Synopsis

Poverty-stricken Shim Chong will do anything to support herself and her blind father, going so far as to steal money from innocent strangers. Meanwhile, the future bride of the local minister lives in luxury, her every need taken care of so long as she remains an obedient wife.

When an unfortunate accident leads to their fateful encounter, the pair who have nothing in common find themselves sharing the same wish—to leave their undesirable lives behind and die at the hands of fate.

Loosely based on a Korean folktale of the same name, Her Tale of Shim Chong follows two girls from different walks of life as they learn to accept themselves for who they are in a world where women are seen as less than equal.

Her Tale of Shim Chong takes the familiar cross-class romance formula and reinvents it through a captivating Korean historical setting and an intricate mystery plot.

Her Tale of Shim Chong took me by surprise when I finally got around to reading what I thought would be something I would eventually drop after a few chapters.

What I actually found was an immensely thoughtful tale of women - not just the two protagonists - women doing their best to survive in a world that has knives pointing at them, ready to wound at the slightest opening. Though that's already enough of a hook, what really pulled me in was the careful treatment of class dynamics in the world. The difference in station between our sacrificial bride and the titular beggar-girl is like ...

Do you like feeling happy? If so, don’t read this manhwa. Do you like violence, killing, people who don’t talk to each other and get angry about nothing, sexual assault, and just a whole bunch of stuff that makes people generally want to kill themselves (which everyone discussed and thought about a TON of times through this, it’s like there would be more happiness if everyone died halfway through the story) in your yuri manga?
