YesAsia Editorial Description
Superstars Cecilia Cheung and Choi Min Sik turn in fantastic performances in 2001's Failan, a touching romance with a curious twist. Filmmaker Song Hae Sung, director of Calla and Rikidozan adapts Jiro Asada's novel to the big screen, telling the story of a star-crossed married couple who have never actually met face to face. One half of the story centers on the beautiful Failan (Cecilia Cheung, from One Nite in Mongkok) who immigrates to Korea to seek out her only living next of kin after the death of her parents. However, once Failan arrives there, she discovers the disappointing truth - her relatives have since moved to Canada. Hoping to stay in Korea, the young immigrant pays for an arranged paper marriage through a matchmaking service in order to secure a work permit. The other half of the story focuses on Failan's legal spouse: Lee Kang Jae (Choi Min Sik, from Old Boy and Crying Fist, an aging, penny ante thug living a pointless existence, wishing for nothing more than to return to his beloved hometown, yet finding himself trapped in the dead end world of crime and grime.
With nothing more than a photograph of Kang Jae to go on, Failan often finds herself dreaming of her husband, even going so far to write him letters about how she wishes to see him. Of course, Failan lacks the courage to mail those letters at first. On Kang Jae's side of things, his life comes to a dramatic turning point whenever his boss asks him to take the rap on a murder charge, a crime that carries the penalty of a lengthy stay in jail. While that possibility isn't very appealing, neither is the alternative since displeasing Kang Jae's powerful boss could have fatal results. Amidst all this darkness, it seems that the single ray of hope in the man's life is Failan, the wife he's never had the chance to meet. For his work on Failan, Song Hae Sung picked up the Best Director Prize at the South Korean Grand Bell Awards, a well-deserved honor for a filmmaker who has crafted such a masterfully-told, emotionally touching romance.

삼류 인생에게 찾아온 운명같은 사랑
세상은 날 삼류라 하고, 이 여자는 날 사랑이라 한다.
동네 오락실 한 구석, 담배하나 꼬나물고 괜한 공갈만 일삼는 사내. 뒷골목 동기인 친구는 어엿한 조직의 보스가 돼있지만 그에게 떨어진 건 작은 비디오가게 하나 뿐.
덕지덕지 달린 눈꼽에 벌겋게 충혈된 눈. 그런 그의 눈이 반짝 빛을 발하는 건 정신없이 돌아가는 오락기 앞에서 뿐이다. 그래서 그는 그냥 건달도 아닌 삼류건달이다. 어느 날, 우연찮은 사건에 휘말려 조직의 보스와 인생을 건 계약을 하게 되는 강재.
꿈에 그리던 금의환향을 위해 그는 어려운 결심을 하게 되는데, 그런 그에게 영문 모를 한 통의 편지가 날아든다.
" 강재씨... 고맙습니다. 강재씨 덕분에 한국에서 계속 일을 할 수 있습니다. 여기 사람들 모두 친절합니다. 그치만 가장 친절한 건 당신입니다. 나와 결혼해 주셨으니까요..."
결혼... 아내... 파이란...? 인간 이강재에게도 아내가 있었다. 돈 몇 푼에 위장결혼을 해 준 기억이 떠오르는 강재. 한 장의 편지에서 전해지는 낯모를 따스함은 강재를 낯선 인연의 자락과 마주하게 된다.

Don't miss this lovely film!
|
"Failan" astonishes by delivering a powerful romance in which the two romantic leads never actually meet. How is that possible? You will just have to watch it to see. "Failan" is a movie about paths not taken in one's life and the sorrow that follows upon the realization of what one has missed by not taking those paths. We all have had such experiences and, consequently, this film has a universal message. Choi Min Sik and Cecilia Cheung both will touch your heart with their honest performances. But the real star here is director Song Hae Sung, who masterfully solves the puzzle of how to tell this story in such a moving manner. I have downgraded this version of the film slightly for presenting the movie in fullscreen format. Particularly in the early scenes, it is annoying to see people chopped off by the edge of the screen. Widescreen format would have served the film better. Don't be deterred by this minor failing; "Failan" is too good to miss. I recommend it very, very highly. |

One of a kind
|
This is a real full drama. Full of action, love, hatred and it has a heart. I am not surprise that this turned out pretty well as Choi Min Sik is a real good actor. Cecilia Cheung complimented it with her flawless acting as a chinese girl married to a korean only to have proper papers. The story is really touched your heart. You'll like until the end. A movie you should not miss. |

korean masterpiece
|
failan is the most moving movie i have ever saw,and the sadest korean drama ever,i'm not lying when i say that "failan" is a masterpiece,if you don't cry at the end of this movie it means that your heart is made of stone,there is one particular scene in the movie when the character played by choi min sik is reading a letter send by failan,he is sitting next to the sea in a harbour,my god this scene is really heartbreaking,the actors are perfect(choi min sik / cecilia cheung),the story is so touching and the director is really gifted,the ost is wonderful too. A MUST SEE KOREAN MOVIE |

FAILAN same as most Korean's drama movie without "HAPPY ENDING". But it not mean bad or negative one,it a fact of life, CHOI MIN SIK as a thug,stone-heart willing do any thing for living.Some how he had to quit and decided return home after reading all last letters never send to him from "his wife" (The Chinese girl from CHINA he married for Money,paid by some crooks.And she had to work hard to pay off her Debt "Marriage-connection fee"to them.)After she died deeply in side him some felling about LOVE growing back!!!was it too late??? .....And what happened to him after that ????? I do not want spoil your VERRY GOOD SAD MOVIE. HIGHLY RECOMMEND :DO NOT MISS ANY..ANY "CHOI MIN SIK" movies.CHI-HUA-SEON (Chi-hua-sun):If you like ARTs Water collor PaintingOLD BOY:Drama+Action+Meaningfull story ,HAPPY END:Love affair, SPRING TIME : Music Teacher with his students... You may search www.koreanfilm.org and Hancinema for more. |

VERRY GOOD SAD ENDING DRAMA MOVIE,Deeply touching
|
There alot misundertood when we think Cecilia Cheung was a main cast of story (she just supporting actress for Choi Min Sik)and make sure we not watched bootleg copy DVD that why she not on screen all the time as the "OLD KOREAN DIRTY LOOKING ACTOR"(I just repeat exactly some one opinion)It really made my laugh out loud when read this.Thank you some one gave me the best momment at that time,even Choi Min Sik was MY BEST favourite MOVIE-STAR. Another question about "mismatched" their ages:There a set up marriage,he get pay for it and she become his wife a legal immigrant worked hard making money to pay the debt for those thugs... MOST OUTSTANDING KOREAN'S FILM was CREATED by one of these DIRECTOR and "The old Korean dirty looking actor" Please check out some of his movie:CHI-HWA-SEON,SPRING TIME,OLD BOY,HAPPY END... Another question why at most end of movie he made a trip to that town :TO CONFIRMED and pick up his wife's body.SO there NO CONFUSE at all ,I hope CHOI MIN SIK from now on no more "Confuse"by these questions |
