if an item doesn't sell out straight away, it may be available for a few days after it's meant to come off the shelves. You can find details about upcoming Specialbuys by checking the Aldi website, picking up a leaflet in-store, or signing up for email alerts.

Animal shelter Hope Rescue takes starring role in new TV series
The four-part series, filmed at Hope Rescue's rescue centre in Llanharan, gives viewers a look behind the scenes of what staff do every day to give vulnerable dogs a second chance at life. Airing from July 29 at 8pm on ITV Wales, the programme will follow some emotional and inspiring journeys of the dogs at the centre. These will include ones which were found abandoned or straying and those rescued from crisis situations. Vanessa Waddon, founder and CEO of Hope Rescue, said: 'We're absolutely thrilled to share Hope's story with the world, especially as we celebrate our 20th anniversary this year. "We've always believed that every dog deserves hope, and this series shows exactly what that looks like in action. It's raw, genuine and full of heart – just like the rescue journey itself.' Each episode of Tails from the Shelter tells a different story – from German Shepherd Kevin, found collapsed on the roadside, emaciated and unable to walk, to finding Hope's longest resident – Gary, an eight-year-old American Bulldog his forever home, Hope, a pug abandoned at a local vet while in labour and Muffin, a lame lurcher needing surgery for cancer. The series also explores the impact of the cost-of-living crisis on pet ownership, the rise in dog abandonment, and the critical role that rescue centres like Hope play in protecting animal welfare.
