I loved this, despite living through so much, things turn out well for the family. The story of Koreans in Japan through colonisation, WW2, post war and up until the 80s, despite terrible things that happen they live a good life, and love each other in a way that feels very comforting. <spolier> I found myself worrying constantly that things would go badly, but despite death, suicide, racism and prejudice, they Sunja's family thrive.
