There was only one thing on her mind.
I must start a bookshop.
Yeong-ju did everything she was supposed to, go to university, marry a decent man, get a respectable job. Then it all fell apart. Burned out, Yeong-ju abandons her old life, quits her high-flying career, divorces her husband, and follows her dream. She opens a bookshop.
In a quaint neighbourhood in Seoul, surrounded by books, Yeong-ju and her customers take refuge. From the lonely barista to the unhappily married housewife, and the writer who sees something special in Yeong-ju - they all have disappointments in their past. The Hyunam-Dong Bookshop becomes the place where they all learn how to truly live.
Welcome to the Hyunam-Dong Bookshop is a heart-warming story about finding comfort and acceptance in your life - and the healing power of books.
