Korean actor Lee Sun-kyun and actress Kim Min-hee have been cast as the leads in an upcoming film, according to their respective agencies on Thursday.

Lee and Kim have signed onto Korean director Byun Young-joo's feature picture titled "Help," an adaptation of Japanese novelist Miyabe Miyuki's book "All She Was Worth," which is scheduled to crank in next month.

Lee will play the role of a police inspector who is asked by his relative to look into the disappearance of his fiancee, to be taken on by Kim. While on the search, Lee's character realizes how much the people around him have been caught up in a spending frenzy and are suffering from heavy debt.

Lee made his debut in 2001 through the 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" and "OKI'S MOVIE."

Kim made her small screen debut in season two of the teenage series "School" in 1999 and has since appeared in various dramas such as "Juliet's Man (SBS, 2000)," "Age of Innocence (SBS, 2000)" and "Love Marriage (KBS2, 2008)" and films "Hellcats (2008)" and "Actresses (2009)."
