The House on Jeju Island - South Korea: A novel for those who dare to blossom.

"Sometimes, to find yourself, you must get lost."

In the bustling heart of Seoul, life moves at a relentless "ppalli-ppalli" pace, leaving souls weary and burdened. For four women teetering on the brink of collapse, a single advertisement becomes a beacon: a traditional stone house for rent on Jeju Island, a place where the sea is a breathtaking blue and time seems to slow to a sacred rhythm.

Park Ji-hye, a corporate lawyer, invisible in her chaebol marriage, silently suffocates under societal expectations. Lee Eun-hye, a pastor's wife, performs a piety she no longer feels, yearning for authentic faith. Kim Yu-na, a beauty influencer, is shattered by public cancellation and the loss of her reputation. Choi Myung-hee, a widow, remains trapped by the ghost of a corrupt husband's legacy.

What begins as a practical scheme to divide expenses transforms into an unpredictable journey. Jeju is more than a destination; it is a portal. Through quiet introspection, mindful moments, and shared vulnerabilities, these strangers find solace not just in the island's serene beauty, but in each other. They discover that true peace is a comforting embrace, and that spiritual renewal blooms in the quiet corners of the heart. As their bond deepens, they confront their pasts and reclaim their true selves.

The House on Jeju Island is a profoundly moving story about the weight we carry and the lightness we lack. It's about what happens when fear paralyzes us-and the quiet miracle that can arise when, finally, we dare to fall.
