Chayen

In his tumultuous life, Seoyoon Moon has faced many adversities including his mother’s death, his father’s infidelity and giving up the only thing he loves—his piano—but one thing he is grateful for is Yeonjae Woo, his best friend. In an unexpected twist of fate, Seoyoon has developed feelings for Yeonjae’s best friend; however, Yeonjae currently has a girlfriend. However, Yeonjae likes to toy with their boundaries by crossing the line into something more than just friends.

The cover of Seoyoon’s Korean novel has the title “Sun Show”, which is it’s English title. (The cover does not have a Korean title; only the author’s name.)

Soohyeon has a quiet and simple life in the rural countryside, running a small general store and gardening to develop a simple, homey atmosphere, but her world is turned upside down at the news of a luxury hotel plan; this new hotel project is to be developed by Taeyeon, who appears to be the complete opposite of anything you’d expect a construction manager to look like; he appears to be an intimidating gangster boss type instead. After hearing that all of the grandmas in the village have warned Soohyeon not to engage with him at all, Soohyeon continues to be unafraid of him and doesn’t let his attempts at bribing Soohyeon with sweet treats affect him in any way; instead, she remains strong. Their personalities couldn’t be more different, and when an unexpected incident causes her biggest secret to come out, their personalities clash so much that they create an unanticipated mixture of sweetness, spiceness, and chaos that neither one anticipated.
