Hallyu Director's Chronicle

(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.

The Blasphemous Way

Beyond life and death. Beyond heaven and earth. Beyond suffering itself — lies the only truth worth seeking.” On the day the heavens bled, Li Qiong stood alone against the world. Surrounded by thousands of immortals — righteous sects, divine patriarchs, sword saints — he stood atop Blackpine Sky Ridge, bloodied yet unbowed. His cultivation was in shambles. His body was broken. His soul burned away like a candle. And yet… he laughed. For he had already seen through it all. Li Qiong was no villain, no hero, no martyr. He was a seeker. A sage. A man who had walked farther than any other on the endless path — and glimpsed a truth so vast, so profound, that even the heavens themselves feared it. While others cultivated for power, for status, for petty notions of righteousness or vengeance… Li Qiong pursued one thing, and one thing only: True immortality. The door beyond. The answer to life, to death, to suffering itself. For centuries he endured in silence. Patient. Persistent. He bled, and knelt, and climbed — each step closer to the ultimate truth. Until the day came when even heaven itself tried to stop him. And he smiled, because he understood: To sever heaven is not to rebel. It is to to be free. But his story did not end with his fall. When the heavens burned and his body turned to ash, his eyes opened once more — in the body of his younger self, before it all began. Armed with the wisdom of countless lifetimes and the unyielding Will of a sage, he takes the path again — this time not merely to climb beyond heaven… but to tear open the final door, and step through. Even the heavens cannot shackle one who has already broken free.

As fear grips the community, Kamen is drawn into a dark obsession, desperate to uncover the horrifying truth behind these monstrous transformations. Determined to restore order, Kamen plunges into a nightmarish investigation that reveals a sinister underbelly lurking beneath the town's facade.

He realizes that these mutations are not mere accidents but part of an insidious agenda that threatens to consume everything he holds dear. In a moment of sheer desperation, Kamen vows to bring the perpetrators of this horror to justice, even if it means confronting the monstrous truths about humanity itself.
