Although things are not back to normal yet, Park Shin-hye is expected to carry on the theater craze that's been led by creditable works since the aftermath of the pandemic COVID-19. Particularly welcome to the screen craze is the continued performances of actresses in various genres, including thrillers and dramas that are not melodrama, raising hopes for the birth of more women-centered films.

Park Shin-hye, who has been widely loved both on and off the screens, returns with "#ALIVE", which is a survival thriller about people stranded alone in their apartments, without data, Wi-Fi, text messages and phone calls all out of control as the undead begin their attacks.

Park Shi-hye plays a survivor named Yoo-bin who is isolated in the middle of the city. Yoo-bin is meticulous and calmly agonizes over how to survive and is said to have completed her character's own color to cope with extreme situations. For the character who survives against the unknown, she showed impressive skills with her passionate performance, such as performing high-level actions herself.
