Now an independent lawyer, she has fallen behind with her rent and can’t find clients who will pay her.

Ki Joo comes from a family afflicted by a strange curse: he must spend his days taking pictures of ghosts, capturing their images before they depart for the afterlife… but many of his clients are disgruntled.

When he intervenes to help heal a local, he finds his stay in the village becomes prolonged – more so than he would have liked.

The Children of LUCA 

Being a prosecutor is not all glamorous work – busting international crime rings and bringing crooked politicians to justice, as Cha Myung Joo (Jung Ryeo Won) soon discovers!

She was once the rising star of her department, working at a central prosecutors’ office, dealing with newsworthy cases. But now she has been transferred to a small branch office in a provincial town, where her daily work is far more mundane!

At the branch office, she meets Lee Sun Woong (Lee Sun Gyun), a fellow prosecutor with a very different outlook on life and what the role of a prosecutor should entail.
