Weird, but in a good way

I decided to give this show a shot die to its obvious similarities to one of my favorite dramas The School Nurse Files. I have only watched one episode so far, and as expected, its weird. But I like that. The characters do seem more normal and human than in The School Nurse Files (check out my review for that one to see what I mean), but it still has a similar unsetteling atmosphere. Im excited to keep watching, and will update my review in a couple days when I'm done binging it! I wasnt sure about Netflix making dramas, but if this one is as good as im expecting it to be, i cant wait to see what they do next. We need more straight up weird dramas.

Update: after some thorough binging I have finished the show. It reallu took a huge turn about halfway though, without giving much information, it went from a The School Nurse Files vibe to a Save Me vibe. The humor let up in the later episodes, which is not surprising. I do wish it had kept that weirdness going, and involved more of the alien aspect, but it was still a good watch. Definitely worth giving a shot if you are into any sort of cult stories or aliens/scifi.

I HAVE TO GET THIS OUT OF MY CHEST!!!!!

This is really funny, i'm not even done with episode one and I'm already writing a review, I'm sorry but i just have to say this

Why the hell is win angry at Korn, just because the father gave Korn 25%, seriously I mean with what ive watched so far, i think korn deserves it, i feel he has been working there for a very long time and he has helped out a lot, Win shouldn't behave like that. Although I'm not even done with episode one, i just had to say this.... Soooo...but the music is actually interesting, it has a country music vibe to it.. And i love the cast especially Lin. So let see....

racist since ep 1

Oh god not korea jumping on the racist propaganda associating muslims, arabs and/or arabic speakers to terrorism lol
As if it wasn't enough for korean dramas to hype up the zionist colonial state at every occasion
Too late 2024 made it clear who the real terrorists are, and they will actually be brought up to the icc and icj for supporting the genocide in Gaza.
Also is korea really that bothered by human trafficking or the age of consent? I know of some korean public figures who are known predators and can still walk under the sun there, some of them get featured in kdramas too.

The worst

Ugh, I don't know how to say this nicely buuuut...
In short, this was so awful and cringy and oh my god I couldn't finish even the first episode and I really tried. I don't know how this has such a high rating... the acting, the plot...everything was so cringe...the worst bl in my opinion and I watched a lot... I know that Thai bl knows to be over the top with style and acting but this was like over the top for me... I didn't want to judge until I see more but I just couldn't watch anymore...I was expecting more similar reviews and comments but I guess people vibe with this

I WATCHED 4 EPISODES, SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO!

You can say CGI doesn't matter as long as the story good.
No you are wrong. The CGI hurts my eyes! If I learn 3D animation my self, I believe I could create better CGI :)
I notice bad CGI from first episode, but I would like to give second chance as the story is quite unique.

Second issue with this series is the Male Lead character get his brain grow in reverse like Benjamin Button. The Male Lead first appearance as 20 years old something, a bit childish but mature enough to hold 2 jobs as con-magician-artist and inn-butler.
2 episodes later, the character turned into a 5 years old boy in an adult body!

Main story is still not clear at this point. What is the mission? Who are the villains? What need to be done?

It’s got a plot

Honestly, it’s enjoyable. It doesn’t revolve completely around two characters forking, there’s a pretty solid plot that makes sense, and the leads have a lot of chemistry.

No doubt, a lot of people find Pit Babe to be more interesting, but in a way this one feels more adult to me. Sure, there’s a reincarnation storyline that they managed to also wrap into a “they knew each other as children” plot line, but I didn’t find myself skipping a lot and with a lot of these Thai dramas a ton of it fills like filler just so you can see the two main characters bone.

I don’t know, it’s nice to see something that doesn’t hinge entirely on the sexual relationship between two men, and it actually throws danger at them.

What more can you ask for?

Revenge is a dish best served cold or in this case sizzling hot

I started this drama because I liked the trailer and premise of it and more so because I'm interested in seeing Yoon So Yi in a new drama and Yoon Hyun Min, of course. That said, I'm not sure how I feel about him as Cha Min Joon, a lawyer, who defends the rich despite their guilt, or even the man who feels guilty and compensates their victims with his own money for it. But seeing him at Hae Ra's book signing deepened my curiosity for him. There has to be a story there.

The moment I saw Kim Hyun Sung at the train station, he gave me bad vibes. I knew he was staged and most likely by Hae Ra's husband. A coward of a man who uses his fists rather than his words, and as they say, violence is the last refuge of the incompetent. So, as I watched, I found myself thinking there didn't seem to be anything special about this revenge plot until I saw Yoon So Yi at the agency (I am already in love with her role in this) as the plotter, I found myself getting excited. There's an absolute satisfaction in watching the filthy rich and their equally amoral pawns get hoisted by the very people they dismiss as good for nothing. It's so wholly appealing; I'm all in with this drama, at least for now.

Decent actors in a bad plot line drama. Production quality is also bad.

Smile Code is a Rom-com starting Shen Yue and Lin Yi, my favorite actors. However, I could not see myself continuing with this drama for the following reasons:

1. The production quality is so bad that it is difficult for the eyes.
2. The plot is so stupid, and seeing two good actors in this drama is sad.
3. After two episodes, I am dropping this drama. Their onscreen chemistry is so bad that it is unbearable to watch.
3. I give it a 3.0 rating.

Synopsis: It tells the story of a down-and-out part-time talk show actress and an aloof male audience member suffering from alexithymia—also known as "emotional blindness"—who get close to each other and heal each other. A love story of a woman who is funny to the end and a man who can't laugh, and a love contest begins. However, the romance is connected to the emotions between men and women and the struggling urban youths living in Shanghai. On and off the stage in the play, the spicy yet observational complaints hit the pain points of life, and the humorous ridicule is light. Still, it is also full of optimism and open-mindedness.

Headache

I'm not sure if it's an artistic angle by the camera man..but shots are blurry..double imaging...i had a headache just watching it! I had seriously thought it was my eyesight..i had to get a second opinion! I'll give it another episode..if this blurry double focus continues..I'm dropping it. Just very nauseous trying to watch it.

Then while trying to submit this review..i was prompted i need 500 characters to post.!! Seriously?

So here goes...no spoilers
Storyline is interesting and i like the 2nd ML..i feel there's not much chemistry between the ML and FL..though I'm 3 episodes in.

This drama doesn't give any justice to the novel...sigh...it's just a total rubbish, the storyline fked up so much.
the very basic plot from novel was changed, the characters' background was changed too. the story in the novel was more profound and deep while this alteration in the drama was like a story that 12 y.o write.

The Setting in the novel was done better, and don't even mention the side character. The original Xuan Mo in the novel wasn't as stupid as Xuan Mo in the drama, she wasn't pushover either. Yi Lai Han in the novel wasn't a character that got a lot of spotlight, he's just some unimportant side character. And the character of Yi Lai Han is VAST different than here....sigh....
