Quiet-day OTT café near Sports Complex Station: iced tea, One Play

When you're hanging out in Jamsil on a date or with friends, going to a café or restaurant every single time gets a little old, right? This time I went to One Play Jamsil Branch (원플레이 잠실점), a Jamsil manga café where you can read manga, play Nintendo and board games, and just spend time comfortably.

It's near Jamsil Baseball Stadium, so it's a good stop before or after a game, and I liked that it's an indoor activity you can enjoy whatever the weather.

Resting with OTT on the 3-hour iced tea plan: my review

I used the 3-hour plan with iced tea at One Play Jamsil Branch! On the price list, 3 hours + a drink is the Snowflake plan (₩14,900).

You can also watch OTT (streaming) content at One Play!

The listed services included Netflix, Tving, Disney+, Wavve, Watcha, Apple TV+, YouTube and more.

It was a day when I just wanted to rest quietly, and spending the time watching my favorite movies and dramas was so nice!

It's not just a place to read manga; the biggest strength of One Play, I think, is that you can spend your time in different ways depending on your taste. If you're looking for somewhere in Jamsil to hang out comfortably for a long time, give One Play Jamsil Branch a visit!
