★★ Cumulative sales in Japan exceed 440,000 copies, long-term bestseller on Amazon Japan!

It is called 'The Cheerful Grandmother's Big Reversal Life'
The Korean version of the hit that took Japan by storm has been released!

How would you answer the question, "How do you want to age?" "I'd rather age naturally."
Here is a grandmother who strongly opposes the common answer, “As you get older, what’s inside is more important than what’s outside.”
Oshi Hanada is a fashionista grandmother living in Azabu, Tokyo.


She, who is 78 this year, answers that she will be “a person who takes care of her appearance until she dies,” and laughs at those who often forget their age, saying, “You shouldn’t make others forget your age, but rather, you should make them forget it.”
However, as he was preparing to spend his final years in peace, proudly enjoying the envious and jealous gazes of others, an unexpected bomb was thrown into his life.
It's because of the secret my husband has been hiding for 42 years.


The unprecedented and unimaginable character Oshi Hana took Japan by storm as soon as she appeared.
The novel became a bestseller on Amazon Japan, selling over 440,000 copies, and was adapted into an NHK drama and even published as a manga of the same name.
Thanks to local popularity and reader requests, the Korean edition is finally being published, with a refreshing translation by translator Lee Ji-su.

If you're tired of the cliche lesson that you should naturally maintain the so-called "dignity of old age" appropriate to your age, I recommend meeting the honest and sassy grandmother, Oshi Hana.
Even in the face of a ticking time bomb at the end of life, Oshi Hana, who never loses her convictions, will give you the answer to your fear of how to embrace aging.

As we age, everyone deteriorates.
It becomes dull.
It becomes sloppy.
It gets dull.
It's becoming stupid.
Loneliness
Burn.
I want to be pitied.
Become a miser.
Anyway, I end up thinking, 'I'm going to die soon.'
On such topics, I would like to say, “I am always young because I am curious.”
They don't care about their clothes, but they still want to hear people say, "You're young."
Brag about your grandchildren, brag about your illness, brag about your health.
This is the reality of grandparents in this world.

“You know how people sometimes proudly say, ‘I live my life forgetting my age?’ It’s so funny.
“Age is not something you forget, but something you make others forget.”
In fact, the more women say, “A person is what’s inside,” the more they want to say such trite things.
“Mr. Yamamoto, among those who age gracefully, isn’t there anyone who looks shabby?”
“Yes, that’s definitely true.”
“Isn’t that the essence of aging gracefully?”
--- p.15

The thing that the elderly should avoid the most is ‘naturalness.’
It's 'natural'.
If you leave it to nature, you will become a shabby, withered old man or woman covered in wrinkles and freckles, appropriate for your age.
All I can talk about is my grandchildren and my illness.
Living against it must be the spirit of an old man.
--- p.44

I read somewhere that once you reach the age of seventy-five, your physical and mental health begins to decline.
There was also a doctor's comment that even modern medicine cannot treat the gradual decline that comes with age.
Even though there's nothing I can do about it, I try not to look my age.
Isn't this pointless? What's the point of resisting aging, something that medicine can't solve?
I am living with all my might, trying to avoid aging.
Yet, aging approaches silently.

“Thank you, Yumi.
Just being invited gives me energy.
Ichigo and Izumi, you don't have to worry about Grandma.
My grandfather didn't suffer from a long illness, and he didn't have tubes all over his body, he just died.
There is no such thing as a good death.
“If you think about it that way, Grandma will be happy and be able to live as usual.”
The three of them returned, seemingly relieved.

It's all a lie.
There's no way it'll be any different from usual.
My belief is that 'appearances are important', so I just don't show my true feelings.
--- p.138

We can't back down like this.
I didn't even know that Lee Eun had a concubine, but I continued the relationship with her even though I knew everything about her family.
I heard from Iwazo that he runs a daily necessities store and that he has a son and a daughter.
A concubine who maintained a relationship with her husband despite knowing it, and a wife who lived completely trusting her husband without knowing anything about it.
It's not fair that the world calls it 'affair'.
--- p.231

The employee spoke while looking only at Masahiko.
Even though I'm right next to him, he doesn't look at me even once out of ten times.
I guess you wouldn't understand even if I explained it to you.
Should I give you a room?
--- p.263

Women who say, “I like it natural,” say that doing nothing is “natural,” and that it is “just as it is.”
They are just lazy people who don't care about pretending to be anything special.
If a person continues to disguise himself and dies, his true appearance will be that of a disguised person.

--- p.268

“You, it’s okay for you to secretly meet another man’s husband for over forty years, but you can’t tolerate it happening to you.”
The color drained from the concubine's face.
Ah, I've had enough of this.
I've fed it about three rooms so far.
Let's stop.
There is a time for anger to stop.
There is a time to stop, even in resentment and hatred.
This woman has also lived and is living desperately.
--- p.341

When I think about it now, tears, joy, anger, jealousy, everything seems like a distant dream or illusion.
Everyone I met, everyone I parted ways with, everything I passed by seemed like a pleasant journey.
Grandpa and Grandma's life begins here.
From the moment I realized that, I felt energized.
