Wow. Anyone with a pair of eyeballs can tell the illustration style of both manhwa are as different can be.
It amazes me how confidently people spread misinformation. The illustrators belong to the same studio CARROTOON, which publishes on Kakao.
Secret lady is credited to 'banana & angato'
A stepmother's marchen is credited to 'ORKA & Cat and spice' (The latter in both cases being the authors of the og novel)
Also, please don't put words in my mouth. I never used the word "deteriorate", you're probably projecting because you think it has infact deteriorated <3
I didn’t say secret lady and a stepmother’s marchen had the same artist. I already knew they were different artists.
I was referring to what you said about secret lady. You said the art changed in secret lady. Hence me saying, the art is still by the same artist as it was in the beginning and looks beautiful.
My bad, I misunderstood and thought you meant both manhwa were illustrated by the same person.
Secret lady's art did change though. While the colouring is fantastic as ever, the artist seems to have made changes to the way they sketch line drawings. The proportions are off. Rose and her lookalike's face's especially.
They have massive heads, tiny pointy faces. It's worlds apart from what rose looked like in season 1.

The art is so stunning I'd be so upset if it ever changes like it did in secret lady.
Nora, you gorgeous mf! (ノ*0*)ノ
