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

Semantic Error (Korean: 시맨틱 에러) is a 2022 South Korean streaming television series based on a homonymous BL web novel by Jeo Soo-ri, starring Park Seo-ham and Park Jae-chan. It premiered on February 16, 2022, on Watcha. The series is the first BL to achieve a major success in South Korea. The series became a social phenomenon and introduced the BL genre to the mainstream South Korean audience, which resulted in a rising production of South Korean BL dramas and films. The series was included on Teen Vogue's best BL dramas of 2022 list. The theatrical version of the series, Semantic Error: The Movie, was first screened at the 26th Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival and commercially released in August 2022. A less well-known anime version of the same source material appeared in 2021, produced and streamed by Laftel. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
