Overall: the series is losing me. 12 episodes about 25 minutes each. Airing on GagaOOLala https://www.gagaoolala.com/en/videos/7410/smile-after-tears-2026-e01 and iQIYI also on iqiyi https://www.iq.com/album/smile-after-tears-2026-1azk7nql9t9

What I Liked
- production value
- different personalities*
- supportive friends

Room For Improvement
- I was a bit confused with that intro scene, does he not have his previous memories?
- love rival
- voicing inner thoughts
- poor communication trope in episode 5
- *the low affect is hurting their chemistry
