For me, though, the star of this drama is Ban Ryu. We were introduced to Ban Ryu earlier as a cold, classist prick, but we were also privy to the loveless atmosphere he was brought up in under calculative, power-hungry fathers. This time, we see a more vulnerable, lost side to him when he freezes in shock and stutters after Su Yeon’s prank.
And then we see his childlike self starting to come out of its shell in how he skips through the walkway and smiles goofily at Su-yeon’s frankly written letters. This boy is actually a cinnamon roll. The other love lines I don’t care much for, but I’m rooting for this Romeo and Juliet one.
It makes sense that Ban Ryu, brought up in an oppressive and scheming household, would be drawn to Su Yeon : she’s bright and optimistic, has no ulterior motives, and she isn’t prejudiced, she befriended Ah-ro despite their class differences.
Reflecting on this, I was surprised by how the show managed to convey this much depth to the secondary characters through brief scenes.
Su Yeon is so funny to me, and I love how it’s her of all people to bring Ban Ryu out of his shell.
For how much Ban Ryu and Soo Ho fight, or end up in the same place together, it is a little weird that these are the circumstances that Su Yeon and Ban Ryu meet under.
But the look on Ban Ryu’s face when he turned around and saw her was one of the highlights of the episode. His opening up is really pushing toward a true group dynamic within the core Hwarang and it seems like that’s something he’s really wanted for possibly his whole life.
