Read the pageturning Korean feminist thriller for fans of KIM JIYOUNG BORN 1982 and CONVENIENCE STORE WOMAN – soon to be a major Netflix Original TV Series starring Gong Yoo from SQUID GAMES and Seo Hyun-jin
Meet Noh Inji: thirty years old, with five wedding rings so far, and she’s never once been in love.
When Inji takes a job at Wedding & Life, the popular matchmaking service, she never imagines role will be with NM, their secretive marriage division that rents out ‘field husbands and wives’ to their wealthiest clientele for a limited time. Just like a real marriage, Inji’s assignments involve a wedding, some sex and a bit of housework, there is even a special helpline in case of any DV. It’s all tailored exactly to the client’s desires – no legal battles, no fights, no emotional baggage.
In no way is Inji interested in finding real love, despite everyone trying to convince her otherwise- her brazen neighbour Granny, her flirtatious best friend Shi-jeong, and her failed blind date, Tae-seong.
Then one of Inji’s old husbands, a mysterious high-profile music producer, requests her back for another year. Soon Inji’s own dark past will begin to unravel – as well as the sinister underbelly of the NM’s management team, who will stop at nothing to preserve their reputation – and that of their clients.
