Criticizing the façade of the institution of marriage, which is considered sacred in society, this novel reveals the empty lives modern people lead. In 2000, this book won the author the 24th Today’s Writer Award, and it was adapted into a film of the same title which gained huge popularity.

사회에서 신성하게 여겨지는 결혼 제도의 허울을 비판하며 공허한 현대인들의 생활상을 드러낸다. 2000년 제24회 오늘의 작가상을 수상하였으며, 동명의 영화로 각색되어 대중적 인기를 끌었다.
