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.

I would also like to add the fact that Jugyeong and Seojun don’t share any of the deep emotions they individually went though. Suho knows how hard it was for Jugyeong (though I am not the hugest fan of the webtoon Jugyeong, I do feel like she went though a lot) and that is something really important; their relationship is one of trust and confiding about pain. I often think the reason why the author put together the Seojun and Jugyeong dating arc is to kind of reflect on how Jugyeong and Suho’s relationship was way too emotional for a teenager to handle and that’s why even in her 20s Jugyeong is with Seojun where their emotions isn’t the focus of their relationship. Yeah there is attraction and friendship and lots of infatuation but there isn’t anything really concrete. Suho and Jugyeong have unconditional trust in each other which is why I root for them a lot more.

I thought she had to tell her something much greater. “Be happy. I love you.” That’s nothing. Ha-na. There’s nothing greater than that.

I thought I would live differently until I die. But a lot of good people filled those differences. That’s why I am where I am now. For filling in what I lack, thank you.

I’m leaving.

[caramelkane]

To become lovers from friends is simple. One person has to step closer. This step… changes their relationship. Like this.

[caramelkane]

I… still love myself the way I am. I only want myself to do well.

“Bong-sook, is this your number? It’s me, sunbae.

Hey, you despicable coward! You leave and abandon me in that mess by myself and now you’re nowhere to be found? You want to die? Do you want me to kick your butt? Are you okay? This is my number so call me and let me know that you’re okay. I was too busy today, and wasn’t able to take care of you.

You’re okay, right?” – Yeong-shin
