Gu Mo-ryong (Literary Critic) –When a microscopic analysis is done with a sensitively refined eye, then all aspects of the city one lives in can be delineated in a very fresh and condensed way. No matter where one lives, when you have the artistic spirit with which you try to understand the details of lives there, then it is possible to tell worthy stories.
