Afterlife Diner

Lee Kang-Jin has unexpectedly inherited an entire building situated in the affluent Gangnam district of Seoul. However, this windfall comes with a strict condition: he must personally operate the diner located on the property for five consecutive years to claim his inheritance. What begins as a daunting but manageable culinary obligation soon reveals a far more supernatural complication. Kang-Jin quickly discovers that his establishment is not meant solely for the living. Every night, between the hours of eleven and one, the diner transforms into a sanctuary for restless spirits burdened by lingering resentment. These ghosts arrive seeking the comfort foods they cherished in life—dishes capable of evoking memories of their mortal existence and offering them a fleeting sense of peace. Kang-Jin must now master recipes that soothe not just hunger, but deep emotional anguish. Balancing the ordinary demands of running a business with the extraordinary needs of his spectral clientele proves to be an immense challenge. Each dish requires more than culinary skill; it demands empathy and an understanding of unresolved human sorrow. As the nights blur together, Kang-Jin faces the ultimate test of endurance, forced to wonder whether he can fulfill both the culinary and deeply personal expectations of his undead patrons for the full five-year term.
