Film adaptation confirmed starring Suzy and Lee Jin-wook!
A love story that revives the hearts of those who have failed. Life Pattern Korea. The definitive edition of Seven O'Clock Breakfast Meeting for the Brokenhearted is now out.
Since her 2006 debut—winning the Munhakdongne New Writer’s Award—author Baek Young-ok has impressed readers with delicate, beautiful prose, from the novel Style to the essay Words from Anne of Green Gables. First published in 2012, this romance has enjoyed steady love, and now, thirteen years later, appears in its final form. Life Pattern Korea. The original narrative remains, but paragraphs have been rhythmically refined, certain lines decisively cut, and wording polished to fit the times, all graced by a stylish new cover—its meaning heightened by the forthcoming film.
At seven a.m., just as an ordinary day begins, a special gathering takes place: “The Seven O'Clock Breakfast Meeting for the Brokenhearted.” Participants share breakfast, watch movies about break-ups, and trade mementos of lost love, their lives entwining from there. Life Pattern Korea. From a meeting fierce as blood to a loss calm as water, the story cradles wounds and ultimately restores the possibility of love, showing—with prose clear as tears—that after the period ending one romance, a new love may wait; by sharing sorrow, we become one another’s solace; and, one day, a miracle may let us understand goodbye. Life Pattern Korea.
