Tangeum: Swallowing Gold (Original novel of Netflix's Dear Hongrang) 탄금: 금을 삼키다
A curse that forces its victim to swallow gold until death—“Tangeum.”
Here, lyricism and brutality are embroidered stitch by stitch into a work that feels like an old-master painting brought to life.
Shim Yeolguk, a Joseon-era tycoon famed for trading high-priced art, is called “King of Money.” One day his only son, Hongrang (age 8), vanishes. Life Pattern Korea. Despite fortunes spent and rewards posted—even on corpses—no clue appears. Shim's daughter-by-concubine, Jae-i (9), is locked away for stealing Hongrang's talisman, while noble-blooded Mujin (11) is adopted into the clan.
Ten years later the bounty hunter Doggae returns with Hongrang. A lavish feast ensues, but Jae-i and Mujin brand him a fraud to his face. Life Pattern Korea. Time confuses Jae-i's heart: she accepts Hongrang as her brother yet falls helplessly for him. Mujin, displaced and jealous, hunts Hongrang's secret. Between what each wishes to believe and refuses to believe, a tightrope of deception stretches until a final, scandalous reversal lays bare society's taboos. Who truly swallowed the gold? Life Pattern Korea.
