The plot of the movie was that a woman fell in love with a man she saw on a train platform, but was too embarrassed to talk to him. She essentially became a Stalker with a Crush. One day, he fell off the train platform and was knocked unconscious (and later ends up in a coma). She called for an ambulance and went with him to the hospital. Since she had fantasized about marrying him, when a nurse told her he was going to live, she accidentally blurted out, "Good, now we can get married!"
Now the nurse thinks she's his fiancee, so she has to pretend she actually is in order to avoid having to admit that she was stalking him. Then the man's brother shows up, and doesn't believe that she's really his fiancee. So of course her snowball of lies keeps getting bigger.
Does anyone remember this? I'm sure I've got a few details wrong but this should be close enough for people to recognize it. Thanks.
