Lee Byung-hun Praises 'No Other Choice' as a Blend of Comedy and Tragedy

Lee Byung-hun has expressed his admiration for the film 'No Other Choice,' describing it as a work that combines both sorrow and comedy.

On the 19th, a production briefing for the film 'No Other Choice' was held at CGV Yongsan I'Park Mall in Hangang-daero, Yongsan-gu, Seoul. The event was attended by director Park Chan-wook, along with cast members Lee Byung-hun, Son Ye-jin, Park Hee-soon, Lee Sung-min, Yum Hye-ran, and Cha Seung-won.

'No Other Choice' tells the story of Man-soo, played by Lee Byung-hun, a company employee who felt his life was complete until he was suddenly laid off. The film follows his journey as he prepares for his personal battle to protect his family and home, and to find new employment. Lee Byung-hun takes on the role of Yoo Man-soo, a job seeker who starts his own war after being abruptly fired from a paper company where he dedicated 25 years of service.

Lee Byung-hun shared, "After reading the script, I found it so entertaining that I wondered if it was really directed by him. The comedic points were intriguing," sparking curiosity. He continued, "It's not just funny; according to the director, it's both sad and humorous. Various emotions arise simultaneously, leading to amusing situations. It's not simply a comedy; it's an experience of feeling multiple emotions at once."

'No Other Choice' is set to be released in September.
