About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
**Soon to be a major Netflix TV series, starring Gong Yoo and Seo Hyun-jin**
Listen to the captivating Korean feminist thriller for fans of KIM JIYOUNG BORN 1982, CONVENIENCE STORE WOMAN and YELLOWFACE.
‘So this is the world we live in, where even spouses can be rented’
Meet Noh Inji: thirty years old, five wedding rings so far, and she’s never once been in love.
When Inji takes a job at Wedding & Life, the popular matchmaking service, she never imagines her role will be with NM, their secretive marriage division that rents out ‘field spouses’ for a fixed period to their elite clientele. Just like a real marriage, Inji’s assignments involve a wedding, some sex and a spot of housework. It’s all tailored exactly to the client’s desires - no legal battles, no fights, no emotional baggage.
In no way is Inji interested in finding real love, because accidents happen when you mistakenly assume that you are somehow special. At NM, love is temporary, which is just how Inji likes it.
When one of Inji’s old husbands, a mysterious high-profile music producer, requests her back for another year of marriage, Inji’s own dark past will begin to unravel – as well as the sinister underbelly of the NM management, who will stop at nothing to preserve their reputation - and that of their wealthiest clients …

i expected more
marketed as Korean "feminism", but reads more like a telenovela with a controversial theme. the narration was not very engaging and i thought the plot was not clearly defined and it did not really make the messages stand out. a bit of a disappointment, since i was looking forward to seeing more feminist fiction from Asia...overall, i was expecting a bit more from it and i felt it did not deliver.
i saw it was made into a TV show, i'm really curious at this point what they did with the story, as a comparison.
