True Beauty S01e13 Our First Love -multi-audio-...

"True Beauty" has often been compared to a mix of She Was Pretty and Boys Over Flowers. Episode 13 distinguishes itself by subverting the typical "bad boy vs. nice guy" trope. It posits that the "first love" is not defined by who you met first, but by who sees your soul first.

While the series is famous for its comedic CGI and high-energy gags, Episode 13 strips these away. It is a quieter, more mature installment that rewards long-time viewers with deep emotional payoffs. The decision to end the episode with a time jump was controversial among fans but necessary to propel the characters toward adulthood, where the stakes of love are higher.

Scene 3 — Jugyeong’s Room
She finally opens Suho’s letter. Camera pans over:

“Jugyeong — The first time I saw you crying in that comic bookstore, I thought: I want to be the reason she smiles. Not her makeup. Her. I’m sorry I left. But my father needs me. Do I wait for you? Or do I let you go?”

Jugyeong dials Suho — rings once — hangs up.

Scene 4 — Tokyo Hospital Rooftop
Suho stares at his phone. He’s thinner, darker circles.

But then — text from Jugyeong:

“Don’t decide for me. Our first love isn’t over until both of us say goodbye.”

Suho almost smiles. Then his father flatlines.

If you haven't watched it yet (spoiler alert!), Episode 13 shifts the gear from romantic comedy to pure melodrama. Ju-kyung finally breaks up with Lee Su-ho to protect him from the bullies who now know her secret—that she is the "ugly" girl behind the makeup mask. Meanwhile, Han Seo-jun, the second lead with a heart of gold, watches from the sidelines, knowing he is falling for a girl who is still in love with his best friend.

The title "Our First Love" is ironic and tragic. It highlights Ju-kyung and Su-ho’s relationship as a first love—beautiful, intense, but fragile under the weight of high school cruelty.

Scene 5 — Funeral (Multi-angle)
Seojun shows up uninvited to the Seoul memorial (Suho’s dad’s company held it in both cities).
Jugyeong sees him — tears streaming. He holds her hand. No words.

Seojun’s internal monologue (Japanese audio option): “If I let go now, she’ll fall. But if I hold on too long, I’ll never let her go.”

Scene 6 — Bridge at Dawn
Jugyeong: “You came.”
Seojun: “You’re crying. Of course I came.”
She leans on his shoulder. He stiffens — then relaxes.

Seojun: “I’m not him, Jugyeong. I yell too much. I’m poor. I mess up.”
Jugyeong: “Then why do I feel safe?”

Scene 7 — Suho returns (Week later)
At school gate. Suho in black coat, pale. Jugyeong runs to him — stops three feet away.
Suho: “I read your text. I came back to say goodbye properly.”

Jugyeong: “Or… you could stay.”

Suho looks at Seojun — who is handing out fliers for his band’s first gig. Seojun glances over, nods once. A silent understanding.

Scene 8 — Band Practice Room (Night)
Seojun’s song “Our First Love” (original OST, multi-language subtitles):

“You drew stars around my scars / But now he’s the moon in your car / I’ll love you loud from afar / Goodbye, my first love”

Jugyeong watches from the doorway. Wipes a tear — then Suho appears behind her.
Suho (English dub available): “He’s not wrong, you know. You do make people stars.”

Episode 13 serves as a turning point where subtle emotional groundwork laid earlier begins to pay off. It deepens character motivations and sets up consequential choices for the season finale arc.
