Resumo
They consider themselves the best of friends. Others seem to think otherwise. There's something about their relationship that's hard to describe. What will become of these two "friends"?

Something About Us 's review
This webtoon tell us about love between 2 best friend who unexpectedly love each other. The story is simple, from the beginning to the end its about their relationship, nothing more and its not out of context like some webtoon that i know ( ex : TSOA ). Its not boring and there are a lot of funny character. The art style is not so good at first but it keeps improving and became so good around chapter 30.
Overall i think this webtoon is enjoyable and not boring obbiously. I can also see the story is realistic and the character development is so good and not rushing. |

Something About Us tell a real story, that might not be based in something that happened but something that might happen. Most mangas nowadays stay cliche, without trying to innovate with fear of sales not doing well. Problem is: we like the different, we like what's really.
Story involves 2 childhood friends (calm down, it's not the same...) that had personal problems in their lives but lived their high school phase with a lot funny moments that they treasure. But when they get older and start their adult life they discovered (or better, they found out) about love. With my initial comment about how this series tries to stay real, you are able to see that the problems and struggles that they pass throught happens with us in the daily basis: problems with grades, with love, discovering drugs etc. I gotta say what I MOST ENJOYED was the female characters, since even thought she was shy, she was not weak, she did what she thought she should do. We need more of that in mangas industry and stop with that idea that the perfect girl for a series would be the passive one. This is story is remarkable, but if you gotta ask what was done wrong it definitely would be the end, that was rushed. Any score point lower than 10 for this series, coming for me, would be a lie. It was definitely enjoyable. Give it a try, you won't regret. Bless this mangaka. |

I would consider this to be an above average romance story. If you aren't hooked after the first several chapters, keep reading. It starts with a rather generic childhood-friend-turned-romantic-interest plotline, but the point when most romance stories would peak (the "confession"), is the point when this manhwa really starts to take off. What this manwha excels at is exploring the difficulties of *maintaining* a relationship, not just initiating one. How to make the transition from friend to lover, how to keep your relationship afloat when you have a lot of sh*t going on in your own personal life, how to recover from conflict, etc. The
characters and their situations feel very realistic (and a romance NOT set in high school is refreshing), and the author did a good job leading the readers to feel an emotional attachment to the characters.

Something About Us (Woori) was a real treat to read from start to finish. It hits the right notes in the coming-of-age, slice-of-life, romance and comedy genres. In terms of target audience, the story falls more towards josei, yet you'll also get the sweet, fuzzy feels for shoujo audiences, which is an amazing balance.
Here's my version of a (spoiler-free!) synopsis because the one on Lezhin leaves too much guesswork. Woori is about a boy and a girl who became the best of friends in high school, despite being total opposites in character. The story starts when Woojin enrols in the same university as Gayoung after serving two years in the military service. With the change in environment, amidst college mates of different values and personalities, at the age when senses are awakened to the opposite sex, the two best friends discover what they truly mean to each other, slowly but surely. Character: 10/10 This is the aspect that makes Woori a true gem. The characters are refreshing and hilarious with their unique quirks. I'm all for storylines that are carried along by solid character portrayal and development, and this is one of the better ones out there. The MCs are multi-dimensional and equally likeable in their own ways. It's a joy to read how their clashing personalities complement and collide with each other. Not only the MCs, the side characters are interesting, each of them with their own “colour”. I’d dare say that this work won’t be as enjoyable with any one of them removed, even the most annoying ones are well portrayed to serve their purpose in the story. Story: 9/10 A coming-of-age story at its core, the story is somewhat bittersweet as the characters deal with “growing pains” during their college years, like peer pressure, jealousy and then some. However, it doesn’t delve too deep into any of the “pain” that those plot points can potentially be sucked into. Woori is not so much a melancholic and definitely not a psychological trip, it’s consistently light throughout, even the more troubling plot points, thanks to good pacing and brilliant, ROFL-inducing humour. When I say it’s “light” though, I don’t mean to the extent that it’s shallow. The themes Woori explores are current and executed with good depth. The story being told largely from the female POV, proved relatable. In certain key parts, we also get the male POV which is a nice touch, so that we get both sides of the story. Woori also portrays friendship very well, thanks to the sound side characters, their relationships with each other and how they contribute to the main story. Art: 8/10 Whilst I personally prefer art with more details and use of darks, the art in Woori works for the mood it aims to exude. It's is easy on the eyes, with clean lines and a largely pastel palette. When a webtoon is coloured tastefully, it’s like watching it in anime format (minus the audio plus some imagination), and Woori gave me such an impression. The characters’ facial expressions are well drawn, the chibi/ugly faces especially funny and emotions really come through (the looks of anger on the male characters, kill me). The character styling and dressing are satisfyingly on point (yay, skinnies!) which is vital in a college setting. I had to flag this because many works don’t pay enough attention to dressing; looking at you, ReLife. Enjoyment: 9/10 TLDR; but thanks for keeping up with me! Woori is definitely not one to pass up, especially if you are a fan of any of the genres. A reminder to check out all the character side stories, they lend well-deserved spotlight to some side characters that weren’t afforded more panel time in the main storyline. Enjoy! |

I'm really surprised that it's here since it's a manhwa/ Well I only write reviews on stories that I really liked so I guess it's one of them.
This manhwa had me trying to learn how to read hangeul (korean ws) because I was impatient of its slow update. I wish I had discovered it later so I wouldn't have to wait for it weekly/monthly (I had been switching sources just for this!) It was agonizing since I'm really captivated for its plot. The characters are relatable, all have shown a balance of both maturity and immaturity. The steady development of their relationships are good to, both in the aspects of growing distant and closeness. There's nothing to complain about the art, it is good. I guess I'm not giving it a perfect score because I'm biased towards Sunbae? |

So pure and wholesome. "Something About Us" is an absolutely beautiful experience. I cried at the end, reading the finale after growing with the two best friends-cum-lovers.
The story starts out similar to most romance genre material but it quickly makes itself stand out by not relying AT ALL on sexual appeals or more mature themes to pull you in. The characters interactions are very genuine and wholesome, and the side commentary provided by the characters' internal monologues adds a lot to their development. Even the relationship drama is well written, with emotions like jealousy and suspicion being very true to life and not over the top. By the end, you seen all the characters dynamically grow, not just in age and life but also in terms of their personalities. I loved it and would 100% recommend it. And to think this was my first manhwa! |
Something About Us 's review
Something About Us is a manhwa, or korean manga. It is about a college girl named Do Gayeoung and her best friend Han Woojin. Although they were only friends during high school, Gayeoung starts to like Han Woojin during his first semester with her at college, and thus begins a romantic spiral filled with joy, pain, cuteness, and feeeels.
Why is this manhwa so great? Out of all the anime/manga I have ever indulged in, this is the most realistic one by far, especially within the characters. In a lot of anime/ manga, cliches end up defining entire characters. This is the childhood friend, she’s always nice to the protagonist and hides her pain and feelings. This is the hot main protagonist, he’s nice to everybody, is immaculate, and is basically the second coming of christ. This is asshole guy, he’s your typical around the clock douchebag. I could name hundreds of these. Manga writers love to use cliches because they are formulaic and they work, but after seeing so many characters that are one dimensional cardboard copies of each other, they get stale. However, Something About Us’s characters do a profound job at actually simulating real people. The perfect main guy, actually has a dark history he can’t get over which leads to him having destructive thoughts. The nice childhood friend gets does not confront her feelings, and instead lets them boil into a cesspool of depression and anger. Characters who are initially presented as unsympathetic jerks, do have moments of sensitivity. All this let me relate with the characters that much more, since I have also felt what they feel. It turns the characters from cookie cutter templates to real people that I wanted to see find happiness. Please give this amazing under-read gem a try. You won’t regret it. |

Incredibly enjoyable!This manhwa showcased a unique friendship between the two main leads with a great execution of their growth personally and professionally. The moment I began reading I couldn't stop and eventually finished it in a day. I enjoyed the advancement of Gayoung's college experience as it displayed the harsh reality of juggling both school and work while trying to maintain relationships. The story was a great take on the 'friends become lovers' cliche. Woojin's personal character growth through his experience with his father was also an incredible read. I felt his well adjusted maturity allowed his relationship with Gayoung to progress. This story highlighted
the many hardships aligned with youth while also maintaining a sense of light heartedness. If I were to change one thing about the story I'd wish the ending gave the audience more closure, while reading it seemed unexpected and not very fulfilling. But overall very much worth the read, engaging story, eye catching art style, and well developed characters!

Cute and cute!
At first, everything looks just like an ordinary friendship-turn-love story. However, the author smartly emphasized the developing progress of the two young people. What I enjoy the most about it is that it's so related to your daily experience. Every character has their own colors, both dark and light. I like the slow pace of the story, not too dramatic but left deep impression on you. Also the drawing style is adorable. But, the story went on way too long! It's typical of webtoons nowadays to be extremely extended so that the authors would make the most money out of them. As a result, you will find it easy to forget or miss out some important details, which may be relatively confusing if the author don't flash back them. Overall, highly recommend guys! |
