From Tokyopop:
After establishing an idealized utopian country, the legendary warrior, Hong Gil-Dong, disappeared without a trace. As time passed, the people of the land began to forget about Hong Gil-Dong, who had been enjoying a peaceful existence of anonymity in a small village. Until one day, when a band of unknown warriors invaded the village, leaving it in utter ruin. Now, Hong Gil-Dong has returned, determined to raise his village from the ashes-but in order to accomplish this he will need funds. And so he finds employment as a bounty hunter, capturing wanted criminals. Then, in a twist of fate, Hong Gil-Dong inadvertently rescues the daughter of a wealthy merchant from a kidnapping attempt. Consequently, he is hired on as her bodyguard, and charged with delivering the girl safely to her father. But evil forces lurk in the shadows, observing the hero's every move-waiting for the opportunity to strike.
*The manga is already subbed to volume 3 chapter 20 and it's still ongoing!*

[From NetComics]:
Contains two stories:
1) The Devil's Trill: In 18th-century Germany, Count Eichner Wittgenstein is tall, dark, dreamy...and undead. But being a vampire doesn't stop him from recognizing his one and only love, Elizabeth, who also happens to be married to another man. Flash forward some 200 years, to Berlin in the late 1990s, when the Count comes under the spell of a young woman with something eerily familiar about her. But fate intervenes again, delaying the final reckoning between the Count and his soul mate until well into the 22nd century!
2) The Magic Box: Diamonds may be a girl's best friend, but there are some things in life that are more precious still. And sometimes you need TWO lifetimes to learn this valuable lesson!

From NetComics:
Commonly acknowledged as a genius biologist, Dr. Gangjae Lee has a conceited and blunt personality that tends to push people away. But that doesn't bother him since he is a happy husband who has been married for 7 years to Jaehee, a woman whose astonishing beauty and sexiness captivate men.
While living a double life as a college research professor, Dr. Lee secretly participates in a human cloning project run by Dr. Suh. Through numerous trials and errors, and thousands of experiments, a few clones are born. But these miracles of science are sub-quality clones whose life spans don't stretch much past 7 years.
Although their methods improve, the two doctors give birth to another sub-quality clone, but this one is of Dr. Lee's wife, Jaehee. They call her by three different names: Jaehee, Clone S04, and a name her lover and popular novelist Jinhun gives her, June. Together with Dr. Suh and Jungwoo, and hidden from the eyes of the world with the support of underground financial powers, Dr. Lee devotes himself to this project.
But one day, his wife who he treasures more than his own life, gets brutally murdered and the story takes a different turn...

The story deals with one of the most tragic and critical events in South Korean history. On May 18, 1980, in the city of Gwangju, state troops were ordered to open fire on civilians, killing and wounding thousands. Former president Chun Doo-hwan is believed to have given the order, and although he is not named explicitly in the film, the target of the assassination attempt is clearly meant to represent Chun, who was convicted in 1996 of crimes related to the Gwangju Massacre, but later pardoned by President Kim Dae-jung.
26 years later in 2006, five people who consider themselves as some of the biggest victims of the massacre, plot a top-secret project to exact revenge by assassinating the man responsible. Kwon Jung-hyuk is a newly recruited policeman who lost his family in the massacre; he is now responsible for the cars that have access to the target's house. Kwak Jin-bae is a young gangster from an organized crime group whose father was also killed. Olympic sharpshooter Shim Mi-jin, a CEO from a large company and the director of a private security firm are also involved. As a former president, "that man" lives under police protection in an affluent district of Seoul, but through a combination of ingenuity, skill, and well-placed money they are able to draw within shooting distance of their target.
