At Least We Can Apologize (Library of Korean Literature, 07)

An apology without meaning is just noise. The book shows how easily we use words to hide our true intentions.

The humor is really dark and uncomfortable. It forces you to laugh at things that are actually quite tragic.

“If we didn't apologize, what else would we do?”

Jin-man and Si-bong spend their lives apologizing for things they didn't do. It shows how guilt can be handed to you until you believe it.

“We provide a service that makes people feel better.”

The way people pay the boys to apologize for them is chilling. It turns a sincere act into a cheap transaction.
