The film No Other Choice is offering richness with special appearances by actors Yoo Yeon-seok and Kim Hae-sook.
The recently released film No Other Choice (director Park Chan-wook, presented/distributed by CJ ENM, produced by Moho Film/CJ ENM Studios) is captivating audiences with a progression that moves between tension and humor and the unique synergy of its actors. Among them, special appearances by Yoo Yeon-seok and Kim Hae-sook add to its charms.
No Other Choice tells the story of office worker Mansu (Lee Byung-hun), whose life had been so satisfying that he felt "it was all achieved," but who is abruptly fired and prepares his own war toward reemployment to protect his wife and two children and to keep the house he struggled to buy. In particular, the film is attracting film fans' attention as a new work by director Park Chan-wook.
To that end, Yoo Yeon-seok, who left a strong impression playing the teenage version of Lee Woo-jin, portrayed by Yoo Ji-tae in Oldboy, reunited with director Park Chan-wook after 22 years through No Other Choice. Yoo Yeon-seok makes a special appearance as dentist Oh Jin-ho, who works at the clinic where Miri (Son Ye-jin) is employed, provoking Mansu's jealousy and adding a different kind of fun and tension to the film.
And Kim Hae-sook makes a surprise appearance as the rooftop room owner who speaks to Mansu at the moment he holds a chili pepper plant on the roof and makes a certain resolution, capturing the audience's attention. Kim Hae-sook previously collaborated with director Park Chan-wook as Mrs. Ra, an overprotective mother in Thirst, and as Mrs. Sasaki, the housekeeper managing the mansion in The Handmaiden, so her special appearance in No Other Choice has drawn audience interest.
With a solid lineup of seasoned actors filling the screen like this, No Other Choice is bringing a warm breeze to theaters fueled by overwhelmingly positive audience reviews. The meeting of reliable actors, dramatic development, beautiful mise-en-scène, solid direction, and Park Chan-wook's new film No Other Choice, which adds black comedy, is now showing widely in theaters nationwide.<
