Smile Code (2024)

Terrible everything the script the production

I don't know how anyone can like this film!! The lighting in this film is atrocious. It is super dark and yellow. You could tell it's a low budget film. The script is atrocious as well. The girl is not even funny. She's supposed to be a comedian. No one will believe such a thing!!! I cannot believe any girl will like the guy even if he is good looking. He also has little to say and is not interesting to say the least!! I've been watching 10 episodes and I cannot bear watching anymore. The whole thing I've scrapped after wasting 10 hours of my life!! One of the most atrocious film I've seen in a long time. It's really sad because the actor and actress are very good in many other films ( loved the male lead in memory of encaustic tile- watch that instead what a great story) . Too bad they have a bad script!! There's absolutely nothing good about this film. Even the costume is terrible. She is dressed so dumpy looking. Ughs

Best Cinematography of all Shen Yue’s Drama

I finished the latest release episode in one go and so far Shen Yue microexpression really improves a lot. Some might confuse the main content of this story is comedy talkshow but it is not. This is more of drama that focus on healing of the past. Yue like the moon itself will give the light & sunshine on her ML. I am not surprised between the chemisty of Shen Yue & Lin Yi since they are best friend in real life. It comes naturally. I really hope the upcoming episode will not give us any long dull moment since this is 34 episode - this is one the weakest part of every cdrama with many episode.

I would to thank Director Che for giving Shen Yue’s drama quality of production. Knowing that Yueyue wants to become a director and it will give her abetter idea on how create good production in the future.

boring drama, wasteful talent

bad production. bad lighting. bad script

i have given chance 4 eps (40 minutes x 4). i think it is more than enough to tell. I wont spend too much time on boring drama / cant give me interest while watching

wasteful talent. Lin Yi and Shen Yue are good actor, actress, with this script, it is really wasteful

alexithymia—also known as “emotional blindness” ?? this kind of disease / psychology disorder only happen in cdrama, not in real world

this main plot already repeated so many times in cdrama. poor creativity

OST are good though, easy listening

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.

Horrible writing, terribly boring

Normally c dramas have great beginnings and go downhill from the midpoint on. This show doesn't waste time even trying to be good. Episode 1 was one of the worst first episodes I've seen in awhile. Episode 2 was awful as well. Couldn't get through either episode without fast forwarding through every song that's played or the horribly boring dialog between most of the characters. It took a lot to finish the entire second episode.

The female lead was fine acting wise, while every other character provided bad to sub par acting. The male lead acts identical in every role, always a non charismatic emotionless role. Talk about always having 1 note performances.

You can tell nothing but fanboys of the lead actor and actress rating this show nothing but perfect tens. This show is far far away from being perfect.

Cons
Editing is horrible.
Introduction of each character especially the second leads was poorly done.
Dialog is awful.
Characters are all uninteresting, specially the female lead comedian who isn't funny.

Pros
Both the main and second female leads are attractive
