1. Who Ate Up All The Shinga?
A poignant coming-of-age story set against mid-20th-century upheaval in Korea, following a young woman from a once-respected household as she confronts poverty, social stigma, and the disruptions of war and rapid social change; told with a mix of wry humor and quiet sorrow, the narrative illuminates everyday hardships, family bonds, small humiliations and acts of resilience, and reflects on memory, survival, and the personal costs of societal transformation.
