About this listen
When Dahee Shin was nine years old, she made a promise to protect her favorite cousin, Channing, who has always been like a sister to her. Now, at thirty, Dahee has found herself in a Korean American community in a New England beach town, once more running to the rescue of her debt-ridden relative.
Ever the idealist, Channing—who has spent her life haunted by the tragic story of Chunhyang and Mongryong, Korea’s parallel Romeo & Juliet—has fallen in love with Minjae Oh, all the while fending off the advances of powerful, manipulative Kent Cho, a local politician. As Channing and Minjae’s romance blossoms, and as Kent's suspicion and obsession grow, Dahee begins to realize that it may be up to her to make sure her cousin and beloved escape Chunhyang and Mongryong’s doomed end.
For fans of Hello Beautiful, Dreamt I Found You is a wondrous, tender retelling of Korea's most classic love story, steeped in the travails of a rigid class system, the power of premonition, and shot through with Korean folklore and magic.
Critic Reviews
“I love Jimin Han’s writing about the Korean diaspora—I will read anything she writes!”—Marie Myung-Ok Lee, author of The Evening Hero
“An utterly captivating retelling of Korea’s most renowned love story, Jimin Han has refreshed the narrative for our modern times. Dreamt I Found You deftly navigates the pursuit of love and truth against the backdrop of 21st century surveillance, racism, and the powers of social media. With the pacing of a mystery and the pull of a star-crossed romance, this novel and its characters gripped me to the very end.”—Crystal Hana Kim, author of The Stone Home
“With wisdom, tenderness, and grace, Jimin Han captures the riveting travails of a pair of young lovers, attempting to free themselves from the rigid confines of their close-knit community. Dreamt I Found You charms and enthralls, all while raising vital questions about kinship, loyalty, and belonging.”—Kirstin Chen, New York Times bestselling author of Counterfeit
