Every garden needs a little weeding ...

Tucked away in a quiet neighbourhood in Dosan, South Korea, is the Plant Shop. Its owner, Yoohee, has made a fresh start, creating a lush green sanctuary where petunias and marigolds bloom under her tender care.
By day, she dispenses gardening advice. After hours, women come to her with a different kind of problem: men they want out of their lives.
Yoohee knows these men. Men who intimidate, control and destroy. Men who have treated her, and her beloved plants, with utter disrespect.
So when night falls, Yoohee trades her apron for a shovel and disappears into her moonlit garden. After all, there are many things a garden needs to grow.
But as the list of missing men grows, a determined young detective comes knocking ...
Darkly funny and quietly furious, Plant Lady is a deliciously twisted Korean tale of female rage, revenge, and the lengths to which one woman will go to protect the life she has carefully cultivated
