XIOMARA came to SOUTH KOREA for a fresh start, not ROMANCE- but with a problematic coworker on her neck, her dream of being the teacher she envisioned starts to crumble. Then . . . there's a chance encounter with MIN-JUN, a man with his own regrets, who is determined to crack her tough exterior. As a proud Afro-LATINA from the BRONX, Xiomara struggles to soften.
As sparks fly and emotions flare, the threat of being sent home only adds pressure. Xiomara will learn that Daegu's busy streets, packed salsa clubs and smoky BBQ joints aren't the only things that will shape her journey in SOUTH KOREA.
Like a little sazón packet, PLÁTANOS & KIMCHI is a story packed with flavor, culture, connection, and the struggle to embrace vulnerability in a foreign country.
