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

《강적들》은 KBS 2TV에서 2008년 4월 14일부터 2008년 6월 3일까지 방영된 KBS 월화 미니시리즈로, 청와대 경호실을 배경으로 하고 있다. 이 드라마는 MBC 《이산》으로 인해 시청률은 그다지 높지 않왔지만 매니아층을 형성했다. 또한 당초 김종학프로덕션이 크랭크인까지 했다가 제작비가 맞지 않는다는 이유로 제작을 포기하여 KBS 미디어로 제작사가 변경됐으며, 이 과정에서 “《태왕사신기》 제작 후유증”이란 지적도 있었다. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
