Son Ye Jin recalls Park Chan Wook\u2019s blunt reaction on No Other Choice set.<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

Son Ye Jin is no stranger to challenging roles, but even she wasn\u2019t prepared for director Park Chan Wook\u2019s famously high standards. The Crash Landing on You star, who headlines his upcoming film No Other Choice, recently revealed that the celebrated filmmaker left her stunned with a surprisingly blunt comment during a scene that required her to dance.<\/p>\n

Speaking at a production briefing in Yongsan, Seoul, on August 19, Son Ye Jin admitted that despite three months of intense practice, her performance didn\u2019t impress the Oldboy director. \u201cThe director told me, \u2018I thought you\u2019d be better since you said you practised so much,\u2019” she recalled. \u201cInside, I was like, \u2018How could he say that to me?\u2019 I had practised for nearly three months.”<\/p>\n

Park Chan Wook\u2019s Brutal Honesty<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to Son Ye Jin, Park Chan Wook didn\u2019t hold back his reaction, further remarking that her months of effort didn\u2019t seem to show in the final result. The actress admitted that the comment took her by surprise, highlighting just how demanding the acclaimed director can be with his cast, regardless of their experience or stature.<\/p>\n

The dance sequence in question was ultimately cut from the production, but the moment underscored the intense environment on set and Park\u2019s determination to bring out nothing short of perfection from his actors. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t really show,” the director reportedly told her, leaving the actress both shocked and amused in retrospect.<\/p>\n

A Big-Screen Return for Son Ye Jin<\/strong><\/p>\n

No Other Choice marks Son Ye Jin\u2019s much-awaited return to cinema following her marriage to fellow actor Hyun Bin and the birth of their son in 2022. The film also stars Park Hee Soon, Lee Byung Hun, Lee Sung Min, Yeom Hye Ran, and Cha Seung Won, with the entire ensemble joining Park and Son at the press event.<\/p>\n

While the actress laughed off the memory during the briefing, the incident is a reminder of Park Chan Wook\u2019s uncompromising standards\u2014something that has earned him international acclaim. Known for masterpieces like Oldboy and The Handmaiden, Park continues to challenge his actors, pushing them beyond their limits to achieve the vision he imagines.<\/p>\n

No Other Choice is set to have its world premiere at the Venice International Film Festival on August 29, 2025, and anticipation is already sky-high. For Son Ye Jin, the project is more than just a comeback\u2014it\u2019s another test of resilience under one of Korea\u2019s most exacting filmmakers.<\/p>\n
