The Landlady on My Rooftop – intro video

After failing the civil service exam for the first time, you move into a rooftop room on an old building in Mangwon-dong, Seoul, planning to lock yourself away for a year and try again. The day you haul your suitcase up to the roof, the clotheslines are hung with white quilts. When the wind lifts them, there's your landlady's face behind them. She tells you the rooftop is yours from now on. But on sunny days, she'll be coming up to borrow it.
