Some friendships fade. Others wait six decades and pick up right where they left off. That’s the heart of Still Shining, a Korean film that has just released two new posters, and they’re already tugging at heartstrings.
The Story: A Reunion 60 Years in the Making
The film follows Soon Ok, played by Kim Hye Ja, who reunites with her best friend Jung Im, played by Cha Mi Kyung, after 60 years. They shared some of the brightest moments of their lives, and the film asks what happens when those two women find each other again.

What the Two New Posters Show?
Poster one features Kim Hye Ja as Soon Ok, smiling brightly after meeting her childhood best friend for the first time in 60 years. Beneath her, younger versions of Soon Ok and Jung Im chase their dreams side by side. Putting the present-day Soon Ok and the two girls from her past in one image makes you curious about the bond that brought them back together.
Poster two traces the friendship from childhood to the present. The younger friends stand side by side with flowers in their hair. The present-day pair wear flowers in their hair too, along with a red scarf. The image makes the point that their bond hasn’t changed in 60 years.
The tagline, “Our story that you must remember,” adds to the anticipation. It hints at a story the two women have carried in their hearts for decades.
Why It’s Worth Watching?
It’s a rare film built around lifelong female friendship, led by two veteran actresses. The posters promise warmth and nostalgia rather than melodrama, and a 60-year gap gives the story plenty of emotional weight. If you love gentle, character-led films, this one is worth putting in your calendar.
