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

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.

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
