Take the writer from My Sassy Girl and the director from Infernal Affairs, mix it up with three of Korea's finest actors, film on location in Holland and the result is unfortunately not the work of art that I was anticipating....Oh well at least the cinematography was lush, showing Amsterdam's more scenic side.******************************************************** Spoilers below ********************************************************************Our hero is the hit-man always dressed in black and who nails bad-boys for a living. In between off-ing punks, he relaxes by appreciating nature, listening to classical music and people watching. After becoming enamoured by our heroine, he subsequently woos her from afar by building her bridges and sending her flowers (without a card).Our villain is the nasty cop, dressed in a dull grey suit, who moves in on our hero's girl and claims credit for the flowers, bridge, anything he can get away with!The girl is almost eye candy, and hardly speaks throughout the whole film.************************************************************* ***************************************************** *********************Positives - Cinematography, some melodrama, some actionNegatives - Cliché, waste of acting talentOverall - Letdown

I saw the Korean version of Daisy first. It came across as a simple love story that flowed nicely from start to finish. I saw it 3 times as I waited for my copy of the director's cut to arrive.Then I got the DC and watched it. Wow! I think this is the first REAL director's cut I've ever seen. Amazing how detailed the editing is in both versions! The DC is laid out like a hardcore thriller, with the love story in the background. It moves at a slower pace than the Korean version.The variations between both versions are so drastic, it seems like two totally different movies. I thought I would be worn out watching the movie again, toughing it out just to look for the added scenes. That wasn't the case. It really felt like I was watching a whole new movie.While the DC is 20 minutes longer than the Korean version, you'll be hard-pressed to pinpoint where or what has been changed. 2 seconds chopped off here. A second added there. An entire scene added here. Another erased there. In both versions, scenes have been added, omitted or chopped up and reordered. In some scenes, entire lines of dialogue were replaced or reordered - while the scene itself was untouched. Even simple sound effects were added/omitted from each version - having a major impact on the mood of the film, and sometimes even changing the outcome of a scene. What comes across as a tender moment in the Korean version is a sad, somber one in the DC. The endings of both versions leave room for interpretation. As far as I can tell, both versions end a LOT different, and were intended that way.I'm assuming most people will be acquiring the director's cut of the film, and will find the movie pretty decent, but a little long and boring. If that's the case, look for the Korean version. Same movie, but different feel. I think there's a deluxe 3-DVD version that contains both cuts of the film - not sure.The versions compliment each other so well that as a pair, I'll watch Daisy more often than I do any of my other favorite Korean movies. Alone, I'd say the Korean version is a nice love story that I'd watch once in awhile. The director's cut, I'll watch maybe once or twice, then never again, as I find the pacing dull. But they just go so well together! For what I consider the best experience, I'd say watch the Korean version first. Then watch the director's cut to help fill in the gaps of the story that you were curious about.The editing is the real star of the film.

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.

No matter I love you or not, I use my life to proof the long time waiting. In the last moment, my life just likes the daisy blooming in the picture. This is a typical Asian movie, which combines the element of the South Korean's tragedy and the element of china's action movie. It gives you a feeling from the deep heart. May be you are a litter puzzled about the detail, however, use your heart, you can experience something different.The views and pictures in this film are so beautiful. It's a traveling for your eyes. If you like classic music, you also can be satisfaction by the movie. Yes, although there are some raw skills in this film, they didn't affect it become a good and moving movie.Using your heart, your eyes and your hearing to feel the different kind of love coming from the other side of the world.
