Despite the music I'm sorry to say that the atrocity of plot and use of clichés in movies just don't work for me. The plot of Daisy is forgivable as long as you take it to be the tragic love story of a lonely young woman instead of anything of the thriller genre. The landscape's beautiful but with the making a display out of Monet and Van Gogh and sunflowers, it completes and entrenches the clichés of popular understandings of impressionist work - warm, fuzzy, comfortable calender backdrop type of pictures. Korean movies (comedies excluded) has never disappointed me in churning out clichés - dark, silent, emotional males; fair, pure-looking and totally victimised, equally silent and emotional females. In this one Jun Ji Hyun completely made it to be the Ultimate Silent and Emotional female by losing both her voice and lover. To be fair I do think she acted well though, and really made a pretty, stirring picture with the nice selection of music.
