What they share

Both films are directed by Yim Soon-rye, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Little Forest, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Whistleblower is

Body horror meets bureaucratic thriller. A whistleblower leaks evidence that a celebrated stem-cell scientist forged data. The fallout lands a news producer at the center of institutional rot. A journalist carries the weight, the late 2010s feel the chill.
