The Smile Has Left Your Eyes (2018)

Well, this drama have some positive and some negative things. The story is very addictive and you find yourself increasingly anxious to know what happened in the past of the main characters. Seo In Guk's acting is so good, he was certainly the best thing in this drama. But unfortunately there are some disappointing things, at least for me. The last episodes was really.. nosense? When they explained the main characters past I thought that was a very random explanation. It seemed a lit bit forced.

Jin Kang is a very annoying character. I couldn't shipp her and Moo Young because they sound so forced. Out of nowhere she starts liking him, even when SHE KNEW IT that he was bad to his girlfriend (that was actually Jin Kang's very close friend). Moo Young is actually a bad person but she was always protecting him and defending him. I know, sometimes he deserved it but most of the time, no. And oh my god, when she breaks up with him... what a drama. She kept saying she couldn't live without him when in fact, she could. Why wouldn't she live? She have a "brother", friends, people who really cares about her. Moo Young on the other hand, doesn't have anyone, so it makes much more sense for him to say that he didn't want to live. So yeah, I didn't like this couple at all.

Jin Kang's brother was very annoying too. All the time he was blaming Moo Young and calling him a monster, a murderer, when in fact he isn't a good person either. He hid Jin Kang's past and ignored all the bad things that this secret could cause. I hated him so much ugh.

Seriously, Moo Young was the best character. He's actually a bad person but I found him interesting. And sometimes I understood him. I liked how intelligent he was, well, at least in the beggining. He's going to trust a woman that HE KNOWS that isn't trustful and he knows she's a bad person too. And all this trust, fucks him later. As a character who was so smart and who calculated all his steps all the time, why he was so stupid? Didn't make any sense for me.

That's it. I liked the mystery in this drama but for me Moo Young was the best thing. But well, if you like a suspense and a mystery drama, this may please you because it really makes you think in a lot of theories. And who knows, you might even like the main couple.

Incredible. So many unexpected plot twists, kept me guessing the entire time.

I've been wanting to watch this drama for years. I love both actors and have watched them in separate dramas and couldn't wait to see what they would be like together. This drama kept me guessing the entire time. So many plot twists, I can't count how many times I let out an audible gasp. Great chemistry between the actors, really interesting story line. Some parts of the drama were a little questionable, like her friend died and she was sad and then we never heard of that friend again. And her brother stabbed her boyfriend and she didn't seem all that upset about it. But it was more focused on her story and his story so I can let those things pass. The ending was absolutely tragic. I don't know that I've ever sobbed so hard watching any drama, besides Hwarang. It was heartbreaking, bittersweet. But absolutely beautiful. I couldn't sleep because I just kept thinking about it. The writers really knew what they were doing with this drama. I'm beyond impressed.

In the final episode. Kim Moo Young spoke the words that meant " I felt human when I killed someone" - this reminded me of Inuyashiki (anime) where the young boy antagonist always tell these exact words. The final episode made me emotional at most and broke me to tears. It's like it all summed up when they were lying dead and Yoo Jin Gook saw them. Like it summarized it all, where it really hurt and the story matters the most. Being saved, living, and dying together while they're at each others side is really... Ugh. There's so much feels for that scene even though I watched it with too much gaps in between. I fell in love with the actors. Now i need some time again to watch another drama that stars them.

Surprisingly good drama!

The male lead looks like the anime character Gaara from Naruto. Oddly, there is something that I find attractive about his appearance in this drama. I don't know if I find the male lead character or the actor attractive; I am hoping it's the actor, as the character is a sociopath! To be transparent when I saw the second female lead actress (not the character) in the first episode, I was hesitant to continue to watch this drama because I wasn't fond of her performance in another drama (My Golden Life) that I watched with her in it. However, she did a much better job in this drama than the other drama. This drama is really good, and I get excited after watching each episode. This drama is totally binge-watch-worthy! The only con is the pace of episode 15, I feel like 3 major things happened within one episode and it felt rushed. This drama should have been 17 or 18 episodes, instead of 16. The last episode was fantastic. I don't think a drama has to have a happy ending in order for it to be good. I believe the ending should make sense (realism), and the ending to this drama made 100% sense. The male lead actor did a fantastic job acting in this drama. I actually think he's the best male actor in South Korea.

I found out about this drama via the recommendation list for the drama Nevertheless.
