One Dollar Lawyer

Cheon Ji-hoon is an unusual lawyer—from his stylish perm all the way to his one-dollar-only commission fee. Yet, this skilled lawyer will stop at nothing to go against Korea’s most expensive lawyers and rich clients who are trying to get away with breaking the law.

The Golden Spoon

High school student Lee Seungcheon hates being poor. One day, he meets an old woman who sells him a golden spoon, with the promise that he’ll be able to swap his parents for someone else’s if he follows her instructions.

Link: Eat, Love, Kill
