Yeongju did everything she was supposed to, go to university, marry a decent
man, get a respectable job. Then it all fell apart. Burned out, Yeongju abandons
her old life, quits her high-flying career, and follows her dream. She opens a
bookshop. In a quaint neighbourhood in Seoul, surrounded by books, Yeongju and
her customers take refuge. From the lonely barista to the unhappily married
coffee roaster, and the writer who sees something special in Yeongju - they all
have disappointments in their past. The Hyunam-dong Bookshop becomes the place
where they all learn how to truly live. A heart-warming story about finding
comfort and acceptance in your life - and the healing power of books.
