The psychological thriller film traces an unsolved serial murder case that is reopened when a corpse floats to the surface of the Han River with the melting of ice.
Lee debuted to critical acclaim in 2003 with “The Uninvited,” starring Park Shin-yang and Jun Ji-hyun.
The film is slated for release in March.
