Welcome to RJ Greyta Writes

Hi, I’m RJ Greyta, a UK-based author writing K-drama-inspired romance set across London and Seoul.

This blog is simple: book news, behind-the-scenes, and reader extras. No fluff, no endless “maybe someday” updates. Just real progress and real releases.

My debut: The Mochi Promise

The Mochi Promise is a second-chance love story built around a childhood promise that refuses to fade.

Years ago in Seoul, Ted and Soo-ah shared mochi, secrets, and a promise to never forget each other. Life pulled them apart, and now Ted is back, older and carrying the weight of what never got finished.

It’s for you if you like slow-burn emotion, cross-cultural connection, and romance with heart.

The Mochi Promise: why Ted and Soo-ah feel real

 People keep asking if Ted and Soo-ah are based on real people. They are not a copy of anyone. But they are built from real pressures, real places, and real emotional patterns that I have seen over and over. This post is the behind-the-scenes version of them. Why they start at 10. Why they clash. Why the promise matters. Ted: the outsider who is not “broken” Ted is not written as a perfect male lead. He is written as a kid who struggles to stay in step with everyone else. He has dyslexia and ADHD, so school is not a neutral place for him. It is where he is constantly reminded that the system was not designed for how his brain works. That matters because it shapes his whole romance arc. Ted does not 'save' Soo-ah. He learns how to keep showing up even when he feels like he is failing. That is the muscle he later needs in Seoul, where every mistake is loud, public, and permanent. Soo-ah: the girl who has to be excellent to survive Soo-ah grows up with less money, which m...

Ted, ADHD, and the Boy Nobody Understood

  Why I wrote Ted December 23, 2025 People see Ted as the “outsider.” The kid who does not fit the system, does not fit the room, and often gets judged before he even speaks. That part is real. Ted is not a copy of me, but he carries pieces of me and pieces of people I have known. I grew up on a council estate in Roehampton, near Putney Heath. I have ADHD and dyslexia, and as a kid I was a handful. Restless. Loud. Stubborn. The kind of child adults label before they understand. I did not write Ted to make a point. I wrote him because I recognise him. Ted is not “bad.” He is overloaded. A lot of kids like Ted get treated as if they are choosing chaos. As if they want to be difficult. But what it often looks like from the inside is simpler and harder to explain. It is frustration that comes out sideways. It is emotions arriving too fast. It is trying, failing, then deciding you must be the problem. When school is built around sitting still, reading cleanly, and behaving on...
