‘Elegant Lies’ coming soon

‘Elegant Lies’

Director Lee Han’s new tearjerker “Elegant Lies” has gotten the release date - or at least a release month - of March, according to local media yesterday.

“Elegant Lies” is the story of a seemingly happy family that gets rocked by the suicide of the 14-year-old daughter.

The movie has drawn attention for featuring veteran actress Kim Hee-ae, who is starring in her first film role in 20 years.

It also features Yoo Ah-in in a supporting role, the actor who starred in Lee’s 2011 hit “Punch.” Yoo is said to be playing a suspicious yet humorous guy who lives next door.

“Punch” pulled in 5.3 million admissions, making it the fourth-biggest movie of 2011.

Lee is known for featuring in a series of tearjerkers over the years, including “Almost Love” (2006) and “Lover’s Concerto” (2002).
