I thoroughly enjoyed ‘Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982’, so ‘Miss Kim Knows’ was bound to be a hit for me ✨
My favourite stories were: ‘Under the Plum Tree’ (about sisterly love ❤️), ‘Runaway’ (which gave me such ‘Please Look After Mother’ vibes) and ‘Dear Hyunnam Oppa’ (about a woman who breaks up with her ex and lists the misogynistic things he does/says during their relationship 👏🏼).
It’s dire how misogyny is so normalised 😫
Cho Nam-joo keeps showcasing her brilliance in her literature. I didn’t love this one or find it as impactful as ‘Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982’ so that’s why I’m giving it 3.5 stars, but I am still a fan of her work. Thank you ✨
