Smile Code had a fresh take on romance as it paired a standup comedian with a man who has alexithymia.. Which means he struggles to express or even feel emotions.. It’s refreshing and honestly that’s what made me start the drama.. It’s not your typical romance and I was curious to see how these two completely different people would connect..The storyline does a great job of mixing comedy with drama.. I really liked the friendship and their chemistry with each other.. While the story does get a bit melodramatic at times the actors and the story keeps you interested or atleast in the first half..
Shen Yue was genuinely and effortlessly funny.. Lin Yi as a person with alexithymia was really good.. Their chemistry is what really drives the show and it evolves so naturally.. But he really had some psychological issues.. Kudos to the FL for holding on to him for so long as it was not easy..
The first half of the series was really strong but the second half felt pretty poorly executed.. It dragged on way too much and just felt stretched.. One thing that really bothered me was how they made her look in that breakup scene.. Seriously did they need to make it so over the top?? The missing tooth made it feel more awkward than emotional..
About halfway through the drama just lost its spark.. It became a bit of a snoozefest for me.. Honestly the second half really dragged the whole show down and kind of ruined the experience..
I really didn’t like the scene where the SML proposes to her only for it to be abruptly cut off by the ML before she even had a chance to respond.. She didn’t reject him so the SML still didn’t get a clear answer and that was just a really poor way to handle the scene.. It felt unfair to his character.. Even after that she led him on.. Not giving him a firm rejection or any kind of clear answer.. It took another two episodes and yet another proposal for her to finally give him an answer and I don’t know, it just didn’t sit well with me..
When the ML came back for her the way she treated him was honestly pretty harsh.. I get why she acted that way but it still felt awful.. The guy really deserved another chance after everything he had been through..
What made it worse was the final few episodes.. After everything, she rejected his proposal in front of everyone.. That was like a slap in the face.. When she proposed to him in the last episode I honestly kind of hoped he would reject her.. Just for the sake of it..
Overall Smile Code is definitely just a one time watch.. But it’s worth it for its unique premise and the excellent performances by the main leads..
P.S. I was so confused when I saw the reviews for this drama in MDL.. Everyone was rating it a 10.. But if you check their profiles it's just accounts that were created to rate this one drama.. There are so many such accounts in the review section and it's honestly kind of sad to see how far people are willing to go..

Imagining the love moments of emotionless Liang Dai Wen and getting butterflies in my stomach!?
Liang Dai Wen is an emotional blind. He doesn’t feel anything. But he fell in love with Gu Yi at first sight without knowing it! Gu Yi also falls for Liang Dai Wen. Soon due to fate, they started living together under the same roof! (It’s getting more exciting episode by episode!👀)Tbh, I was waiting a lot for the drama and it didn’t disappoint me till now after watching almost 9 episodes! And it’s giving off a lot of 'Put Your Head On My Shoulder' drama vibes.
This drama's cinematography is also good, just give it a try. Hope ya'll like it.
HAPPY WATCHING!💛

MUST WATCH or You Will Regret Not Watching This.
This is absolutely one of my favourite C-dramas ever!It’s something anyone can and should watch, no matter what genre they prefer. Smile Code is a heartwarming, slow-burn romance that beautifully captures the essence of human emotions. The storyline is full of emotional depth and subtlety, with well-crafted characters that feel so real.
The actors, supporting actors, and director are all phenomenal. They’ve done a fabulous job of bringing these characters to life. When I first started watching, I almost thought about dropping it because the first three episodes felt a bit slow. But once I finished the 4th episode and started the 5th, I became completely hooked. The pacing picks up, and the emotional connection between the characters becomes so strong that it’s impossible to look away.
I loved how each character was portrayed—every actor nailed their role, bringing authenticity to their performance. The way they express emotions makes you feel like you’re living the story with them. You can truly empathize with their struggles and victories. The chemistry between the leads is undeniable, and it makes their relationship feel genuine and grounded.
Another thing I really appreciated was the drama's soundtrack. Every OST adds something special to the scenes, enhancing the emotions and making the experience even more memorable. The music really complements the mood of the drama and sticks with you after you finish watching.
I HIGHLY recommend giving Smile Code a chance—it’s a beautiful, emotional journey with relatable characters. Whether you’re a fan of slow-burn romance or just want to watch a well-made drama, you won’t regret it!🪄💛

A HIDDEN GEM C-DRAMA
Ah~ this drama is so good. The storyline is enjoyable and had such a fresh idea. The cinematography is film-like, with a retro color theme which is very uncommon in any other c-drama. The two lead actors' chemistry is undeniably amazing. Their acting is superb! The plot is a unique concept in which the male lead suffers from emotional blindness and are loved by a female who performed a stand-up comedian, which is interesting to me. She does everything to make the male lead smile again and help him recover from his emotionless condition. Their love story is impossible to describe. They are sooo adorable and cute. If you haven't watched it yet, don't hesitate and go watch it. I had butterflies in my stomach every time I saw each of their episodes :) Unquestionably, this is a must-see.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

I'm looking forward to the remaining episodes and have high hopes that they’ll continue to bring the same joy and excitement. There’s a fascinating journey unfolding here, and I can’t wait to see where it leads. If you enjoy stories with strong characters, emotional connections, and a plot that keeps you guessing, this series is definitely worth watching. It's been a fantastic ride so far, and I’m eagerly anticipating what’s next!
