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 Asada Jiro'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, 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, Old Boy), 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 Daejong Film Awards, a well-deserved honor for a filmmaker who has crafted such a masterfully-told, emotionally touching romance.

This edition includes commentary, interviews with cast and crew, making of, press conference, poster shoot, music video, trailers and other special features.

SYNOPSIS
“뒷골목을 방황하고, 모두에게 호구라 불렸던. 변변찮은 3류 양아치 이강재.
그러나 그만을 기다리고, 바라보며, 사랑한 여자가 있었다...

세상은 날 삼류라 하고, 이 여자는 날 사랑이라 한다
인천에서 3류 양아치로 전전하던 강재(최민식 분). 불법 테입을 유통시키다가 걸려 열흘 간의 구류를 살다 돌아올 만큼 보잘 것 없는 삼류건달이다. 한창 때 같이 구르던 친구 용식은 어느새 조직을 거느리고, 별볼일 없이 거추장스럽기만 한 친구 강재에게 나이트 삐끼나 서라고 한다.
그래도 고향에 배 한 척 사 가지고 돌아갈 소박하고 부질없는 꿈을 꾸는 강재. 오락실을 방황하며 인형뽑기 오락에만 열중하는 것이 그의 일과. 어느날 용식이 술을 청하던 날 밤, 그는 엄청난 사건에 휘말려 들게 되는데. 자신의 꿈인 배 한 척과 남겨진 인생의 전부를 맞바꿔야 하는 강재. 그런 그에게 '파이란'(장백지 분)이라는 이름을 가진 중국 여인으로부터 한 통의 편지가 배달되는데...
"강재씨… 고맙습니다.
강재씨 덕분에 한국에서 계속 일을 할 수 있습니다.
여기 사람들 모두 친절합니다.
그치만 가장 친절한 건 당신입니다.
왜냐하면 나와 결혼해 주셨으니까요…”

결혼… 아내… 파이란? 인간 이강재에게도 아내가 있었다...

Don't miss this lovely film! Customer Review Rated Bad 9 - 9 out of 10
"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 Customer Review Rated Bad 9 - 9 out of 10
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 Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
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

VERRY GOOD SAD ENDING DRAMA MOVIE,Deeply touching Customer Review Rated Bad 9 - 9 out of 10
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
