The Flu

Ji-seok is a director. He has been struggling because of the money needed to produce films. Song PD, Ji-seok's colleague, introduces him to an actress, Hong Mi-ran. Hong, now with terminal disease, agrees to pay for all the production costs under the condition that she must be the lead. The lifetime project of the troubled souls—would this make it through to the end?

Directed by Jung Hyung-suk, The Flu leans on a strong ensemble — Jung Hyung-suk, Song Yong-sik, Bang Eun-hee — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2024.
