everything you have heard about this movie is true.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Daisy (deiji) is a great film. It has a mix of action, drama and romance. It is a movie that tells an awkward love triangle between a naive painter, a cop and an assassin. It touches themes about the difficulty of confessing one's love due to difficulty in situations. The love story was great due to the Koreans,who are well-known for their classic romantic films and the cops and criminal story was just as great due to the Chinese,who are well-known for making great action films. All and all the movie must be in Top 250 korean movies and has everything. I highly recommend it....

Like the summery suggests, this movie works like a slow poison. The pacing of the movie is really slow but that didn't stop me from liking it. After the end of the movie i sat down on my chair thinking about the movie for an hour. And after a week i decided to write the review of this movie. Well, i won't call it a review, these are my general thoughts regarding the movie. So, i warn you there will be minor spoilers. Daisy is a tragic love triangle between a cop, a painter and an assassin. Hye-young(ji-hyun jun) is a 25 years old painter living in Amsterdam, who looks after her grandfather's antique shop. One day she meets Jeong-woo(Lee sung-jae), an Interpol cop whose job is to put an end to the Asian mafia in Amsterdam, both fall in love with each other, but one day a gun fire happens in the middle of the street. Hye-young and jeong-woo both got hurt. In this tragic accident Hye-young looses her voice and Jeong-woo got shot in the arm and sent back to Korea. Enter park yi(Woo-sung Jung), an assassin by profession. He tries to steal the heart of Hye-young and also helps her to forget the sad past. After his relentless effort Hye-young accepts his love. Everything was working well for Park Yi but suddenly Hye-young finds Jeong woo standing at her doorsteps. Thus, we have our movie.The plot of the movie is really good and it had the potential to turn into a great romantic movie, the only thing matters is the Execution and that is the greatest problem i have with this movie. The screenplay of the movie is really slow. The first 50 minutes were really enjoyable. But after that this movie really drags on. There was no chemistry between JI-Hyun jun and Woo-sung jung. We don't feel the romance between those two. We see Hye-young as a mute girl fighting with her own feelings and park yi trying really hard to appease her but we don't get to see how he does that and director introduces the time gap of one year. And after one year the situation is slightly changed, Hye-young and park yi are now couples but we don't see how that happened. And it is replaced by some gangster and mafia plot. And then the whole thing is turned into a convoluted mess. But the last 15 minutes of the movie really worked for me and the ending was something i didn't expect at all. The ending of the movie was really tragic and completely turns the table.Performance wise, all three lead actors did a fine job. Woo-sung jung's role as an assassin is perfect, Sung-jae lee also did a good job but the performance of ji hyun- jun wasn't up to the mark. No offense, i liked her acting in My sassy girl and wind struck and even in this movie she did a fine job at first but after she loses her voice i lost interest in her character, but again i feel she did an OK job but the actress of her caliber could've done better. The movie is set in Amsterdam which is really weird because i haven't seen any Asian movie filmed outside the continent. Maybe they thought filming the movie in Amsterdam will give the movie a romantic feel to it and i guess it worked, at least for the most part.Daisy is a good romantic movie but it's no way comparable to other Korean romantic classics such as A moment to remember, my sassy girl and the classic. But the great plot, solid performance and a good climax made it a must watch for all Asian movie lovers and also for anyone who want to watch a good tragic romantic story. Sorry for my bad English.I Am a south Asian and English is not my forte but i tried really hard keep this review understandable to the general English speaking people.

Daisy is a great film. It has a mix of action, drama and romance. It is a movie that tells an awkward love triangle between a naive painter, a cop and an assassin. It touches themes about the difficulty of confessing one's love due to difficult situations. The movie is a collaboration of Chinese and Korean filmmakers. That is why the love story was great due to the Koreans,who are well-known for their classic romantic films and the cops and criminal story was just as great due to the Chinese,who are well-known for making great action films.The acting was superb in this film.Gianna Jun was spectacular as an actress despite of not having a speaking role for 3/4 of the film. She can convey emotions without words extremely well which definitely proves that she is an exceptional actress. The same can be said for both Korean actors Lee Seong-jae and Jung Woo-sung,who acted as the cop and assassin respectively. This film was made in Amsterdam which made the setting of the film was truly fabulous. The direction of Andrew Lau (Infernal Affairs) and the screenplay of Kwak Jae Young (My Sassy Girl,The Classic,Windstruck) were definitely extra-ordinary. Since this is the director's cut version, the film may be kinda of slow as the first one-third of the story is a narration from the perspective of the three major characters. But inspite of this, I still find the positive qualities of the film far too overwhelming as compared to this one flaw.A highly recommended film.This film defines what a great Asian film is all about.

The cast are good. The setup is interesting. However I cannot stop feeling that there is something missing in this movie. It lacks couple things that would make the audience believe in the story. The main problem, I believe, is the characters lack depth. The constant flashbacks waste a lot of time telling the same story three times. Therefore, although the movie is fairly long, there are not enough scenes for each character to develop and show us their personalities. The setting is also unbelievable as well. A bunch of Koreans in Netherland, especially one working as a cop and one working as an assassin, does this feel like a credible story? The movie is somewhat entertaining, the actors and actress did a good job, the cinematography is pleasing but I just feel disappointed that all these good effort did not add up to a good movie.
