Drama
A sharp-tongued woman with electric-blue hair, Gu Hana, sits in a progressive film art class, clutching a screenplay dripping with fury toward men. No one dares to give her honest feedback—until Song Cheol, a hungry aspiring director dreaming of his first feature, steps up. “Hey, isn’t this just man-hating?” he challenges. Convinced his own script was passed over because it lacked the so-called “bonus points for being a woman’s film,” he makes an absurd proposal: join forces with him. And so, an unlikely and explosive collaboration begins.

More About This Film

The Last Woman on Earth is a 2026 South Korean drama and comedy directed by Lee Jong-min and Yeum Moon-kyoung. The film follows Hanah, a film-school student whose plans for a revenge satire create tension with her classmates and especially with Cheol-man.

Cheol-man believes his own films struggle to receive funding because they lack a female perspective, leading the two filmmakers into an unlikely creative partnership. Their collaboration becomes a way to explore gender politics, artistic ambition and the messy realities of making films.

The movie deliberately moves between different cinematic styles, turning its filmmaking premise into a playful love letter to cinema itself.

  • The film runs approximately 84 minutes.
  • It was released theatrically in South Korea on July 15, 2026.
  • The film had an extensive festival life, including Fantasia, Jakarta Film Week and the Seoul International Women's Film Festival.
