✪ Web series WAY BACK LOVE now available, starring Kim Min-ha, the leading actress of Apple TV+'s Pachingko
✪ When P.S. I LOVE YOU meets the Korean drama THE GUARDIAN, starring Gong Yoo

IIn Korea, there’s a belief that the Grim Reaper appears in the form of someone you love the most, calling your name with the voice you long to hear, before taking you away.

Hui-wan can’t believe her eyes when she sees her childhood crush Ram-wu stand in front of her again— since he has died in a car accident to save her six years ago. Ever since his death, Hui-wan has been drowning in guilt and grief. Yet now, he suddenly returns as a messenger from the underworld.

Ram-wu warns Hui-wan that she, too, is fated to die painfully in a car accident in seven days. However, he offers her a peaceful early death if she calls his name three times. Hui-wan hesitates, longing for more time with him, and the two end up spending her final week together. Determined to make every moment count, Ram-wu decides to create a bucket list for her— a chance to truly live before it's too late.

Intertwining past and present, A WEEK BEFORE I DIE unfolds a heart-wrenching tale of love, loss, regret, and hope in a diary-like format. Through the voices of Hui-wan, Ram-wu, his mother, and their friends, the novel transcends its romantic core and becomes a soothing letter to those who have survived and those still healing from loss.
