PRAISE for
Promise Season

‘Kdrama in a book!! This ravishly weaved sageuk Romance had me zoned out from reality and into the compelling life of the elegantly bold Jang Seorin and I couldn’t help but savor every bit of it! Absolutely recommended for anyone who loves a good mystery romance.’

Rating: 5 out of 5.

Alia, Goodreads

PRAISE for
Promise Thief

‘A highly entertaining historical fiction novel! I really enjoyed this book, and while Chungjo was not likeable at first, she draws you in. She is a complex character who makes you want to keep reading to find out what happens to her. I’m looking forward to the next “Promise” book!’

Rating: 5 out of 5.

Sam, Amazon

PRAISE for
A Song for Lonely Wolves

‘A beautifully evocative story and engaging mystery that draws you in from the first page to the last. I was thoroughly fascinated with the world of Damos, female servants of the police in the Joseon era who acted as detectives in a time when the role of women was secondary to men. Highly recommended!’

Rating: 5 out of 5.

BOOK REVIEW: Women and Confucianism in Choson Korea: New Perspectives

May 9, 2021

Topics touched on in the book included female Neo-Confucianist scholars, widows, slaves, the ideal virtuous woman of the time and what was expected of her, information on educational texts to teach Confucianist ideals to women and also a fascinating essay on how the Imjin War (a devastating invasion of Joseon Korea in 1592, which lasted years) and the subsequent Manchu invasions (of which I know much less!) really changed the way society engaged with Confucianism in the latter half of the Joseon dynasty.⁠ … More BOOK REVIEW: Women and Confucianism in Choson Korea: New Perspectives

KOREAN DRAMA REVIEW: You From Another star.

May 2, 2021

You From Another Star is a 2014 romcom fantasy (with a lot of angst at the end!) Kdrama, starring Kim Soo Hyun and Jun Ji-Hyun, Yoo Inna and Park Hae-jin. I both loved and sort of didn’t love this drama, but mostly I really enjoyed it! It has this whimsical and romantic dreaminess to its story and particularly to the character of Kim Soo-hyun’s alien, Min Joon, who manages to be mysterious, damaged and disconnected, yet also deliciously and amusingly jealous and petty too. And of course our female lead Song-yi is just incredible, crazy, hilarious and strong, yet also fragile and vulnerable too. … More KOREAN DRAMA REVIEW: You From Another star.
