Night on Earth

Society is plunged into chaos by the appearance of mysterious jellyfish that swarm onto beaches glowing beautifully at night. A single touch from their tentacles transforms humans and animals alike into jellyfish. Curiously, many people yearn for the sightless, soundless existence of these drifting sea creatures. Soo, who hides away at home, desires only to escape life. When driven to his limit, he flees toward ‘Manbok Inn,’ rumored to offer a new beginning. There, after six years of isolation, Soo faces people once again and stands at a crossroads. Will he live as a human or a jellyfish?

Directed by Jeong Soo-hyun, Night on Earth leans on a strong ensemble — Park Yu-rim, Ryujin, Kim Dan — 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 fantasy titles of 0.
