The understanding that she and her daughter reach is a long time coming, and it’s truly precious.Īfter that wonderful closure, everything else felt like the icing on the cake to me: Soo-jin getting ostracized for her horrible behavior, Soo-ah reconciling with Joo-kyung, and the two of them not only rescuing Hye-min, but standing up against the bullies. Between this honest moment - and the homeroom teacher revealing Joo-kyung’s bullied past - Mama Im becomes the best mother hen around. Joo-kyung’s mother flips out about her desire to study cosmetology (as expected), but eventually her hysteria causes her to reveal the root cause: she doesn’t want her daughter to struggle like she has. But it was, and what a nice job they did with it. This has long been a sore point in the story, but I was never 100% clear on whether it was going to be addressed adequately. I love both of these boys and how loyal and true-hearted they are, but honestly, nothing topped the interaction between Joo-kyung and her mother for me. While Soo-ho is busy being Joo-kyung’s rock and emotional support, Seo-joon turns up with the tactical support: he confronts Soo-jin over what she’s done, and uses his connections (and looks lol) to get the video pulled off of the school portal. And she emerges a lot stronger on the other side.Ī lot of this is thanks to the support she gets from those around her - her little brother jumps to her aid, Soo-ho literally scours the city to find her, Seo-joon plays a big part in confronting the bad actors, and even the adorkable homeroom teacher supports Joo-kyung, calling out her classmates’ behavior. It’s painful to see her holed up against the world, but it’s such an understandable reaction to the betrayal, fear, and mortification she’s dealing with.īut the Joo-kyung we know is resilient and strong, and sure enough, she is able to find the courage to return to school, face her friends (and enemies), and continue on with her life. And for a drama that has been a lot about inner character (and true beauty), it’s lovely to see things like courage, grit, loyalty, and true friendship win in the end.Īfter the absolutely cruel reveal of Joo-kyung’s bare face (and her most humiliating moment) to the entire school, she’s rightfully shattered. After her long-kept secret is revealed in the worst way possible, she has to decide how to react, and really, how she’s going to be known. The moment has come for our heroine to face her demons. 24 JanuJanuTrue Beauty: Episodes 13-14 Open Thread by missvictrix
