It's been almost 20 years since he first read the original novel and thought that he wanted to feel it in a movie. Of course, I haven't been hanging on to this one work so far, but I've been working constantly, and it finally came true. I just want to show it to you as soon as possible."
As for how I came to direct, "I've been reading this and that since I was a teenager, I've loved mystery novels. Among them, none of them wanted to make a movie this much. Most of the time, it's not that fun to solve the mystery genre when you solve the mystery of who is the criminal. On the other hand, there is nothing we can do about it' is a work that is fun and worth savoring no matter how many times you think about it. be well-equipped in a variety of psychological devices"It's a very lonely tragedy, and I saw the possibility of adding a new kind of absurd humor. This novel itself has that aspect, but I thought that if I made it into a movie, sadder and funnier humor could be revived", he explained.

in particular 'There is nothing we can do about itIt was the third meeting between director Park and Lee Byung-hun, which raised expectations. Lee Byung-hun said, `Maybe no one has waited as long as the director for this movie to be released, but I've also been looking forward to it while filming. I was so excited and nervous about every day that the release date was coming up because I had such high expectations for the movie."
Lee Byung-hun was fired overnight from a paper mill devoted to 25 years and played as a job seeker Mansu preparing for re-employment. As soon as he read the script, he asked the director 'Can I be funny?' I asked. After reading the scenario for the first time 'It's so much fun? There were so many funny points that I wondered if it was a work made by the director. I also asked if I had misinterpreted the script. The director also said that it's better if it's funny, but it's not just funny. I think I can tell you that it's a funny comic with various emotions." When asked how he felt about working with Son Ye-jin for the first time, Lee Byung-hun was surprised, saying, `Ye-jin went far beyond what I expected and acted more in detail.'

Son Ye-jin returned to the screen for the first time in seven years since the movie 'Negotiation', adding to her delight. He said he wanted to work with Director Park Chan-wook"Byungheon was cast first, and even if I exclude my character or many other things, I will regret it if I don't do this work."' was a big thought. It was a story of a very strong narrative, and even though I closed the book, I thought, 'Is this right?' but I think I should not do itI felt strongly that '."
In the work, she plays Miri, who gives comfort to her husband's unemployment rather than reprimand and protects the center of her family. Regarding the acting-focused part, Son Ye-jin said, "I think it was helpful because it was my first work after giving birth to a child. Even before giving birth to a child, I had played various roles, such as an older mother and a divorced woman, and I thought that what I had actually experienced would be incomparable to anything else. It was natural when I worked with my children, and I wanted to show a warm mother who wanted to take care of her family," he said.

While listening to Son Ye-jin mentioning the character's maternal love, Lee Byung-hun said "I wonder that it is different from what I saw in the field. The child who comes out as our daughter has a lot of questions. I kept answering questions, but I went into the shot without thinking a few times."But Son Ye-jin never answered the child's question. I said 'Ye-jin, please answer me if you ask me ' and 'Please do it by yourself. I have to be immersed in my emotions. But when I said this here, he trembled, 'That's what my heart was like at the time.'
In response, Son Ye-jin "The friend who came out as a daughter is so curious that she keeps asking us. Ask questions from rehearsal to shooting. I had a lot of lines and the director's emotional detailed directing. I had to do this, but I couldn't help it because I kept talking", he explained. However, soon, Lee Byung-hun also responded "I did the same" and colored the scene with a sea of laughter.

A large number of acting actors will also join to bring the work to life. Park Hee-soon has turned into a veteran in the industry who is in desperate need of re-employment, while Lee Sung-min has turned into a veteran in the industry. Yeom Hye-ran played Ara, Bummo's wife with rich sensibilities, and Cha Seung-won played the role of a powerful player in the industry, signaling a brilliant performance.
Park Hee-soon said, `I was elected as an elected actor,' `I lived as a movie star, but these days, I thought I would starve to death while waiting for a movie, so I participated with joy while trying to transform into an OTT professional actor.'
As for how I felt about working with director Park for the first time "When I heard that director Park Chan-wook's script came in, I already made up my mind to do it. The script was so fun, and there were a lot of comedy elements. The more dramatic the situation is reached, the greater the emotion of laughter, and it was an unusual work that Paysos also grew together"It was so unique and fun that the director said he wrote it. The director gave up the Cannes Film Festival this time and said, "Are you aiming for 10 million viewers?"
Finally, director Park expressed his position on the recently reported expulsion of the Writers Guild of America (WGA). He said "I have nothing more to say. I have nothing to add because my position has been reported a lot. There are no restrictions or restrictions on my activities as a writer.
Meanwhile 'Can't help it' was invited to the competition section of the 82nd Venice International Film Festival. It is the first time in 13 years that a Korean film has entered the competition section, and it is the first time in 20 years since the film 'Kind Geumja-si' directed by Park Chan-wook. In addition, he was named as an official guest film at the 50th Toronto Film Festival and the 63rd New York Film Festival, and was selected as the opening film of the 30th Busan International Film Festival.
