The Good Son

About

You wake up covered in blood. There's a body downstairs. It's your mother's. You don't remember what happened. Yu-jin is a model student, a dutiful son, a young man everyone considers kind and reliable. But as he pieces together the events of the previous night, the person who emerges from the gaps in his memory is someone he doesn't recognize — or someone he's been refusing to see. You-Jeong Jeong constructs her thriller as a puzzle of identity, where the mystery isn't whodunit but what kind of person the protagonist actually is. The tension comes not from external threat but from the dawning realization that the danger has been inside the house all along. A psychological thriller that turns the good-son archetype inside out — and makes you wonder how well anyone really knows the people they love.
