“Rosemary” is a drama that portrays an ordinary woman with two adorable children, who has just been informed on her terminal illness. While readjusting her surroundings, the woman becomes more aware of love for her family and is reminded of her modest but happy life. This drama has a trace of genuine human touch in that it gives you an opportunity to sense the importance of life through the eyes of terminally ill woman, where ordinary events are portrayed with beauty and inspiration.

“Rosemary” goes beyond presenting the life of a terminally ill woman. It involves a woman who tacitly prepares for death, and her husband who deeply regrets his past for not having fully expressed his love for her. It also involves an indiscreet young woman who has to take care of the dying woman’s children. Through their experiences, “Rosemary” helps us to reminisce on the true meaning of life.
