Living in poverty with her blind father, Shim Chong turns to stealing from innocent people to survive. In contrast, the future wife of the local minister basks in a luxurious lifestyle, but only if she obeys her husband unquestioningly.
After a tragic accident, their paths cross unexpectedly as they both long for a chance to break free from their miserable lives and let fate guide them.
Based on the Korean folktale of the same name, Her Tale of Shim Chong chronicles the journey of two girls from diverse backgrounds who discover the power of embracing their identity in a world plagued by gender inequality.
