Song Ye-jin returns to the big screen after 7 years in the film ”It Can't Be Helped”... A new face as a strong wife

Actor Song Ye-jin shows off a new side of herself in the role of a wife who becomes stronger the more difficult the situation becomes in the new film "Hopeless," directed by Park Chan-wook, which was invited to compete in the 82nd Venice International Film Festival.
The story revolves around Man-soo (played by Lee Byung-hun), an office worker who has had such a smooth life that he feels like he's "achieved everything," but is suddenly fired and leaves his wife Mi-ri (played by Song Ye-jin) and two children behind.
The story depicts what happens when a man fights to find a new job in order to protect the house he has worked so hard to get.
She has played various characters in TV series such as "Princess - The Last Princess of the Korean Empire", "Pirates", and "Secret of the Thorns", and has also appeared in TV series such as "The Age of Love" and "A Beautiful Woman Who Treats Me Often".
Song Ye-jin left a deep impression with her elegant emotional expression in "Sister." She captivated audiences around the world with her role as the capable CEO Yoon Se-ri in the TV series "Crash Landing on You."
She returns to the big screen for the first time in seven years as Miri. She is a rational woman who does not easily waver under any circumstances, comforting her husband Man-soo for losing his job and protecting her family.
With a delicate performance, she portrays Miri, who gives up her hobby due to sudden financial difficulties, tries to rebuild her life, and encourages her family with a positive attitude.
The couple will be shown together and add a lot of fun to the story. "Miri has an optimistic personality and always has a smile on her face. I acted while thinking about what I would have done if I were Miri in this situation," he said.
She is expected to show her presence in this work, taking control of the story. Director Park Chan-wook said, "Son Ye-ji is a professional actor who can accurately express what is needed."
Song Ye-Ji-in, who showed off her solid acting skills in "It Can't Be Helped," will leave a deep impression on the audience.
Director Park Chan-wook's new film "Hangin' Out," which features a unique direction and even a dark comedy, is scheduled to be released in theaters in South Korea in September.
