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.

The misticism and ficction are nicely entagled, not apparently being the main focus, but rather something used in favor of the narrative. It affects the story giving their problems something to circle around.

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

I'm not much of a manhwa reader, so I was a bit skeptical of this little title that I came to know as "Kanojo no Shin Sei" on the Comico app. Upon hearing that this was a yuri title, I started to read it completely blind (as I usually like to do), to the point that, for a moment, I thought this was a manhua.

Shim Cheong didn't actually grip me from the start; the setting, language and promise of yuri is what kept me reading. I wasn't expecting even for a second that the story would turn into a mix of mystery, suspense and fantasy ...

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 ...
