A still from the movie 'Your Letter'.
The 96-minute film follows Lee So-ri (Lee Soo-hyun), a bullied girl who moves from Seoul to a rural school where she once lived, hoping to find peace. Her past trauma makes it difficult for her to connect — until she finds a letter hidden in her desk. This discovery sets her on a gentle scavenger hunt around the school, introducing her to forgotten corners and new people.
Through these letters, So-ri is slowly guided by their unseen author, often linked to Jung Ho-yeon (Min Seung-woo). She also forms a quiet but warm friendship with classmate Nam Doh-hyeong (Kim Min-ju), adding to the film’s tender exploration of kindness and connection.
What begins as a simple treasure hunt deepens into an emotional journey as So-ri and her friend try to understand the mystery behind the letters — and why Jung Ho-yeon left school. The animation is soft, calming, and expressive, closely mirroring the manhwa’s original artwork. It may remind viewers of styles seen in MAPPA or Studio Ghibli productions.
While the themes echo the emotional tone and flow of ‘Your Name’ (2016), the plot differs: So-ri knows who is writing the letters but chooses not to seek him out beyond their written exchanges, letting the clues slowly reveal Jung Ho-yeon’s story.
Overall, ‘Your Letter’ is a reflective, gentle animated drama that resonates with anyone who has felt unseen or misunderstood, showing how small acts of compassion can deeply change a life.
