Yepnamm-Dong's Smiley Laundromat sounds very lovely 🌹. My experience with books about Korean people consists of The Year of Impossible Goodbyes and its sequel White Giraffe, Pachinko, and Crying in H Mart. They are all very good, but I'm pretty sure they were all written in English. I definitely agree 💯 with your comments regarding translation.
what a lovely review! another one of shanna tan's cozy translations :) have you read Welcome to the Hyunam-dong Bookshop? i quite liked that one as well!

Not one of the books you mentioned have I read, which is good, because I can add them to my list. Thanks for the recommendations!!!
Awesome. I have a note on part of Pachinko, but it was on everyone's list when it came out. 😍
