Daisy

Park Yi, a professional hit man, first spots Hye-young painting in the remote mountains and is immediately drawn to her. He observes her from a distance, careful not to scare her away. This initial encounter plants the seed for a complex, forbidden affection that will shape the events to come.

While crossing a narrow log, Hye-young slips and loses her art bag. Park Yi races to help and replaces the fragile log with a sturdy bridge to make crossing safer. He retrieves the bag and returns it to her, though she remains unaware of his identity at this moment.

The moment she finds her bag hung on the new bridge, Hye-young completes a painting of the surrounding mountains. She leaves the finished work in place of the bag as a quiet tribute to the mysterious benefactor. The gesture marks the start of an uneasy but growing connection between them.

From that day onward, daisies begin arriving at 4:15 PM every day, delivered with silent consistency. Hye-young is touched by the mystery sender’s thoughtfulness and starts looking forward to the daily ritual. The routine also draws her closer to the idea of love beyond what she understands.

Interpol detective Jeong Woo is chasing a drug ring when he encounters Hye-young at her portrait stand. He asks for a portrait while observing the crowd, and their paths repeatedly cross as the investigation progresses. He keeps his cover but can’t help noticing the growing magnetism between them.

Hye-young begins to believe that the floral messages come from Jeong Woo and she develops real feelings for him. He struggles to reveal his true mission and keeps a professional distance to protect her. The emotional tension tightens as danger lurks nearby.

A gangsters’ approach forces the trio into danger. Park Yi acts decisively, firing his sniper to deter the crooks and protect Jeong Woo. In the firefight, Jeong Woo is wounded in the shoulder and Hye-young takes a bullet to the neck while shielding him, losing her ability to speak.

Jeong Woo is sent back to Korea, leaving Hye-young alone and heartbroken. Park Yi feels compelled to stay close to her, even as he keeps his true identity and intentions hidden. The distance between them widens as time passes.

One year later, Jeong Woo returns to the Netherlands and apologizes on Hye-young’s doorstep, tears in her eyes. The emotional reunion is brief and underscored by how much has changed. The unresolved tension between love and danger remains.

Jeong Woo’s boss orders a trap to flush out Park Yi by targeting Jeong Woo himself. Investigators close in, and Park Yi’s identity as a professional hit man becomes a central element of the pursuit. The plan sets the stage for a brutal confrontation.

In a tense confrontation, Jeong Woo shows up with undercover cops around him and tries to speak with a friend. Park Yi arrives and reveals his true identity, but Jeong Woo is shot in the head by an assassin belonging to Park Yi’s outfit. The events solidify the tragic end of Jeong Woo and deepen the feud.

At Jeong Woo’s funeral, hints from the boss begin to point toward Park Yi. Hye-young realizes who has been sending the daisies and confronts him, only to be drugged by a spiked tea and rendered unconscious. The truth drives the final arc toward vengeance.

After the revelations, Hye-young understands that Park Yi was the daisies sender. She confronts him and pleads for him to stop, but a hidden assassin shoots at Park Yi. Hye-young shields him with her body, taking the fatal bullet and dying.

Park Yi exacts revenge by wiping out his gang and faces President Cho in a Mexican standoff. The two exchange gunfire until Park Yi limps out of the building, wounded but alive. The brutal showdown marks his solitary culmination of the violence that defined his life.

In the epilogue, Park Yi, Jeong Woo, and Hye-young stand together in a crowd under an overhang, waiting for the rain to stop. They catch sight of each other and share a quiet, grateful smile for the moment of connection they never truly had. The scene offers a bittersweet sense of peace amid the aftermath.
