Sometimes you need all the cheese.

Smile to Life is a super easy cheesy drama to watch. It had every troupe there was and then some and that was great. I love my melodramas and I love my rom-coms, but every once in a while, I really enjoy a cheesy C-drama.

I didn’t know anything about ALS and I probably wouldn’t watch the show if I knew someone with ALS or if I had ALS because I’m sure the drama doesn’t portray the disease accurately, however, I know a little more about it. Also, this is the first drama where someone has it, so it was different for me.

The actors were cute and had super great chemistry. They are pretty together and I’m not sure on the FL age (she looks young), but I was happy that the ML was 25. It’s kind of hard to watch actors who look like they are 16, especially during the kissing scenes.

I liked the wardrobe was cute and they didn’t frump the FL too much (because I really hate it when they do that). The outfits were overall cute, however due to budget the sets were horrible and the dubbing could have been better. This didn’t deter away from the drama, but it’s a low budget drama, so you take it for what it’s worth.

I liked the casting, the friends were cute the villains did their job at being villains and I appreciate every troupe that was thrown in there. Loved the jilted ex-girlfriend, love the fall-kisses and silly jealousies.

Overall, if you are looking for a cheesy C-drama, you will get all the feels with this one.
