Hong Guk Hwa, a sad-looking unknown girl, misidentifies Hyun Soo's taxi as an on-duty cab and gets inside it. That was the start of everything. All of Hyun Soo's decisions that night led to the typical university student being the key suspect in a brutal murder case.
While Hyun Soo trembles with terror and the knowledge that he is being wrongly accused, everyone points to him as the only probable killer. In this desperate position, Shin Joong Han, a low-life attorney, and Do Ji Tae, a criminal monarch who leads the prison food chain, provide a helpful hand. To establish his innocence in whatever manner imaginable, Hyun Soo fights the police and the Korean prosecution with everything he has.

Choi Dong-2012 hoon's South Korean heist action comedy film The Thieves has an ensemble cast. The action comedy is the eighth highest-grossing picture in Korean film history, with over 12.9 million ticket sales. This popular South Korean super-caper film finds two teams of professional thieves—one from Seoul, the other from Hong Kong—joining forces to boost a jewel for an old associate named Macau Park. It's a cross-pollinated mixture of Hollywood-blockbuster bombast, Asian cool, and '60s Vegas ring-a-ding swing. There's only one minor catch: the jewel sought by this criminal underworld legend is, predictably, hidden within a heatproof casino.
Meticulous plans will be devised; catsuits will hug the curves of beautiful women; someone will turn out to be a mole for the fuzz; safes will be cracked; Simon Yam will rock a white suit like nobody's business; and, once things begin to unravel, old animosities will be set aside in the name of post betrayal retaliation. The question isn't whether this sleek, elegant import rips off Ocean's Eleven, Rififi, and others, but how much fun director Choi Dong-hoon and his Pan-Asian ensemble can have with such an obvious genre retreading—the answer is virtually off the charts.

The Producers is a South Korean comedy-drama television series directed by Seo Soo-min and written by Park Ji-eun. Cha Tae-hyun, Gong Hyo-jin, Kim Soo-hyun, and Lee Ji-eun star (IU). From 15 May to 20 June 2015, it aired on KBS2 on Fridays and Saturdays at 21:15 (KST) for 12 episodes.
Ra Joon Mo, Baek Seung Chan (So Huyn), Tak Ye Jin, and K-pop sensation Cindy are a group of youthful television producers that work around the clock in the entertainment division of a major broadcasting network. In this behind-the-scenes look at the people who make television magic happen, serious drama achieves new heights within their dynamic, demanding workloads. Baek Sung Chan is a relatively new producer. He was an Ivy-League law graduate who currently works in KBS's variety department. He changed careers after following in the footsteps of his first love, which did not work out. He is not only brilliant but also clumsy.
Cindy is a well-known and volatile vocalist. She "debuted" at the age of 13 and is now regarded as a veteran at the age of 23. She's dubbed an ice princess since she never expresses strong emotions for anybody. She has a history of betrayal, which compels her to keep a safe distance from everyone. In the broadcast sector, the narrative will leave different deep themes about friendship, family, celebrity, support, bullying, and treachery.
