An Intimate Stranger (Coupang Play's Anna) 친밀한 이방인
Having not written a novel for seven years, the novelist 'I' finds an interesting advertisement in the newspaper one day. There is a part of a novel on the front of the newspaper, along with the phrase "I'm looking for the person who wrote this book." I, who was reading a novel without thinking, falls into shock. The novel was submitted to a literary contest without telling anyone before I debuted, and I had completely forgotten it after losing the contest.
After contacting the newspaper to stop advertising, an unexpected person calls me. It was Jin, a woman who was looking for her husband who went missing six months ago. Surprisingly, Jin says her husband posed as the author of the novel in the advertisement. The husband's lies were again. Her husband, who she thought was a novelist, was actually a woman, and she lived a life marked with lies even before she met Jin.
The mysterious person Yu-mi served as a school paper editor at a university that failed to pass. She did not even go to music school, but served as a professor of piano. She worked as a doctor without a license. She also lived as the wife of three different men and the husband of a woman. I gradually felt a strong curiosity about Yu-mi's life. And I think I'll be able to start writing the novel again as I track down her life.
