Limecrime (2020)
Songju raps during a high school music exam, but only his classmates appreciated it. The teacher gives him an F. Thanks to the performance, Songju gains a new admirer who, like him, loves hip-hop. While Songju comes from the poorer part of town and his best friends are gang members, the exemplary student Juyeon is from a wealthy family that leaves him to live alone in the company of their maid. Despite different living conditions, the boys become friends and, thanks to a common passion, form a hip-hop duo called Limecrime. After several successful club performances, they start to prove themselves. However, there are obstacles on their way up, especially from Songju's friends.
