True Beauty Ep. 3
Added 2022-06-19 04:47:08 +0000 UTCThis original post for episode 3 of True Beauty got messed up, but we have reuploaded it here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/79761741?pr=true
Looks like Su Ho might have Ju Gyeong figured out and Seo Jun looks suspicious AF! Also, we get teary-eyed from Ju Gryeong's breakdown (Free cried for sure!) and discuss the social issues this amazing show tackles. Pretty sure we're hooked!

Bless you ladies for pointing out and discussing the serious social issues involved in the drama! That's what keeps drawing me back to it again and again.

2022-07-08 01:46:42 +0000 UTCTrue Beauty also deals with the subject of how to work through personal pain in healthy, not destructive ways. All 3 main characters have serious issues that they have to figure out. For example, we already know that a friend died through suicide. Suho is really lonely and has a lot of anger (so does Han So-Jun); Su Ho's mother died and he is distant from his father. He's had no one to mentor him or show him through example (and love) how to approach Ju-Gyeong with his true feelings. Someone who is hurting would mostly be afraid of rejection (even if they are not aware of it). All three characters need to find their "true beauty" through healing and living authentically. After all Su Ho and Seo Jun used to be best friends. Interesting Fact: Chani, the Maknae of SF9, played the deceased friend.

2022-06-21 11:35:01 +0000 UTCYou guys should add the kdrama 'Extraordinary You' to your watch list, the next episode and the first episode of True Beauty have actors and direct references to that drama, I believe because they were both done by the same director. Rowoon from SF9 is in it, Also I wish you guys could do more eps per week, bc I love my bias Eun Woo as well, but really enjoying the ride ladies thanks ♥️

2022-06-21 00:35:54 +0000 UTCWe really wish we could do more episodes a week but on top of all our other recordings and TB episodes already being over an hour, we just wouldn't have the time. So sorry! Really wish we could.

2022-06-20 02:44:37 +0000 UTCWell, we thank you for sharing your story and are happy you're doing so well. Pretty sure this was said in Discord as well but Free has a child who is autistic so this touched her. But both of us can relate in a lot of ways to being bullied which is why this show is so easy to relate to as well. We want everyone here to feel free to be themselves and be open, so don't apologize. We love getting to know everyone!

2022-06-19 23:06:56 +0000 UTCI was going to say a few things on Suho vs Seojun, but I think even saying those few things would be an unintentional spoiler lol. I'm going to let you 2 debate that with yourselves and I'll give my POV after the last episode. You got the pronunciation of their names right at the end, but best to google it to hear it (this is what I do) or read the names in hangul if you know how to read hangul. I don't think there's an easier way to spell it in romanization than what's in the synopsis. That wasn't my comment on the social issues, but I don't care if you ever mention my name, you can call me Adore (I'm prob going to change it back to this on here, it's been my gamer tag for over 15 years and I answer to as easily as my real name lol). Even after watching this drama over 5 times (way more, don't ask, this is my comfort drama lol), I still cry during the emotional parts. This will probably get long, but the social issues this drama touches on are really close to my heart. It's the main reason I started reading the webtoon in the first place back in 2018. Like I had previously said, the webtoon is way different than the drama, so it doesn't touch on these issues as in depth, but the main similarity that is most important to me is that Suho fell for her without makeup, knowing she shared similar interests, and that's all that mattered. Then when I watched the drama, I literally felt like this girl was living my life at the beginning. I grew up being bullied. My whole family and friends always called me fat, ugly, and to shut up because I talked a lot. When I was 12 I moved to FL from NY, and just ended up not making friends at all because I didn't know how, and was scared of talking too much, so didn't say anything at all. I ended up developing severe social anxiety disorder because of this. Even now I tend to only talk about other people's interests and am hesitant to talk to anyone about my own unless someone specifically asks me. I've mentioned that I'm autistic in discord, and I'm very open about that fact now and refuse to hide it in order to spread awareness, but back then I didn't know. I mask so well that no one would even know and everyone just thinks I'm extremely shy. Even when I started using the internet, I started making my first ever online friends when I was 13. Then technology advanced and we shared pictures of each other. They stopped talking to me after they saw my picture. High school was a living hell and the only thing that got me through was my Special Interest in David Bowie. I finally learned how to socialize when I started playing World of Warcraft after I dropped out of college. I did also eventually make some friends at work. My 20s was a haze of drinking to make myself social, dating around, and trying to live a life according to social standards. Dating was hard because I only did it because I thought I was expected to be married and have kids before I was 30, so I'd literally tell guys that if they don't want kids (and soon) then we're breaking up because there's no point in being with them. I was confused why I'd get ghosted all the time lmao. AND MY FRIENDS LOVED ME FOR THIS BECUASE THEY THOUGHT IT WAS FUNNY HOW BLUNT I WAS!! So I developed this kind of blunt humor with a straight face of me just saying what's on my mind and people laughed. It's still super weird to me that just being honest is funny to some people lol. I'm 35 now and I'm honestly happier now than I've ever been in my entire life after starting therapy 9 months ago and learning all my struggles were just because I have autism and ADHD. It's frustrating and funny at times too because after deeply researching autism and ADHD (these generally become Special Interests/Hyperfixations for people diagnosed late in life), I can now easily tell if other people are autistic after getting to know them lol. It's way more common than people think, but you know... stigma. Anyway, ND people tend to overshare and trauma dump, I'm sorry, so I'm not looking for sympathy or anything, so don't feel pressured to respond because I know it's kind of awkward lol, I just wanted to share my story about why True Beauty means so much to me and let you know I relate, and this is the only way I know how.
