Movie #104: Daisy













The Story: "Daisy" is a story about the inevitable showdown between a detective and a killer who fall in love with the same woman.

What I Thought:

  • good movie
  • really wasn't as bad as some people said it was
  • liked the little details; witty, but not hard to get
  • loved how the meaning of daisies was weaved into the story
  • really sweet subplot
  • great ost, esp. the themesong - fits perfectly
  • nice cast
  • spectacular visuals; gives a romantic yet gloomy feeling
  • beautiful landscape
  • had a very similiar "feel" to it; you'd know what I mean if you watched Infernal Affairs and Windstruck

Note of Criticism:

  • Jeon Ji Hyun didn't really "shine" like I thought she would
  • pretty cliche
  • a tad slow
  • few "eh..." moments here and there
  • don't know if this is bad or good, but I didn't feel like JJH actually loved anyone. It's hard to explain. It's like she fell in love with the "person" that brought her the daisies, but not the actual person.
  • love story could've been stronger

Memorable Quotes:

  • "l built a bridge, then you gave me a painting. And l started sending daisies. But the bridge l built became a bridge between you and him."
