South Korea is rocked in 1997, when a college student is found apparently stabbed to death in the restroom of a fast food chain in the Itaewon District of the capital, Seoul. The district is popular among Americans and other foreigners due to its proximity to a large United States Army base. The case is particularly hard for both the police and public prosecutors to crack: Before the student was found dead, he was seen having an argument with other young men.

Two Korean-American friends – Robert Pearson (Jang Geun Suk) and Alex “AJ” Jung (Shin Seung Hwan) – were seen going into the restroom shortly before the body was discovered. They had also been handling a knife at the table they had been sitting at. The investigators consider both to be suspects. But the case gets even harder to solve when Robert Pearson and Alex Jung claim that they are innocent – and blame one another for the killing. It falls to the quick-witted Prosecutor Park (Jung Jin Young) to try to determine who is telling the truth. Will he help bring the killer to justice – and help the innocent man walk free?

This movie was based on a true story.

My Fair Lady

After taking the Yuan Dynasty princess (Song Ji Hyo) as his wife, the King of Goryeo (Joo Jin Mo) is under constant pressure, from court officials of each country, to produce an heir and ensure the continuity of the royal dynasty. In love with Hong Rim (Jo In Sung), the military general who leads the thirty-six young men who make up his royal guard, the King has no interest in the Queen and no desire to use her to produce an heir. Tired of the constant nagging, the King devises a plan that will inevitably appease both courts and ensure his dynasty continues.

Taking Hong Rim and the Queen aside, the King demands that they produce an heir in his stead. Shocked by the King’s orders, the two are reluctant to obey, but no one in Goryeo can go against the King for long. Eventually abiding by the King’s order, Hong Rim and the Queen soon realize there is more between them than a royal edict. As the love between them grows, the King begins to suspect there may be more going on between his lover and the Queen, than a simple will to follow his command. Determined to learn the truth, the King has them followed and soon his suspicions are confirmed. Catching them in the act, the King’s rage is terrible and his punishment severe.&nbsp;

Narrowly escaping death, Hong Rim becomes a wounded outlaw on the run. Desperate to know what happened to the Queen, he seeks out his love, uncertain of whether she has survived the King’s rage. When it appears she has not, Hong Rim’s quest for revenge leads him back to the palace where a final meeting with the King could very well alter the course of history forever.
