Sorry to everyone who hasn't watched "True Beauty" yet and thought this would be some cute romantic bl couple edit and instead got an angsty Bromance Edit. Haha.
Even though I would say that it's lowkey queerbating at this point, but I can't really complain since we all know the show got made after the webtoon and that Suho and Jukyung will be endgame to 99,9%.
I must say that I really didn't expect to enjoy this show so much? Because it actually has almost everything I disliked in kdramas so far... like the female lead always falling and getting caught by one of the guys lmao. I hate that. But this show did it so much that I got used to it.
It actually could be made into a drinking game: Drink every time she falls or stumbles.
No but like 3 episodes in I was hooked? I don't understand what it is but I can't be the only one since literally 70% of my Twitter Mutuals, the ones that usually just watch BL Dramas, started watching this drama. It's super funny at times and it has so many characters you'll love.
I actually was Team Seojun and still am, because *cough* second Lead Syndrome *cough* and he's just such an incredible character, every episode I find myself loving and appreciating him even more. :,)
But I don't have anything against her being with Suho. They're happy together now and I started growing fond of them recently too. They are so soft and wholesome.
(I actually also loved them in their early days, when they would be nerds and talk about comics)
What I didn't like was when Suho told her to quit her job because seojun would be there, despite her needing the money (thank god she didn't and did not let him decide about her life) + when he followed her into the cinema when she had a blind date???
(I don't think that was in the webtoon, so the show just decided to portray him 'stalkerish' for no reason? I must admit that scene was quiet funny and emberassing but if you think about it, it's super problematic)
But the main reason why I enjoy watching the show nowdays is Suho's and Seojun's friendship and I am just so glad that they're back to being friends again. I adore to see them being goofy together + to mention it AGAIN : they have Chemistry. Eunwoo and In Yeop should get casted in a future BL Drama. Periodt.
I really hope the show won't take the direction as it looks like right now... that her whole new school will bully her for her no-make up face? That's not a message that a show should give their young audience? And it's not realistic to get bullied by literally everyone.
But at least the preview shows us how Suho and Seojun will help her and be there for her.
Also DAMN how hot was it when Seojun threw that bully's phone against the wall??? And how he threatened her? So many people that prefered Suho and Jukyung together said that Seojun just loves her with her make up on since he hasn't seen her barefaced yet?
(which doesn't make sense in the first place, since he only got interested in her after he got to know her)
And now he did, and it doesn't make any difference. :)
Suho and Seojun finally have the chance to help someone - Jukyung - after they couldn't save their friend in the past. :(
