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

《찬품단자》는 MBC에서 1995년 12월 1일에 방영된 창사 34주년 특별기획 드라마이다. 훗날 같은 채널에서 방송된 대장금의 초반 설정이 이 작품의 줄거리와 비슷하다는 논란이 있었다. 일제 강점기인 1939년 왕실의 음식을 만드는 소주방 나인으로 입궐하여 가장 밑바닥에서부터 수년 간 혹독한 훈련과정을 거치며 수라상 차리기들 익혀가는 박월남과 이용덕을 주인공으로, 마지막 주방상궁 최상궁이 이들을 훈련시켜 궁중요리의 대를 이을 최고의 요리사로 키우는 과정을 그린 드라마. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
