7.0/10 - Very good.

The writers and the story know where it's going. Love it!

The episode starts off with Chubby and Tong Yao's game. Where we quickly learn she's not a team player, but she's good. Which is what we already know. She was playing by herself when we meat her and we see that she is good. The shock on the male gamers as they learn she's a woman. What is really awesome is learning that Ming was who she was playing against and that he picked her. Apparently he has picked most of the team. We get to see more of Ming and Chen's bond. Then the training that Tong Yao has to go through to become a pro and not just a hobby player it's nice.

Also, Tong Yao gets a chance to team up with K after all her work. Sadly Cheng and her ext, Jian Yang , are also there to work against her. Which leads to what happens when there's a woman in the mix. Drama and lies. The heat a woman has to deal with. As fans what to make up lies. Which is handled very well by Cheng. The conversation the two have about it is great.

Better yet is the reveal of what happened between Tong Yao and Jian Yang. It's so matter of fact and not blown up out of proportions. At least when the two tell it. Jian Yang's taught Tong Yao. It wasn't the gaming that broke them up when Jian Yang went pro. It was him cutting her out and slowly not responding to her. Until she was the only one still trying in the relationship. Jian Yang reaching out stating "you see how busy your are, let's try again now that you understand" is a jerk excuse. Tong Yao has moved on.

Biscuit is still an adorable star and I love that sweet cat. I love seeing Cheng's reaction to Tong Yao with her sweet kitty.

This episode was exactly where I wanted Falling Into Your Smile to go. The character build up and developing stories are great. I love a solid development that isn't rushed and viewers are given the chance to feel the emotions with the characters. The humor is great and I still love the female friendship connection and hope to see Tong Yao's friend in person more and less through phone/texting. Delivering on the light hearted fun I wanted. The gaming scenes where a bit clearer, but I still kind of tuned out.
