Kim Ryeoryeong김려령

Kim’s work generally focuses on adolescent issues. Kim's characters are extremely typical, ordinary neighbors one might run into in any alley, but on taking a closer look they reveal hard-earned scars. The source of each character's wound is hidden behind their bittersweet smiles. Kim suggests that even the saddest life is not has its moments of sunshine. Kim also aims implicit criticism at people content with themselves, who achieve their success by trampling on others.[1] She has won multiple prizes for her writing including the Munhak Dongne Children's Literature Prize in 2007 for A Seahorse Lives in My Heart, Ma Hae-song Literary Award in 2007 for The Child Who Brought Memories, and Changbi Prize for Young Adult Fiction in 2007 for Wandeuk.[4] Wandeuk was immediately successful with readers,[5] and was declared the best novel of the year in an online poll conducted by bookstore Aladdin, Internet blog portal Egloos and Allblog.[6] The book went on to sell more than 700,000 copies, and was made into a successful film in 2011, titled Punch for its foreign release.[7] Another novel, Elegant Lies (2009), was adapted into the 2014 film Thread of Lies directed by Lee Han, the same director behind Punch.[8]
