  • Tucked away in the mountainous city of Yeoju, Korea, lies a picturesque cafe that looks like it came out of a Studio Ghibli movie. Cafe Yeoju specializes in serving freshly made seasonal cakes, desserts, and drinks in a beautiful, outdoor green space. Everything is freshly made, from scratch, every single day by the owner, Yoon Dahee, and her two staff. Having always been fascinated with the cafe culture in Korea, I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to spend a whole day with her at the most beautiful cafe I've ever seen.
    Thank you, it still feels like a dream (:

    Once again, the magically talented Yuang Chen continues to impress with his sublime music. Thank you for letting me paint some of my dream scenes.

    Lastly, thank you to my translator, Philip, for making this video possible. Making videos in non-English languages is really important to me, especially when so many incredible food places exist around the world.

    I could not be more thrilled to work with Alvin again to provide music for his newest film exploring exquisite food and the extraordinary people behind it!

  • @alvinzhoufilms

    Lots of influences in this one, especially from my favorite anime, games, music, and movies.

  • @Dexter26958

    This short film was an absolute masterclass of a documentary. The aesthetic, the cinematography, the b-roll shots framing the entire café, the edit, THE MUSIC(!!!)

  • @robcuiper1965

    Dude, she has 13 hour work days, every day? Doing all the prep work alone? Massive respect, she really puts her heart into it!

  • @huntakilla1234

    Video is beautiful. I am, however, quite sad for Dahee that she's overworking herself to the point where she's suffering from chronic shoulder & neck pain, and has to visit the hospital a lot for that. Takes no break during busy days, and has no social life. Dahee, if you happen to read this, there is more to life than just work. You deserve friendships, free time, and to experience more of all the things life has to offer.

  • @Raphmatic5000

    The scene when she was making the cake and talking about how she empties her mind and the music plays... so perfect. I love your work Alvin!

    BABE WAKE UP, NEW ALVIN ZHOU FILM

  • @swiftcrayon

    Thank you, Alvin. From the bottom of my heart. For a brief, but wonderfully magical escape from the busy world we live in.

  • @joejo6690

    I may sound like I'm overexaggerating but this video is the definition of falling in love. From the way you insert her voice at ordinary moments yet one can feel the intimacy, the way the music starts silent then reaches a climax, the way you angle the camera as if we are little garden fairies watching over her, and even the way you focus at the furniture in the cafe! Like I cannot totally explain the emotions I felt watching this video, but it just brought complete joy to my heart.

    Honestly, better than most food docs on Netflix. Thanks for this Alvin.

    Honestly one of the best creators on CZcams. Your videos take a while to release due to how long and well edited they are but are always worth the wait and the watch.

    honestly everytime i watch one of alvin's videos, i feel like crying because I'm so moved by EVERYTHING. the content, video quality, music.. thank you to the whole team!

  • @bloodfireow7380

    This is such a nice lady and her cafe looks beautiful. Your videos make me respect these people so much more, which I am really grateful for.

  • @ILLogical436

    This video has caused me to post my first ever CZcams comment after years of using this platform. It was transcendent. The cinematography and music choice was on point. My soul left my body as I watched this video, and I can only wish to see the world through Alvin's camera lens. I love this man and his videos. Koreeaaa!

  • @stormie6173

    Love the Sad Machine edit. So special ✨

    This video felt so magical, Alvin you have this special power like you imbue things you make with a magical spell. This feels like ghibli film, they feel similar in the magical sense, but you have your own individuality. This wasn’t like a Miyazaki film, it was an Alvin film.

  • @jacksondavisTV

    Your minimalist style beautifully complements their modern rustic aesthetic. Take a bow, Alvin!

  • @waylonrust6787

    The shot of her window in the kitchen with the dialogue about the seasons with the music was probably the best 45 seconds of youtube and film in general I have ever seen

  • @GreenMonkeySam

    Yoon Dahee is such a beautiful person. Inside and out. She finds peace and happiness in everyday things around her, and it's contagious. Her warmth brought me to tears right about here
