This is my favorite book of all time. It is one of the few books that I read in the past few years and it's also one of the few books that I re-read every couple of months. RainbowTurtle and A_Passing_Wanderer did an excellent job of translating the source material into English. I'm currently working on learning Korean and I hope to become proficient enough in the language to read the original version of this book.
