To the Moon

The bestselling South Korean phenomenon, To the Moon is a bittersweet tale of wealth and class, female friendship, and the promise of the future when good fortune seems to be just around the corner. In Seoul, three young women meet while working mundane desk jobs at a confectionary manufacturer. They become fast friends, taking their conversations out of the group chat as they bond over their average employee report cards, the incompetence of their male team leader, and a mutual longing for financial freedom amid mediocre raises. Eun-sang, the eldest of the group, is always looking for ways to earn extra money, but faces trouble at work after she opens a mini mart at her desk. Jisong, the youngest, dreams of a perfect romance with her Taiwanese boyfriend and spends her low salary on trips to Taipei. Meanwhile, Dahae searches endlessly for a better apartment albeit one she can actually afford. One day over lunch, Eun-sang announces a plan to make enough money to quit her job, by investing her lifes savings in cryptocurrency. Whats more, she thinks the others should join her. All they need to do, she says, is hold on tight and wait for the price to skyrocket to the moon. But as the market begins to fluctuate and spiral out of their control, the fate of their friendships and their futures soon hangs in the balance.
