Romance stands at the crossroads between the real world and virtual reality in a future where half of the world population uses the ‘Love Virtually’ app. People match the partners they want with the faces they want, using a “fictional” ID, which has become the universal norm. A couple creates their IDs with their pre-plastic surgery faces and develop feelings for each other. On the 100th-day anniversary of their first meeting through the app, the pair decides to celebrate and get physical, but the app crashes…

Praised as the Korean Black Mirror, SF8 is exemplary of the new wave of prestige TV fiction that’s found its best expression with shows like HBO’s Westworld or the aforementioned British series, where the lines between small and big screen media meld into a revolutionary visual grammar. An ambitious movie-drama crossover project between MBC, the Directors Guild of Korea, the OTT platform Wavve and the production company Soo Film, this series of stand-alone anticipation tales takes sci-fi to the next level. SF8 was released on Wavve in July while MBC started airing it on August 14.
