Actor Lee Sun-kyun and actress Lim Soo-jung will star in a new movie where they will play a married couple.

A press release by promoter 1stLook on Tuesday said the two have been cast in the pic tentatively titled "Everything About My Wife."

The movie will revolve around husband Doo-hyun, to be played by Lee, who is so timid that he cannot even suggest divorce to his wife Jung-in, to be played by Lim, who may be perfect on an objective level but is the worst wife possible.

The project itself will be helmed by director Min Kyu-dong of movies "All For Love" (2005), "Antique" (2008) and "The Last Blossom" (2011).

"Wife" is set to crank in around late November and open in theaters during the first half of next year.

Lee made his debut in 2001 through musical "The Rocky Horror Show" and became a household name after starring in MBC's hit TV series "The 1st Shop of Coffee Prince" and "Pasta."

He has won various accolades after starring in the critically acclaimed film "Paju" (2009) and "OKI'S MOVIE" (2010).

Lim has appeared in numerous dramas and movies since her debut in 1998 including the hit TV series "I'm Sorry, I Love You" (KBS2, 2004) and films "A Tale of Two Sisters" (2003) and blockbuster fantasy flick "WOOCHI" (2009) opposite Korean actor Gang Dong-won.

She also starred in movie "Come Rain, Come Shine" with actor Hyun Bin last year which was screened at various international film festivals such as the 61st Berlin International Film Festival and 35th annual Hong Kong International Film Festival as well as being sold to Japan.
