What is The Table: Day and Night about?
Set during the transition from summer to autumn, The Table: Day and Night portrays the witty, subtle, and endearing conversations of four couples who happen to meet at the same café at different times of the day.
The film follows the casual encounter between Yoo Jin (Kim Min Ha) and Hyeon Oh (Joo Jong Hyuk), who visit the establishment at different times; the unexpected reunion between Sang Mi (Han Sun Hwa) and Young Min (Chang Ryul), former high school tutoring classmates; the fiery first meeting between Hye Jin (Shim Eun Kyung), a web novel writer, and Dong Nam (Lee Hee Joon), an independent filmmaker; and the bittersweet moments between aspiring idol Na Kyeong (Jeon So Young) and her boyfriend Jong Su (Kim Dong Hwi).
