It's called Daisy...

An action thriller written by Jae-young Kwak

Directed by Andrew Lau with: Jeon Ji Hyeon, Jung Woo-Sung, Lee Sung-Jae,Simon Yam, David Chiang, Min-sik Choi, Jang Hyuk

The flowers in "Daisy" as used as symbols for good and evil - white daisies for pure love, and black tulips for murder. It brings across the message that not everything that is beautiful is good, but what is meant for good, when done wrongly or at the wrong time, could lead to great disaster.

"Daisy" is unmistakably a sorrowful film, one that tells the tale of a love triangle that doesn't really promise a happily-ever-after ending. It is a romantic movie that also has other non-sentimental things, like crime, thrills and action, making this quite an un-ordinary romance tale.

Synopsis

It is autumn in Amsterdam. A man with a cold soul who smells of gun powder and a man as warm as the sunshine meet a very special woman. The woman is Hye-young (starring Jeon Ji-hyun), a young Korean artist who paints portraits in the city square, while dreaming of one day holding a solo exhibition of her works. She is a stranger in this city, and Hye-young’s only source of strength is the memory of her first love.
Then she meets a new man - well, almost meets him, she never really sees his face but after giving him a drawing of a daisy, he responds by having a pot of daisies delivered to her door every day. Could this be the start of a new love for the lonely young artist? At the same time, however, a second man enters Hye-young’s life, a stranger who keeps coming to her, asking her to draw his portrait.

That man she has been drawing is Jung-woo (starring Lee Sung-jae), an international agent based in Amsterdam. He first approached Hye-young, while in the line of duty, but was immediately mesmerized by her charms and beauty. She quickly assumed that he was the one giving her daisies and begins to fall for him. Jung-woo knows that he is not the one in Hye-young’s heart, but he feels he must remain quiet about the truth or lose her love forever.

Park Yi (starring Jung Woo-sung, really cute!) is really the one giving her flowers, the man Hye-young has been waiting for. He is forced to watch painfully as Hye-young and Jung-woo nurtured their love, unable to interve
ne - being an assassin, Yi is forbidden to have emotions and weaknesses such as love.
Finally, destiny brings all of their paths together, when Yi gets his next assignment for assassination - and discovers it is Jung-woo.
