At the Noodle Cart: Korean edition [April 2020] An AI fortunetelling service called Manxin boasts a surprisingly high level of accuracy. In a world where most people deify and have blind faith in Manxin, Seonho and Garam, who have their own pain and secrets, search for its developer. Contrary to their expectations, they discover the true nature of Manxin. Manxin questions life and the essence of humankind through people who are, ironically, obsessed with the black arts rather than science, and others, who refuse the given path, anxiously seek the truth in a time of advanced AI, which accurately predicts the future to a large extent. Although we don’t know where our time is leading, isn’t it possible for human beings to live out their given time in blissful ignorance? (Source: bifan.kr) Edit Translation

MAY OUR LORD MANXIN BE WITH YOU?
What if there is a fortune-telling application that can predict 96.3% accurately? The episode starts with A company called Pricon a fortune-telling program, The name of the fortune-telling program is Manxin. Almost everyone in South Korea is dependant on this app. No daily lives can go without people finding out how their day is going to be like. I love the opening song. It's a song by I MONSTER titled Daydream In Blue. It fits so well with the scene.
To Sun Wo (Lee Yeon Hee) lost her sister because of an accident and later finds out Manxin has something do with it. She starts looking for the creator of Manxin and finds out shocking things. Along with her Jung Da Ram (Lee Dong Hwi), A Manxin believer follows, He wants to find out who is the man behind Manxin. To Sun Wo doesn't believe in Manxin's predictions but Jung Da Ram is a hardcore believer. Together they go through a lot of shocking stuff to find out who Manxin is.
The acting was amazing. I love how raw Lee Yeon Hee's acting is. I really want her north star jacket. She looks damn good. Lee Dong Hwi's acting is a killer, his acting is flawless as usual. I loved his hairstyle, I need to get one like that. The story is complicated but it was directed very simple. I wanted more but there is not much room in the episode.
Manxin's ending was beautifully cremated. It doesn't end like how "The Prayer" ended. I couldn't predict the ending at all. I loved how smooth and simple it ended for a complicated story.

Manxin had interesting cinematography, and refreshing camerawork and quirky editing. However, the story was not enough to fill up the length of the episode. It was also not well explained and sometimes it got confusing to follow.
