Ein Buch, das man in Zeiten der Dunkelheit zur Hand nehmen sollteBaek Sehee ist eine erfolgreiche junge Angestellte in der Social-Media-Abteilung eines großen Verlagshauses. Doch trotz ihrer Erfolge fühlt sie sich ständig niedergedrückt, ängstlich, zweifelt an sich selbst und urteilt über andere. Bei der Arbeit und im Freundeskreis kann sie ihre Gefühle gut verbergen; sie ist geübt darin, die Gelassenheit und Leichtigkeit auszustrahlen, die das Leben ihr abverlangt. Aber diese Fassade aufrechtzuerhalten ist unfassbar anstrengend und hindert sie daran, tiefe Beziehungen einzugehen. Zugleich: Wenn doch alles so hoffnungslos erscheint, warum hat Baek dann dennoch immer wieder Lust auf ihr Lieblingsstraßenessen, den scharfen, würzigen Reiskuchen Tteokbokki? Baek fragt sich, ob mehr dahintersteckt, und sie entschließt sich, einen Psychologen aufzusuchen. Kann sie aus dem Kreislauf ihres selbstzerstörerischen Verhaltens ausbrechen? Indem sie ihre Gespräche mit ihrem Psychologen über einen Zeitraum von 12 Wochen aufzeichnet, beginnt Baek, die Rückkopplungsschleifen, Kurzschlussreaktionen und selbstschädigenden Verhaltensweisen zu entwirren, die sie gefangen halten. 'Ich will sterben, aber Tteokbokki essen will ich auch' ist ein Buch, das man in Zeiten der Dunkelheit zur Hand nehmen sollte.
