Review: Underrated Poetry - I’m so glad I found this book. The poetry is poignant and profound without being too sappy. You don’t need to understand poetry to understand this book. The style is similar to Rupi Kaur books - simple, short, not too lyrical but not too bland. They also have similar themes - family, love, etc. That being said, I think Noona Luna is more insightful, but it’s just a matter of taste. This book is good to read at the end of a stressful day just to unwind. Reading a poem from this book is like taking a deep breath and relaxing. This is an excerpt from the first poem, with my rough translation. (It sounds prettier in the original Korean): “널 사랑해서 나의 눈에 특별해 보이는 걸까” Are you special in my eyes because I love you? “넌 모두에게 특별해서 내가 사랑에 빠진 걸까” Am I falling in love with you because you’re special to everyone? “옆의 남자들의 눈에도 넌 특별한 걸까” I wonder if you’re special in the eyes of the men next to you, too. I think most of us can relate to these words. Oh Hoon puts poetic style to everyday experiences and makes them seem more beautiful. He also infuses melancholy, hope, and nostalgia into each page. That’s talent. Review: Beautiful Poetry - Really great poems for and easy read. It is nice to practice reading Korean with this book. The reading comprehension level isn’t too hard, and the themes are generally very simple. The poetry itself is also very beautiful. Poet Hoon Oh is very talented. Simple yet impactful.

I'm so happy!
I'm so happy that I finally bought this book!!! I've been working on my Korean for years now and even though I don't quite understand everything yet, it's helping my reading and speaking and pronunciation! I've been eyeing this book for years now too, and I'm so glad I finally got it! I highly recommend, it's absolutely gorgeous

Better than I expected
Less than 200 pages, filled with poems in Korean language. Some of the provoked reflections. It's not super complicated to read, good option to enrich vocabulary too. The material and quality of the book are also in optimal conditions.

Pretty
I wish they had a hardcover version because this book is so pretty. The writings are almost cliche but not quite. It’s a good relaxing read though.

Beautiful
I bought this as I am learning Korean and wanted something to challenge me on the interpretation side. These are short poems perfect for that. But more that than, there are some beautiful words in it!
