There is a secret bar where visitors can fulfill their deepest desires and dreams, with the enigmatic bartender serving up special drinks that make these dreams come true.
This series features three different visitors
-a tired man, an injured cat, a love-starved girl- each with their unique desires and wishes. The tired man hopes to escape his exhausting work by going back in time, while the injured cat wishes to possess the strength of a tiger. The love-starved girl wants to be loved by everyone.
