After completing a total of 85 filming sessions, Director Park said, “I think it’s been about 17 years since I started writing this movie script,” and “I’m deeply moved to finally finish filming the work I’ve wanted to make for a long time.” . He continued, “I’m glad it ended safely and as planned. “I will work hard on post-production to make a movie that gives satisfaction to those who participated,” he added.
‘I Can’t Help It’ tells the story of Yoo Man-soo, an office worker who lived a satisfactory life, who suddenly gets fired and begins his own fight to get re-employed in order to protect his wife and two children and keep the house he bought with difficulty. Lee Byung-hun plays the main character, Mansu. Mansu is a person who is struggling to find a new job after being fired from the paper company he had worked for for 25 years. Mansu’s wife ‘Miri’ was played by Son Ye-jin. Miri is a multi-talented and bright character who takes the lead in protecting her family after her husband loses his job.
Lee Byung-hun said, “I think I will remember for a long time the times we exchanged ideas with the director like old friends. “I think the movie will be enriched with new ideas through many conversations,” he said. He also said, “No matter what work I do, I want to see it as soon as possible, but my expectations are so high that I wonder if there will ever be a work that is as highly anticipated as this one.”
Son Ye-jin said, “I participated in this work as a fan of director Park Chan-wook and senior Lee Byung-hun, and as I watched the process, I felt every moment that a truly wonderful work would be created. “I have a great desire to show it to the audience quickly,” he said.
