The setting is the Japanese colonial period. A world after the 1910 Annexation of Korea. A world without cell phones or computers, where rickshaws and horse-drawn carriages roam instead of taxis, and Japanese police patrol with swords at their waists. In elementary schools, students learn Japanese instead of Korean. On the streets of Jongno and Honmachi (Chungmuro) in Gyeongseong (Seoul), young men with short hair appear wearing Western suits. They drink coffee at cafes, browse department stores, and enjoy silent or sound films at movie theaters. Streetcars run on the roads and charcoal-powered buses have appeared, but ordinary citizens mostly use rickshaws or walk.
