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
Shin Don (Korean: 신돈) is a South Korean television series based on the novel The Phantom Queen (다정불심; 多情佛心; Dajeongbulsim) by Park Jong-hwa, starring Son Chang-min, Jeong Bo-seok, Seo Ji-hye, Oh Man-seok and Kang Moon-young. It aired on MBC from September 24, 2005 to May 7, 2006 every Saturday and Sunday at 21:40 (KST). This series's first title was originally the same as the title of the novel but later was changed after Son Chang-min took the main role as Shin Don. Son also made his first appearance in a sageuk since Tale of Chunhyang (춘향전) in 1988. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
