He wondered if he did anything to upset her because she kept running away from him.Īfter school, she walked morosely past him and ignored him. Then, he sought her out to lend her his science notes. First, he rescued her from public humiliation. He went out of his way to be nice to JoKyung the whole day. To understand Suho, you must put yourselves in his shoes.
Then, later that night, in the comic bookstore, she thought he was about to dole out her “boksu” when all he wanted was to give her “tiramisu.” Tiramisu was a dessert best served cold. Vengeance is more effective when done in a cold, meticulous, and strategic manner.īecause her brother put this idea in her head that Suho was seeking “revenge” - or “boksu” in Korean, she kept misinterpreting Suho’s actions.įor instance, when they met along the school corridor, she thought he was coming after for “boksu” when he only wanted to give her a copy (or “boksa”) of his science notes. But unlike hot food, the best revenge is committed when boiling temper and fired-up emotions have cooled down. Now, for those not familiar with this idiomatic expression - we often like to be served hot food rather than cold food. Thus, Suho was taking revenge.įor good measure, her brother added that, “revenge is a dish best served cold.”
She’d been going deceiving everybody with her goddess-level of beauty, and Suho didn’t appreciate that. When she consulted her younger brother for advice, he speculated that Suho wanted to take his revenge on her for daring to fool him with her beauty. She was afraid that he found about her true appearance without make-up. It baffled her that he would shield her with his jacket given that he was reputed to be sociopath. JK didn’t know what to make of his gesture. Unfortunately, for JoKyung, deducing the purpose of camera shot is much easier than guessing the purpose of Suho’s chivalry. To me, the purpose of this camera shot is to foreshadow the later scene when he appeared like an angel to her again (I’ll show it to you in a bit). The episode began with him draping his jacket over a hunched-up JK. Just because the heroine JoKyung did all the heavy lifting (literally, with the box of papers) in this episode doesn’t mean that I found her to be the most interesting character of the hour.
