I love this movie!

There's a lot more interwoven into your simple plot of:
boy loves girl who leaves, other girl hides note.. later boy and girl reunite.

- Girl's best friend (Other girl / Girl #2) is obsessed with this boy and wants to keep them apart in the past

- Same girl does everything she can to keep them from rediscovering each other in the present

- Girl #2 has befriended boy's best friend (Boy #2) just to get closer to boy. Some friend!
- Boy #2 is going out with, and in love with Girl #2
- Girl #2 seduces boy and fails to mention she is his best friend's girlfriend
- Neither of the boys know Girl #2's connection to Girl #1, until the very end
- Boy is so obsessed with girl that he probably loses his job by not taking his trip to China
- Boy is so obsessed with girl that he dumps his fiancé to reconcile with her
