Actress Kim Yun-jin (Zion Entertainment)

Actress Kim Yun-jin is returning to the big screen in Korea for the first time in two years after her role in the 2014 historical drama “Ode to My Father.”

Directed by horror filmmaker Lim Dae-woong, the upcoming “House Above Time” will star Kim, K-pop boy band 2PM’s Ok Taec-yeon and actor Jo Jae-yun, who most recently appeared in romantic comedy “Mood of the Day” earlier this year.

“I chose this film not only because of the script, but also because it’s a new genre for me,” said Kim in a statement released by production company Peppermint & Company on Monday.

A mystery thriller, “House Above Time” captures unexplainable happenings that take place in a family home after a woman -- depicted by Kim -- returns to it 25 years after the death of her husband, played by Jo, and disappearance of her son, played by Ok.

Scheduled to go into production this month, “House Above Time” will open in local theaters early next year.
