This is a really quick read at less than 50,000 words, but boy does it pack a mean punch. It's heartbreaking how familiar Jiyoung's experiences were (some I personally experienced, others to other women I knew), especially so given that these situations are unfortunately still prevalent even in the 21st century :(
"The world had changed a great deal, but the little rules, contracts, and customs had not, which meant the world hadn't actually changed at all."
