[The Secret of the CSAT / Director: Lee Yong-jae / Cast: Lee Sunbin, You Chea Myung, Kim Young-min, Jun Suk-ho]
'The Secret of the CSAT' is a comedy film depicting professors and teachers isolated from the outside world for 40 days to create the questions for the CSAT.
It showcases the less-than-funny situations unfolding at the question-setting headquarters, including fierce psychological warfare among the examiners and the constant tightrope walking to produce error-free questions.
The ensemble of veteran actors such as You Chea Myung, Kim Young-min, and Jun Suk-ho, alongside actor Lee Sunbin, stands out.
[Lee Sunbin / Actor: I felt that this story is not simply about the CSAT question setters, but rather a collection of human portraits of people born with various different temperaments.]

[Sense and Sensibility / Director: Georgia Oakley / Cast: Daisy Edgar-Jones, Esme Creed-Miles]
'Sense and Sensibility' is a period drama based on Jane Austen's famous novel.
It brings to the screen the love and marriage of two sisters with contrasting personalities against the backdrop of the early 19th century.
It is worth comparing with director Ang Lee's 1995 Academy Award-winning adaptation of the same novel, 'Sense and Sensibility'.

[Heart of the Beast / Director: David Ayer / Cast: Brad Pitt]
'Heart of the Beast' is an action drama driven entirely by Brad Pitt and a single dog.
When a former special forces operative crashes his plane and gets stranded, the two veterans—a retired soldier and a retired military dog—begin a desperate struggle for survival bound by a deep bond of friendship.
[Brad Pitt / Actor: It was a story about how connected we are to each other, how best to treat each other, and how we respond to one another's actions. Those aspects really resonated deeply with me.]

[A Flowing Journey / Director: Kim Jin-yu / Cast: Kim Hae-sook, Justin Min]
'A Flowing Journey' follows Choon-hee, who has lost her husband; Min-jun, a conductor and adoptee who comes to South Korea to find his birth mother; and Sungchan, a boy dreaming of becoming a pianist, as they serendipitously meet through the medium of the piano and weave into each other's lives.
The lead actors shared that the film makes one realize that not only blood ties, but also the people with whom we spend time and lean on, are no different from family.

[Like Stars / Director: Michihito Fujii / Cast: Ryusei Yokohama, Suzu Hirose]
'Like Stars' is a Japanese romance film based on Yu Nagira's bestselling novel, which has surpassed 2 million copies in cumulative circulation.
Directed by Michihito Fujii of 'The Last 10 Years', the film stars popular Japanese actors well-known in South Korea, such as Ryusei Yokohama from 'National Treasure' and Suzu Hirose from 'Our Little Sister'.
