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

《연애의 기초》는 1995년 11월 6일부터 1995년 12월 26일까지 방송되었던 MBC 월화 드라마로 각 편 4부로 구성된 옴니버스 드라마이며 빈악한 갈등 구조와 개인 심리 묘사에 치우쳤다는 지적이 있었다. 한편, 해당 프로그램은 당초 1995년 9월 30일 첫 방송 계획이었으나 제작 일정에 차질을 빚어 같은 해 11월 6일로 첫 회가 바뀌었는데 개그맨 정재환(이상훈 역)과 코미디언 이상해 (박한섭 역)가 해당 작품으로 첫 드라마 출연을 했다. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
