El que fem bé és demanar perdó

Synopsis of El que fem bé és demanar perdó

A psychiatric hospital on the outskirts of a South Korean city closes down following allegations of illegal confinement. The narrator and his companion, Sibong, two inmates who had grown accustomed to institutional life, are suddenly forced to navigate the outside world. Realizing their only skill, besides enduring beatings, is apologizing, they launch an unusual business that leads them into an urban odyssey filled with eccentric characters. This novel, infused with caustic, distinctly Korean humor, is a sharp portrait of the fringes of a highly competitive and stratified society. Lee Ki-ho emerges as a relentless chronicler of the darker side of South Korean life, delivering a work that is as violent as it is funny, with a light appearance that masks profound social depth.
