Cast

Production

Lynn Q. Yu wrote the script for Unnie in 2023, and it was voted onto The Black List of best unproduced screenplays in 2023.[1] The project was picked up by production company Badlands, along with Thunder Road Films, and Hong Won-ki was hired to direct in July 2024.[2] The film was later retitled Perfect Girl, and Arden Cho joined the producing team.[3]

Casting first began in January 2025 with Adeline Rudolph and Arden Cho,[3] followed by Jeon Somi and John Harlan Kim much later in the year.[4][5] Principal photography began in late October 2025 in Thailand, with May Hong, Peter Lee Jae Yoon, Samantha Cochran, AC Bonifacio, Achiraya Nitibhon, Nancy, Siyoon, and Chaerin rounding out the cast.[6]

Principal photography began in Thailand.[7] In November 2025, Bonifacio suffered a motorcycle taxi accident on a day off, breaking her humerus. The production had finished several weeks of filming, but ultimately decided her role would have to be recast and reshoots would be needed.[8]
