Lee Chang-Dong sets Return with Netflix’s ‘Possible Love’
The acclaimed Korean Helmer Lee Chang-Dong returns to functions with “possible love” (working title), a relationship drama that will bend on Netflix. The project marks his first feature film ‘Burning’ since 2018, although he directed the short film ‘Heartbeat’ in 2022.
The story focuses on two pairs whose enormous different lifestyles create unexpected intersections, leading to disruptions in their apparently stable routines.
The project brings together a selection of familiar faces from the earlier work of the director. In the center of the cast is Jeon Do-Yeon, who previously collaborated with Lee on ‘Secret Sunshine’, a performance that earned her the best actress prize in Cannes in 2007. She portrays Mi-k, with Sul Kyung-Guu Cast as her husband Ho-seok. The link represents the fourth collaboration of the duo, which previously had a woman “,” Birthday “and” Kill Boksoon “together in” I Wish I.
Sul Kyung-Gu also has history at Lee, who has worked with the filmmaker on both “Peppermint Candy” and “Oasis.” Completion of the central quartet are as in-sung as Sang-Woo and Cho Yeo-Jeong as Ye-Ji.
Behind the camera, Lee is working again with screenwriter Oh Jung-Mi, who wrote his international breakthrough ‘Branden’ together. Pine House Film returns as a producer after support from that 2018 function.
The filmmaker has built up his reputation on psychologically complex stories that investigate the Korean social dynamics through intimate character studies. His trackrecord includes remarkable festival recognition: Venice Eerde “Oasis” with the best director’s prize in 2002, while Cannes has repeatedly celebrated his work, “Secret Sunshine” granted Jeon, “Poetry” for the Scenario and “Burring” with the fipresci ‘prize’.
Production companies include Pinehouse Film Co., Ltd., anonymous content, LLC and Nowfilm Co., Ltd.
The recent work of Sul Kyung-Guu includes ‘a normal family’, ‘Idol’ and ‘De Hugeless’, while Jeon Do-Yeon played in action thriller ‘Kill Boksoon’ and ‘Revolver’. For example, in-sung appeared in the superhero series “Moving” and “Escape from Mogadishu”, known with Cho Yeo-Jeong for its roles in Oscar winner “Parasite” and “Hidden Face.”
