Wannabe

Once the shining star of the silver screen, award-winning actress Su-yeon crashes and burns after a notorious DUI incident. Attempting a dazzling comeback through a heartfelt essay, she finds the world's reception icy. Battling depression, Su-yeon engages in a heated argument with Ga-yeong, with whom she lives, and resorts to binge drinking to relieve stress. In a drunken stupor, Su-yeon wakes up to discover Ga-yeong stabbed to death with a knife. With no recollection of the situation, Su-yeon receives a letter asking, "Do you deserve to be an actress?" Determined to cover up everything, she embarks on an adventurous journey risking her life, realizing that someone is watching her.

Directed by Yoo Young-seon, Wannabe leans on a strong ensemble — Park Ji-yeon, Song Ji-eun, Kim Nu-ri — 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 thriller titles of 2024.
