About Jinju's Pearl
Jinju, a film director, is a week away from filming her movie. However, she feels helpless with the most important filming location, the café, suddenly under construction. Fortunately, a friend introduces her to a 50 year old traditional café called “Samgakji coffee shop” located in Kyeongnam Jinju. She likes the “Samgakji coffee shop”…but there is a twist; the place is scheduled to be demolished.
Directed by Kim Lok-kyoung, Jinju's Pearl leans on a strong ensemble — Lee Ji-hyun, Moon Sun-yong, Lim Ho-jun — 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.

The play is shown act by act with the briefest of breaks to move props or for refreshments. The lack of costumes, real props and scenery is soon forgotten.
