    Summary

    Hoseok Jung had three rules about living as a Korean-American in 1943 Los Angeles:

    1.) Only speak Korean in whispers when you’re in public
    2.) Don’t draw attention to yourself. Keep a low profile
    3.) Only wear clothes that you bought in the USA

    While these rules were surely helpful when it came to assimilating in an ever xenophobic society, they didn’t benefit the individual in any other parts of their life. So when Hoseok is faced with the impending anxiety of the draft, and develops a crush on his best friend, he isn’t sure how to handle such feelings.

    Hoseok is forced to break out of his safe, naive bubble that he’s always known so that he can grow up and learn that this world isn’t as perfect as a play on Broadway is.
