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

Skip Beat! (Chinese: 華麗的挑戰) is a Taiwanese television series based on the manga of the same name by Yoshiki Nakamura. It premiered on 18 December 2011 on FTV Main Channel and 24 December 2011 on GTV Variety Show. Skip Beat! is a joint production between Taiwan and Japan, and is produced by Gala Television under executive producer Doze Niu. Development of Skip Beat! began on 1 January 2008 after the casting of Ariel Lin and Jerry Yan in the main roles. On 1 January 2009, Gala Television had to indefinitely postpone the production due to several financial setbacks and script rewrites, causing Yan to drop out of the project. Skip Beat! was brought back into production following the signing of Super Junior members' Choi Si-won and Lee Donghae in the main roles on 1 May 2010. On 1 February 2011, one month before filming, Ivy Chen replaced Lin, who had already signed to film another production when Skip Beat! was languishing in development hell. Filming officially began on 1 April 2011 with locations in Taipei and Tokyo. It entered post-production at the conclusion of filming on 1 July 2011. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
