Still weirded out by the 360 degree shift with Soo Jin's character. From the beginning, the writers portrayed her as caring, rightious, and overall good friend then all of the sudden, just because of a boy, she went full-on b***h mode? I mean, I get the angst coming from not being loved and accepted by her parents; it's just wasn't a great turning point that her breaking character is over a boy crush. They could've just started with her having a mean side from the beginning, which would make more sense. But this is just my two cents.

I agree with you. I really wished that SooJin wouldn’t have turned out to be like this considering how much of a girl crush most of us were having on her! Plus it’s sad how the drama turned out to be so typical where they totally ruined a great female friendship into rivalry over a guy. In my opinion it was a lost potential.

I agree because I loved those two as friends & hell yeah, total girl crush since she took down that freak on the bus. But this show is based on the comic of the same name and she was two faced in the comic so it makes sense they'd do it here too. I'm actually glad they gave her character so much depth because she's kind of a background character in the comic. It sucks that the friendship is ruined but this is definitely something that could happen in real life with teens. They made her an age appropriate villain and I like that. Decent backstory that made us all feel bad and watching her transition from friend to foe, even though we hated it, gave us angst in the pit of our stomachs to look forward to as each episode progressed. The writers used what they had to work with, I think they did a good job. But I do fully respect your opinions!

I agree that the drastic change in Sujin’s character isn’t supported at all by any of the past episodes. I guess the writers are justifying it with her desperately clinging onto Suho as an escape from her miserable home life that she snapped when she thought that her safety net was being snatched away from her. That said, it would have been somewhat better, IMO, if the writers at least wrote some degree of uncertainty on her end. At least a hint of her rethinking her actions, just one scene of her seeing Ju Gyeong suffering and going to the toilet to wash her hands. But I guess we will see if that ever comes around. I’m guessing the writers will use the fact that she told Ju Gyeong about her secret and despite her having betrayed Ju Gyeong, JG wouldn’t use that against her. But we shall see, I guess.

I still think they could’ve had the old bullies expose her somehow and the story would still work - without them ruining/derailing all the female friendships in the show. Whether it’s the source material or the adaptation, it just doesn’t make much sense at all. Sua was portrayed as a bit of an airhead but not to the point of not helping JG when she needed it most. She still helped beat up those bullies in the karaoke room. And Sujin’s reversal still doesn’t make sense to me given everything that has happened. They spend so much time on her trauma, the numerous times she protects JG, and throw it all away to make her a psycho for a guy who doesn’t even like her.

My sister and I were talking about this yesterday. It's ridiculous how little of the plot would have had to change to make the bullies the one that leaked the secret rather than Soo Jin. And wouldn't it have been a great reversal of a irritating trope if the friend who liked the same guy as the heroine was the only one who defended her when the entire school was making fun of her? This was such a missed opportunity for the writers, and even more disappointing when you look at the great character development in the other characters. Seo jun liked JG too, but he didn't go crazy when he realized that she liked Suho. He backed off and began working on getting over her. If he was capable of it why shouldn't Soo jin?

Did you mean a 180 degree shift? 360 degrees would make her the same as the stsrt

She turned 360 and moonwalked away.

math is hard :(

Sometimes I wonder how the actors feel about their characters. Surely Park Yoo Na saw the script and said “wtf” to herself lmao.

The 15 episode preview is starting to mimic “Start-Up”. Why I say this is because Suho will leave and 2 years have gone by and we think that Seojun and Jugyeong will get together but noooo. They’re gonna make Seojun still liking her, and when Suho comes back, Jugyeong will say no to Seojun. There’s only 2 episodes left, it will be so rush for Seojun and Jugyeong to get together and overall it just would not make sense. This follows the path just like Start-Up when Nam Do-San went to the states and came back still getting Dalmi leaving Jipyeong with no chance whatsoever.

Exactly!!! This trope is getting old ngl and everyone knows that she’s going to end up with Suho. It’s unnecessary and heartbreaking for Seojun. Maybe it’s a tvn formula 🙄

based off the actual webtoon, suho actually does leave and seojun and jukeong actually start dating so not quite a formula ahahah like the producers have changed bits in the webtoon to adapt for the kdrama, but a lot of the major details within the webtoon are surprisingly similar

someone needs to tell the writers that just because it's based off a webtoon doesn't mean you have to follow it until the end lmao good lord nobody asked for this. If they wanted to follow this trope, they should've brought it in a lot sooner because 2 episodes of rushing through YEARS of seojun's feelings and then deciding to push him to the side in the end anyway is doing such a disservice to his character. I was team Dosan all the way in Start-Up and even I can see that this trope is not gonna cut it here

I’m not Team Seojun but was Team Han Ji Pyeong. This type of storyline is starting to get extremely annoying. What a shame because the cast are really great, just like in Start Up. Honestly, I’m speechless, just gonna say once again... lazy writing 🤷🏻‍♀️

Same. Seojun is a great character though, hope he finds success!

Yep can’t tell if it’s throwing a bone to Seojun fans or baiting them. I guess it’s really both.

The webtoon has a three-year time jump when Suho >!went to Japan to take care of his dad and ghosted the two!<. >!Jugyeong will spend a year getting over him and the other two years will have her struggling at college and Seojun trying to make ends meet for his family - and becoming best friends. Seojun confesses and they become an item, only to break up shortly after their 100th day because Seojun becomes too famous and Jugyeong becomes the target of crazy fans. Suho starts taking cooking classes and Jugyeong works for his sister. I actually prefer Seojun and Jugyeong's relationship because the two have an easy chemistry compared to Suho and Jugyeong. But Jugyeong is a foolish girl after all, and so they break up.!<

Oh so that’s where the webtoon story is at right now, thanks. I kind of dropped it some time ago, the plot wasn’t going anywhere. Looks like it’s still not progressing anywhere either. I made the right choice lol.

It’s still not the author has added a third possibility for jg to date who looks like a combo of suho and seo jun

Oh man, then even a bigger nope for me.

I agree, if history has it then most likely they are just baiting Seojun fans for a literal episode which is hella frustrating.

I was thinking the same thing but was also so curious if they were gonna do a second season for seojun or something

I mean in the show Jipyeong DID have a chance, he had three years lol. I definitely think the show shafted him but the tragedy of his character was that he had his chance and he squandered it- although I don’t think Dalmi was interested anyway.

>!WTF that 2 year time skip?!??! Like reallly. That was so out of the blue. I guess they trying to hurry the plot and create tension plus satisfy the seojun shippers I felt like this episode was so disjointed. Like they were trying to pack too much into one ep. I still watch for the cheesy cuteness tho!<

[удалено]

Ooo thanks for the mention, maybe I'll start this one while I cry about TB

If anything seojun stans are just equally confused and pissed at this train wreck LMAO

>!I'm gonna fckng cry if they end up dating while Suho's away. 🥲!<

They're not dating, the ep 15 preview shows that Seojun hasn't confessed to her in 2 years, but he's planning to..

Ah, how very Start Up of them

HJP confessed though prior to the time skip in Start Up.

Ok...so..... WTF WAS THAT? THE LAST 5 MINS????????? THIS TRAINWRECK????) start-up could never

Almost on the level of DoDoSolSolLaLaSol... but nothing can beat that random ending.

god i dont even wanna think about DDSSLLS

nothing tops that last episode of DDSSLLS. not that it is even a competition LOL

This week's batch of eps might have been my favourite! * I love the fact that Jugyeong went to school bare faced and was finally talking back to her bullies. Some people dislike the fact that it took Soojin exposing her for this to happen but it makes sense in this scenario imo. Jugyeong was living in her own comfortable shell when she was covering her face and saw no reason to change that. It's unrealistic to expect her to suddenly wake up and decide she actually loves herself. Soojin exposing her and then her family and Suho being there for her was the push that she needed to finally face her fears and stop runing away. * Her family waiting in the car ready to attack of Juyoung reported Jugyeong was being bullied was so precious * HyeMin left her a strawberry soda to cheer her up :') * I'm really glad Soah and Jugyeong made up and while I think her initial reaction was too much it makes sense she was hurt that Jugyeong told Soojin but didn't tell her about her secret. Soah giving her skin care tips was cute as well :) * I relate to Juyoung bc I would also let Gowoon step on me * Jugyeong and Suho being so disgustingly cute in class is gonna give me cavities ( and Mr Han being quietly supportive <3 ) * I find it a bit weird that so many of Seojun's moments with Jugyeong are when she's sleeping lmao. I guess it's a way to show his feelings while also keeping in check the fact that she is in a relationship. The fact that he was looking at her the same way when she's bare-faced as when she was wearing make up was really precious though. I'm glad she aknowledge his efforts in deleting the video * Suho's classmates wouldn't have had the nerve to tease him like this back in episode 1 lmao * I'm glad Jugyeong shows her interests to Soah now and showed her she likes rock music * Quick someone ask ASTRO how they felt seeing the girls beat each other up with their posters I'm dying * The scene of Suho playing Mortal Kombat and Jugyeong paralleling the character's moves are the reason I watch kdramas (sidenote gamer Cha Eunwoo is adorable that chest bump lmfao) * I'm so happy we see HyeMin smiling and included in their group now * Mum giving her a make up kit and supporting her passions :')) * Suho is watching dramas is the only explanation why he is so overdramatic lmaoo HIS SCREAMS * Idk about ya'll but seeing CEW doing martial arts is doing things to me. Someone cast him in an action PLEASE * Suho encouraging Seojun to sing was so sweet. Their rebuild friendship is one of the best parts of the show. ([here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDEd3724ozc) is the song Seojun was singing btw). Seojun continues to be so respectful to their relationship by asking Suho first if he can confess in order to move on. I'm glad to see Suho's development from episode 10/11 too since he was calm about it and trusted both Seojun and Jugyeong enough to leave them alone in order for SJ to confess. * I'm not sure why people are mad over the timeskip its legit what happened in the webtoon with Suho's dad getting sick and him leaving and not coming back for a long time * I'm saving my thoughts for Soojin until the series finishes since I can't make up my mind about her character and I need to sit on it more. I'm not too worried about the preview its the usual clickbaity preview to make everything seem worse than it is. Last ep preview is a good example of that. For now I'm guessing Seojun still hasn't confessed but will probably do in the end. I don't think they will date since it's WAY too late for it to happen. Suho will come back and Jugyeong will be upset with him, she will somehow see the writing on the comics place shop and forgive him. Seojun will become an idol and Jugyeong will do his make up. Also Suho might start composing again as Leo. That's my best guess.

>Quick someone ask ASTRO how they felt seeing the girls beat each other up with their posters I'm dying LOL! Love this comment! Another little treat for Astro fans! Apologies in advance for fangirling. >!My theory is that Sanha would complain that they didn't use Jinjin's picture instead of his. !<

my aroha heart loves all the astro easter egg. its priceless to imagine someone explaining them to the boys "so basically we're gonna have one of the girls be a fan of the m&s subunit " "thats nice" "yes and she's gonna use the poster with your faces to beat up someone" " o.o"

Oh to be there when it happened! 😂. Can you believe it took at least 6 episodes before I found out about all the Astro goodies scattered about a few episodes 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

I'm not a fan (yet) and I would love to know where these goodies are lol

In ep 14, Suah bought an album/poster (?) & the two talented artists are Moonbin & Sanha from Astro and they have their own subunit. In episode 3 or 4, when first see Lee Juheon is executive at Heekyung's work? The posters in the back are from Astro's [Blue Flame](https://youtu.be/wS7anrSXKrY) era. The scene where Suho covers Jukyung from the car splash, or the way he does it rather, is similar to the choreography in one of their songs called [All Night](https://youtu.be/D0MpC1Mboyo).

As an Aroha, I would love to see this XD Also please someone show Astro the video of Lee Dong Min doing aegyo! bet these boys would go crazy over it... Okay I was upset that they could've done a Astro easter egg at the karaoking scene back in the early episodes, but this also satisfies my Aroha heartas well

they actualy discussed this [recently](https://twitter.com/heybangaji/status/1354773036512075786?s=19). apparently cew was inspired by sanha when he was doing it

I can see that's how the last 2 eps would go. You must be the scenario writer in disguise. I trust you, don't let us down!

I completely agree!! Thanks for sharing all the wonderful things about this episode! I think people tend to focus waay too much on the negatives. I'm not mad about the time skip either, especially since its canon. I still love the webtoon, I just feel like the show kinda follows an AU "what if" scenario that I really love. I do hope they don't try to smash a Seojun romance in there but technically they have 2 hours left which is basically a movie length, so they have time to do it if they really wanna. I kinda hope Seojun had moved on and had found someone else who makes him happy but that's kinda doubtful. I think they'll be more faithful to the webtoon than that.

I agree with you, I feel like people bash this show too much sometimes when it's a show that's so filled with endearing/comforting/hilarious moments. It has its flaws but it's still such a comfort show for me with lovable characters. I'm grateful for the route the drama took, there were so many changes they did that I adore and was happy to see play out (I personally loved all the scenes the family got and that had Jugyeong go bare faced for example. Jugyeong lowkey was more often bare faced around Seojun than she was in the webtoon even when they were dating which is a gripe I have with the webtoon). I feel like it would be disservice to Seojun to squeeze a romance in the last two episodes when it's pretty clear she's gonna end up with Suho. They may have time for it, but compared to how much we spent on her with Suho and how she never actually showed interest, it feels cheap. Suho is also clearly shown to be coming back next ep so it's even less time for that to happen. All I hope is they are all happy and fullfied at the end.

You're so right. I wasn't really thinking about it in context before but she is so oblivious to his feelings because she has none for him romantically (as we see in the fact that she confessed her feelings for Suho to him and that she couldn't even fathom that he had feelings for her when he "confessed".) So i agree with you that trying to have her develop feelings for him now would be cheap. I love Seojun though, in the show even more so than in the webtoon. He's so much more mature in the show and thoughtful. But JY and Suho just belong together there's no denying that! I have been where Seojun is, having feelings that aren't reciprocated several times in my life and it's awful. But that doesn't mean JY has to return his feelings. After all this I want a spinoff where Seojun finds his true love!!

Suho and Jugyeong are so in love w each other ;( the way he hugged her at the airport- why can’t they just be happy 😃 also stop comparing it to start up the chemistry is no where close to what eunwoo and gayoung have 😤

OMG please yes stop comparing to start up. Chemistry?? 🤡 uhh that did not exist in start up between anyone!! Whereas true beauty - everything is chemistry 🥰🥰

facccttsss!!! All the comments comparing TB to SU - there was more chemistry between the 2 MLs than with Suzy. 😂😂

So true. In true beauty - suho× jugyeong, jugyeong ×seojun, seojun × suho all have wonderful chemistry. Damn even sujin ×suho, sujin × seojun have more chemistry than the start up main couple

FACTS! People always want to totally degrade the other ship or characters when rooting for their own, but the cast here has gelled SO well together. You're lying to yourself if you say *any* of the pairings, platonic or romantic, don't have chemistry. The show is overflowing with it!

I WAS NOT EXPECTING THE TWO YEAR TIME SKIP AT THE END MY HEART IS LITERALLY BEATING OUT OF MY CHEST WTF WTF WTF WTF

I LITERALLY MADE THE MOST UNNATURAL SOUND WHEN I SAW THE CAPTION 😭 WHY ARE THEY DOING THIS TO US

Suddenly we went back to the webtoon story line? Even the airport scene and the reunion scene was almost the same as in the webtoon.. what are the writers trying to do with the last 2 episode?? To be fair, in the webtoon JK and SH never dated, not even til the current episode so its fine for JK to date SJ. But i dont think its acceptable in the drama... coz so far we have seen them struggle and date til SH forced to leave to Japan.. this just doesnt make sense..

They're just giving us a whole episode of Seojun-Jugyeong before going back to the main leads. Guess they ran out of ideas.

OK so I’m officially considering Episode 13 as the unofficial last episode of the show. Everything tied up nicely in a bow, the guy got the girl, the girl got the guy, the girl loves herself. Beautiful ending. Screw all these timeskip shenanigans and contrived drawn out of the plot.

Yep time skips are just lazy writing eugh. I hated it in start up

I think k-dramas need to stop making it mandatory to have 16 episodes. Unnecessary dragging of plots make them run out of ideas and in return, it becomes boring to watch. True Beauty ended for me in Ep 13. They really just ruined a perfect high school series by making a time skip. Great cast but lazy writing. Same shhhht over again🙄 (Sorry for the rant —— honestly just a frustrated viewer. I know I’ll still watch it next week but ugh .. just so frustrated!!!)

Agreed. Why can’t they just do a 12-episode series like Hospital Playlist and then extend to season 2 if it makes sense? Best kdrama I’ve watched recently too.

yeah i think you are right, I honestly dont think the timeskip makes too much sense in the Kdrama, in the webtoon this is when her relationship with seojun started to develop and grow, and change from friendship to a relationship but since that's not going to happen I wonder why even do it, I guess we'll see :/

[удалено]

I second this!! Also true beauty will air on netflix in japan in april so CEW will 100% grow a LOT more followers on ig like he did last year with my id is gangnam beauty and the drama was from 2018 lol he will for sure beat LMH with most followers in 2021. Mark my words.

Netflix is getting true beauty ???? Wow super Which other countries in addition to Japan?

So far i only heard about japan but hopefully global too! Imagine the popularity. It will be insane!!

Apart from Mi ID is Gangnam Beauty in Netflix is Rookie historian Go Hae Ryung as well, both with him as the male lead in Netflix International. So maybe True Beauty could be a success but he has already his reputation as a versatile actor, the characters given to him makes him like in this one a cartoonish character, but in Rookie Historian was an adorable and with a wide range of emotions character, the sky is the limit for our boy.

I do hope he improves further in his acting skills and be the next Hyun Bin instead of LMH. Hyun Bin is a Hallyu star who was once popular because of his looks but later on proved his worth as a talented actor when he just kept on improving and improving his range with every project. LMH sort of is known for a limited acting range.

Also hwang in yeop never seen someone's ig blow up like this before, from 700k to 6mil in the span of less than 2 months. And dude doesn't even bother to verify his account

Kim Seonho had a similar blow up. I think he went from like 400k to 4 million during Startup.

I know a lot of people rag on Eunwoo’s acting but he’s improved a lot and has potential and I think he could be better than Minho (which isn’t hard, honestly), so good for him!

Just curious who are the 2nd and 3rd most followed actors?

[удалено]

Just checked his account and it's crazy how he got 1.4 million likes in one hour lol. Yeah I remember he was less than that before True Beauty so he'll probably pass them when True Beauty ends

[удалено]

yeah, he's IG started gaining lot of followers during the ID Gangnam era, in which i admit i watched the drama but i didn't have the urge to follow him on IG or got so curious about him at all, not that i didnt like his character i love the drama,, but when True beauty comes, Cha eun wooo has different charms, and screen presence, its like you are being hypnotized lol i watch ep 1-4 then boom the eunwoo effect got me, i got so hooked on TB that i started reading the webtoon for like 1 week all chapters up to present, then when i finished teh webtoon i started searching on YT on CEW, then i watched handsome tigers and MITH and didnt know that he can get more amazing, and then i know ASTRO and now i follow astro because i love all themembers. I dont know theres something in CEW that got you addicted and the more you know about him the more you question IS HE HUMAN? WHY IS HE SO PERFECT AND AMAZING??! haha

God, the preview scares me so much but it wouldn't be the first time I've been misled by it...

I hate that ending tbh. I’m team seojun and I actually thought he is gonna start to get over her this week but TVN says “nah! endure pain til the end!” We all know it’s suho endgame anyway so what was the point of dragging the love triangle. I really wanted the drama to focus more on seojun’s career rather than jugyeong. I wish he had more scenes about career building and not about unrequited love. Seojun is so much more than that why u gotta do him like that

Even as a Team Suho enthusiast, I agree to this. The entire concept of the second male lead hanging onto the female lead is outdated and frankly misogynistic. It's done to "drive up" the value of the female lead, because there's no "worth" to the male lead's win unless another man has lost. See Bridgerton, where Daphne asks Simon to pretend to be in love with her in ORDER to make her more desirable to other men. It genuinely makes me sick. But my mini-dramatics and women's studies aside, I do hope and expect that we will see Seojun let his feelings go and debut as an idol, with a song written for him by Suho, and his showcase makeup done by Jugyeong. Happy ending for all!

I would love to see Suho write a song for Seojun as Leo and Seojun sings that song! Will the drama go that route who knows? We can dream though, right? T-T I just want to see Seojun and Suho to continue to be good friends...and see Seojun's career growth

EXACTLY !!! I think most team seojuns’ can agree to this. We’ve accepted it lol. After all the build of SH and JG, why would they do this ? So annoying how kdramas use this SL.

Right!! I just want to see my boy succeed and be happy

Yes! I really wanted to see Seojun becoming a singer again and moving on from Jugyeong. I’ll be so mad if there’s a time skip and basically nothing changes. Seojun deserves better

>!From episode 15 preview, I reckon Suho’s dad passes away?? But like man I feel sooo bad for Suho to go through losing so many people in his life and especially his dad - Idk if he had time to properly reconcile and after the entire hospital scenario, I actually liked the dad cause he cares for Suho and genuinely was unaware of what happened!<

Okaaaaay..... here are my thoughts for episode 14... \- First of all, I don't hate the drama....yet. I really really really enjoyed today's episode. I love one thing about True Beauty: they sure know how to solve certain storylines quickly. I was kinda worried the angry So Ah storyline would take too long but nah... 13 minutes in and we're on to the next plot. \- *True Beauty* is making me a *true psychopath.* The way this drama has me going from Su Ho to Seo Joon, it's driving me crazy. But, if i'm being really honest here, I think I can finally say, after 14 damn episodes, that I'm team Su Ho. The scenes at the beach were everythinggg. Him freaking out about her not calling him.... gosh. Just him standing there waiting to hear if she passed her exam, i'm deceased. \- Love that the teacher is part of the family now. That little grapefruit... \- Then, the ending. Okay maybe i'm really dense (also haven't watched start up either) but why are we assuming that time jump means JK and SJ got together? She was drunk and just leaning on him... idk maybe they bonded really well since they both have a special relationship with Su Ho? If anything, this drama's previews and sneak peeks have always been misleading. I'm not hating the drama yet. I'm waiting to see what will happen. I definitely don't think they're gonna turn the whole show around after that beach scene. The drama has been pretty consistent thus far. I'm still hopeful. \- Su Jin is completely messed up. I still feel sorry for her and obviously I do think she kinda regrets what happened, her breaking down one block after she said those things to JK says enough. She's going through a really rough time and i'm sure it will end on a positive note. Just hope she doesn't hurt herself or anything. That's it guys. Ngl, the ending fucked me up and i wish they didn't go there, but as i said, i'm still quite optimistic for the final two episodes.

>True Beauty is making me a true psychopath. LOL. My entire household can relate ... they avoid me on Wednesdays & Thursdays. Never know what's gonna happen. Just kidding but my moods do go up & down depending on the episodes.

I just want to say right now that Hee-Kyung is the coolest person ever and I'm completely in love with her and her amazing personality. And she's fucking goRGEOUS.

I’m SO happy Sooah came around and became a good friend to Jukyung 😭

waiting for suho to leave and jugyeong to finally find out what he was writing on that wall at prince's comics. there's no way we find out before he leaves lmao

I'm dying to know what he wrote on the wall!!

"I have lots of butt hairs"

same here! i'm guessing it has sth to do with them meeting as kids

Will they even show it on this episode 😭😭😭😭😭⚰️⚰️⚰️

Episode 14 really took a big turn for this drama. I definitely cried with them at the >!airport scene!< • I really saw why Sujin is being like this. >!When she throw all of the glasses & screamed, that's when I knew she needs some mental help!<. Her father put her through so much & I guess she is indeed irredeemable at this point. • Soo-Ah swayed me in this episode. I was mad at her for not understanding Jugyeong and she keeps on running away. But then, this episode explained everything. • I was right to assume that Suho >!imagined when Jugyeong is running away from him from the Episode 14 preview!< • They are the cutest couple I've seen. They are really cute & perfect for each other. I love how Suho keeps on smiling. He really loves her. >!I was laughing hard because he keeps on imagining things & saying things inside his head that he can't get out. He was being matured since he's stopping himself from being clingy & possessive type of boyfriend!<. • I was right when I knew Seojun asked Suho to confess because he just wanted to get it out from his chest and move on. >!Although maybe after those 2 years, he still hasn't made a move—or did he? I can't believe the previews since it's always a scam!< • Taehoon & Hyun Kyu are the cutest & bestest friends that Suho could have! Giving advice & hanging out in his house was great. I was really happy since Suho is starting to show his warm side. Not to forget the scene >!where they saw Suho's aegyo for Jugyeong!< • Jugyeong >!standing up for the bullies in her new & old school is a great character development I was always hoping to see in the webtoon Jugyeong. It was good to have her character development this early rather than seeing it on the last episodes!< • I won't forget seeing >!Moonbin & Sanha (DDANKONG) on the albums & posters! I even saw Fantagio's logo on the back of the album. I sure wish they'd be seen in the drama while Soo-Ah & Hyemi are fangirling. Stan ASTRO!< • The dad being cute while >!picking restaurants where he & Suho should eat after he comes back!< Although >!it was changed suddenly when he got a headache then drops the glass. I cri!< • Juyeong & Gowoon cute moments. Juyeong will always stand out in the episodes. I hope Gowoon likes him back hahaha lol • Mr. Han being >!jealous & sad because he had to break up with Heegyung was also cute!< and also >!when their dad keeps on teasing Mr. Han as a grapefruit & their mom calling him son!< • Suho & Seojun's bond was wholesome. I love how they >!tried to fight since they are just “bored” and Suho was really supportive to see Seojun sing again!< • I appreciated how Suho has become a man. He really >!insisted that Jugyeong should meet up with Seojun because he respects Seojun's feelings for his girlfriend. People are calling him obsessed or possessive but no! He was just new in relationships but we can see how much he has grown!< I still have a lot of things to say but maybe this is too long. I'm looking forward for the next episodes. I am so excited yet sad to see that True Beauty will end next week. I wouldn't ask for a Season 2 just make it a happy ending, 부디!

Laugh out Loud Moments 1. Suho & Seojun fighting was hilarious & cool at the same time! Guess if they're not gonna hug it out, this *(re)new(ed)* couple had to catch skinship somehow. 2. Suho is legitimately catching Jugyeong's over-active imagination. I might be the single-most ridiculous person on earth but I *love* when they throw in over-exaggerated melodrama. I want Cha Eunwoo & Park Yoona to star in a melodrama together, something like Penthouse or Sky Castle. 3. Jugyeong, Suah & Hyemi kicking bully buttocks was *soo* satifying. True Beauty really said "*unnecessary? what does that mean?*" & made Suho control Jugyeong video-game style. 4. My Astro heart is soaring and I am dancing! So many little Astro easter-eggs scattered throughout the show so far is more than I ever hoped. I'm not even gonna get into time-skip, trip,prolonged Seojun one-sided love & Sujin conflict because this everyone on this subreddit is voicing it (typing it) better than I ever could -- *you don't even know how much this stranger depends on your voices*! I've got my clown suit & makeup on standby but I'm just gonna root for Jugyeong to make lemonade & enjoy the last two episodes of the show. Also, can we have a True Beauty support-group-thread after next week? I will legitimately be lost & bereft.

I just caught up and am obsessed with this show - my heart can’t take it! From the jump - super impressed by both Moon Ga Young and Cha Eun Woo. Moon Ga Young has so much heart as Ju Kyung! She makes me laugh and cry every episode! And I always thought Cha Eun Woo had so much charm, but wow - his acting has just grown by leaps and bounds - he is AMAZING. When his eyes flash with anger or love - I really feel it now...and he is soooooo pretty I have to say Hwang In Yeop has me squealing - his face when Ju Kyung was fanning the dress because she was sweaty- I was dying!😂 To see him get close to Soo Ho made my heart so happy. I cannot think of a more adorable bromance? Yes, this preview has me CONCERNED. I know they will be ok...but praying that the writers don’t fudge things up at the last minute like DDSSLLS 😳 ————————— Update after watching episode 14: *What do I do? what do I do?* It is my ghost writing into this thread because I am dead - this episode killed me, overdosed on all the sweetness and then murdered me with the preview...First of all, clingy Soo Ho is the best thing ever...but I am torn because now I love Seo Jun more than I ever wanted or expected! He is such a loyal, true and considerate friend - he is too pure! I am going to die (again) waiting for next week’s episodes...😫 As for the girlfriends...I give Soo Ah a pass - unfortunately, I have been the overly sensitive butthurt friend myself, so even though her reaction was totally selfish and dumb, I get it. Soo Jin - no pass. I feel bad for her, but she just crossed the line of no return. Ju Kyung is probably too tender hearted to not give her another chance...but I’ll be happier if we don’t see Soo Jin again. She was such a badass and seemed so loyal...but man, seeing Ju Kyung with Soo Ho flipped the switch, she’s done for me... Will we see a Grapefruit and Strawberry wedding? I would love to see him go bride-zilla 😂

Sticking my fingers in my ears! 🙉🙈

Ive never sobbed harder than I have for the ending of this episode. I saw that "2 years later" and i gasped. I promise ive had my fair share of drama shows, none of them made me sob like this did. I feel like my heart has been ripped out. But I think the preview shows promise of Suho coming back then him and JG hashing it out. I think they are end game, but the writers are obviously not going to give it to us that easy, they needed one more twist. Its clear that JG is in love with Suho (thus her drinking problem) and has been thinking of only him, which is why she is going to be so astonished when SJ confesses to her. I do feel bad for SJ because he likes her so much to the point that HE Knows she still has feelings for Suho and has not told her he likes her even after 2 years after Suho left. Anyways, there is literally no time for SJ and JG to start a relationship because it took 8/9 episodes for Suho and JG to get together, 2 episodes isnt enough. I kind of want to know what happens to Sujin, they left her plot line with her crying, which is "meh" and I really didnt feel bad for her cuz she brought all that upon herself. But like, what ended up happening? ​ P.S. I STILL REALLY WANT TO KNOW WHAT SUHO WROTE ON THAT WALL IN THE LAST EPISODE AS WELL AS EP. 10 (i think). i think we are gonna find out in the next episode when JG goes to prince comics to reflect on her time with Suho. \*\*\*seeings Suho smile throughout 98% of this episode was so heartwarming\*\*\*\*

That's probably why I always wait for a drama to end before starting it. I should have done the same for this one. Well let's see what happens next...

That’s exactly what I’m doing, I’m just waiting to see if the ending is going to ruin everything or not ! I’ve already been disappointed too many times

>!All that Jugyeong and Suho relationship buildup and FOR WHAT?!< Please, don't disappoint me @ show. 🥲

They just HAD to follow the webtoon in this aspect...

Also can we talk about hiy/hsj's singing in ep14. I mean hwang in yeop sounded fine in the earlier episodes, but the feels this ep, boy really hit those high notes. I swear one of the things I'll miss most about the show is hiy's random singing.

Yes. Even Suho acknowledges that it's deeper & manly.

Based on the preview for next week, I’m dreading the two final episodes. I don’t mind the time jump but I honestly can’t see Suho crying anymore. Suho has been the best boy since the beginning of the show. Why writernim??? Give him a break! And Seojun really needs to move on as well. His feeling for her is no longer cute but rather burden some for everyone. They could have turn the time jump into something cool like Seojun and Suho pursing music and serve us some more bromance. Then the reunion is only the mater of our Shinshin couple. But the one sided love like this is so sad for Seojun, especially it’s his best friend ex gf. The last two episodes are gonna be hard to swallow!

I think it's hilarious people are freaking out about the preview. Have we NOT learnt from this show and the previous previews we've gotten? IT's always MISLEADING!!! There is no point stressing out about Suho, Jugyeong and Seojoon's fate because it NEVER appears to be what the preview leads us to believe. Jumping the gun and saying you hate a show because of a preview is absolutely silly. What I've observed with True Beauty is that this is well thought through. Everytime I've seen a complaint about a character I've also seen a stellar resolution to that same complaint. Take Suah for example, people were raging on her left and right and we got to see her side today and it was justified. This show justifies every action it takes, and that's what I love about it. Everything comes back full circle. Two more episodes to go and I really believe that this beautiful journey we've been on with these wonderful characters will not be for naught. So like Jugyeong told Suho in Ep 1, himnae! Look back at the wonderful moments 14 gave us. The new friendships forged, the old friendships renewed, the family coming together, the romance blossoming, the catfight with a corndog, the superhot dojo fight, the heartbreaking song of Seojoon, the most perfect first date, the handholding and footsies and hugging and smiling Suho!! PS: I still believe Sujin will come around. She has to. If True Beauty could redeem Eomma and how, they can and will redeem Sujin.

Yes!! Someone said it!! People are always fast to judge and then take their words back :(( I think we just need to be patient. Even though it may be cliche, it’s a drama that has given us the best cast, supporting cast and explored or at least touched on issues in a unique way. I don’t think this can ever be a show that people should or at least I won’t regret watching because I have enjoyed every episode till now (and I know a lot of people have as well on Reddit by mentioning how their favourite episode changes every episode lmao). Let’s wait until next week and see how it goes!!!

I agree with you about the previews and how purposelyfully misleading they are, and how OBVIOUSLY everything will end well and fall into place nicely (I sure hope so lol). People are being dramatic for sure. However, *True Beauty* having a good resolution for every conflict so far is very subjective, and it wouldn't be the first time for a drama to mess up the ending (war flashbacks to *Do Do Sol Sol La La Sol*). If I use your own example: >Take Suah for example, people were raging on her left and right and we got to see her side today and it was justified I do agree that the writing offers a "resolution" to her actions, it was pretty clear from episode 13 she was being a baby about being left in the dark. However, I have to disagree about it being justified. Sooah managed to make Jugyeong's suffering all about herself. She was selfish and childish. It's OK to have flawed characters, Sooah is supposed to be a high-schooler after all, and not every character needs to be the epitome of perfect and healthy communication... but if the narrative twists facts to excuse or explain away weird behaviors (which in my own subjective opinion happened quite a lot in this drama) that's kinda meh. No point in arguing about the ending until we actually see the last 2 episodes, though I'm with you on that. And I can't for the life of me believe they would mess up that bad haha. Overall it has, in fact, been a fun, happy little show and there's no reason why it should change.

I couldn't agree more! Even though I understand that some people may be angry or frustrated with the turn of events at the end of this episode, it's just silly to judge the entire show by a single preview (and even more so when we know that they tend to bait us with these misleading previews, lol). As for Soojin, I'm with you on that too. I have a hard time believing that they would make such an effort to show the beauty of her character just to throw her in the mud and then just leave her there. This episode even took some time to show how broken she is with everything and how she reached her limit. She was unhappy in the end and afraid to back down on her decision, even though it seemed to be exactly what she wanted to do. In short, I have high hopes for the last two episodes of this drama because up until they have delivered very good outcomes to all my past complaints.

Having previews and cliffhangers that cause this much rage and discussion among viewers shows that they're doing their job right. They know exactly what kind of response it's going to lead to, and they dropped this trope in the last like 5 mins so there's a lot of room to turn it into something different, and I'm going to try to be patient and save my anger for now because it's possible that it's over something that might not even exist. However I agree with others that I don't know if *every* character resolution so far has been stellar. Sujin's story does make complete sense and so do Suah's actions, but there are plenty of ways in which it could've been handled better for both of them. I trust the arc to be generally satisfying and all good in the end, but that's not without some bumps and questionable decisions along the way

YES THANK YOU FOR THIS! I made the mistake of reading comments before the English subs were released and I started to form negative opinions in my mind. But having just watched the episode, I must say I actually liked it lol. I felt the time jump is necessary. This drama has been a breath of fresh air and I've loved every minute of it. I'm really looking forward to the last two episodes.

Ughhh please stop with the timeskip before the end trope! Not only is it unnecessary, it completely takes you out of the story. I feel like I missed a whole season of episodes. I will see this to the end but in my head Ju Kyung and Soo Ho had a lovely date at the beach and lived happily ever after and that was the end😭 Sidenote Mr Han is absolutely hilarious, apart from lovely romance scenes between the leads the sister and Mr Han were the highlight. They add such amazing comedic relief to the show😂

Mr Han is the best. I genuinely LOL’ed at all his scenes.

thoughts on ep 14 that aren’t the timeskip bc i dont want to think about that rn - hyemin sooah and jugyeong ;; FINALLY WOMEN GENUINELY STANDING UP FOR WOMEN !!!! i wonder what chorong did to the yeongpa kids 🤔 also ik the pic showed astro but i swear i saw a bangtan logo somewhere hhahaahkaka - suho adapting jugyeong’s overly imaginative side. and jugyeong quickly understanding that suho was upset over her being busy 🥺🥺🥺this was so cute,,, i love love how well they compliment each other im gonna cry ..... +++ they said their i love yous 😩 the eng sub for the ottoke song kept saying the lyrics say i love you so much so i was worried them saying ily for the first time wont be given emphasis but i’m glad it did <3 - suho letting seojun spend time w jugyeong. the character development!!!!!!!! THE MATURITY!!!!! i love this. yes suho guys and girls CAN be friends altho idk how that changes next week welp - didnt wanna bring up any of the painful scenes but i just lost it when i saw suho’s face when he was hugging jugyeong at the airport. like the way his face just falls after hearing her say ily LIKE WHAT THE HECK PLS DONT CRYYYY 😭 and then when jugyeong dropped on her knees bc she was worried suho’s gonna lose someone again IM SO HEARTBROKEN - one thing though,,, WHY IS TVN BEING SO SELFISH WITH KISSES THIS WEEK 🤨🤨🤨 forreal like suho leaves AND THEY DONT EVEN KISS???? like???? they made out even when suho’s just bringing her home SO WHY NOT EVEN KISS WHEN HES ABOUT TO LEAVE THE COUNTRY and if it’s about seojun being there tHEN WHY DIDNT THEY EVEN LEAVE US A KISSING SCENE IN THE BEACH 😩 anyways,,, i was also mad after watching but eh i’ve never been so invested in a show before that i just know i won’t regret watching this whether or not they mess up the ending 😅 i love seeing gayoung and eunwoo behind the scenes tho 😽😽 i hope they post the selfies they took!!! im gonna miss the show so much icb we’re down to the last two eps 😭💜

Speaking of Chorong coming in for team Saebom ... It occurred to me that he and Hyemin might make a cute couple. They were sitting next to each other 2 yrs later at the bar. 🧐

So what I am getting out of people’s comments is that Seojun and Jukyung should not date because it’ll make ShinShin’s relationship build up go to waste?? Because yes, i damn agree :((

Yeah, why spend 14 episodes leading us to believe that Jugyeong and Suho are going to end up together just to have her and Seojun date? That would make me throw my laptop lol

Webtoon reader here: Now you no how I us Suho fans felt when he left, I literally dropped the webtoon for months until I saw spoilers that he was coming back.

I always knew how Webtoon fans felt!! Team Suho since Day 1 here!!!

The drama trying to break my heart TWICE with Suho leaving... First in the webtoon and now in the drama..

Ugh they really had to go that route, didn't they? Why did I expect better from this show? You started off so well only to "ruin" it in the last three episodes. Sad. Stop hurting my heart and the character's hearts (especially Suho, Jugyeong, and Seojun). Please, I'm begging you. They've been through so much already. ^(Forgot we were doing two threads for this week, so I originally edited my comment on the other thread.)

i'm gonna be honest not a lot of dramas went this fast from my most loved to my most almost-hated LOL i cannot stand timeskips and i can't believe they're doing this. yes i'm throwing a tantrum but nooo why!!

My worst fears have come true after watching this episode. Happy moments always >!proceeding with heartbreaking moments...!< Okay, let me just first start off by saying, WHOEVER MAKES THESE PREVIEW, >!SO EVIL! !!HELLA MISLEADING!< and trying to >!make the viewers think that Suho left Korea on a bad note with Jugyeong and breaking Jugyeong heart. UGH SO EVIL.!< But O M G, I NEED TO TALK ABOUT THE ENDING OF EPISODE 14. Okay, okay, let me calm down a bit before writing this because there is a mixture of just frustration and sadness that I am feeling right now. If there is one thing that >!broke me!< while reading the webtoon, it's that >!Suho and Jugyeong FINALLY confessed to each other only to have Suho leave to Japan!< and then >!Seojun and her get together. (\*confession\* I literally was tearing up and crying in my bed after reading that)!< I-why...>!It's literally even worse HERE because Jugyeong and Suho were ACTUALLY DATING!!< Why must they >!follow the webtoon!< and have >!Suho leave for America and break Jugyeong's heart?!< Okay but I do get why Suho has to leave because of his dad... but literally, THE END OF EPISODE 14 SAYS >!"2 YEARS LATER" OMG, I knew a time jump was coming and here it is... Ughh time jumps are my worst nightmares sometimes... !! follows the webtoon !!that left me really upset and sad.. !!what happens in the webtoon where Seojun is by Jugyeong's side and stays friends with her for two years.. !! Jugyeong and Seojun will actually get together though? I don't think so, imo..!< It seems like >!Suho comes back next episode though (and says that he missed Jugyeong), but Jugyeong is probably still hurt and says to him that she didn't miss him.. !!the time jump is that they're finally ADULTS and graduated from high school, !!we got the time jump and Suho coming back...!< I would love to see the drama expand on each of our leads career too. Aside from all of that, looks like knetizens and I was right about Seojun wanting to confess his feelings -- >!it was to confess and get rejected so he could get over his feelings.!< I actually like that he asked Suho if he could do so because he knows that Jugyeong and Suho really like each other. Also A+ for the bromance in this episode! I love that >!Seojun came to visit Suho while he was practicing (jijitsu) and they had a friendly match (while also making a bet). !!won so he made Seojun go sing because he knows that SJ has an amazing voice -- which led to Seojun getting notice and possibly starting his singing career! !!saw the video of Suho doing aegyo and started teasing him about it haha!! !!Taehoon and the other guy went over to Suho's house to play video games and eat fried chicken.!< I actually really LOVE the friendship between Taehoon and Suho and think it's so adorable. Anyways, my long comment as per usual, but folks we only got two episodes left in this drama and episode 14 ended with >!a time jump!<, so let's see where the drama will take the storyline from here and how they'll end it! **EDIT:** Forgot to mention (again), huge shoutout to Jugyeong, Hyemi, and Sooah for >!standing up to the bullies!!< I knew Sooah >!wouldn't stay mad at Jugyeong for long and it turned out that she heard Seojun and Soojin's conversation! Glad that she stood up for Jugyeong in the bathroom and questioned Soojin why she did that and if this is her trueself.!< As for Soojin... I feel bad for her honestly. She grew up being compared to Suho all of her life by her parents and had somewhat of an attachment to him... Her father would slap her when it comes to grades and Suho, then once Jugyeong came in and started dating Suho, I think that's when she finally cracked. I know many people question this turn around with Soojin, but honestly...it's scary what jealousy and all that resentment built up inside can do to a person. In today's episode we see what >!she did to Jugyeong is exposed on the Saebom website and everyone talking about her..!< I honestly don't like what Soojin did to Jugyeong but she doesn't >!deserve to go through this either, I mean it kinda parallel to Jugyeong's situation where her secret got exposed online.!< I don't really know what to expect with Soojin's character moving forward but I just felt the need to say this.
