Dear Librarians,

A Romeo and Juliet live in married bliss. That's how Gui-yong and Eum-chun enjoy life in Korea in 1949. Soon, they must accept the unthinkable — invite a woman into their home to bear them a necessary male child. Their five-year-old daughter, Mi-na, knows her being a girl has caused the disaster. The Korean War breaks out and tears flesh and souls. The separated couple wage a war to keep their love ablaze.
