'True Beauty' Episode 16 will see how Ju-kyung (Moon Ga-young) will respond considering both Su-ho (Cha Eun-woo) and Seo-jun (Hwang In-yeop) are pursuing her and really hard at that.

Su-ho has returned from the US believing Ju-kyung's feelings for him would have remained the same. After all, he hadn't been able to forget her and still has her number saved as 'Girlfriend'.

However, he hurt her really bad by telling her that they should break up and so Ju-kyung doesn't seem like she is ready to forgive him, not anytime soon. On the other hand, there is Seo-jun, who has remained with her, supported her and helped her pick up the pieces of her broken heart after she broke up with Su-ho.

'True Beauty' Episode 15: Fans hate on Su-ho for acting as if he hadn't hurt Ju-kyung with his break-up call

He has become her best friend and she sees him as someone that she can trust unconditionally. So when he tells her that he has liked her, from the moment that they had met during high school and continues to like her, she is taken aback. The moment that the two almost kiss, shows that he respects her and himself to take a weak moment for granted. However, that doesn't mean that Seo-jun would continue to hold back.

In the past, he had held his emotions together because he had known about Su-ho and her. The two were together. However, that is not the case now.

Instead, he tells her that he is done holding back, takes her on dates, and gets even closer to her. Yes, it is initially awkward, but when the two are on the ice skating rink, it gets much better. In the last episode Seo-jun, Ju-kyung and Su-ho also pursue professional success. Seo-jun gets ready to debut as an idol, Su-ho begins studying to become a composer and Ju-kyung concentrates on becoming a good makeup artist. We see how she is the one who applies makeup on Seo-jun before his debut performance and we also see how she is unable to hold herself back when she hears Seo-jun say that today would be the last day. However, does he mean last day that the two would go on a date, last day of him pursuing her romantically or last day that he would see her? We cannot wait to find out.

Then there is also the time where Su-ho asks Seo-jun if he still likes Ju-kyung and Seo-jun denies and clarifies that the two are now dating. Yes, this is just partly right considering how they did step out on a date. This could also be why Su-ho is so dead set on becoming a composer because that was something that Ju-kyung had wished for him. With the two of them trying to get her to see why they were right for her, Ju-kyung's going to be in a state of utter confusion. Who will she choose and if she did really move on from Su-ho will be answered in the final episode of the show. 

'True Beauty' episodes will air on Wednesdays and Thursdays at 10.30 pm on tvN in Seoul, and can be streamed on Viki in the US.
