I love this series and I am SO happy there is an English translated version of the physical copy in print. I pre-ordered this SO FAST.
For those who do not know, this is a physical copy of a Korean webtoon. It is a webtoon that seems to understand the concept of a fairy tale more than any other webtoon I've seen. The art is beautiful and enhances the story, that focuses on the "step-mother" of the story, Shuri. There is a lot of political and societal mystery and intrigue that the family, and Shuri, finds herself tangled in and you can't help but wonder how this story will end for her. It is also an excellent webtoon to re-read, there is so much foreshadowing and characters come in and out of the story as needed (and not as throw-away characters that are only intended to serve the purpose of making our main character more interesting).
