Smile Code really stands out as a fresh and entertaining drama. I found Lin Yi’s portrayal of Liang Daiwen impressive; he gives life to a character who struggles to express his feelings due to alexithymia, and it’s fascinating to see him convey emotion in such subtle ways. Shen Yue, as Gu Yi, adds a perfect balance of humor and warmth. Her comedic timing feels natural, and her character’s wit lights up every scene, making her incredibly relatable and charming.

Their chemistry feels genuine and keeps the story engaging. The drama also brings out a unique vibe by setting it in Shanghai, capturing the energy and challenges of city life that so many young people face today. I love how Smile Code explores real-life themes like resilience, self-discovery, and the ups and downs of urban youth. It makes you feel that there’s always hope, even amidst life’s struggles.

Visually, the show is captivating, with each scene carefully crafted to reflect the mood, from vibrant cityscapes to more intimate settings that allow the characters’ emotions to shine.

Watch this, you won't regret it
