In 'No Other Choice', actress Yeom Hye-ran showcases an unprecedented side of herself.
On the 12th, the production team of the movie 'No Other Choice' (director Park Chan-wook, provided/distributed by CJ ENM, produced by Moho Film and CJ ENM Studios) announced that Yeom Hye-ran will play the role of Ara, the wife of Beom-mo (Lee Sung-min) and a person possessing rich emotions.
'No Other Choice' tells the story of a company employee, Mansoo (Lee Byung-hun), who felt that life was satisfying enough to consider it 'all accomplished,' but after suddenly being fired, he prepares for his own war toward re-employment to protect his wife and two children and the home he struggled to buy. Actress Yeom Hye-ran, who has received the Baeksang Arts Awards for Best Supporting Actress in the television sector for two consecutive years for her authentic performances in the Netflix series 'When Life Gives You Tangerines' and 'Mask Girl', and who continues her active acting journey in dramas like 'When Camellia Blooms' and films like 'Citizen Deok-hee', is predicted to make a shining acting transformation as the character Ara in 'No Other Choice' with her unique vibrant expressiveness.
Despite repeated failures in auditions, Ara does not lose her confidence and romance; she is a person possessing rich emotions with an artistic temperament. Yeom Hye-ran expressed the complex emotions of Ara, who feels disappointed with the diminishing Beom-mo (Lee Sung-min) after losing her job while also longing for her husband's passionate side that she loved once. This adds special enjoyment to the play by completing the realistic couple dynamic between Beom-mo, who has become lethargic after a long job search, and Ara, who oscillates between tenderness and boredom.
Regarding her role as Ara, Yeom Hye-ran said, "It is a new character that I have never played before." Through 'No Other Choice', she raises curiosity by hinting at a unique transformation. Furthermore, director Park Chan-wook shared, "I had confidence in actress Yeom Hye-ran from the beginning. She delivers her performance very engagingly. I guarantee that the enjoyment of watching the couple Beom-mo and Ara will be immense," which indicates that Yeom Hye-ran is expected to solidify her status as a leading actress through the character she completed with her delicate expressiveness.
The upcoming film 'No Other Choice', featuring a meeting of trustworthy actors like Lee Byung-hun, Son Ye-jin, Park Hee-soon, Lee Sung-min, Yeom Hye-ran, and Cha Seung-won, with its dramatic development, beautiful mise-en-scène, solid directing, and even elements of black comedy, is set to be released in September.
