Beschreibung
In Seoul, three women in their thirties meet while working mundane jobs at a snack manufacturer. They become fast friends, taking their conversations out of the group chat as they bond over their ?average' employee report cards, the incompetence of their male team leader, and a mutual longing for financial freedom amid mediocre raises.

Eun-sang, the eldest of the group, is always looking for ways to earn extra money, but faces trouble at work after she opens a mini mart at her desk.

Jisong, the youngest, dreams of a perfect romance with her Taiwanese boyfriend and spends her low salary on trips to Taipei.

Meanwhile, Dahae is struggling to support her injured mother, and searches endlessly for a better apartment she can actually afford.

One day over lunch, Eun-sang announces a plan to make enough money to quit her job, by investing her life's savings in cryptocurrency. What's more, she thinks the others should join her. All they need to do, she says, is hold on tight and wait for the price to skyrocket - to the moon. But as the market begins to fluctuate and spiral out of their control, the fate of their friendships - and their futures - soon hangs in the balance.

The bestselling South Korean phenomenon, To the Moon is a bittersweet tale of wealth and class, female friendship, and the promise of the future when good fortune seems to be just around the corner.
