got 117 pages in on 1/1/24, and temporarily DNF'd.
came back to it in april and managed to get to page 214. but... DNF'd again... when i'm in the moment reading this book, it is fine. most of the stories have a melancholy vibe and i do like the 'war and peace' section. zero motivation to pick it up...
finally finished it on 5/4/24. this book drained me. some stories were good (time for you and me was obvs the best story) but overall it was such a meh reading experience.
also this book does not use the revised romanisation of Korean which threw me off so much lmao
