NOTE: The Hong Kong Version of Daisy contains the 125 minute International Directors Cut of the film.
Andrew Lau, co-director of such Hong Kong box office hits as Infernal Affairs & Initial D, helms this beautifully crafted romantic thriller from Korea starring Jeon Ji Hyun, the mega-popular star of My Sassy Girl & Windstruck. Jeon stars as Hye Young, an innocent sidewalk artist living abroad in Amsterdam, with big dreams of someday headlining an exhibition in a real art gallery. In a romantic twist, she starts receiving a pot of daisies each day at 4:15 p.m. from a secret admirer. Oddly enough, the identity of the sender is none other than Park Yi (Jung Woo Sung, from Sad Movie & Musa), a ruthless assassin who works for a Chinese crime syndicate. It seems that while completing a mission, he found himself hiding in a house & began to notice a beautiful girl strolling by on a regular basis. The girl was, of course, Hye Young, & Park Yi quickly becomes smitten by her. A bit shy in the romance department, the hitman keeps his distance, sending his gift of flowers regularly, but anonymously.
As fate would have it, it isnt long before Hye Young crosses paths with Jeong Woo (Lee Seong Jae, from Holiday & Public Enemy), a topnotch Interpol agent, & mistakenly assumes that hes been her secret admirer all along. Through her innocent actions, Hye Young unknowingly tosses her two admirers into a deadly game of cat & mouse, which will not only have consequences for the men involved, but just might reveal some long buried secrets in Hye Youngs past as well. How will this eternal love triangle be resolved? With a screenplay co-written by My Sassy Girl director Kwak Jae Yong & featuring appearances by Cheon Ho Jin, David Chiang, Yu Soon Cheol & Dion Lam, Daisy is a complex, sometimes poignant story of pure love!
