Seong-Ji finds the true her in the streets of Seoul at night.
Seong-Ji, a young lady, is excited and nervous about starting college in Seoul. She and her best friend Ji-won promise to keep in contact despite being in different colleges, but the days stretch with no word from Ji-won. Seong-Ji worries about Ji-won in between her college program and a part-time job. During her part-time job, she meets a strange woman who shows her the true wonders of the night. Seong-Ji starts to learn more about herself and her true feelings…
This book was a deep read. It made you think and wonder about what you can see during the night, both mentally and physically. The art style was beautiful and well-done, and the color palette looked like it was done in watercolor. I also learned about the CSAT exam to get into South Korean colleges, where the South Korean government tests you to see which colleges you’re fit to go to.
Seong-Ji was a rational and thoughtful character. It was beautiful to see her character development throughout the story. Ji-won could have been more friendly and a better friend. The woman Seong-Ji met looked like me and had a mysterious personality.
Give this book to people who need inspiration and love to see the wonders the world has in store for us.
