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.

My view is bound to be influenced by my nature as an homosexual woman.

With that out of the way, the story is made of elements expected in a love story. Including all the emotional baggage, speaking of real connections and struggles in life. And the way it is narrated doesn't make the reading tiring, keeping mostly short chapters while grasping attention.

The art is satisfying and comfortable. Also coherent with the characters' ...

I've written this review solely to let you know that the person who did not recommend this manhwa is misinformed. I'm not a big yuri connoisseur myself, but even I know that Her Tale of Shim Chong definitely fits the category of yuri, and it does it quite well actually. I've read this story over 4-5 times now, and yet, each time, I fall deeper in love with the story. The drama is good, the characters are good, the art is beautiful; the only thing that sucks is that the translations are sub-par (for the most part) which gets kind of annoying, but it is ...

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? Then this is the manhwa for you. Even after all the shit that happened the end was like “oh wow here’s a fairy tale ending” like the characters actually deserved ...
