basically unless i made a mistake out of every film listed as a drama film produced in 2002, the only movie that fits all the questions is 'Better Luck Tomorrow', seen here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Better_Luck_Tomorrow
im doubting its that just because of the obscurity. i think most likely its a film that is known as a drama/something else or something like that.
