The protagonist is Man-soo, an ordinary family man who lives happily with his wife and two children, until he is fired from the paper company where he has worked for over 25 years. Determined to continue supporting his family, he decides to find stable employment within three months. However, he only manages to jump from one job to another without settling down.
When Man-soo applies for an open position at the rival company he worked for, the manager laughs at him. Convinced that he is the best candidate for the position they are looking to fill, he decides to take a radical option: eliminate all his competition...
In addition to Lee, the cast of 'No Other Choice' includes Son Ye-jin, Park Hee-soon, Lee Sung-min, Yeon Hye-ran, Cha Seung-woon, and Yoo Yeon-seok.
