Introduction of the book
✔The Most Loved Korean Novel of 2022
One day, a man named Dokgo, who was homeless at Seoul Station, picks up a woman's wallet in her 70s and works part-time at a convenience store run by her. The bear-like man has alcoholic dementia, which makes him unable to remember the past, speaks vaguely, and acts slowly, making him doubt whether he can handle customers properly. Surprisingly, he not only works pretty well, but also becomes a reliable worker who keeps convenience store nights while strangely captivating people around him.
As a work of a writer who has an opinion of embodying realistic characters and their interactions as a landscape, characters with unique personalities and stories appear in this novel one after another to form a unique relationship. Starting with Ms. Yeom, a convenience store owner who retires from high school and has teacher instincts, Ms. Alba Oh, a job seeker in her 20s, and Mrs. Cham Cham Cham (sesame Ramen, Tuna Gimbap, Chamisul) set every night to relieve stress. Those who each have their own weight and practical problems observe Dokgo from their own perspectives, and the misunderstandings, confrontations, conflicts, reversals, understandings, and empathy that arise in the process often cause laughter and tears to burst into tears at some point. Such a small convenience store in the alleyway is a very uncomfortable place and becomes a special place to comfort and share laughter with a hard life.
