Imitation (2021)

Imitation (2021) is a captivating narrative that gives an intimate look into the glitz and gloom of the idol entertainment industry. Lee Ma Ha (Jung Ji-so), a talented yet struggling impersonator, is thrust into the limelight after her dreams of becoming an idol are shattered by a dark incident at her entertainment company. Her uncanny resemblance to renowned solo singer La Ri Ma (Park Ji-yeon) becomes her ticket to stardom as she is recruited by Ji Hak (Danny Ahn), a former manager of the once-celebrated boy band SHAX, to join his new girl group, Tea Party. Ma Ha's compelling imitation of La Ri Ma soon becomes the talk of the town, drawing both applause and scorn, and making Tea Party a sensation. Amid the whirlwind of fame, Ma Ha crosses paths with Kwon Ryok (Lee Jun-young), the charismatic heartthrob of SHAX. Ryok, though successful, is grappling with the ghost of a past tragedy - the baffling disappearance of his bandmate Lee Eun Jo (Chani). An unlikely romance blossoms between Ma Ha and Ryok, a clandestine relationship that threatens to unravel their careers. In the midst of this romantic turbulence, Lee Yu Jin (Jeong Yun-ho), Ma Ha's loyal friend and fellow idol, steps into the fray. He is determined to shield Ma Ha from the potential heartache and to lead his group, Sparkling, to topple SHAX from their throne of popularity. Imitation is a riveting exploration of the trials, triumphs, and secret dalliances of idols in the entertainment industry, transporting viewers into the heart of their tumultuous world.
