Synopsis
Hard-luck inheritor must run Gangnam restaurant for 5 years, serving ghosts nightly from 11 PM to 1 AM.
"I was given a building as an inheritance?" From a nobody who does all kinds of odd jobs and lived a hard life, I was given a chance to become a landlord right in the middle of Gangnam! But, the condition for this inheritance is to "operate a restaurant for 5 years." Moreover, I can sense a chill down my spine thanks to the weird customers that came in for today's store opening... Do I really just need to prepare food? "So then...all the guests who came in yesterday..." "They were ghosts." Every night starting from 11 o' clock until 1 o'clock, we will now be open!
