You can see a variety of love and romance titles among all webtoons.

However, of the numerous titles, they may only be a handful of them that deal with love authentically.


The artist Omyo's 'The Stories of Those around Me' is exactly the title that treats realistic love and romance.


'The Stories of Those around Me' is a title that addresses a genuine story that might actually happen around us by expressing the emotional lines of the main characters in a monologue according to the emotional trend of current people in their 20's and 30's.

The three heroines of different personalities have very contrasting values for their view of love or romance.


In specific, the story of the old couple was handled very realistically as each one of the couple was so accustomed to the other person that their special anniversary was simply overlooked.


The movie 'Lovers Of 6 Years' comes to mind when I watch the protagonist's friend who finds herself tired of the flat, drifting relationship in which she keeps comforting herself by simply thinking that 'it is alright because we have been dating for so long'. 

 The webtoon conveys the sincere story that could absolutely occur to lovers who have had a really long relationship from the perspective of the woman rather than man.


The webtoon arouses immense empathy of the readers as the conflicts and worries that develop between the couple are indeed common stories that the readers may have heard about before or could actually be the episodes that the readers themselves have experienced.


Moreover, the story of the particular heroine that occupies the largest part in the webtoon portrays the youth of modern young people very frankly without any exaggerations.

The readers of similar ages as the main character who work part-time jobs, worry about their future and hesitate to find stable employment even when it is time for them to advance into the society can certainly project themselves in the webtoon.

As the concerns about her career are getting larger, the heroine feels more attracted to the boy who she met at her part-time work in a strange manner.

The situation where the heroine gets confused even though she already has a boyfriend does not seem so unfamiliar or awkward to us.


If one puts themselves in the heroine's shoes, they can easily imagine that anyone will get mixed up in such circumstance.

I would definitely recommend young women in their 20's and 30's to read the webtoon since it brings out the story that could have naturally happened to me or anyone else around me in an honest and plain manner as the title 'The Stories of Those around Me' suggests.

Perhaps the webtoon is indeed depicting the actual stories of the people who are reading the webtoon at this very moment or telling the true stories of friends around the readers. Sometimes the webtoon deals with love so that it makes the readers easily comprehend their ambiguous feelings regarding such emotion.


 It doubtlessly is a title that illustrates the psychology of women well enough so that even a male reader can naturally understand the other's mind.


Also, as the webtoon represents the troubles and anxieties that everyone would have concerned about and experienced in their 20's and 30's, it would clearly provide a special time for the readers to look back on their memories.


 'The Stories of Those around Me' is very much interesting as people read the story by putting themselves in the youthful romance relationships of the three heroines and think about them. 

I once again recommend it to readers who like romance stories that are not heavy.
