its so good it follows this woman young-sook who was born in like the 20’s and follows her life and friendship with Mi-ja on Jeju throughout the world war, colonisation and the north/south korea fight and it is beautiful and wrecks your heart and i cried so many times. It is beautifully written and haunting.
