Yang ui silsu
Description:
Yu-yang, a web designer with six years of experience and an annual salary of 28 million won, suddenly becomes a target for an assassin on the day she quits her dead-end job. A stranger she encounters by the seaside aims for her throat without hesitation. As her carotid artery is pierced and blood gushes out, Yu-yang should have died--yet she opens her eyes to find herself still alive. Though she has neither breath nor pulse, she can still walk, speak, and think. "The Sheep's Mistake" begins with this shocking opening scene, instantly drawing the reader into an unfamiliar world. Confronting the killer who took her life, Yu-yang demands to know why she was targeted. Dan-hwa, the woman who killed her, reveals that she intended to assume Yu-yang's identity. Upon learning that she was targeted at someone's behest and that Dan-hwa had spent a long time studying her, Yu-yang makes a surprising proposal: if Dan-hwa uncovers who ordered the hit, she will formally hand over her identity. Their journey to track down the figures who had plagued Yu-yang's otherwise unremarkable life becomes stained with ugly human desires and harrowing screams. Along the way, the secrets held by both Yu-yang and Dan-hwa are gradually laid bare. Is it truly impossible to preserve one's dignity while struggling desperately to survive? Ultimately, while following the conventions of a genre thriller, "The Sheep's Mistake" persistently questions the nature of human identity. Beyond the thrill of uncovering the truth, readers are confronted with fundamental questions: What does it mean to live a life? What does it mean to exist as a human being?
