The Place

On the edge of town, in a dilapidated former public bathhouse, two young artists share a precarious roof, a common dream, and the constant fear of disappearing. By repainting the cracked tiles of this borrowed space, they attempt to rebuild much more than a physical place: an identity, a future, and a sense of belonging. Their daily lives become a poignant exploration of what it means to have—and lose—a place of one's own.

Directed by Lee Won-hoi, The Place leans on a strong ensemble — CHUU, Han Ye-ji, Kim Si-yu — 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 2025.
