The four girls are embroiled in everything from cocaine smuggling to K-Pop star impersonating. Still, the main lesson they take from their adventure is the importance of friendship and self-discovery.
In a recent profile with Variety, Lim stated that the film is more than a raunchy comedy and aims to redefine the status of Asian women in media.
“”There’s a history of being exoticized, fetishized and sexualized, but through a white male point of view,” she shared with Variety. “The solution is not to strip away the fun and the sexuality; we wanted to tell a story, but on our terms. It’s a story about friendship that shows that we can be messy and thirsty with problems but from the female gaze.”
