The 82nd Venice International Film Festival's institutional sector invited film 'No Other Choice' (provided/distributed by CJ ENM | Directed by Park Chan-wook | Produced by Moho Film/CJ ENM Studios) stars Son Ye-jin as 'Miri', the wife of 'Mansu', who grows stronger in times of crisis.

'No Other Choice' tells the story of 'Mansu' (Lee Byung-hun), an office worker who felt satisfied enough with life that he thought he had 'achieved it all', but after suddenly being fired, he prepares for his own war towards re-employment to protect his wife and two children, and maintain the home he worked hard to acquire. Son Ye-jin, known for her wide range of characters in prominent Korean melodramas such as 'The Classic', 'A Moment to Remember', 'The Last Empress', 'Pirates: Goblin Raid', and 'The Drug King', returns to the screen as 'Miri' in 'No Other Choice' after 7 years, having captivated a global audience with her role as CEO 'Yoon Se-ri' in 'Crash Landing on You'.

'Miri', who comforts rather than scolds her husband 'Mansu' during his unemployment and keeps the family grounded, is a rational character who does not easily waver in any situation. Son Ye-jin skillfully portrays 'Miri', who jumps into the front lines of living while giving up her hobbies due to sudden financial difficulties, and encourages her family members with a positive attitude. This time, partnering for the first time with Lee Byung-hun, she will showcase realistic couple acting that adds rich enjoyment to the film.

"'Miri' has an optimistic character and never loses her smile. I imagined how 'Miri' would act in such a situation while performing," Son Ye-jin conveyed, indicating that she plans to showcase a commanding presence through 'No Other Choice'. Director Park Chan-wook remarked, "Son Ye-jin is a professional actress who knows how to express exactly what is needed."
