  1. 1. 8 Lives Of A Century Old Trickster

    A centenarian with a trickster’s flair recounts eight reinventions across 20th‑century Korea, navigating Japanese occupation, war, and national division by slipping into new identities whenever survival demands it. Told through shifting voices that blur truth and myth, her kaleidoscopic confessions probe memory, morality, and the costs of resilience, revealing how wit, deception, and stubborn will can carry a person through a century of upheaval.
