First US release of the most celebrated romantic drama of the Korean Wave!
Kang-kae’s a gangster, but he’s just too nice to be all that successful at it. When his boss commits a murder, it’s Kang-kae who is picked to take the fall for the crime. Failan is a young girl who comes to Korea following the death of her parents, only to find that the aunt she was supposed to stay with has left the country. She wants a job, but needs an extended residence permit. What starts as a marriage of convenience becomes an unforgettable story of connection, longing, and distance. Starring Choi Min-sik (Old Boy, Lady Vengeance) and Cecilia Cheung (One Nite in Mongkok, King of Comedy), Failan was the recipient of several critic’s and international film festival awards.
