8.0/10 - Tropey, yes. The characters and writing make it A-mazing!

Picking up right where we left off with Su Ho saving Joo Gyung from having to show her real face. It makes me a bit sad that Joo Gyung immediately thinks that Su Ho knows the truth and that's why he's helping. I mean I think he knows too, but I don't think there's an evil motive. The thing that sticks with me is that Joo Gyung brother says that she is committing fraud by wearing makeup! Then isn't every woman!!!??? What constitutes as too much makeup and when it turns to fraud? I love that Joo Gyung tells him the beautiful girl he likes is probably just like her underneath all that makeup. Inception. The seed of doubt has been planted. I tell you he's gonna get a crush on an "ugly" face girl. This episode was a bit annoying with Joo Gyung constantly panicking over Su Ho knowing the truth. I guess she's just going to the worse fear because she doesn't want to experience the level of bullying she went through before. I love that she got so inspired buy her sister's video game to handle Su Ho, but then immediately set herself up for failure. Joo Gyung was panicking so much that she couldn't see that Su Ho actually likes her. Which is rare so fast!! We're only on episode 3 and he's trying to get her to hang with him. He wants to spend time with her. I was right!!Joo Gyung's sister is having a romance!! I love that she's so prepared to change a flat and saves the man that has caught her eye! It just makes me so happy with this role reversal! >_< You go girl!!! Get your man!!I feel like poor Seo Jun is going to be nothing more than second lead. The setup isn't going to really take him farther than that. Which breaks my heart. The actor is amazing and I honestly like the character. That said I love that Joo Gyung was defeated by her terrible singing—I get you girl—and went with something that utilized her courage. Her mad, awesome, dancing skills. Which of course turned out to not be the talent contest, but it was amazing!! Giving us something to life about, and Su Ho something to fantasize about. ^_-That is one thing I really like about True Beauty, we get to see the ML fantasizing about the FL! It was really interesting getting to see Seo Jun family life and it humanized him a lot. It shows most of his attitude is bluster to hide what's going on. Joo Gyung finally confronts Su Ho not knowing that what he really wants is to spend time with her enjoying something they love together. Seeing him take care of her is a standard drama trope and one viewers love. The ending with the boys gearing up to fight is very intense!

8.0/10 - Wow, this is such a fun drama! The humor is brilliant!!! The plotting is wonderful!!!

Ha-ha!! I love how the episode starts off with Joo Gyung's pranking her!! >_< Though I feel like the smartphones would be able to tell the difference between makeup face and no makeup. Just saying. (Disclaimer! I'm totally on episode 7 at this point. I got so caught up in just watching this awesome drama that I completely forgot to type up episode reactions. So these will probably be brief and weak. As I only made minor notes of my reactions and thoughts.) So this episode starts right off with our fated leads meeting again. Joo Gyung having no idea that the boy she just fell on top of yet again is the same one that saved her on the roof. Ah, I feel Joo Gyung. When you're prescription is as strong as us you can't even see your own hand! It's super funny realizing the misunderstanding Joo Gyung and Lee Su Ho already have. I know it's so STANDARD for a drama. Especially I high school one, but it works out so well for the story. Huh. The way Joo Gyung's brother is treating her. AND the way some of her family members are acting I'm wondering if know one is fully aware of the abuse and bullying she had been going through? That's what makes it even harder. That Joo Gyung didn't, couldn't, reach out. Oh, my goodness! I hope that Lim Hee Gyung [Joo Gyung's older sister] has a romance with Joo Gyung's teacher!! I feel like this could be an epic side story!!! This was also a great setup episode. It's heartbreaking to see how Joo Gyung is still destroyed by seeing her old bullies. Queue the meet for our second lead who has some serious swagger! Also, the setup of Su Ho's family and life. Clearly Su Ho and Seo Jun have a past. Same boy group? Hmmmmm? Not to mention how magical it is watching Joo Gyung getting to enjoy having friends and her genuine joy interacting with them! No really. I got so choked up! ;_;I really like the setup of this whole episode and I fully believe that Su Ho knows that bother versions of Joo Gyung are the same girl. I really think he knows.

Cute

I love the fact that they talk before anything, even when Nhai was drunk, Ai told him that he would stop if he didn't want to do it. They can communicate with each other

qoute of the episode

"During the war, we can do anything for our survival. We don't need to care if we kill someone along the way. In this world, there is no place for losers. The only way that you can win the war, you need to destroy the enemy. ""Not every war will bring peace. and the losers don't need to surrender themselves everytime. Sometimes, the end of the first war may be beginning of the next war. The losers who hold a grudge in their heart... may turn the game around and win the war this time!"

A Star of Hope

This series is great, but the ending exceeded my expectations. Heart-breaking, healing, and uplifting, it reminds us that friendship, love, and forgiveness are the greatest force for good in life.

Shinya and the Girls Win in This Episode

Shinya beat up the punks who hurt his brother and went to support his girlfriend at her clarinet competition immediately afterwards. Doka, Zumi, and Maho, though? They are the moment.

Doka-chan!

Madoka is the best girl – even cool Tsukasa is scared of her. As a girl who grew up surrounded by boys and lost her father, I relate to her character and struggles the most. Shinya and she are a great couple.

WOW!

Mean made a good point but he didn't have to be a snitch and malicious about it. I was never able to tell if we are to assume that Peem was dead or a ghost or something. But Peem and Mike's smile at the end made me feel like they came to some sort of resolution. The cinematography of this episode was absolutely breathtaking. Loved every second.

MIKE WHY!

OMG Pear deserves so much better than Mike. And poor Peem he has been being played by Mike the whole time; probably the whole three years if not a majority of it. I fully believe however that Mean is a jealous little peeping tom. Like HTF did he get those receipts on Mike and Peem? Creepy man, just sad.

Very interesting

The story seems very promising. The acting is very top notch. The artistic camera shooting very well complements the chaotic plot line. I can't wait to see how this all unfolds.

Wholesome

So many interesting things happened in this episode, but for me the highlight was the budding romance between Masaya and the cake shop worker Maho. When Masaya, a tough construction worker, gets all shy in front of her, he is really cute. I am also happy to see Arata get his life back on track.

The Plot Thickens

I like that even in a slice-of-life story the plot of High&Low The Worst delivers enough to keep the viewer invested. On a side note, Fujio and Madoka's conversation were my favorite part of this episode. Their friendship reminds me of mine with my best friend, who is a guy.

No progress in the story and repetitive!

This episode was filled with fillers and disappointments. Our lead couples are still playing the denial game and I really cant handle akk anymore.
