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.Was this review helpful to you?

Somehow made me love Seo In Guk even more
I’ve always loved Seo In Guk—Reply 1997 was one of the first Asian dramas I ever watched as a kid—-but this role is something else, seriously. His portrayal of a fundamentally damaged, terrifyingly cold man, who’s desperately seeking meaning in a world he doesn’t understand, was SO moving.So, I cried my eyes out, will be needing about 50 hours of fluff dramas after completing this one.
TROPES (spoilers)
- anti-hero ML, cold man/warm woman
- murder mystery and some procedural vibes
- ML falls first and chases first
- affectionate lead couple
- fateful past connection
- amnesia from childhood trauma
- found family

#HundredMillionStarsFromTheSky Review (하눌에서 내리는 1억 개의 별):
1) 10/10
2) 슬프면. 너무 슬프면. 😔💔
3) Its unique plot and cinematography got that vibe in me and it entirely left a whole different hole in my soul. This is traumatic.
4) It's the first KDrama to ever come at par with Love Rain for me.
5) 소민 did well on this more than ever from her past KDramas.
6) 무영와 진강. 여웒이.

Outstanding
What to say? Outstanding. A masterpiece for its genre.This is not a conventional love story, but an actual melodrama which will keep you glued to the screen till the last second.
The story is intense, intricate, and well developed in general (apart some minimal plot-holes). I liked the way it was structured in order to keep the spectators constantly in suspense, sipping the details episode after episode, but at the same time leading them to figure out the potential developments so that the attention as well as the expectation is always high. Tears (a lot) are assured. Some moments and key scenes are really cruel in their tragedy.
The Leads, simply awesome all the three. Seo In Guk confirms his talent as handsome and damned, able to recreate the dramatic traits of his character as expected, constantly immersed in his role. Jung So Min, perfectly suited for the role, well impersonating her character also phisically. Both of them showing an intense chemistry. Park Sung Woong, the gentle giant, who hides a dark past, loyal to her sister so far as to make extreme gestures. He's well completed by a brilliant Jang Young Nam, all along the story. Also the other support characters were developed and defined. Maybe the villains were on the verge of psychopathy, which could compromise their credibility.
Music, excellent. I confess that I fell in love for Lost by Lim Yeon.
Just a word to some who criticized, complaining about the lack of continuity, gigantic plot holes and not nice performances of some: you should watch and understand what you watched prior to saying nonsenses. Unless you were writing about other shows.
For the rest, keep the tissues ready and enjoy it.

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.

Minha opnião
Eu realmente amo essa historia, ela é diferente de muitas coisas que eu já assistir e por isso me agrada bastante.A química do casal é maravilhosa, desde o inicio você percebe uma faísca entre os dois. A prota tenta não se envolver, mas quando dá por si já esta apaixonada e ele no inicio é bastante estranho (beirando a psicopatia, mas ele só não tem porque se importa), mas vai mudando com o tempo. Tem certas decisões que me dão raiva e problemas que eram simples de resolver, mas a historia tem que tomar um rumo diferente, não é mesmo? Mas tirando isso, eu recomendo esse dorama a todos.

Le personnage principal reste intéressant. Avec un côté anti-héros, il n'est pas juste arrogant.
L'intrigue au début m'a tenu en haleine mais au bout d'un moment y a trop de raccourci, de trou scénaristiques sur des éléments qui pour moi été super intéressants.
Je ne sais pas ce qu'il en ait pour la version japonaise...
Même si l'alchimie pour le couple principal passé très bien, je n'arrivais pas à être à fond.
Les personnages secondaires restent très intéressants. Et les musiques sont pas trop mal.
Je reste donc sur une impression mitigée... Dommage.

Well that was disappointing
A lot of the plot could have been easily resolved if the characters just had a heart to heart. It's truly my biggest pet peeves when conflicts can be solved by just being honest and talking to each other which infuriated me specifically towards the end.A lot of the side characters from the start were pretty dispensable and almost entirely forgotten by the second half, which was sad to say the least.
I did enjoy the two main characters besides of the lack of communication business of course. The actors were really great specifically the main lead guy. The way he enjoyed as MY put a lot of layers into his performance. Truly a great job!
The ending is way to abrupt for my liking and needed at least another 5 min to let the audience breath.

O Sorriso Deixou Seus Olhos - resenha de Helena Mansur
Esse drama me surpreendeu de muitas formas. Coloquei ele na lista por causa do Seo In Guk (que não decepciona nunca) e demorei a vê-lo por achar que seria bem clichê. Mas ao começar a assistir, o roteiro bem escrito e a trama bem elaborada foram me cativando, trazendo personagens cheios de traumas psicológicos e segredos do passado, e que estavam entrelaçados de alguma maneira. Porém as coisas foram se revelando aos poucos, aumentando minha curiosidade e me deixando mais interessada. Diferentemente de muitos dramas de romance, o amor que existe entre os protagonista se revela muito profundo e o final é insuperavelmente forte (me lembrei do quanto sofri em "Moon Lovers"). Mas, muito além do romance, esse drama traz a mensagem de que sempre vivemos as consequências de nossas escolhas, o que é bem típico da cultura oriental, pois não há como ser feliz causando dor aos outros e, infelizmente, inocentes também sofrem. Muitos personagens desse drama trazem essa mensagem. Aliás, o elenco é ótimo! Sou muito fã de Park Sung Woong Oppa (rsrsrs) e de Jung So Min. Talvez não seja o drama ideal para as "dorameiras sonhadoras", mas é perfeito para quem curte histórias de suspense e anti-heróis.Was this review helpful to you?
Un dramma wow!
Questo dramma è uno di quelli che difficilmente riesci a catalogare. Trama intricata e complicata che pian piano prende forma con un cast fantastico.Una bella storia ma anche triste con un finale poco soddisfacente.Un misto tra griallo thriller e romanticismo con tanta tragedia e commozione.
Lui e lei due fantastici interpreti .Lui è meravigliosamente intrigante ma anche inquietante,sul limite della follia ma sotto è un meraviglioso ragazzo.
Lei sembra fragile ma è una tosta e proteggerà con i denti quel amore. Anche il fratello di lei una grande interpretazione.
In complesso un capolavoro come dramma nonostante il finale poco convincente ma la storia e gli attori meritano tantissimo.

Ce drama je l'ai regardé juste pour Seo In-Guk à la base. Je l'avais vraiment adoré dans King Shopping Louie qui est un de mes drama préféré. Et franchement je ne m'attendais pas a ça . Il joue un rôle totalement différent et avec autant de talent que dans King Shopping Louie. Ça me conforte dans le fait que j'adore cet acteur. Jung So-Min c'est une actrice de talent on va pas se le cacher et Park Sung-Woon c'est vraiment un acteur fantastique que j'adore a chaque fois que je le vois.Déjà avec un cast comme ça, le drama part bien.
Le scénario est vraiment génial. On se pose des questions durant tout le drama et on n'a des réponses qu'a la toute fin nous laissant en haleine. Le drama est vraiment sombre. En fait la seule petite lumiere c'est la romance que j'ai adoré. Et les personnages parlons en. Kim Mu-Yeong est vraiment différent. Ce personnage est différent de tout ceux qu'on a l'habitude dans les drama. En fait c'est vraiment lui le centre du drama a mon avis. Et le policier est vraiment un personnage intéressant. Je ne l'appreciais pas vraiment mais il est vraiment interessant a étudier. Les derniers épisodes m'ont fait pleurer ma maman!! Je n'en pouvais plus a la fin...
Par contre il y a beaucoup de problemes et de drames qui auraient pu etre evités si les personnages s'étaient parlés. Comme cans beaucoup de drama vous allez me dire mais quand meme dans ce drama on le remarque vraiment.
Et aussi les OST ne m'ont pas trop marquée je ne m'en rapelle d'aucune en particulier
Malgrés ces petits défaut, je conseille vraiment The Smile Has Left Your Eyes!

É inegável que a história deste drama é profunda e realmente bem escrita. Não há nada que eu possa reclamar da obra em si, mas sinceramente, o relacionamento entre os dois não me comoveu nem me deixou animada para apoiá-los. Ele surgiu de uma tragédia, e seria ok se não fosse o fato da garota que morreu ser AMIGA da principal, achei extremamente estranho que ainda assim ela tenha se apaixonado em uma pessoa que nem sequer ficou tão triste assim com a morte da ex, que aconteceu de ser alguém importante na vida dela!Além disso, com o decorrer da história, eu comecei a me sentir realmente incomodada com a principal por ser tão infantil em uns momentos, e queria mesmo poder abraçar o irmão dela, que mesmo tendo sido o mais errado ali, hora nenhuma foi romantizado, e ainda assim queria o bem da garota acima de tudo.
Fora o casal principal, eu acredito que tudo nesse drama foi incrível. A forma como tudo se conecta, então, maravilhoso.
