(Asian Themes) Lee Jihoon, a brilliant film director renowned for his innovative storytelling and cinematic mastery, meets an untimely demise at the height of his career. However, instead of fading into oblivion, he finds himself reborn in the year 2006, inhabiting the body of a notorious chaebol heir from the powerful Lee family—a world far removed from the film sets he once called home. With memories of the future and insider knowledge of both the film and entertainment industries, Jihoon sees this as his second chance—not only to redefine Korean cinema but to reshape the K-pop industry before it spirals into its darkest scandals. However, his new identity comes with an unexpected burden: the ruthless succession battle within the Lee family. Rather than becoming a pawn in the family’s cutthroat power struggle, Jihoon makes a bold decision—to step away from the fight for corporate control and instead pursue what he does best: filmmaking. With his wealth and influence as a chaebol heir, he sets out to revolutionize the entertainment industry, challenge the oppressive systems controlling idols, and craft a legacy that will change the course of Hallyu forever. A thrilling tale of ambition, artistry, and reinvention, Hallyu Director’s Chronicle explores the hidden struggles behind Korea’s entertainment empire, where one man’s vision, courage, and past life wisdom could change the fate of an entire industry—if he can survive long enough to see it through.

People are different. The more superior the bloodline, the easier it is to control power. Ordinary people without supernatural bloodlines can only occupy the bottom rungs of society, unable to achieve anything even if they try their best. Humans are different from other races. Humans aren't as good at magic and archery as elves. They aren't as good at casting metal and brewing alcohol as dwarves. They don't have the physique of orcs, and they don't have the freedom of merpeople underwater. However, if humans had a blood core, everything was possible. Human: "Oh my god, what a noble bloodline. You are the glory of mankind!" Elf: "I've never seen a magic genius like you." Dwarf: "No matter what kind of casting, it is easy for you." Orc: "You are the pride of us orcs. You are the most talented warrior in a millennium. You should be the Emperor of the Orcs!" Merpeople: "Son of God! Boohoo, the Son of God has arrived!"

What is martial arts? Martial Arts has nothing to do with musical instruments, chess, calligraphy, painting, treasures or secret manuals, nor is there so much talk about being the best in the world. Martial Arts is a technique, a method that gives the weak a chance to draw their blades against the strong. What is chivalry (xiá)? Chivalry is not about romantic affairs, traditional culture, or being gentle, respectful, frugal, and compliant. Chivalry is violence, it's the bayonet forged by those driven to Mount Liang to use against tyrants. Cao Mo pledged with a dagger, (Returning to) Lu to invade. Zhuan Zhu entered with grilled meat, (Pacifying) Wu to usurp the throne. Brother Zhang cried in the market, avenging his lord by defiling a lavatory. Suicide by cutting one's own throat to seek justice, acting while concealing his sleeve. The tyrant of Qin seized souls, the coward gained courage. This is a martial artist's story. In the 1930s, a group of like-minded young people came together, striving to change the world. Then, two hundred years later, in a garbage landfill, Xiang Shan, the Progenitor of Cyber Martial Arts who had once rebooted heaven and earth, woke up reciting the name of his enemy, having lost all his memories. "Perhaps it's because I lost back then that the world has become what it is..." "So this time, I won't be defeated again!" This is the story of a person changing the world once more!

In the fractured, steam-powered world of Signo, where magic is worshipped and life is expendable, seven godlike mages—known as the Seven Graces—rule over the continents like divine kings. Each wields a forbidden branch of magic, from time to death itself, and are seen as humanity’s last hope against the horrifying Vanderes—eldritch invaders from beyond the stars. But beneath their sanctified image lies a festering rot. When one of these "saviors" murders a helpless family under the guise of justice, a young magicless boy named Azriel survives—broken, forgotten… and changed. Ten years later, Azriel lives in the industrial city of Reigo, scraping by in a bar run by a grizzled ex-warrior named Gio. He’s no mage. No warrior. Just a boy running from grief—until the night he dies and wakes up again. Now cursed—or blessed—with a mysterious ability to return from death, Azriel is forced to uncover the secrets behind the Graces' power, and the true nature of the "heroes" the world has blindly worshipped. As rebellion stirs and trust is shattered, Azriel must choose: stay in the shadows, or rise as the spark that sets the world ablaze. Because gods may not bleed—but tyrants always fall.

Many years later, Tenkei Shiomi would look back on the moment he first stepped into the Holy Grail War—and perhaps, fate had already been sealed from the start. Thrown into the Land of Shadows with no warning, becoming Scáthach's disciple. Taking in Caren, the daughter Kirei couldn't raise, and adopting Sakura, the second daughter of Tokiomi. Just when he thought his quiet life raising children in Fuyuki was finally beginning, the Holy Grail chose him—and branded him with a Command Spell. He had planned to summon a Berserker into the war... and then you're telling me it turned out to be the legendary Magus and Fairy Queen Morgan? “Well, since I’m always being pushed forward, I might as well step ahead of the push.” Unless... even that thought had already been accounted for. ...
