"Failan" has very little going for it other than the good looks of the cast. The story (bad boy learns to appreciate life and love) is trite, the Failan character has no depth and while the hoodlum played by Min-sik Choi is a little more interesting, his transformation was ultimately unconvincing. The movie is a real drag, and instead of submitting myself to its shallow sentimentality, I spent the second half checking my watch to see when it would be over.
