The teaser of the show introduces us to the pop-up bar and its owner who selects different people every day to sit with her and have a drink. She seems to have some otherworldly effect on them and is a mysterious figure. We also see scenes that show the bar host in historic times as well. So would this be similar to IU's show 'Hotel Del Luna'? We would have to wait and see how the plot progresses.
