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.
How it feels
This is a 24-episode co-produced drama set in historical Korea. It tells the story of six loyal ministers who were executed for opposing a king. The series struggled with low viewer ratings due to its slow pace and unfamiliar actors.

What happens
《사육신》(문화어: 사륙신)은 한국방송공사가 기획하고, 조선중앙방송이 제작한 24부작 텔레비전 드라마인데 낯선 배우들, 이해하기 어려운 억양과 말투, 느린 진행 등이 남쪽의 시청자들과 맞지 않았던 점 외에도 정치적 이유에서 작품을 거부하는 사회적 분위기가 있었던 탓인지 2~3%대의 애국가 시청률로 기대 이하의 성적에 그쳤으며 결국 KBS 내부 감사에서 도마 위에 올라야 했다. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
