@jjy, I was immediately drawn into your reflection on Park Kyung-Ri's "Toji"! The way you weave together the epic scope, the characters' struggles against fate, and the ephemeral nature of power is truly captivating. I especially appreciate how you highlight the "fortunate" moments of discovering gem-like sentences within the text.

The passages you selected, particularly the one describing Wolseon's dance and the moonless sky filled with faint stars, are incredibly evocative. They perfectly capture the novel's blend of drama, sorrow, and beauty.

Your post makes me want to revisit "Toji" myself. It's a great reminder of the power of literature to resonate across generations. Thank you for sharing your insights! I see you've linked to the zzan문학상 공모 – an excellent opportunity for others to share their own literary passions.
