It's been 12 years (Boys Over Flowers' Go Jun Pyo) since I was so immersed to a fictional character especially in a drama.

Since I read the webtoon last 2019 until now, I knew already the plot and I expected the webtoon will be the same with the drama adaptation. In webtoon, I rooted first for Jugyeong and Suho but after he left for Japan, here comes Seojun who confessed after 2 years and became Jugyeong's first boyfriend, kiss and the guy who supported her during those 2 years she felt hopeless. During the past that Suho is her first love, Seojun never meddled with her feelings but still he kept his feelings for her not only for Jugyeong but for Suho, his best friend. After 2/3 years (can't remember), he confessed and Jugyeong felt the same also and they became a couple in the webtoon. Quarrels and misunderstanding came along their way but these made their relationship grew stronger. But when he pursued his dream as an idol because it seemed like everything is falling apart around him(he's not that typical rich kid since he had some part-time jobs) , he decided to debut as an idol. Then, this became a hurdle for the two of them where she needed to break up with him in order for him to become a successful. Others may say it is a cliché type of plot, but no you can felt the great and selfless love of Jugyeong to Seojun especially when she suffered from the bashers and the way she kept missing him and their sweet moments. No wonder I rooted also for them in the drama but I'm wrong, the sweet moments and story line for Han Seojun were given to Lee Suho(to make it clear ,I have no hard feelings towards the actor and character, it's just the sudden change).

#Repost @unnie_pop ... ¡OMG, esto no lo esperábamos! ⠀ Hwang In Yeop fue parte de una entrevista y photoshoot para la revista 'W Korea', donde habló sobre su personaje Seojun en "True Beauty" y cómo este sigue permaneciendo en su diario vivir. ⠀ Primero contó sobre la gran popularidad de su rol en el drama. Él expresó: "Aunque usara mascarilla, la gente me miraba los piercings y el cabello y comentaban ‘¡Oh, es Seojun!‘". Luego comentó que él hubiese actuado distinto con respecto a Seojun y Jugyeong: "Hay algo que lamento. Si hubiera sido yo (en lugar de Seojun), no habría dejado ir a Jugyeong. No me habría quedado al lado de ella solo para dejarla ir después". ⠀ Después reveló que su personaje en "True Beauty" sigue impregnado en su diario vivir: "Todavía uso inconscientemente el tono y los gestos de Han Seo Jun". Aparentemente, los gestos del personaje lo han afectado tanto que su personal notan algunas similitudes. ⠀ Finalmente, Hwang In Yeop habló sobre el triángulo amoroso del drama: "Entre la amistad y el amor, solo perderás el amor si eliges la amistad, pero si eliges el amor, debes estar preparado para perder ambos". ⠀ Awwwww, ya queremos verlo en un nuevo drama como protagonista😍💗 ⠀ ---- 👁️‍🗨️Recuerda opinar con prudencia y respetar las diferencias.

Thoughts on True Beauty and Why I’m On Team Suho

Ever since the tv show started, I’ve begin thinking and noticing for a while now that, more than anything, I’m more #TeamSuho than I am #TeamSeojun.

And the thought of “why do I think like that?” kept repeating in my head, because, if I’m honest, the casualness that Seojun and Jugyeong shared early in the series (I’m talking webtoon and, truth be told, a bit of the tv series) really struck me as them having a much easier and playful, therefore fun, relationship. Which makes for an interesting dynamic than what Jugyeong had with Suho.

So, here are my thoughts why I think I prefer Suho with Jugyeong towards the end.

To warn, this is, firstly, have nothing against any of the characters or the ships! I’m merely sharing an in-depth analysis of my thoughts on my own view why I prefer Suho with Jugyeong. Secondly, I’ll be referencing a lot of the webtoon rather than the tv series (although I feel like I’d like to spill my thoughts on that soon, so I don’t know if that long analysis of “why I surprisingly find myself enjoy the adaptation more than I thought I would” is coming soon, buuuut yeah, we’ll see) so, please be aware of spoilers.

As reference, I’m currently at Chapter 124 of the English-translated version of True Beauty as I’m writing this, but I am aware of spoilers ahead of the chapters.

Another Warning: This is so long. Oh my god. How did I manage to write it this long? So. There’s that.

Okay. So. What brought this on?

Honestly, it was just the excitement from knowing that True Beauty was airing soon and I was just so interested to see the dynamics the actors were going to play out rather than just seeing the characters across the a page screen in comic strips as I’ve been following them since I stumbled into the webtoon about, yikes, a year ago?

But – more than anything, I just really wanted to see how Suho played out.

1. So, What’s The Deal With Suho?

If I’m honest, I’ve always thought that Suho is laughably (yikes) boring. Not necessarily in a bad way, no! I actually think it’s one of the things that’s made him quite appealing — in ways that, in other settings, I would have actually found him uninteresting and easily passable as a main lead. But not in this particular world.

To add: the Author also referenced this many, many times throughout the webtoon. Quite brilliantly, in fact — specifically, from Sua’s point of view, as she points out quite a few times that, besides from Suho’s looks, “he’s really got nothing going on for him” or that “he’s boring”. (I frickin’ love Sua in both the webtoon and tv show!)

This was also a really important plot device during the Prince of Princes (Did I get this name right? Omg) competition TV show when the influencer (again, I really can’t be bothered with what’s-his-name) actually called Suho out for basically “not trying his best” when everybody else was clearly giving his all. This triggered Suho to actually act outside of his comfort zone and actually wanted to pose for a sexy photoshoot.

I do also honestly think he’s clinically depressed on top of just having had naturally adapted a much calmer composure to compare with an easily expressive Jugyeong and a very charismatic Seojun. But the thing is, the author really made Suho “boring” on purpose — and the best thing is? It works.

Because as much as Suho is “expressionless” — as in, he doesn’t really emote whatever his feelings as honest or as obvious as the other two leads — he can still carry his character well. Like Jugyeong has learned over time, we start to figure out that, oh, Suho has to put his act together because his father’s famous and he doesn’t want to tarnish that reputation. He’s ruthless to admirers because he’s logical about rejecting unwanted advances. He’s surprisingly rigid and slightly cold, but only because he’s used to only have himself as company.

In all honesty, I’m still trying to wrap my head around Suho. I still don’t quite understand why I’m so fascinated by his personality when, if those sort of “dark brooding” tropes were played in other medias, I would have rolled my eyes and rejected it instantly for how much it’s overplayed.

But I didn’t. Not with Suho. 

Perhaps, an angst-lover at heart, his unrequited relationship with Jugyeong really struck with me. His patience when he’s obviously hurting as Jugyeong dismissed their almost-romance, or when Seojun and her were being lovey-dovey in front of him was really incredible. Suho rarely lost his composure, which was quite a feat considering as readers we know he still has lingering feelings towards Jugyeong, and I felt like that spoke volume about his character.

(Besides that, Suho was always so incredibly respectful — not only towards Jugyeong but also towards Seojun. Seojun obviously learned it much later on, but Suho never once carried any ill-intention when he learned Seojun and Jugyeong were together. In fact, again and again, he congratulated and cheered them on, even when we knew later that he feels awful for the lost chances. Still, Suho never acted violently or aggressively. Not once. It was only Seojun who had easily misunderstood him and thus, reacted badly.)

(Although again, that’s so brilliant on the author — because Seojun’s quick-temper is such a staple and big part of what made Seojun Seojun. I’m happy that he acted that way, because that meant his characteristics are consistent from when we first saw him in the webtoon. Of course, that doesn’t mean the temper in and of itself is always good, but — it’s realistic for him.)

2. So, Why Jugyeong and Suho?

Now, this is the part where it gets tricky.

A lot of the fans — some of which are my own friends, and people I knew — abandoned the webtoon because the drama has gotten “tacky” or Jugyeong’s growth has been “stunted” for a few chapters. I can’t say I totally disagree, because I do see there’s quite a lag in the plot, buuuuuuut.... I do feel like the author adds that in on purpose.

Of course! I might be wrong! But hear me out.

I think it’s on purpose because it wants to show the development of Seojun and Jugyeong’s relationship – and why it didn’t work. (Again, anything can happen; I’m only at Ch124, so things might still change for Team Seojun!) Of course, for all those who are aware of the spoilers, the answer was simple: they didn’t work because the agency asked Jugyeong to stop dating Seojun due to his rising status as an idol.

It’s more than that, though.

I’ve also been reading a few comments and some of them pointed out how they thought that Jugyeong has always seemed more relaxed and more playful when she’s with Suho than she is when she’s with Seojun. But... I do have to slightly disagree. Only slightly. Because, if we review the arc during their high school when Jugyeong liked Suho, she was obviously more comfortable and were able to tease and be more playful with Seojun — but she was a little guarded with Suho, which was understandable. She didn’t want to look bad in front of her crush.

I’ve always felt a little threatened at this point because, man, Seojun and Jugyeong’s chemistry was so, so good during this arc. I love Seojun, I really do. He is such a nice and considerate man in ways that I really didn’t think he could be when we saw him as a teenager — but the author really pulled him off well. And he’s so sweet, too? So loyal? Ugh.

The downside is, though — he doesn’t push Jugyeong.

More than that, their relationship (perhaps because they were each other’s first true, committed relationship) really caused each other massive anxiety. Jugyeong wasn’t really honest all the time due to this — not her feelings and not her concerns, and Seojun became an unnecessarily worry-wart even when he shouldn’t be. This had, several times, led him to become inconsiderably possessive i.e. during the time he fought with Suho when Suho had only wanted to help.

Of course, they sort the issue out in the end and Seojun started to reform himself to be an even better partner. But... you can tell, in a lowkey sort of way, that the good-feeling they had when they were just friends, it isn’t really there anymore. They don’t really have fun together. (Although maybe that’s just because Seojun became busy and/or the author skip most of their dates along, so — I might be biased a bit regarding this!)

But with Suho, even as friends, Suho has always pushed Jugyeong — more than just about her bare face, he pushed her to pursue what she wants to do. Not only that, he encouraged it; he helped her.

Which is why I think the plot became slightly stagnant in the moment: because, like Jugyeong, we’re focusing too much on her relationship with Seojun and what would it mean when Seojun became an idol. We’re carried along with her anxiety, with their upside down, with Jugyeong’s worries. We’re stuck in Jugyeong’s first relationship — and that’s it.

But with Suho, the plot moves: Suho pushes Jugyeong to study, Suho talks to her about her ambitions, Suho makes her confronts her fears, and one of the best parts of the series so far — when Suho was consulting her after Selena scolded Jugyeong for messing up on set — Suho recognised what she wants to do, what she likes to do, and he encourages her for it. He comforts her, and tells her to not give up. So now, we see her wanting to try her best in wanting to help Selena.

With Suho, I feel as if... Jugyeong’s focus grows more than just her being upset about one single relationship. Suho’s calamity and logic straightforwardness probably helps — it doesn’t cause as much anxiety as Suho’s relatively honest, which Jugyeong can depend on and seems to explicitly trust — and Jugyeong’s story, once again, grows to be more than just another love story.

It’s become a story of her trying to find a place in the world again, of her trying to figure out what exactly she can do for herself despite all these obstacles and hurdles.

I’m not saying with Seojun, she doesn’t go through any character development at all, no — but her focus tends to single-handedly narrow towards Seojun directly and their relationship, and it leaves very little for Jugyeong to really consider anything else, specially her own growth, which is equally important.

With Suho, she’s just able to do that a bit better, and we can see she’s slightly more comfortable too.

(And, before anybody comes at me, yes, I do think Jugyeong pushes Suho too. She literally recommends Suho books that he doesn’t seem he was going to read anytime soon, or he could’ve overlooked it easily — but she does that. She pushes him out of his comfort zone and suggested a new author / series. And Suho reads it, and he learns that he likes it. It’s the same when she recommends the music app. Or the hairdo. She’s always been a giant force pushing Suho forward; Suho’s always trying to change and/or improve himself when Jugyeong comes in.)

3. Conclusion

This is sooo long so I thank you if you’ve made it this far! I’m just really, really happy with the TV series and these thoughts about why I adore Suho have been nagging at me.

I hope everyone likes the full analysis of my messy thoughts as much as I enjoyed writing it fully on a whim at 1am.

My fav 30 romance webtoons [20-11]

my fav 30 romance webtoons [30-21] 

20. Beware of the Villainess This is hilarious! Dumb af, but the memes are on point. Love it. 

19. Ellin’s Solhwa The art catches eyes. The men are so damn attractive… I need moooore! Even when it’s a simple, predictable isekai, I still like it a lot. 

18. True Beauty Love the story and the art style. #teamseojun all the way. I’m eagerly looking forward for more.

17. Something About Us It was extremely good, but at the same time I hated a lot of moments, so it’s only on the 17th position. It started great, but I didn’t feel satisfied enough at some point, unfortunately. Still worth reading. 

16. Remarried Empress Okay, so… the king is so fucking stupid that I’m reading it while screaming inside my head “Where’s the logic in this? How can he lead a country when he’s so dumb? What a shithead.” But he’s not our main lead lol, so we don’t have to worry so much… the rest of the story is pretty cool! 

15. Cherry Blossoms It was a great, short story that I’ve really enjoyed. Art style is simple, but attractive for an eye and cute. It gave me a breath of fresh air and warmed my heart. I feel like it could have been longer and have been developed a little bit more, but maybe the way it was portrayed like this is what it makes so special. 

14. Edith It definitely deserves the popularity it receives. When I picked it up I couldn’t stop reading it. 

13. Odd Girl Out I know, I know… It’s not a romance. But it has a feeling of a shoujo manga, so I had to put it here. It’s excellent! The characters have realistic behaviors and the dramas are portrayed realistically too. I could see myself in this world. 

12. Lore Olympus It’s sooooo fantastic, but at the same time realistic. It shows a lot of problems in human relationships. How easily they can get shattered and how hard it is to put them back together. How awful some people can be and how simply they can change our whole life or our view of the world. 

11. The Girl from Class Again, a quick story from the same author as Cherry Blossoms. The story keeps a decent pace till the end and it doesn’t feel too rushed. It portrays how hopeless we can be when we think we’re in love. Because the webtoon is really short, the plot and characters couldn’t thoroughly develop, but it still managed to become pretty deep and… somehow sad.
