Eternal Love Episode 33

I took an obscene amount of notes for this episode! Because I thought there were so many important bits. Like the emphasis on the tea that Bai Qian was served before she apparently fell asleep and Riceball ran off. To a brothel! Ha-ha. What a little joker. He may have accidentally gone in there, but he knew something was up after. It's kind of fun Bai Qian was the catalystfor that and no a man. Too funny. I really thought someone had dosed her tea though with all the Ghost Tribe assassination attempts. Which I believe is all a setup. Man has Su Jin become elevated! She's got two evil villain songs. It's weird she's become one horrendous and amazing villain, but I still can't stand watching her most of the time. They need to cut back on her dialogue and screen time. I ain't watching for her, but I get she's the reason there is so much strife. However, she went to crazy new lengths. I mean to frame someone for raping you just to keep Ye Hua there for a couple of days. WTF! It's horrible. She needs to be checked into a mental institute. Not to mention that Heavenly Father new what was going on, but wanted to still strike at his Second Son to make a point for the fact that he's happy in life. Because that's an insult to him? I mean. Heavenly father actually thinks rape and falling in love are the same crime!? Holy cow. No wonder the people in the Celestial Realm are fudged up! "You were merely kissed once or twice."
Can I just say how much I love this more transparent Ye Hua. He is so sweet with Bai Qian. It's touching he realizes that he has to make her fall in love with him again. On the other hand I am a bit bothered he realizes it's a good thing she can't remember due to his betrayal of her. Still I'm enjoying it. The way he just leapt out of no where to protect her from a handsy mortal, and then steals those kisses. >_< At least Ye Hua realizes that he fudged up bad when she was a mortal.So beyond the disciples more deities were attacked. Or is it just all deities that were once disciples? Though the list who knew Bai Qian was a disciple is very short. This new story is interesting and I'm wondering who is trying to cause strife between the Ghost Realm and Celestial Realm. So Feng Jiu has been in the mortal realm for 2 years now. It moved me when Dijun admitted he felt snared by her and avoided her. Their whole interaction was so sweet and intense. I love how Feng Jiu shyness pleased him. At least the core Dijun is there. So the Star Lord is mapping his mortal life. I'm wondering if Dijun planned for Feng Jiu to be part of it then? Or if the Star Lord is definitely going a bit off the map? At least it hasn't turned into a nightmare like Bai Qian's mortal life.

Yikes. So Su Jin is relying on her status becoming higher by becoming the Heavenly Father's consort. She's lucky he's only going to honor her role as consort in name. Though I wish she'd smarten up and listen to her step-mom. She needs to find a man who loves her. If Ye Hua hasn't developed those kinds of feeling in 70,000 years, then he's not going to. This is a trope in dramas I hate so much! So much! Moving on I love the Ghost Princess, but it looks like Xuan Nu is going to through her under the bus to try and get Li Jing's love. Which is stupid. The only thing having is sister "betray" him will do is to make him even colder. Though the idiot is totally fine getting drunk and having Xuan Nu trick him again. The whole sex while wearing Bai Qian's face is beyond creeping me out! Speaking of Bai Qian. She burned the house down! Holy cow! While I laughed so hard, it's still annoying how dumb she has to be made here!!!! Argh!! At least she immediately new Ye Hua was something other. Though it's interesting she leapt to the Lion instead of the Dragon. Not to mention I don't know why he couldn't trust her with his secret as the dragon. Isn't lying to her a form of betrayal? Just clue her in to kind of what you are Ye Hua! She didn't freak at the giant dragon, I think she'd love it if she knew it was you. I hate lies for the plot device. The woman always gets over it too fast and the guy doesn't grovel/apologize right. Poor Feng Jiu. She's being honest and brave to Dijun, boom! There's company to her confession! Silly girl. Always double check. Still hilarious and cute. Su Jin's schemes to be with Ye Hua are pulling him away from Bia Qian awfully fast. Not to mention she's now lost and wandering around looking for him. *sighs*

Strong Woman Do Bong Soon Episode 12

Ugh. The reality is that Strong Woman Do Bong Soon has been a mess with the storyline from the start. Somehow it still managed to create a very compelling story.
So first off I'm super happy with Bong Soon and Min Hyeok making it official. They're a couple! Min Min! Ha-ha. I love seeing them getting starry spacey in love with each other. True the heart thing on the beach was tacky, but it was cute. They're too cute!
The rest of this episode was dedicated to stupidity. Firstly why would no one stay with an old victim and make sure she got to her destination. Okay, so the "official" police think that the bad guy is caught. However, the other guys--Gook Du's team--think he's out there. He always goes after his missing brides. Why on earth would they ever let her be unprotected. Bong Soon? Why?
Not to mention almost every action they take with him. It's stupid. I found myself so bore with this episode.
Especially as the male leads keep telling Bong Soon not to do anything and to basically be a simple protected female lead. No. Can't work together to solve this. It also looks like MIn Hyeok will be making her a necklace with a hidden tracking device. WTF.
This is gonna go to a bad place fast for me. At least there's a chance for Min Hyeok and Bong Soon to work together on this.

Totsuzen Desu ga, Ashita Kekkon Shimasu Episode 8

Well that as dull. Truly I miss the fun and whimsical feel of the romance. Now it's just descended into the normal dramaland, er, drama. Very typical and annoying. After all the guy once again does what he think is best for the female lead. Choosing the meanest and harshest way to do it. Instead of being truthful and letting her decide and being an equal.
Truly a shame. Not to mention it feels rushed and a 180 for the romance and development of the story. With 1 episode left guess that's the only way to do it.
On that note I love how supportive her family is. Especially Asuka's little brother. He's been so sweet this episode.

The Liar and His Lover Episode 3

The shoe shot was total product placement. But I actually like those shoes so it's all right. ^_- Moving on.
Han Kyeol's reaction to her song was at first frustrating and then turned into this amazing epic thing. I do believe that this episode helped to show him a bit more human, and that he is in fact humanly flawed. He's brash and says hurtful things first. Rarely backing down after he's done something harsh.
That flower wall that So Rim was walking along, I really hope it exists! That could turn anyone's day around. Not to mention So Rim and Han Kyeol's getting together and the scene with the kids in the park. Have they already had their first kiss? That whole scene really confused me. They did such a good job of covering up the kiss, if it was a kiss!
Jin Hyuk and Yoo Na have a very interesting relationship ahead of them. I do feel bad for Yoo Na. I like that the writing is addressing the pressures of the woman having a age limit and basically a sex symbol type of thing. It's sad, but very real.
Oh, and the quick picture swipe on the cell phones always gets me. I had to turn it off because I would always accidently take pictures.
The teachers in this show are crazy. I don't think any teacher has the right to judge a student and tell them to get out. Even in harsh Korean culture. Pretty sure he could really get in trouble. At least it's made up for by the crazy awesome home room teacher. I am glad he stood up for So Rim and even helped her out.
So the love triangle is now setup and the lies. ^_- I'm curious how Jin Hyuk will handle it. Very cool. This is definitely a solid feel good drama.

Totally Do Bong Soon's mom's episode. That woman is horrible and awesome and totally slaying it. Loved her so much in this episode. We're all on the mom's side at this point. Despite her horribleness.
Also, talk about stupid characters. Now the clever villain is way forewarned.
Min Hyeok is the winner. I'll always have second lead syndrome for Gook Doo (basically any character played by Ji Soo), but he loses again. Min Hyeok basically confessed--even more clearly--and took the cake.
Can't wait to see how she reacts. She should react well considering her Romeo and Juliet fantasies! (Hilariously awesome.)

Kuzu no Honkai Episode 8

I found this episode boring. It was right on the cusp of emotional brilliance, but I felt like it didn't quite reach what I wanted.
That said I love the face offs between Hana and her conscience. Or "other selves". I feel like we get a taste of her devil and angel sides all at once.
It's also interesting to find Mugi more interested in Hana as she takes a step to becoming Akane. If you think about it that's what's happening. Mugi knows Akane is a man eater and that's apparently his type. Hana has taken this freaking little journey in response to Akane winning over Big Brother. She wants to become the woman that has stolen the man she desires.
I feel like these too should have realized they like each other.
Though I do have to give this episode points for pushing them in the right direction. Simply confess and move on one way or another.
I felt like too much time was spent on the pigtailed girl. It showed that Mugi may be a bit better than Hana that he turned her down. Though she was just a silly tangent that wasted an episode.
Overall I'm curious if the confessions will just be over with, or turn into a poop storm of awesome and glorious messed-up-ness. Bring it.

Marriage, Not Dating Episode 7

I love it when the second leads become tentaive friends! Especially when they can hang out with the female lead and have a good time. It means more when the male leads know more about each other. Because it feels more human. I loved the whole eating scene and them all having fun together. Ki Tae also gets a glimpse of how wonderful it is to not be alone.
The moving thing was that Ki Tae realized how scary and horrifying the situation would be for Jang Mi. The way he rushed over. Though Yeo Reum's cute "none' confession was so cute! I like that he knows what is going on, but still wants to pursue Jang Mi. He's very open about liking her. No hesitation to comfort her. That's why I have it bad for him!
Though this episode does a good job of showing how well Ki Tae and Jang Mi know one another. It's not just him rushing to rescue her. Their conversations on the phone and teamwork. Not to mention how they're unconsciously manipulating each other. Not like his mom, but just to a nudge.
Which leads me to thoughts of whether or not Ki Tae's mom knows she's being so deftly manipulated by Se Ah. Man Se Ah is such a scary second lead. Because she ensnares and forces people to do what she wants.
My heart broke a bit for Hyun Hee. Especially since Hoon Dong acted so childish when he found out about Jang Mi and Yeo Reum, and assuming she is involved with Ki Tae as well. The way he so willingly broke Hyun Hee's heart to get back at Jang Mi. It ticks me off how upset he is when he was so willing to toss her love aside and then turns around claiming he loves her. When he just wants her because other men now want her.
The best moment had to be Yeo Reum and Ki Tae sleeping together! Especially when Ki Tae wakes up to find out who his surprise snuggle partner is. Ha-ha! Even making sure that Yeo Reum's bottom half is clothed. Ha-ha! He wants Jang Mi not you Ki Tae!
I do have complaint about Jang Mi not being able to see around her. The guys seemed fine when they got there and waited to pull out their phones as lights. She also went to a dark place instead of where light could come in. Maybe her absolute fear of being left alone made her blind? You know fear taking over and ruining rational thought. Either way a bit lame as it's not full addressed.
That was annoying female damsel thing, but I do like how much role reversal this drama has! Such as wrist grabbing for all ages, the girls have been initiating quite a few kisses, females giving piggyback rides, and so on. It's so refreshing. Not to mention that this is a bit more mature than standard dramas.
The ending is the kicker though. As Ki Tae realizing looking at Jang Mi sleeping with her head on Yeo Reum that his heart is picking up. Is it true emotion? He's not okay because he realizes he might be falling for Jang Mi? Or will pure denial take over.
How am I going to get over how stinking cute and awesome Yeo Reum and Jang Mi are together! What a wonderfully developed love triangle.

Strong Woman Do Bong Soon Episode 6
1 people found this review helpful
One of the best drunken scenes ever, that come hither dance!!! Yes, yes!! Strong Woman Do Bong Soon may not be the most brilliant show and a bit all over the place. True. I'm having so much fun though! Sometimes that's all you need.
My gosh! Min Hyeok and Gook Doo getting totally wasted was brilliant. What was more brilliant was Bong Soon's bored expression as she watched them "duke it out" during the games. She was so bored, they wouldn't let her drink, and then she had to carry their wasted butts to the care. Then too the house! The brilliance was followed up by Min Hyeok realizing he got tossed on the floor while Gook Doo is well taken care of. Not to mention them finding out what they did in while drink. Gook Doo's sexy come here dance and then both of them dancing while apparently having some kind of Cinderella fantasy was perfect.
"Wow, she even put a blanket on him. I got tossed on the floor."
What's even better is Bong Soon's mother! (Oh, and it looks like we're meeting granny!) This woman just wants her daughter to sleep with Min Hyeok. Unfortunaely Boon Soon is still totally set on Gook Doo. (Espeically now that she found out his single. ^_- I'm so proud of the girlfriend for not two timing and for coming out so fast that she likes another man.) Her thought that the guy must be ugly to hid his face was hilarious. Oh, and did anyone else notice the vegetables all the old woman had? Tee-hee. Korean penis jokes, so on the sly.
I also loved everyone's fantasies about whom would taking advantage of whom when Min Hyeok, Gook Doo, and Bong Soon all stayed under the same roof. Poor Gook Doo was the victim in two fantasies, while Min Hyeok was more worried about Bong Soon pouncing on Gook Doo. Smart man. Bong Soon playing weak to get Gook Doo to open the jar was priceless. (Oh, and don't you love what Min Hyeok has done to the chopstick?)
So it's 100% confirmed only the women of Bong Soon's family get super powers. I thought so, but I just wanted that confirmation. Also, MIn Hyeok claiming Bong Soon was his girlfriend was so obvious. Still put a smile on my face.
On that note I have grown use to the over extended super strength that Bong Soon has. However, even if she had that strength that car would have rolled, not spun. Ever. I just wish that beyond silly dumb strength the reactions to the strength would be more realistic.
Oh, and now we see the face of the creeper! Is it odd that I really like his fluffy hair? I just want to pet it. The reveal was creepy, but then they did that whole weird breathing thing as he moved into the neck of one of his "brides". This episode was a little too obsessed with vampires. I thought he was gonna break into Count Dracula's (Count von Count) laugh at any moment. 1, 2, brides-wah-wah-wah. (I am unsure how to spell out Count's laugh--google it Ah, ah, ah. Makes sense.)
Overall a very funny episode. With yet another crazy cliffhanger that is YET AGAIN going to be a long wait! I mean really! That's just man. Not only do I have to wait to get more of Granny Bong Soon, but there's a knife to one of my character's throats!

"We're burying Woong Cheol today." I really like how all of the guy's stories are getting weaved through the cases. Though now the cases are kind of their stories. Still super cool.
Jung Moon's is clearly going to be the "last" with the big reveal of who wants him dead.
That siad I loved the gang politics and even after being saved Woong Cheol's big boss is ready to kill the Bad Guys anyway. Though I'm super curious what Goo Tak's connection is to him, it's probably all going back to 2 years ago. (AKA 2012)
Clearly men don't have to worry about be stashed in trunks. I already knew all of the basics to cover for popping the trunk with or with out the built in release. The tale light trick is basics! Ha-ha. Oh, well. Now they'll all be prepared in the future, especially the big bad gangster boss.
So minor complaints Goo Tak spits way too much! Even an old western doesn't have this much. Plus, I'm very curious about cops firearms checks in Korea. In America if you disarm you're gun you have to report it and so on. There's a whole lot of paperwork and accountability if that bad boy gets fired. I'm seriously wondering how Goo Tak gets away with it.
Though the minor details have never really mattered to the show and I think to a degree this writer. (He wrote the script for Vampire Prosecutor.) This is such fun though and I love the cast. Mi Yeong digging around for the truth about Goo Tak is very interesting and I wonder if when she finds out how much trouble she's going to find herself in.
(On censorships I'm so surprised they haven't been blurring the guns, but the knives are getting super blurred.

Osaka is right. Totally right this is like the Korean Suicide Squad! Which still happens to be my favorite comic. (Don't mention the movie to me.) It's pretty promising and fast paced! Just what the drama doctors ordered.
"If you beat a good person, it is violence. But if you beat a bad guy, then it's justice."
First off, let's be honest. This is some serouis man candy. All the flavors for everyone! I love it. Jung Moon by the psychopath serial killer is interesting, though I guessed he'd be the smart guy. Tae Soo is of course the sexy assassin. Woong Cheol the brute force. I actually loved the vibes between Tae Soo and Woong Cheol, and have high hopes for some bromance.
Though I was hoping for the female (cough*token female*cough) to be another "bad guy" I think Mi Yeong has her own bite as she is a female police officer. Woman in the work force have it hard, cops especially so. Though I'm a bit worried that I see her put as supporting in the cast instead of main.
The music is both horribly tacky and so on point! It kind of fits the vibe of this show so I won't gripe to much. The church music when the bad guys first came in was silly, but then I loved it during the fight scenes.
The main key to being on the Suicide Squad is that you're a murderer, which all of these Bad Guys fit the bill to. I'm surprised they went that far. Though I wonder if they're going to make a twist and have Jung Moon not be? I also like the added mystery that in 2012 all of these people, including Detective Goo Tak, have a secret past?
Now let's go find this serial killer that's killing innocent woman! Because the birth of this unit is because that police officer was killed by him.
"If you beat a good person, it is violence. But if you beat a bad guy, then it's justice."
First off, let's be honest. This is some serouis man candy. All the flavors for everyone! I love it. Jung Moon by the psychopath serial killer is interesting, though I guessed he'd be the smart guy. Tae Soo is of course the sexy assassin. Woong Cheol the brute force. I actually loved the vibes between Tae Soo and Woong Cheol, and have high hopes for some bromance.
Though I was hoping for the female (cough*token female*cough) to be another "bad guy" I think Mi Yeong has her own bite as she is a female police officer. Woman in the work force have it hard, cops especially so. Though I'm a bit worried that I see her put as supporting in the cast instead of main.
The music is both horribly tacky and so on point! It kind of fits the vibe of this show so I won't gripe to much. The church music when the bad guys first came in was silly, but then I loved it during the fight scenes.
The main key to being on the Suicide Squad is that you're a murderer, which all of these Bad Guys fit the bill to. I'm surprised they went that far. Though I wonder if they're going to make a twist and have Jung Moon not be? I also like the added mystery that in 2012 all of these people, including Detective Goo Tak, have a secret past?
Now let's go find this serial killer that's killing innocent woman! Because the birth of this unit is because that police officer was killed by him.

Behind Your Smile Episode 17

Oh, I can see why this would need 19 episodes instead of 18. To end Behind Your Smile in episode 18 would feel very off to the pacing of the show and the characters. Though I was initially very excited about the end coming near. Others are speculating that it will be 20. I think the writer can pull it off no matter the length.
This was a very awesome episode. Starting with Xin Yu piecing things together that Yi Ting won't tell her. She goes to touch his face, but ends up doing this lame baby slap to get "justice" or whatever. Made me laugh so hard. Moving as Xin Yu states her mom needs to pay and her actions lead her there. (Yi Ting needs to realize that Xin Yu doesn't hide from the truth.)
Then the face off between Tang and Xi Ting! Woza. Scary foes. Not to mention Xi Ting truly sticking it too him during the interview. Oooo, so clever. If they push Tang to far something cray-cray may happen. After all I think he killed a man.
Switch to cute scenes in which Qian Ren has Yi Ting nursing him and nods for him to blow on his soup. I love how much these two warm up in this episode and it doesn't feel so forced seeing Yi Ting goofing off with his brother. Qian Ren is awesome in that he now wants Yi Ting and Xin Yu together. Even collaborating with Uncle Taing to get them to go stargazing and Yi Ting to "make moves!" Oh, man the previews got me all a flutter.
(Oh, and see the bullying nad Tourette's Syndrome was brought up again! Xin Yu has had her own hardships!)
This was also a great episode for Xin Yu to change people and make up. Lin Man and Xin Yu's conversation was so moving. Especially as she asked her mother to give up her plans and give her the USB. I loved that her mother decided she loved Xin Yu more than the games. Then Xin Yu and Xiao Yue got to make up too! It was hilarious that poor Yi Ting got stuck in the background listening to them makeup and cry. Though it should teach him that being open and truly asking forgiveness is all it takes. His excuse that he can't share is thoughts and emotions is a lie, boy's to proud! Though I have to say it was weird having Xiao Yue protect the place from break in and "hurt her ankle". Man the girls in this drama have glass ankles!
(Oh, and after everything I would never leave that USB plugged in and open! What if Tang sends a spy!)
This was a wonderful episode. I totally get why there very well might be more episodes. I welcome it. As long as it doesn't go past 20. (Because that is going way too far.) The character development of Behind Your Smile is something I truly admire and I love how much I care about these characters.

Xin Yu is smart! She pieced it all together. It can be argued that she didn't do it early. However, she is a kind spirit. She believes in the good and amazing things of life. I also loved her human reaction. She was angry, grieved, forgave, and then waited. Giving him every opportunity to tell her the truth. She gave him very heavy hints. In the end even after confronting him, expressing that she was more angry that he wouldn't tell her. That everyone else knew was horrible. She gave him another chance.
I think the reality is when she finds out about Xiao Yue it's gonna hurt. Bad. Though once she put all the coincidences and connections together you think she'd get suspicious about Xiao Yue. Xin Yu is innocent and that may not have fully crossed her mind yet.
Which brings me to Qian Ni, wowza. She is unintentionally handing information over about her dad. To fully scheming against Yi Ting. I'm kind of surprised he is so trusting about her and doesn't fully understand her scheming. (Oh, and I think Tang is one heck of a sexist jerk. I may have said that before.) Her black mail of Yi Ting doesn't really work? Or does verbally hearing what she figured out make it worse?
I'm also annoyed that without Qian Ni talking to him Yi Ting hadn't fully put it together. Yeah, he had vibes. At least he's finally looking towards Tang now. Lin Man clearly did some wrong, she admits it. She may have done it and I think she should take the blame, Tang clearly lead her down the path and set her up. Though I wonder how much control she had over the farm and poisonous milk?
Oh, and the saddest thing is Yi Ting's claims of Xin Yu never suffering. Though she lost her father young. He doesn't know much about her either. Though she's left herself open. I'm sure her Tourette's Syndrome is something she had to really struggle with. I hope the writer will take us there and address this. Because the setup is there. Xin Yu didn't have an easy school life and she had health issues. I really want the writers to address this and to show Yi Ting how much he didn't know. That he is wrong.
This is a crushing ending and things are going to get intense. Xin Yu doesn't know everything so there are still some frustrating reveals. I'm just afraid that everyone will be all, but he's great forgive him. I love Yi Ting, but he's done wrong. Make him sweat it. If he doesn't repent himself . . . I won't be happy.

This pondering pacing works for me. Because this drama is killing one thing I love the most: seriously developed characters.
BOOM!
One of the most powerful things about this episode Xiao Yue and Yi Ting's conversation when she comes to give him the contents of the locker. Because they're so similar Xiao Yue understands him. In that one conversation she cements them as friends, confesses, and realizes she must move on. Yi Ting is kind enough to not really comment on her confession and to--in his own way--extend friendship to her. Wow.
This episode was doozey for Yi Ting and Xin Yu. Yi Ting fantasizes and realizes that he wants more than a time table from Xin Yu before he betrays her. He wants her all. Then his mother brings him back to reality with her condition. (Though her excuse that she doesn't hate him because he's her child. She should feel guilt because she is laying the blame solely at Yi Ting's feet. There were other people evolved. Such as his experienced parents.) Yi Ting gave up so fast and is spouting lies to himself. Everyone else knows him well and realize his regrets. Yet he won't face himself, or open up to the one woman he truly loves and as Xiao Yue states is changing him. Making him a better person.
Can I just say how freaking awesome the kisses are in this drama! Thank you!
That said it's not find Yi Ting. You can't lie to her and keep leading her down the path of love. Even though he gave her half truths, but then lied about giving up some of his hate and intention towards her mother. The scene was very powerful, but I don't like that Qian Ni was spying. Clearly some information is going to leak to Tang.
Not to mention the big mystery of if Lin Man is truly innocent. She clearly had some hand in hurting the farm. How much is she using Su Zhongwen? Is he another poor innocent chess piece in this game of business sharks? Not to mention is Yi Ting going to be the best player and see what Tang has in store for him?
Things are really building up! Previews are hinting that the next episode is when Xin Yu will finally see the truth. To be honest I don't think that Yi Ting fully understands the compassion that Xin Yu has. That if he trusted her she very well might be able to see past his betrayal.

Ahhh! The kissing. Good thing my buffering is working fine because I rewatched the heck out of it! Only to be super disappointed by where the scene get caught off. Though it's for the best because after the deed I'd be so upset he did that with out telling her the truth.
I know a lot of people might find this slow. For me this emotional build up is perfection. All the sweet and wonderful moments of Yi Ting and Xin Yu are potent. Yet shadowed by his lies and the lies he has to keep telling her to mask them. Quite honestly it's terrifying and awesome. (I know I'm a sucker for emotional punishment.
The shopping scene was so much fun! Especially as she got him to carry her pink bag! Ha-ha. Though again foreshadowed by him not letting her in on any front. I'm a big communicator, in a lot of ways I'm like Xin Yu. Guarding myself once I like someone is impossible. When I fall in love I want them to be just as open. It hurts when they can't be, and I know if we can't change together it's best to leave. So I truly empathized with Xin Yu. Even with feeling so in love that you're willing to put it all on the line in hope and faith.
Okay, that aside I loved the gentlemanly face off of Yi Ting and Tang. Phew. Not to mention that I called it! Tang is the villain, and I am truly curious how the whole farm thing went down. Poor Yi Ting is in for a shock when he realizes he's been working with his sworn enemy and punished the wrong person. (Though it's still not revealed how much Lin Man is off the hook.)
Oh, and what's with Qian Ren telling Yi Ting to give up on her and let him have her! Firstly Qian Ren backed off and let Yi Ting and Xin Yu happen. Those emotions for her won't just vanish. This is a second lead trope that I despise. She's in love and no she's not an object you can pass around. If he would have perused her there's no doubt in my mind she would have fallen for him. He might not be her savoir, but I think if he kept pushing she'd have respected his honesty.
Anywho, what a brilliant emotional mess! Not to mention the plot is really building. I've gotten a lot of comments from other viewers that Behind Your Smile is slow. I'll admit it doesn't have swift pacing, and if the tropes were less utilized it would have more time. Yet the pace works just right for a pretty decent build up. With this episode being the pinnacle point of the build up.
(Yeah! The mysterious man of correspondence appears! I wondered if he would step into the show or be only in email form. Very curious to see how he'll affect the story.)
