Behind Your Smile Episode 5

I feel like this episode was a step back for me. Too tropey.

I feel like this episode was a step back for me. Too busy establishing tropes and telling viewers (not letting it natural enter the story) that Yi Ting is really an amazing guy.

Also, I am so tired of everyone saying Xin Yu is responsible for her mother's sins. Not sure if this is a stupid plot thing, or a cultural thing. Though I do understand the woman they hate has run away. So they need a new target.

So tropes, minor skinship with the band aid. Apparently drawing the other person is a Taiwan drama trope. The last one I watched had it and the few others I tried did too. Farts. Though I thought it was hilarious that she thought she was taking the blame for him. >_<

Ah, Qian Ren. They made the role for Lee Sean because he knows animals. As a farm/country girl nothing is sexier to me. Now if only they'd give him some Wranglers so I can oogle him properly. Sadly he is yet again the second male lead. ;_;

Anyone else pick up on the drinking game between Yi Ting and his dad. I'm gonna guess that was the contaminated milk. What a heart wrenching death. Hats off to the writers for making the farm tie in and now I know why it's so important.

Everyone is saying Yi Ting is a great guy. Yadda-yadda. Yet he is doing horrible things. He did intend to punish Xin Yu. He judged and condemned her so that he could find Lin Man. I'm sorry that is wicked. No matter how yummy the package.

Xiaoyue. I wonder if we will ever get to meet him. Or if he will be a mysterious guy that Xin Yu has had connects with? Curious how that will play in. Yi Ting is already clearly jealous. ^_- He can not resist my blinking goddess of cuteness. He-he.

Overall I still had tons of fun with this drama. I just wish we could get to know some of the characters more organically and without the trope check list.
