When Baek Se-Hee, a young and accomplished social media director at a publishing business, starts seeing a physician about her sadness, what should we name it? She always feels depressed, nervous, and self-conscious, and she is also quite critical of other people. She's good at hiding her emotions from coworkers and friends, and she can maintain the composure and even ease that her lifestyle requires. It is burdensome and grueling work, and it prevents her from developing meaningful connections. This is not typical. However, if she's really hopeless, how come she can't seem to get over her infatuation with her go-to street meal—the fiery, scorching tteokbokki? Is this the only way life works? Over a 12-week period, Baek records her conversations with her psychiatrist in order to start breaking free from the negative behaviors, reflexive responses, and feedback loops that keep her trapped in a cycle of self-abuse.
