The Netflix series 'Aema' has released 12 press stills.
Amid the birth of erotic films that swept through Korea in the 1980s, the Netflix series 'Aema' has released 12 press stills depicting the story of top star 'Hee-ran' and rookie actress 'Joo-ae', who bravely confront the dark realities hidden under the glamorous spotlight.
First, the appearance of the top star 'Jeong Hee-ran' (Lee Ha-nee), who was the best star of the 1980s, and the rising star 'Shin Joo-ae' (Bang Hyo-rin), who appears like a comet and takes on the lead role in 'Aema', is intriguing.
From head to toe, 'Hee-ran', who embodies the aura of being the best fashionista of the time, and rookie actress 'Joo-ae', whose spirited and energetic vibe is palpable, enhance the expectations for 'Aema' with their distinct charms. Additionally, from their appearances riding side by side to seemingly engaging in a subtle psychological battle both inside and outside the filming set, the relationship between the rookie leading actress and the top supporting actress triggers curiosity about how their story will unfold.
Meanwhile, another key figure in film production, production company representative 'Gu Jung-ho' (Jin Sun-kyu) and rookie director 'Gwak In-woo' (Jo Hyun-cheol), also catch attention. 'Jung-ho' demotes 'Hee-ran', who rejected the lead role of 'Aema', to the supporting role of 'Erika', while attempting to make a more provocative film by featuring the inexperienced rookie actress 'Joo-ae' as the lead. Prioritizing sensationalism over artistic value, 'Jung-ho' leads the production with 'In-woo', the rookie director, resulting in conflicts and disagreements.
Amid the challenging circumstances for everyone from producers to actors, the struggles of 'In-woo' as he moves between a cluttered workspace filled with draft scripts and the filming site illustrate his efforts to complete his debut film, amplifying curiosity about whether the film can emerge in the desired direction.
In the story surrounding the filming of the sensational hit 'Aema Buin,' which was a phenomenal success in the 1980s, 'Aema' portrays the delightful yet clever solidarity of two women trying to make their mark on the world in their own ways, and it will be released on Netflix on Aug. 22 (Friday).
