Born in 1982

In the novel, "Kim Ji Young" lives in a small apartment in the suburbs of the Korean capital, Seoul. She quietly crosses her thirties, her marriage is stable, and she recently left her job to care for her newborn daughter — as is expected of Korean women. But behind this quiet life, strong waves crash inside our heroine's soul; Kim's circumstances quickly change as she stays at home for longer periods, and she begins to assume the personalities of other women. As she delves deeper into this state, her loving husband begins his journey with her to understand the reasons and find a way out of it, a journey that holds many surprises for him — and for us.
