The 16 episodes, which cover the social affairs police team, the legal team, and the investigative reporting team, humorously and touchingly depict the growth period of Song Ga-eul, a rookie reporter who travels the world.
Additionally, it provides a fun glimpse into the lives of reporters and vividly portrays various events that have permeated our society over the past decade.
In the introduction to the novel, rookie reporter Song Ga-eul, who begs a detective old enough to be her father to lead a case, calls him “hyung” “hyung,” and becomes a veteran reporter who reports an exclusive story that ignites a major incident in modern Korean history, leading to the impeachment of the president and the candlelight vigils. The journey is both enjoyable and heartwarming.
It is a work that has all the fun of a sitcom, drama, and action film, to the point that it was decided to be made into a drama even before its publication.

Author's Note
Recommendation
Into the book
The newspaper's directive to call detectives "hyung" gave me great satisfaction.
Because it gives me, a woman in her 20s and a rookie reporter, a basis for not feeling intimidated in front of my sources, who are mostly men in their 50s or 60s.
When veteran reporters entered the criminal investigation department, they would walk around with a characteristically swaying posture, but I couldn't stand that.
The veteran reporters looked just like cheetahs.
A cheetah that can run fast but walks slowly without necessarily accelerating.
When I said the word 'hyung', I felt like I was a cheetah, or rather a cheetah cub.
--- p.12
There was a full-length mirror in the police station lobby.
It was a mirror with 'Gawon Rotary Club' written in gold at the bottom.
Below the writing, there were phoenix wings drawn on both sides.
Every time I see this, I think, 'Isn't this meant to send a message to criminals entering the police station to look in the mirror and reflect on themselves?'
If I had to give it a name, it would be 'Mirror of Atonement'.
That day, I was reflected in the mirror of atonement, bowing my head to the person on the other end of the phone with my back bent at a 30-degree angle.
The face that said sorry looked like it would soon burst into tears.
I'm really sorry, actually.
Having been reported to the police for something bad, it was sure to be unpleasant to receive a call from a reporter.
--- p.16
“Now that it’s the final stage, you stay behind and report on the final scene before coming up.
Is this your first time on-site? Seeing the bereaved families might bring tears to your eyes, but it's not a good reporter to be crying with them.
A good reporter is one who covers and captures that scene in detail.
Don't be so sad, look at me clearly.
“Don’t miss any of the scenes.”
--- p.37
"Why should I defect? My home is in Pyongyang, my family is all there, and it's my homeland. I just don't understand why I have to leave."
Ah, because you think it's hard to live in poverty? They say our country isn't wealthy, so it's hard to make a living...
But is it true that everyone in South Korea lives well and is happy? They say that's not true either."
--- p.321
Justice, it's not something grand.
In our daily lives, I think it's about doing whatever we can without being too shabby or shabby, so that we don't have any shame or shameful feelings left in the corner of our hearts.

The journey is both enjoyable and heartwarming.
It is a work that has all the fun of a sitcom, drama, and action film, to the point that it was decided to be made into a drama even before its publication.
A humanistic social novel for all those who endure injustice and live bravely.
'In a world where there are so many things to be sorry about, I want to be less sorry.
I will write an article that will be helpful to someone.' _From the text
There are too many bad guys in the world, and too many people who live righteous lives are hit in the back of the head, but after reading "This is Song Ga-eul from Godo Ilbo," you will understand.
Song Ga-eul is a good reporter and a good person.
And that this world definitely needs reporters like Song Ga-eul.
"This is Song Ga-eul from Godo Ilbo" recreates various problems in Korean society, including prostitution, financial corruption, fabricated spy cases, prosecution reform, and the division of the country.
Additionally, it depicts historical tragedies such as the comfort women and Sewol Ferry incidents in a highly relatable story, and realistically depicts the darker aspects of everyday life such as the hardships of life and juvenile delinquency.
In particular, in the chapter titled “The President’s Hairstyle,” you can get a glimpse into the author’s fascinating and secretive reporting process, which actually covered an exclusive article (“President Park wasted 90 minutes doing her hairstyle when the Sewol ferry sank,” [Hankyoreh]).
Justice isn't something grand.
About living in South Korea
As the novel progresses, readers see the lives of people living in South Korea through the eyes of a reporter named Song Ga-eul.
Park Seon-ha, who suffered from poverty and ended up stealing her child's first birthday hanbok, Kang Pal-seong, who was accused of being a communist and spent 15 years in prison, middle school students who falsely reflected on their actions in front of a judge, a young woman from the red-light district who dreams of opening a nail salon, a North Korean female worker who worked in a Chinese factory...
I opened the novel because I was curious about 'what it's like to live as a reporter in South Korea', and ended up wondering what 'living in South Korea' is really like.
In an era where the word "rag" has become synonymous with "journalist," what kind of world does reporter Song Ga-eul seek to portray? Perhaps it's a world where just justice is possible through just criticism and just encouragement, a world that doesn't need to be grandiose.
Justice, it's not something grand.
In our daily lives, I think it's about doing whatever we can without being too shabby or shabby, so that we don't have any shame or shameful feelings left in the corner of our hearts.
