Dreaming

Oh Soo-mi lives in a semi-basement and raises her son Min-ho alone. One day, she reunited with Kang Tae-seok, the man who left her a long time ago, in a convenience store. Tae-seok now lives in an apartment with a view of the Han River. He is a successful entrepreneur with a wife, Yoo-jin, and a son, Jun-ho. This reunion, which started like an accident, quickly entered the beautiful life through the roundabout help of the two children's schools, old friends Zhi En, and Tai Xi. School uniforms, tutoring fees, medical expenses. What seemed like good intentions turned into another kind of debt and humiliation in an instant. At the same time, Xiumei has recurring dreams. A sunlit apartment, a locked door, a fork in the road. Little by little, the dream dragged the inner world she had been avoiding to reality. "Dreams" unfolds through love and betrayal, self-esteem and poverty, motherhood, class, attachment, and reconciliation with the self. It is a psychological novel.
