5-Meter Radius(2021)

Revealing the lopsidedness of modern life

5-Meter Radius is a South Korean series that explores the quiet frustrations of everyday life through the lens of a weekly women's magazine. A young editor and a seasoned, unconventional journalist tackle stories that matter to ordinary people—the small grievances, confusions, and anxieties that don't make headlines but shape how we live. Why are some parents left to fend alone? Why do strangers judge our choices? These personal, mundane questions sit at the heart of the show. Together, the pair examine modern society with empathy and nuance, finding meaning in the small but real incongruities that exist within everyone's five-meter radius. The series offers a compassionate look at the overlooked struggles that define contemporary life.
