The translation was pretty good and the story development is also well. The only problem I have with the story is the old timeline. The book starts out with the MC growing up in North Korea I think. Due to the war they evacuated south and got split with some of their family. Im not Korean so I dont know the history of the nation, but I remember the war started a couple decades ago so when I looked it up, its 1950 while NK became a nation at 1945. Another signifying thing of the timeline is that the mother constantly listens to Elvis and another singer, which is also a couple of decades ago. I dont mind a book in the past like this, but with the cover image showing a modern place and a modern hairstyle/clothing, I was totally expecting a modern world. Also the 60s/70s r too many years ago. Not only am I not Korean, but it was a couple of decades before I was born so I honestly dont know any famous people other than Elvis, not to mention songs ortm things in Korea. I ended up dropping this due to the timeline
