Falling into Your Smile Episode 27
0 people found this review helpful
This episode starts off with the outing of the 'fan' who sent the package and in theory should clear up that issue. But it takes a silly insane turn with more social media shenanigans and some really, truly piss-poor management decisions by Club President Bao that understandably infuriate Cheng. From that point the episode degenerates into cliche' 'Noble Idiocy' drama trope as Cheng goes into silent mode doing things secretly and not talking to anyone, including Yao. His wrist is obviously hurt and then, the episode culminates with him making decisions that directly result in the loss of Game 1 of their match against YQBC. The show teases something going on with Hierophant and at this point it looks like Cheng may have lost this game on purpose. Because the writers have clearly leaned into the noble idiocy trope heavily here - to the point of excluding the audience as well as his lover and team from knowing what's going on - it makes the show just annoying to watch because until they finally reveal what's going on there is almost no point. One could easily just skip ahead until things are revealed and not miss anything but a bunch of contrived angst and drama. But not knowing the exact timepoints to skip to forces us to watch. Sigh ... lazy writing.

estar wanted to wait until this got completed, but curiosity got the better of me. even when i watched the tailor the erotic "dance" scenes made me uncomfortable, so i just skipped a lot of the start... idk why people like it, me the 2nd hand embarrassment kills me. but thankfully after that, this was fun. *******************************************************************************************Gunner is such a stunner pity he got a bit part at the start & wont be seeing more of him (i think). Wayu is hilarious & goofy as f*ck, also he is a shameless flirt - loved how he wouldn't stop flirting with Krit, who is such a hard character to read. most of the time i didn't know what he was thinking, but it's done / acted well, cause u can see emotion's but they subtle. can't wait for more cause this was really fun. *******************************************************************************************************btw i loved Tai what a ride & die friend he is - love him & hope he has more or a role then being supportive of Wayu, which while fun wont mean much once the romance gets started. *******************************************************************************side note: Wayu's mother is gross & it's so disgusting how she is neglecting her grandchild let alone how she is using & almost selling her son just to fund her selfish self. sadly Wayu wont cut her out of his life cause that isn't something children do no matter how evil their parents r not in Asian dramas/BL's

Love Me, Love My Voice Episode 24

IrenaK I already thought that sooner or later MQC would need to step back from some things. Given his relationship with Sheng, and eventually the likelihood of children, his current lifestyle would be hard to maintain. Of course, for the rest of the group, it can feel like the end of an era鈥攁 very sad moment, as farewells usually are... but in this case, it won't even be a farewell. It will just be him stepping into the background, but he'll still be there. 馃槍I particularly enjoyed the backstory of how it all started for the Perfect Voice. 馃憤馃

Loved our Queen full-on in revenge mode! Stunning and deadly! 馃憦馃槑I'm very happy that Cheoljong finally found out that So Yong was the one who saved him from the well. 馃 I wonder how this will affect his already distant relationship with Hwajin. How will he confront her about these lifelong lies? And what will it trigger in her? A redemption arc, or will she go full monster mode? 馃Hwajin is still in denial about having turned into a villain, and she just clings to the idea that the woman found in the well was her maid, simply to use it as an excuse for everything she has done ever since in the name of avenging her death... And I wonder how long it will take for Yeongpyeong to realise that his feelings for Hwajin are taking him down a questionable path? 馃馃様 Well, at least So Yong also knows who had the ledger and can tell Cheoljong at any time... 馃えAnd I definitely loved that Cheoljong and So Yong formed an official alliance. It looks like Bonghwan has almost accepted staying in So Yong's body forever. There is still conflict, yes, but overall, I can barely see them as separate people anymore. 馃槒

Why do I have a feeling that little prince might not have died because of an accident? Yeah, it looked like one, but what if someone organised the whole thing? I believe it wasn't Xiao Duo, though, because he looked quite dissatisfied with the kid's death. 馃I can't quite remember, because I watched the first few episodes a few months ago, but does Bu Yinlou talk to Xiao Duo without any male-female boundaries because she doesn't know he's not a eunuch? 馃馃きFu Wang has some trauma related to the darkness and was saved by Yinlou holding a lantern... That could be the reason why he's "in love" with her, and maybe also the reason why he is always making them? 馃

beachangelbaby Everything about this was a fairytale come true! ML leveled up in his acting skills with micro expressions and FL is so cute! Also adore the chemistry they had with their assistants and the love line between the assistants are cute as well.

viola Less frenetic pace-wise compared the last five eps, which is fine. I liked that we got to sit in Jeju Island with our two leads, and as always, their chemistry is very good. We're also getting more movement from our villain(s), who seem to also include Mo Tae-Hui aka Se-gye's blind date. I do like how he's already figured her out. I also like how he already knows that Mun-do is the one behind all these schemes. Usually, the villains are just annoying caricatures or extremely incompetent at their villainy, so Mun-do actually being very efficient at his evil-doing AND also known to the main leads is what makes the conflict actually work in terms of the drama. As for our leads themselves, I think this small interlude before that final kiss scene at the end works for their relationship. I was afraid that they'd get together very fast and then have their relationship contested, so I like how it's more of a slow pace (at least towards Seori's end).

This episode had the basics for a higher rating but I'm knocking off a couple of points because the writers are clearly and obviously leaning into the classic 'misunderstanding' trope to create dramatic tension. Cheng is being all angry and silent and mysterious and in classic, stereotypical fashion, this leads Yao to stew in her own thoughts and jump to negative conclusions and now is doubting their relationship. All because the writers have contrived to have Cheng give her the silent treatment for some unknown reason. Sure, it will turn out to be some important reason why he's acting this way but it's all contrivance just to get us viewers all concerned and anxious about their romance ... for absolutely no real reason. It's obvious audience manipulation and feels pretty cheap and contrived.

This was going really well until theschool reunion and the female classmate shows up. Personally I find interjecting a female character into a male male relationship spoils the rhythmn. Loved the parts with the mls and the second couple.
