I Want to Die but I Want to Eat Tteokbokki

Baek Se-hee is a rising figure at a publishing house, known for her polished manner and effortless social life. Privately, she feels persistently low, anxious and harshly critical of herself and others, yet she keeps these feelings hidden from colleagues and friends. When she finally begins seeing a psychiatrist, she is unsure what to call what she is experiencing and whether it is something to discuss at all. Over twelve weeks of sessions, she records the conversations and begins to trace the patterns of thought and conduct that keep her stuck. Within the account, a small pleasure, a spicy rice cake eaten on the street, becomes a surprising thread through the darkness.
