1 A.M., and She's Still Open Downstairs – intro video

Your first winter in Seoul, you rent a rooftop room on an old building in Mangwon-dong. Your landlady runs the late-night diner on the ground floor. She's seven years older than you, and the first time she saw you, she told you you were too skinny. At one in the morning, you get home from working late just as she's pulling down the shutter. She takes one look at you and pushes it back up.
