(Lotte Entertainment)

The 2004 Japanese film “Be With You” will be remade in Korea, starring So Ji-sub and Son Ye-jin.

The film’s distributor Lotte Entertainment said Thursday that the movie had started shooting.

Like the original Japanese version, the remake tells the story of a man who finds a woman without her memory and accepts her as a reincarnation of his dead wife.

So will play the role of Woo-jin, a kind father and husband who raises his son alone after the death of his wife. Son will play the role of Soo-ah, the woman with amnesia.

The film is set to be released next year.
