"No matter what they say about North Korea, my parents are waiting for me there, my daughter, and my husband are waiting for me. Do I need any other reason?" Kim Yeon-hee, who was born in North Korea, went to China in 2011 for medical treatment, but was tricked by a broker into coming to South Korea. By some mistake, she became a "North Korean defector." With her family in North Korea, she only wanted to return to Pyongyang, but her attempts to seek help from official channels over the years had always been blocked. In desperation, she had to use more radical methods, and even engaged in espionage, just to get a chance to leave South Korea. When time wears away her memory bit by bit, can she wait until the day she returns home?
