Synopsis
After a near-death experience, a rookie labor attorney enters an unfair contract to work for ghosts. Now, he has to risk his life to aid the unjustly deceased in this comical fantasy human office drama.
Moo-jin is a labor attorney who gets paid for covering up the corruption of problematic companies while visiting labor sites with high industrial accident risks. One day, during an inspection of a factory, he faces a near-death crisis when steel materials collapse. At that moment, a Bodhisattva with a burning labor law book in hand appears before Moo-jin and forces him to sign a labor contract. Then, Moo-jin gains the ability to see ghosts, and to save his own life he also must solve various labor problems brought by the ghosts and resolve their grudges. Each episode captivatingly reveals the narratives of spirits from different life stages who met unfair ends, including a young trainee at a work site, a newly qualified nurse in her thirties, and a sanitation employee in her sixties. He goes through a chaotic ghost-helping adventure, meeting various characters of ghosts, from one who vanishes powerlessly to another who tries to possess Moo-jin's body to take revenge.
Dr. B-Pang 닥터비팡 (2025)
Thursday, November 6, 7:30PM
Director: Yoon A Ko
Producer: Moo-Hyun Jang
Production: NAME X ENTERTAINMENT
Synopsis: A heartwarming, music-filled CGI animation set in Seoul’s food alleys—where a struggling K-pop trainee and a talking bungeo-ppang (carp-shaped pastry) embark on a journey of friendship, healing, and taste.
After six years of idol training, Ho Soo’s anxiety and panic attacks drive him to quit and run a tiny street stall near Jongno’s Nagwon Arcade. Just when his dream seems to collapse, a miracle happens—the pastry mold shakes, and Dr. B-PANG, a magical, talking bungeo-ppang with a “super palate,” jumps out.
Together they breathe life into the alley: inventing viral new recipes, reviving neighbors’ businesses, and discovering comfort in food and music. But when jealousy, plagiarism, and betrayal strike again, Ho Soo must risk his future to protect his new family of small-shop owners and the tiny friend who changed his life.
