Failan [2001]
After losing both her parents, Failan (Cecilia Cheung) emmigrates to
Korea to seek her only remaining relatives. Once she reaches Korea, she
finds out that her relatives have moved to Canada well over a year ago.
Desperate to stay and make a living in Korea, Failan is forced to have
an arranged marriage through a match-making agency. Kang Jae (Choi Min
Shik) is an old and outdated gangster who has no respect from his peers.
Short on money, Kang Jae decides to take on the arranged marriage.
Having nothing more than a picture of Kang Jae, Failan spends her days
dreaming and wishing that Kang Jae would come to visit her. Failan often
writes to Kang Jae in sorrow about how much she misses and thinks about
him, but never has the nerve to give the letters to Kang Jae. Things
take a turn when Kang Jae is asked by his boss to take the fall for a
murder in exchange for some money. The only hope in his worthless life
is the wife he never met.
