[HanCinema's News] Ok Ja-yeon Confirmed for "Archaeology of Love"

On June 30th Chungchun Entertainment confirmed that Ok Ja-yeon, an actress represented by the agency, will appear in the film "Archaeology of Love" that is being produced by Mere Cinema. "Archaeology of Love" has been described as Archaeologist Yeong-sil and In-sik go from strangers to lovers eight hours after they meet. Won over by hyperbolic declarations of love, Yeong-sil finds herself bound to In-sik even after their eventual breakup. As she attempts to recover the ground beneath her feet in her personal and professional life, the appearance of Udo spurs Yeong-sil's tentative reach for a new love but also dredges up past traumas.. A statement from Chungchun Entertainment appeared to suggest that the reference to archaeology was metaphorical, stating the project would deal with relationships, succor, emotions, and choices.

Lee Wan-min will direct the film. Her last directing project was the independent film "Jamsil" which saw release back in 2018. Ok Ja-yeon had only just completed the popular television drama "MINE" where she played the second lead. The movie will be financed with supports from the Korean Film Commission and a local venture on Seongnam, and has been confirmed to be an independent project. Shooting will begin in July.
