Juno has all the things celebrity can get her; a star game broadcaster, she enjoys a vast following of close to a million subscribers. But when a former classmate claims she made up her own past, Juno’s fall from grace is swift and brutal. Facing the controversy head on and desperate to return to the air, she tries to redeem her reputation and popularity, and enters a virtual game that might turn out to be her worst nightmare. Little does she know that her past and the truth aren’t the kind of things she can escape.

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.
