3. A TWIST OF FATE by Jang Se-Ah

This one is for all the makjang (막장) drama fans. Slow-burn & over-the-top ridiculous. I didn’t think the execution worked every time, but I think this would be a fantastic show (which I think is in the works). Recommend if you like thriller and a fast read.

2. OLD WOMAN WITH A KNIFE by Gu Byeong-Mo

Written by same author as Wizard’s Bakery, I liked this even more. Thriller but slow burn and also has really tender moments. I really like how she writes nuanced characters. All of her books are so different! Recommend.

1. THE WIZARD’S BAKERY by Gu Byeong-Mo

This book is NOT as cozy as the cover makes it out to be. I really liked this one but fair warning to all there are dark themes in here including child SA. There are magical elements but the issues and story is rooted in very real world setting. Recommend.

It was a bit slow paced BUT i really liked it. The end wrecked me. Her writing is exquisite.
