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

Star in My Heart (Korean: 별은 내 가슴에; RR: Byeoreun nae gaseume) was a 1997 Korean drama series run on MBC. One of the earlier Korean dramas to air outside Korea, as part of what became known as the Korean Wave, it was very popular and helped its cast (particularly Ahn Jae-wook) become widely recognized. Choi Jin-sil broke her exclusive contract with SBS upon accepting the lead role which ultimately resulted in MBC paying a penalty for her appearance. The drama also marked Jeon Do-yeon's final small screen appearance prior to transition in the big screen with The Contact later that year. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
