Isak dying was genuinely not on my bingo card even though they’ve been mentioning that he’s sickly since we met him 😭

Yes I did cry when Sunja was reunited with her mother, that was so beautifully drawn out oh my goodness

Though Joseph was about to die there too but no

Still do not really trust Hansu but unfortunately he’s genuinely saving the lives of this entire family, all cause Noah is a boy

Done with Book 1!

Realizing that all these characters I’ve grown to love and appreciate are gonna die soon after the next generation starts…

Isak and Sunja becoming parents though is so cute, and Sunja sister-in-law is so doting, I’m hoping this baby has a good upbringing

“You’re all I have. Now I have nothing.”
NO SUNJA DON’T LEAVE STAY WITH YOUR MOTHER FOREVER

Wow Sunja arriving in Osaka and then seeing everything is actually significantly worse for Koreans and not as wealthy as she’d thought while in Busan also hits as the reader

The pastor warning Sunja that her actions in Japan reflect on all Koreans

This is gonna be a long one and I’m so ready

Killing the first main character you introduce within the first chapter you introduce them in is crazy work and I’m about to be so devastated

I really appreciate the easy flow between summary and how much the author grounds Korean history in the moment the family is living in

It already seems like a theme of spoil versus hard work is emerging
