According to Soompi, Park Bo Young and Son Suk Ku are in talks to headline director Kang Hyung Chul's new film If I'm With You.
The pairing brings together two actors with different career trajectories. Park Bo Young built her profile on girl-next-door charm and emotional depth in paranormal thrillers and romantic dramas. Son Suk Ku has positioned himself as a brooding, intensity-driven leading man in prestige projects.
Director Kang Hyung Chul directed Hi-5, which became a sleeper hit. That track record suggests the script has substance beyond chemistry alone.
Both actors are at a career point where they select projects carefully. Park Bo Young has not rushed into her next major film role, and Son Suk Ku has been measured in his choices since his prestige successes. Their simultaneous talks suggest the material is strong.
"In talks" means nothing is finalized. Park Bo Young's agency acknowledged the reports but did not confirm, standard protocol when contracts are pending and schedules need alignment.
Korean film insiders are already speculating about release windows and whether this could be theatrical or a platform play. If the film materializes, it will compete in a crowded market of Korean releases seeking domestic box office and global streaming attention.
