i really wish the love triangle kinda slowing down and ended right after this episode because i wanna see Suho x Seojun relationship development. because im so so excited whenever i see both of them in my screen together (not fighting, not angry at each other) i wanna see Jukyung's parent development too. they need to know how much their daughter suffer because of her look.

Personaly, I laughed a lot during the elevator scene : JK holding her breath with the guys in pink, SH giving her the cup, JK getting out like a ninja 🤣

I prefer SH and Seo-Joon's bromance scenes than the ones when they fight for JK. It's time they talked about the misunderstanding...

Seo-Joon was cute during the crying scene, his little heart was broken but he still consoled her.

I'm scared about Soo-Jin's futur development as a character. I don't want to see her becoming the mean second female role... I want her to fight against her bad parents with the help of her friends.

Thanks, @missvictrix, for the weecap! I loved that scene where Su-ho puts his head on Seo-jun's shoulder to show he's bored with what SJ's talking about. I hope Ju-kyung's mom realizes that as she constantly tells her daughter that she's ugly, it's the same treatment she got from her old school. Now that she knows how to put on proper make up, she's getting happier in her new school. And how cute is Ju-kyung's brother with Go-woon? After all the ugly jokes he's been giving his sister, he falls for a similar girl. But they're still cute! 😍🥰

Sure we know Su-ho is princecharming.com, but I have a soft spot for Seo-joon. He's just adorably grouchy (and so pretty to look at). Even his mum and sister condemned the second lead in dramas and he was like "it's not a crime to fall in love"😂😂😂

I think he's been "brother-zoned" though. I wish Ju-kyeong had at least listened to his whole song so I could hear it too! *cries*. Hwang In-yub is 30 but he's playing the role of an 18 year-old better than any of the cast who are younger than him by the way.

Favorite scenes:
1) stuck-in-an-elevator-plus-double-wrist-grab (how's that for a trope sandwich?) And the coffee cup. What was Su-ho thinking.😂
2) uniting in the face of a common enemy during the baseball game😂😂
3) going after the "ghost" and of course, Seo-joon is the one who drops down in a faint when he sees the "ghost".
4) that slo-mo fight in the fluffy field. I haven't read the manhwa so I don't know any better, but it looked like the ridiculous ending choreography out of WARRIOR BAEK DONG SOO. My mind was in sageuk mode thanks to...
5) the fantasy sageuk framing episode 8. Which was beautifully shot. I think it was a nod to ROOKIE HISTORIAN (which also starred Cha Eun-woo).

Thanks for the weecap @missvictrix!

P.S.: I'm expecting Oh Nam-ju from EXTRAORDINARY YOU to make a cameo appearance anytime now.

I think that her scenes with Seojun are cuter than those with Suho, although both are fun to watch. In spite of this, I would be happy with whichever fellow she decides to stick with.

That said, when she complained to Suho about why makeup is so important to her, and her Mother doesn't know, I think we may get to the crux of the show. Eventually, Ju Kyung will stand up to the bullies from her old school, and most importantly, she'll be comfortable in her own skin. Likewise, she'll have friends that like her for who she is, and not what she looks like.

That said, ironically, I think that they may have more scenes with "pretty" Ju Kyung because frankly, it's a lot more work for the actress to be turned into the "ugly" version.

Whatever the case and whatever the outcome, the show continues to be both funny and wildly entertaining. I'm sure that for a rom/com, Moon Ga Young is a bit surprised how much running she has to do, LOL.

Thank you, @missvictrix for your delightful recaps. Your squeeing is so.much.fun.
I am still catching up and in the meantime I went and checked out the original webtoon. It was interesting to see what changes the team made. I definitely prefer this version. One thing I can say is that Moon Ga-young owns this character and has brought her to life as a delightful heroine to root for ( she spoiled me for webtoon character).

As a webtoon reader, I'm kinda sad that the drama is deviating away from the webtoon more and more each episode. (Tho I understand bc they had to give the drama more depth and heart)

Maybe I'm just sad they keep giving Seojun's webtoon scenes to Suho in the drama. I'm Team Suho too but I loved Seojun's character so much that I'm sad he's being treated like this in the drama (also maybe it's bc of my new found love for HIY lol).

I mean, for once please give the boy some decent scenes with Jugyeong without Suho having to snatch her away from him. Lol. I love seeing Inyeop and Gayoung on screen together. They have so much chemistry!

I still love Suho tho. He's so cute and I love his comical moments with Jugyeong the best.

Also, I'm so glad Gayoung got casted bc I doubt we'd get a Jugyeong as cute and hilarious as this had she not been the one playing her. She's totally slaying this role!

So anyway, I love some changes they made and it's overall a cute and fluffy drama and if it continues like this, I bet it's gonna be one of those dramas I'd come back to everytime I want to watch something cute.

I think i like the way the fleshed out the older sister the best. I love the way they have applied the traditional male pursuer trope to her and not the teacher. I find it refreshing and hilarious she is doing everything a ML would do to seduce the FL. (buying shoes, sending flowers etc). She is making all the first moves and i really like that we get to see it, but not in an arrogant way.
P.s i love all the meta drama refrences in this.

I love that this drama continues to bring the cute and funny!! I was really behind this week, but these episodes brightened my mood.

The boat scene had a lovely atmosphere and, like Joo Kyung said, it was like a fairy tale. But Soo Ho's confession and their first kiss scene was sweet. It was way better than the 'perfect' boat ride Soo Ho prepared while trying to quiz her because he confessed to her bare, true face and cleared any misunderstandings.

I was dreading this about Soo Jin's character. Love square. Her feelings seemed to happened more recently after her personal teary outburst to Soo Ho. She realized his usual cold self cared for her compared to how he acted to most others.

I'm not a major baseball fan at all, but I noticed Ryu Hyung Jin's name being similar to the famous, real life baseball player Ryu Hyun Jin. XD He looked so big and tall; I was worried he was in university, but thankfully, he wasn't.

Joo Kyung is always hilarious!!! I was dying the way she scrambled out of the elevator and left the guys without a backward glance. LOLLLLLLL. Su Ho was truly crazy with his cup idea. 😂😂😂 And the way she climbed up the tree in the woods... She was so fast. XD

Treasuring all of Seo Joon's scenes. It felt like there weren't many, but he had some good moments. Maybe I wanted more time with him and Joo Kyung. Couldn't enjoy his performance much because I felt bad for her. Hope we get to see him sing again and where he is enjoying it. Motivated to sing for himself.

Am I the only one who didn't recognize Hwang In Yeop from A Tale of Nokdu?
He is doing such a great job here and I hope they keep developing his story line, just awy from the love triangle.

This show has turned into such a bright spot and I hope it stays that way.

Thanks @missvictrix - another great week in the True Beauty universe. It just makes me smile. Love a school trip - although I was mostly amused by the extremely high quality glamping the kids got. Woa, that school has a budget the size of a corporation if the kids get to stay in tents like that... :) :) :)

The symbolism of Su-ho kissing Ju-gyeong barefaced -- he likes the real her. On the boat, I wish he had asked, "Do you like me?" after his "Do you like taking photos? riding in a boat? listening to music?" questions because she would've subconsciously answered, "joahae" just like when she blurted out "Yes!" in the lie detector game before realizing Su-ho was there. The boat would've been the perfect confession had Ju-gyeong not fallen into the lake, but it was sweet of him to offer to get her makeup.

Su-ho was so melt this week, but if I didn't want to slap him every time he was mean to Ju-gyeong. I melted when he held her hand in the taxi, but when she asked him if he wanted to go to Prince Comics, he rejected and took a taxi instead of the bus. Then like Ju-gyeong, my eyes lit up when he called out her name, expecting him to take her somewhere else, only for him to stop her from getting in. But Boy was the worst at the study cafe. I died when Su-ho opened his eyes and stared back at her staring at him, but he scolded poor Ju-gyeong just so her friends wouldn't catch him. Though he redeemed himself by comforting her after she cried and complimenting her for trying her best.

I wonder if Seo-jun's wish from singing his song will be to go on a date with Ju-gyeong. I adored their shopping trip for Go-woon's birthday gift and was riled that Su-ho interrupted. While it was precious how Seo-jun changed all his answers from 5 to Ju-gyeong's favorite 3, I wish he had remembered the question she tested him on and at least answered one correctly.

Ju-gyeong and Su-jin's friendship is heart, especially sharing secrets with each other. Su-jin is blinded by love, but I hope she's realized Su-ho's feelings if not from looking for Ju-gyeong in the forest, hearing he was with her, then surely after Su-ho snatched the necklace away.

Tae-hoon is the best wingman ever. Thanks a ton for the recap, @missvictrix!
