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

Somewhere along the ordinary alleys you pass by every day, a mysterious shop appears between all the other familiar buildings. Surely, you didn't see it yesterday or the day before. A large sign reads The Moon Glow Bookshop but it seems to have a smaller poster on its window saying, 'If only your life were like a book'.

The faint glow of light from the shop somehow seems to offer you comfort. From just looking at the poster, you can't really tell if it's a bookstore, a bar, or a cafe. Upon opening the door and entering, the first thing that catches your eye are the shelves filled with bottles. It seems to be a bar, and as you take a sip of your desired cocktail, you feel yourself slowly entering a different world...

Boreum, a moon rabbit, and Moon, the guardian of a magical library, have abandoned their jobs as celestial custodians and started operating a mysterious shop on Earth called The Moon Glow Bookshop. At the end of a weary day, around the time when the moon rises, people make their way into the shop and choose cocktails to relive their most regrettable moments. When guests choose a drink, they're served a matching dish as part of the magical experience. The dish that goes well with the cocktail you chose could be a simple egg omelette or perhaps a ripe, juicy tomato that you cannot bear to eat because of its perfect roundness. The result could be a coincidence or destiny.

From a musician who lost her mother due to a perilous mistake and is fated to lose her lover and father again, to a novelist who has become obsessed with success, and a working adult who, obsessed with making money, completely forgot their childhood dreamsβ€”everybody goes looking for answers in The Moon Glow Bookshop.
