Baek Sehee is a successful young social media director at a publishing
house when she begins seeing a psychiatrist about her - what to call it?
-
depression? She feels persistently low, anxious, endlessly
self-doubting, but also highly judgmental of others. She hides her
feelings well at work and with friends, performing the calmness her
lifestyle demands. The effort is exhausting, overwhelming, and keeps her
from forming deep relationships.
This can't be normal. But if
she's so hopeless, why can she always summon a yen for her favorite
street food: the hot, spicy rice cake, tteokbokki? Is
this just what life is like?
