The Snow Queen

About:

At 17, Tae Ung is a brilliant mathematical prodigy whose life changes forever when he meets two people who will come to shape his future—one becomes his closest friend, the other his first love. His best friend, Kim Jeong Gyu, is also a gifted mind, and the two become rivals in the academic world. But after Tae Ung triumphs at an international math Olympiad, Jeong Gyu tragically takes his own life, leaving Tae Ung haunted by guilt. Around the same time, Tae Ung shares a brief but unforgettable connection with a young girl who admires him, only to lose contact before ever learning her name. Years later, at 25, Tae Ung has abandoned his former life and now leads a quiet, unremarkable existence as a third-rate boxer. When fate unexpectedly reunites him with Bo Ra—the girl from his past—he is given a second chance at love and redemption. Set against the backdrop of a cold and unforgiving winter, this is a story about loss, healing, and the enduring hope that, like the seasons, even the harshest winters give way to new beginnings.
