Marking his return to cinema after eight years, acclaimed director Lee Chang-dong presents Possible Love (WT), now in production with Netflix. This upcoming film follows the intertwined lives of two married couples leading completely opposite lives. As their worlds collide, fractures begin to appear in their daily existence. Powerhouse talents Jeon Do-yeon, Sul Kyung-gu, Zo In-sung, and Cho Yeo-jeong are set to star.

Award-winning actress Jeon Do-yeon (Kill Boksoon, Revolver) plays Mi-ok, with celebrated actor Sul Kyung-gu (A Normal Family, Kill Boksoon, Idol, The Merciless) as her husband, Ho-seok. The second couple is played by critically acclaimed actor Zo In-sung (Moving, Escape from Mogadishu) as Sang-woo and Cho Yeo-jeong (Parasite, Hidden Face) as Ye-ji, who was part of the Best Ensemble Cast at the Screen Actors Guild Awards for Parasite.

Possible Love (WT) brings together several longtime collaborators. Director Lee reunites with Jeon Do-yeon, who starred in his acclaimed film Secret Sunshine, for which she won Best Actress at the 60th Cannes Film Festival. This marks the fourth on-screen pairing of Sul Kyung-gu and Jeon, following I Wish I Had a Wife, Birthday, and Kill Boksoon, continuing a proven chemistry. Lee also reunites with Sul, with whom he previously worked on Peppermint Candy and Oasis. Possible Love (WT) is co-written by Oh Jung-mi, Lee's collaborator on Burning, and produced by Pinehouse Film, which also backed Burning.

Director Lee Chang-dong has established a distinctive cinematic voice with films such as Green Fish and Peppermint Candy, earning consistent acclaim from global audiences and critics alike. His work is known for its sharp portrayal of the complexities of Korean society, while illuminating universal human experiences through a deeply personal lens. Oasis won the Silver Lion for Best Direction at the 59th Venice Film Festival; Secret Sunshine earned the Best Actress Award at the 60th Cannes Film Festival; and Poetry received the Best Screenplay Award at the 63rd Cannes Film Festival. Burning was selected to compete at the 71st Cannes Film Festival and won the International Critics' Prize, further cementing his reputation as a world-class storyteller.

Possible Love (WT) is set to explore themes of life, conflict, and human experience through the detailed changes the characters face. Stay tuned for more updates, only on Netflix.
