"More Than Family" is the story of To-il, a college student who becomes pregnant. In anticipation of her wedding, she tries to seek out her absentee birth father, setting off the plot. Jang Hye-jin has been confirmed to play the role of To-il's mother. Choi Deok-moon and Lee Hae-young-I have also been confirmed in roles that are being deliberately kept ambiguous, since either could be To-il's father.
The movie will be the debut feature length film for Choi Ha-na-I, who graduated from the Korean National University for the Arts. "More Than Family" started filming on August 13th.
