Heartbeat (2010 film)

When she hears that Hwi-do's mother had a traumatic fall and is now brain-dead, Yeon-hee eagerly attempts to purchase the heart.

Starring Kim Yunjin and Park Hae-il in the lead roles,[3] it is the directorial debut of Yoon Jae-keun, who previously wrote Hello, Schoolgirl (2008).

One donor is a live illegal immigrant, and Yeon-hee cannot bring herself to take his life in exchange for sending money to his family abroad.

She pays an exorbitant amount of money to arrange a transplant: the donor is a patient in a persistent vegetative state, and thus unable to consent.

Yeon-hee rationalizes to her doctor friend that the vegetative patient is an answered prayer and pleads him to perform the transplant.

Out of her guilt, Yeon-hee monologues to the patient, and cries that she would even go to hell for the illegal surgery, if it could save her little Ye-eun.

During the ride, he confiscates the transplant contracts from Yeon-hee (signed by Kang, who dated Hwi-do's mother for money), and takes over the driver's seat.

Ye-eun records a conversation on her teddy bear while telling Hwi-do that her mother is not a bad person.

Still, Ye-eun uses the girlfriend's cellphone to text Yeon-hee the consonants of the location of Hwi-do's auto repair shop.

Hwi-do arrives and finds Yeon-hee sobbing and listening to the audio recorded by the teddy bear.
