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

Spring of Youth (Korean: 사계의 봄) is a 2025 South Korean teen romance television series written by Kim Min-cheol, directed by Kim Sung-yong, and starring Ha Yoo-joon, Park Ji-hu, and Lee Seung-hyub. It aired on SBS TV from May 6, to July 2, 2025, every Wednesday at 22:40 (KST). Drawing dismal average ratings of 0.9% despite airing on a terrestrial television network, Spring of Youth is notable for being belatedly revealed to have been written by Kim Soon-ok, who earned the reputation of being a "ratings queen" for controversial and highly provocative melodramas such as Temptation of Wife (2008–2009) and its spiritual successor Temptation of an Angel (2009), Jang Bo-ri is Here! (2014), My Daughter, Geum Sa-wol (2015–16), and The Penthouse: War in Life (2020–21). (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
