When someone told me this was the type of melodrama that Asian films are known for I had to agree. A movie where an assassin/criminal falls in love with an artist, and sends her flowers every morning. Then the cop who has been hunting him also starts to fall in love with her. Yeah, that sounds like just the right kind of melodrama! Within 10 minutes there was this moment where I realized this wasn't just melodrama fun. For the rest of the movie I was hunkered down biting my lip. Totally enthralled! Daisy affected me. This movie is classy and very moving. It takes a rare movie to make me think that the movie opened beautifully. That the story and vision behind the script is majestic. The acting superb. That every plot twist was some kind of heart wrenching . . . thing. By the time those credits rolled my mind simply went blank. All I could thing was "holy *beep*!". The acting in Daisy is impressive and many times I was torn between the two leading men. I knew who I wanted to win the fair maidens hand, but it was so hard at times when both of the actors vying for her so emotionally. Jun Ji Hyun especially surprised me. Up until this point I had only seen her as a comedic actress. Now I'm a fan, this woman can truly act. Daisy is a title that despite all the positive feedback viewers--well maybe just me--can't really take seriously. This makes my list that any drama newbie, or veteran, should watch. Everything about this movie is top shelf! One of the best films I have ever seen for tragic romances. If I think about it I can't even think of any other tragic romances that can top this one. At the end I felt like bawling. Well done. Well. Done.
