What if you could turn the pages of your own life, like the pages of your favourite book?

Step into the magical and uplifting world of THE MOON GLOW BOOKSHOP - the Korean sensation for fans of Before the Coffee Gets Cold and DallerGut Dream Department Store

Hidden down a quiet alley, glowing softly under moonlight, there is a bar like no other. This otherworldly venue is manned by Mun, a quiet bartender with a knowing gaze and a mysterious past. He serves not just drinks, but moments. Hand-crafted cocktails that shimmer with stardust and emotion; each one a reflection of your own life: your hidden dreams and your forgotten joys.

Long ago, Mun was the guardian at a magical library where every book held the story of a person's life story. Due to his beliefs that those stories belonged not on dusty shelves but in people's hearts, Mun was cast out and shunned. He found hope in the most unexpected person - Bo-reum, a magical Moon Rabbit who gave him an enchanted recipe that could turn memories into magic. Now, in every glass he serves, there is a chance to remember, to understand and to heal.

Sit down and feel your story unfold.

Sometimes, the smallest sip can change everything.

Your drink is ready. What will your heart choose?
