Looking for Kim Jang-mi is a modern Korean retelling inspired by The Great Gatsby—a story of memory, longing, and the quiet truths we often miss.

Our protagonist sets out on a search for a woman from his past—Kim Jang-mi. But as he retraces his steps through old neighborhoods, familiar faces, and distant memories, he begins to question what was real, and what was simply a dream. Set in present-day Korea, this story captures themes of love, illusion, and personal growth with a distinctly Korean rhythm and atmosphere.

Written for Korean learners, this book makes it possible to experience an emotional, layered story while studying at your own level.
