The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

《생인손》은 1986년 8월 16일부터 1986년 8월 17일까지 MBC에서 방영된 8.15 특집 드라마로, 소설가 한무숙의 동명 소설을 원작으로 제작되었다. 이 드라마는 구한말 이후 60년대까지 살아온 한 노비의 운명적인 삶을 그린 노비문학의 첫 TV 영상화라는 점에서 많은 관심을 끌었고, 방송 후 노비와 상전 간의 갈등 묘사와 두 차례에 걸친 반전, 그리고 특수분장이 돋보인다는 평을 받았다. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
