“As Kim Byung-ik said in his commentary on the first edition in 1995, “Why does she sift through life's disgraces, cruelly throwing their painful fates in front of us?”, The Love of Yeosu makes us all go through a time of reviving memories that we have abandoned and erased, not just the author herself. We've made our own way through life, but when we look back, it's a painful awakening to realize that we've been living with the scars of being human. It's not always pleasant to be reminded of the twenty years I abandoned. However, the memories of the poor and stuck times will energize the self that gives the 'me' who has endured the hard times the strength to live again. This is why 『Love in Yeosu』 was reborn.
The works of Han Kang have been enthusiastically received by both critics and readers alike for their profound exploration of human nature through the author’s delicate yet powerful writing style.
한강의 초기 작품들은 주로 불행한 가족사나 트라우마와 같은 개인의 문제에 집중되어 있다. 그러나 2014년에 출간한 장편소설 《소년이 온다》 이후 작가의 관점이 역사적 사건으로 확장되었다.
