While that is an intersting suggestion, I was under the impression that he calls her Oryo, because that is the Japanese reading of the Korean characters that spell the name, Hee-jin. It probably does encourage him to make that joke though.

I'm sure that the writers were cracking up when they thought of giving her a name that could be read as Oryo. I'm impressed that you made the connection to Ryouma. He's definitely got a few things in common with him.

Note: My source for the Japanese reading of "Hee-jin" being "Oryu" is in the KissSub version of episode 3 at 11:50. If anyone knows that they are wrong, please speak out.
