Falsify (2017)

Other name: 조작, Jojak, Fabrication, Manipulation, Distorted

Description:

In modern society where journalism has lost its integrity and factual reporting has seemingly disappeared, the gripping drama Falsify explores the relentless search for truth. While honest reporters are rare, the belief remains that if even one person is willing to look, the truth will eventually emerge from the darkness. The story centers on two very different journalists who find themselves on an unexpected path. One is a notorious media jackal, a journalist willing to fabricate or manipulate any story just to gain views. The other is a vegetative journalist who has spent five agonizing years without publishing a single article. Despite their contrasting backgrounds, these two journalists join forces. Accompanied by a determined prosecutor, this unlikely trio works together to expose hidden conspiracies and bring the long-buried truth to light, proving that real journalism is not entirely dead.
