K-ROMANCE
Book Summary
A romantic comedy that crosses borders and defies K-drama clichés. India, a Spaniard passionate about Korean series, decides to sell everything to move to Seoul and live out her own fictional romance. What she finds isn't a teen drama, but Ji Seok, a mysterious neighbor hiding a lethal secret. Between cultural misunderstandings, impossible mothers-in-law, and an unexpected attraction, this novel blends humor, tension, and romance with a touch of danger. A story for those who know that real love doesn't follow a script.
What is it about?
India has watched enough K-dramas to know that true love exists, it just happens in Seoul. With nothing to lose, she sells all her belongings and moves to South Korea hoping to find a fairytale romance. But reality is very different from the series: mothers-in-law are just as fearsome, misunderstandings multiply, and to top it all off, her neighbor Ji Seok is no typical leading man. He is a Korean mafia boss, a man who has sworn never to fall in love again. Despite their differences, the chemistry between them is immediate, but danger lurks. Can a resourceful Spaniard win the heart of a mobster? Or is her life's script about to take a tragic turn?
