To make matters worse, she is also being bullied. With no friends or family to talk to, she spirals into loneliness.   
 
After being tricked into visiting an abandoned motel by her classmates, Yu-ri meets the mysterious Da-hye, who appears to be homeless. 
 
As the two girls become close, Da-hye introduces Yu-ri to her “family” that turns out to be other people experiencing homelessness living together.

#Alive (15)
Drama / 98 mins. / Korean / June 24
 
When Joon-woo wakes up to find the rest of his family gone, he’s ready to spend the whole day playing computer games without any interruptions.  
 
What he did not expect, however, was to be trapped inside his home while an unidentifiable epidemic sweeps across the country transforming everyone into a zombie-like state.  
 
WiFi, Internet, and television broadcasts are cut off one-by-one while Joon-woo has to survive with limited food and water supply.  
 
If he dares to venture outside, it’s highly likely that he’ll be bitten and turned into a monster.  
 
Just as he’s beginning to lose all hope, he comes into contact with another survivor, Yoo-bin, in the next building.
 
Can the two put their heads together and figure out a way to be rescued?

Her ambition is simple — to play for a professional baseball league after graduation. But her gender appears to be the only thing holding her back.    
 
When her mother, friends, and even her coach tell her to give up, she grits her teeth and tells them, “I’m not giving up before I try.”  
 
When a new coach comes to her school, Soo-in is faced with her biggest challenge to date.  
 
Actor Lee Joo-young from the hit JTBC drama series “Itaewon Class” plays the determined Soo-in.
