Love Me If You Dare Episode 5

Anticipating Romance

The relationship between Yao Yao and Bo, reminds me of Molly and Sherlock from Sherlock (2010). In this episodes it's very apparent in the fireworks scene. But of course, I’m biased, I do have to admit a little bit. One thing in this episode's highlights the strong characteristics that Yao Yao processes. Proving that she can go Toe-to-toe with even the smartest criminal psychologists. I like how in this episode they again highlight where the background music is supposedly coming from (Andy).
Overall this episode was good. I’ve come to expect with Chinese Drama’s that filler episodes or episodes that hold little information to the overall plot but could be considered pointless with those taken out are expected. To be fair though, it does have a lot of information for future episodes.

Captivating.

There is something very captivating about this drama. All day I was anticipating watching this drama. it was slower than the first 4 as it focuses more on the human part and the characters present. I also believe it's setting up a killer at Jian Yao's new job.

I see why the plot went that way, but it also feels like a cop out. However, in the long run it will make things a lot easier for the show.

What I do love is that the feeling of Bo (Simon Bo!) being hunted intensifies. Not to mention that he receives pictures and a message. Gosh, all this teasing is driving me crazy! Is it the guy who had him imprisoned? Some government agency trying to intimidate him into helping them? What is it!? I love the suspense, and the build up.

It's intriguing watching someone such as Bo realize that he's jealous. That he wants Yao for an assistant. But he doesn't realize that he wants her friendship, let alone something more. The build up between them getting to know each other and caring for what the other likes is refreshing. Especially since it's not one sided.

Overall I great stepping stone for the show.
