In Yaongyi’s romantic comedy webtoon, True Beauty, Jugyeong and Suho have come a long way to be together. They started as just two peers in the same Japanese study group, but eventually, they formulated a solid friendship based on mutual interests. The two develop a crush on one another, but their relationship didn't come to fruition because of Suho’s father’s accidental coma. Suho had to leave South Korea to take care of his father. After spending some time apart and dating other people, Suho and Jugyeong reunite once again and become an official couple.
Suho and Jugyeong’s relationship is stronger than ever. Here are some aspects of their relationship that make them a power couple.
Great Conversation When It Comes to Hobbies
Since high school, Jugyeong and Suho have had a strong interest in horror comics and movies, which became the foundation of their friendship and interest in each other. Jugyeong recommended horror comics to Suho, and in exchange, Suho gave an autograph signed copy of one of Ito Junji’s comics to Jugyeong. Even after they didn't talk for a while, their hobby reunited them.
Suho and Jugyeong also support one another in their other hobbies. Suho would be Jugyeong’s photographer for her social media accounts and even be a guest star in her online make-up videos. As for Jugyeong, she shows moral support for Suho’s pursuit of the culinary arts. Whether they have mutual interests or not, both of them show respect and support for each other's goals and hobbies.
Overcoming Personal Insecurities With Emotional Support
The two lean on one another for emotional support when confronting their inner demons and insecurities. Jugyeong is self-conscious about her looks. She considers herself an “ugly ducking” and uses make-up to hide her insecurities. However, Suho loves Jugyeong with or without make-up and has persistently made declarations that Jugyeong is beautiful. Suho fell in love with Jugyeong and her personality, not her physical looks, making his feelings more genuine.
Suho’s insecurities stem from family issues and misunderstandings with his friend, Seo-jun. Whenever Suho feels aloof, Jugyeong never pressures him for answers, but rather, she actively listens to Suho’s emotional baggage without judgment. Jugyeong shows her support for Suho by being a shoulder to cry on when Suho remembers it's Seyeon’s death anniversary. The emotional support and non-judgmental attitude towards their imperfections show how strong their relationship is.
The Simple, Little Actions Count
When it comes to love, it's the little things a person does that count and matter. When Jugyeong was dating Seo-jun, Suho did not let his feelings interfere with their relationship. He supported their relationship and advised Jugyeong when she wanted to reveal her bare face to Seo-jun. In his perspective, Suho is content if Jugyeong is happy with her relationship.
Furthermore, Suho does show his cute side for Jugyeong. He would wait for Jugyeong after her beauty school classes, give her delicious treats that he made, and show jealousy over guys that admire Jugyeong. Yet, one moment that stands out is when Suho bought band-aids for Jugyeong after she scraped the heels of her feet on her shoes. Suho never admits to Jugyeong that he was the one that left the band-aids on her desk, but the very act shows how attentive and caring he is to Jugyeong. Many people assume that grand gestures indicate that someone loves you. However, Suho reminds readers that it is simple acts that show how much you love someone.
True Beauty’s Suho and Jugyeong reveal to viewers how great it is to be in love with someone who cares and appreciates you for who you are. Their relationship isn’t based on reputation and physical appearances, but rather, it is built on a strong friendship with ample emotional support and fun.
