Lovely Death

사랑하는 죽음

Ever the master of invention, director Lee Won-suk (Killing Romance, How To Use Guys With Secret Tips) brings vertical drama to the big screen. Three friends determined to die are denied by death itself and sent to uncover the truth behind a mass poisoning at Hongpyeong Pension. As hidden secrets and suspicions emerge among the survivors gathered there, Yeon begins to cling desperately to life, causing a painful rift with Irim, who still longs for them to die together. When the true killer finally strikes again, Yeon barely survives, forever marked by death’s shadow.
