A Coffee Vending Machine and Its Sword

Synopsis

Once an invincible swordsman killed by an assassin, JIN Young-young is reincarnated as a vending machine. Despite his determination to accept the bizarre twist of fate, he falls for Hae-mi, the snack bar owner's daughter who takes excellent care of him unaware of his condition. At first a romantic ballad laced with the familiar "lovesick lonesome martial artist“  cliché, the movie's charm is its incredible imagination that translates the fantasy into a very real urban Korean portrait, devoid of warmth and intimacy.
