Hooked

Eriko is a high-achieving corporate professional who appears to have it all, yet she suffers from profound loneliness and an inability to maintain female friendships. Her life changes when she becomes obsessively fixated on Shoko, a popular lifestyle blogger whose "messy" and authentic life represents everything Eriko lacks.

Eriko orchestrates a "chance" meeting to force a friendship, but her admiration quickly spirals into dark stalking and psychological manipulation. As Eriko’s behavior becomes increasingly unhinged, the boundaries between the two women blur. Shoko, initially unaware of Eriko’s predatory history, finds her own carefully balanced life beginning to unravel. The story is a chilling exploration of modern womanhood, the desperate hunger for connection, and the thin line between friendship and obsession. It examines how social media creates a false sense of intimacy and how far one person will go to be seen by another.
