Behind Your Smile Episode 1 Reactions
"I can rely on myself!"
So far I like the messages here. Her mom had to take on the family business and support her daughter. They clearly had a great relationship. Xin Yu clearly has faith that her mother didn't do all that. It really makes you wonder what is going on. Quite honestly I hope Xin Yu is right! Her mother is innocent. Which makes me all the more invested.
I had no idea that Lee Sean was in here! Oh my! I fear he's already become the perfect second lead. My poor boy! Great setup for Yi Ting and Qian Ren crossing paths, though we have no idea if they actually have a history. He was so sweet to Xin Yu. Though it was all very much a setup for second lead syndrome/pity. ^_-
Ah! I love the whole thing where Xin Yu decided she had enough and helped out the parking ticket girl! I was so relieved when she turned around and help her too. Girls gotta stick together. It felt like they could have a great friendship and maybe even a womance? >_< Though some might find it cruel that she offered her a place to live and then turned around and told her she had to pay rent. She's helping her on the right path, because without any contacts it has to happen.
Oh, and the finger stamp thing has been confirmed. It doesn't count. As it shouldn't. (You know when the finger print is forced on a contract/check.) I wonder if this is a new change in the law or if it's been a while? Because I always thought a fingerprint was crazy. Too easily forced obviously!
So Yi Ting is the perfect cold broody male lead. With just enough warmth to thaw him out for a bit between being a jerk. Ha-ha. I really wonder what he plans with slipping that engagement ring in Xin Yu's pocket? Oooooooooo, after he tore down her mom he plans to exploit the daughter. But he doesn't know her and pities her/regrets his action.
To be quite honest from the first synopsis and some of the comments I put this drama off. Even though I really wanted to watch it. This first episode is very promising. Xin Yu is a very cute lead, but I like that she has some backbone. I'm curious to get to know her more and this plot. It's a very promising first episode.

The Angel: We first meet Lian's daughter as she descends from a cab, in ultra fabulous shoes, and a crowd of disgruntled workers part way for her, momentarily stunned. However once they recognize her, they don't hesitate in throwing her to the ground, and tearing possessions out of her hands. She runs away, virtually homeless overnight. Numerous calls to her nearest and dearest go unanswered.
The Angel is a typical Candy heroine, with a spark of fire in her, shown when she attacks a fare-dodging male in a car park, and befriends the parking lot attendant.
The Immortal: He rescues our Candy heroine twice, but is enigmatic enough, for me to be fiercely fascinated about him. I hope his intentions remain unclear a little longer. We don't know much about him, except he has a chauffeur that doubles up as a PI, and he's engaged to Angel's classmate, though it's clear, she's more into it than him, as he warns her about getting hurt further along the line. He is also, a tiny bit hot.
The Good Samaritan: Clearly the second male lead, and very small screen time, but his appearance hits an unexpected punch. Mistaking our Candy Heroine for a domestic abuse victim, he delivers such an empowering speech, that even those listening in, will feel uplifted and have faith in humanity thrice-fold. Even I was ready to swing a lasso and catch a cow, in metaphorical speech.
The Parking Lot Attendant: Also helps the heroine out, by giving her food, clothes and a place to sleep. But her no-nonsense approach is impressive. She doesn't accept freeloading, and lines a job up for Candy heroine straightaway.
Angel's Classmate: Also fiance of the Immortal. Classmate gets the unexpected upperhand, when Candy comes into her place of work, asking for a job. She is the driving force to the cliffhanger, that leaves me excited for the upcoming episodes.
Things that can be Improved: Make the heroine less Candy. I like her, and she has spirit. But I would like her to be less taken advantage off as the show progresses. Overall, the show gives me a mysterious, gothic not gothic, vibe I didn't realise I was searching for, until I found it.
