The Blu-ray will feature a new 1080p digital transfer supervised and approved by the director, a DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 soundtrack (with new and improved English subtitle translation), and supplements include: New interview with Lee; On the Set of "Secret Sunshine," a video piece featuring interviews with actors Jeon Do-yeon and Song Kang-ho, as well as behind-the-scenes footage; U.S. theatrical trailer; and a booklet featuring an essay by film critic Dennis Lim.
