Description 작품 소개
My Sweet City is a novel that illustrates the view on romance and marriage that the younger generation Koreans have, through JEONG’s unconventional literary style, vivid expressions and graphic sensibilities. This novel was serialized for six months in the Chosunilbo, which is the most widely published newspaper in Korea, and gave unconventional “joy in reading” to readers who were used to or sick of existing novel styles at the time, and drew many positive responses. “I” am an unmarried, thirty one-year-old woman. I work at a private report editing company. I am greatly fearful of the fact that the moment I choose something in my life, responsibility comes with it. On the day of my ex-boyfriend’s wedding, I spent an impulsive night with Tae-Oh, a man whom I sat with by chance at a drinking party. Tae-Oh, who is seven years younger than I, is a young man with no job, who dreams of becoming a movie director. I loved Tae-Oh and we even lived together, but when I thought about a future with him, my mind became inevitably depressed and fuzzy. After having had a fight with Tae[1]Oh and breaking up with him, I had a relationship with KIM Yeong-Su, a man I met through a matchmaker. Yeong-Su seemed like a stable and normal man who would be perfect as a partner in marriage, but somehow I felt he was hiding something. After leaving the company, I felt like I was trapped in a dead-end alley, and after much hesitation, I proposed to Yeong-Su. Yeong-Su, after that, suddenly disappeared without a trace...
