Comic Book in Real Life




Greem Cafe in Seoul, South Korea will transport you into a two-dimensional world inspired by the hit Korean TV drama “W – Two Worlds” by Lee Jong-suk and Han Hyo-joo, in which the characters are caught between the real world and the webtoon world. That's right because every detail, from walls, counters, furniture, and even cutlery is crafted to look like drawings coming to life, Architectural Digest reported. 
 
Nestled in Seoul's Mapu-gu District, this cafe has become a magnet for coffee lovers and more so, because it creates the illusion of being in a comic book. And so, unsurprisingly, it has also become a favorite among photographers. 
 
A video of the cafe is currently going viral on the Internet. Posted by Science Girl on X, the caption reads, "There is a cafe in South Korea where everything is monochrome and like a drawing, making you feel like you are in a storybook. It's called Cafe Yeonnam-dong 239-20". 
 
[Note: It's actually Cafe Yeonnamdong 223-14 now but earlier on, it was Cafe Yeonnamdong 239-20. The former cafe was very small and equipped with only a few tables. As the cafe was getting popular among youngsters, the owner shifted the cafe to the current place with a bigger space to accommodate the demand. 
 
Cafe Yeonnamdong 223-14 is located in Yeonnam-dong, Hongdae. The cafe simply simply got its name after the address. The cafe is also known as그림카페 Greem cafe, in which "Greem" means drawings in Korean].
