On tonight's KBS 1TV movie talk show "Life Is a Movie," master director Park Chan-wook, who represents Korea's film industry, appears as a guest and dissects everything about the hit film No Other Choice.
In the broadcast, director Park Chan-wook reveals the production behind No Other Choice, casting behind-the-scenes, and the film's comic codes.
When Geoui-eopda said No Other Choice breaks the preconception that "Park Chan-wook's films must be heavy," Park Chan-wook said, "It's a very easy film, a very funny film, but after it ends you'll wonder what that laughter was."
In particular, director Park cited the couple's fight scene between Lee Byung-hun and Son Ye-jin as the funniest scene in this film. In connection with this, Lee Byung-hun called as soon as he read the script and asked about this scene, "Is it okay if this is funny?" and Park recalled the episode that he replied, "The funnier the better."
Also, "For about 20 years I was told to keep my promises. So I had no choice," he revealed the casting background for Lee Byung-hun, adding, "Son Ye-jin is an actor who expresses emotion with a single look and a single intonation," and "Lee Sung-min is an actor who performs with perfect rhythm," praising the actors without reservation.
Meanwhile, when he said, "Actor Yum Hye-ran, who showed an impressive acting transformation in No Other Choice, sent a text after filming that almost made me angry," the set reportedly turned into a sea of laughter, heightening curiosity about the broadcast.
All of the stories about K-movie master director Park Chan-wook's No Other Choice unfold on KBS 1TV's "Life Is a Movie" episode 27, which airs tonight (12th) at 9:30 p.m.<
