Lee Je-hoon is going to star in a new movie with veteran actress Na Moon Hee. He will play the role of an English tutor for an upcoming movie.
The movie's unofficial translation is "I Can Speak," Korea Herald reported. It will follow the lives of two people who were able to create a bond while learning the English language.
The 32-year-old actor will play Park Min-jae, a low-level civil servant employee who gets floods of complaints from an elderly woman named Na Ok-Boon, played by Na Moon Hee.
It would be fascinating to know how he ends up giving English lessons to Na Moon Hee's character, who is different from him in so many ways. They are different not just in age but also in their personality. Na Ok-Boon was described as the type of woman who feels she should be compensated whenever she is wronged.
