Story :
Hye-young is an artist
who makes her living by sketching portraits of people for 30 euros per portrait.
Park Yi is a professional
hit man who sees Hye-young painting in the high mountains and instantly falls
in love with her.One day, while Hye-young is trying to cross a small channel
connected by a narrow log, she falls down and loses her art bag, which contains
all her painting equipment. Park Yi, who had been watching her from a distance,
immediately runs to her rescue; but by the time he she was gone. He finds the
bag she lost and gets the log replaced with a bridge. The next time she comes
to paint, Hye-young is taken by surprise at the sight of the new bridge.
Though, initially, she thinks the bridge is a coincidence, she is moved when
she finds her lost bag hung in the middle of the bridge. She completes her
painting of the mountains and leaves it in place of her bag as a gesture of
thanks for the person who had built the bridge for her. From that day on, she
starts receiving daisy flowers daily. As the days pass, she just starts to love
the person who is sending the flowers and develops a soft spot towards the
person. On the other hand, Park Yi is afraid she might be hurt if he gets close
to her, because of his profession. He just maintains a distance from her.
Interpol detective Jeong Woo is working on a case involving a drug ring. One day, on
his way to track the activities of the drug dealers, he encounters Hye-young
and her portrait stand. He asks her for his portrait as he surveys the crowd
for suspicious activity; this continues for a few more days until one day the
drug dealers come to know his hideout.
In
the meantime, Hye-young starts to believe that Jeong Woo is the one sending her
daisy flowers and instantly falls in love with him. Jeong Woo also hides the
fact for fear of blowing his cover.

forget him.
After
a year, Jeong Woo comes back to the Netherlands and surprisingly shows up on
Hye-young's doorsteps. He apologises for the entire episode and leaves her in
tears. Meanwhile, Jeong Woo's boss, who wants to solve the case behind this
whole episode, tells Jeong Woo to catch the guy who shot the gangsters. Further
investigation reveals Park Yi's identity as professional hit man, and they set
a trap.
Jeong

identity and refuses to kill him, Jeong Woo is shot by another assassin
belonging to Park Yi's group.)

is. Hye-young holds Park Yi at gunpoint, but fails to pull the trigger and

A series of events leads Hye-young to realise that Park Yi was the one sending
her the daisies. Park Yi, who is all set to assassinate Jeong Woo's boss, is
taken by surprise when Hye-young shows up asking him to stop. The assassin
responsible for Jeong Woo's death shoots at Park Yi, but the bullet is
intercepted by Hye-young, who sees the reflection of the car that the assassin
is in on a building opposite, and she dies
Park Yi takes his revenge by killing his entire gang. He later stumbles
out of the building and limps down the street.
Director narrates the story In
such a nice way that we are able to catch it so easily. Same story is been said
with life of three different people. Any way I love this movie a lot hope you
too.
