Smile Code

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

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

Best Drama 2024

Kita mulai penilaian dari segi pengambilan gambar, ya ampun sutradaranya sangat handal, semuanya diambil secara apik, aesthetic, enak dipandang, dari sisi manapun indah banget apalagi pas adegan pengambilan pemandangannya good jood pokoknya. Dari segi akting gatau lagi mau ngomong apa soalnya ShenYue x LinYi udah best partner utk adu skill akting sih jadi 100 buat mreka, apalagi chemistry, harusnya dapet award best CP sih huhu smoga tahun depan dapet mereka. Pokoknya kalian harus nonton soalnya alurnya sat set ga ngebosenin, gak monoton, dari segi visuali ga kalah sama drama budget kelas atas, buruan!!!

HISTÓRIA ARRASTADA E UM ROMANCE QUE FOI LADEIRA ABAIXO

Sinceramente, que perda de tempo.
Até a metade a história é tolerável e a premissa é diferente e empolgante, mas depois que o protagonista masculino vai embora a história vai ladeira abaixo.
Tirando o roteiro ser original esse drama não tem mais nada de bom, as piadas da protagonista são ruins e sem graça, a história de trauma do protagonista é fraca e mal desenvolvida, os milhares de mal entendidos são cansativos, a narrativa é arrastada e a protagonista feminina vai se tornando cada vez mais insuportável.
Voltando ao ponto de ruptura (que foi a ida do protagonista para cuidar do pai e fazer terapia) tudo que aconteceu dali em diante foi muito forçado e cruel. O protagonista tem um problema, ele está sofrendo e quebrado mas a protagonista feminina tem que ser cruel e insensível o tempo todo mesmo sabendo com quem estava lidando e sabendo que ele estava se esforçando para melhorar. Eu genuinamente comecei a odiá-la e a odiar o casal pois o protagonista masculino merecia alguém muito melhor, as humilhações que ela o submeteu foram muito mesquinhas.
Eu nunca mais quero chegar perto dessa série.

Heartwarming and Healing

Mungkin bagi sebagian orang akan merasa kalau dramanya gelap, tapi bagiku ini keren karena mengikuti kehidupan Liang Dai Wen yang suram dan kemudian menemukan warna hidupnya lewat Gu Yi. Lambat laun pencahayaannya bukan lagi gelap abu-abu, tapi kuning keemasan, yang membuat drama ini tuh kesannya hangat dan comforting. Disini juga menerapkan color theory yang membuat setiap scene lebih hidup.

Ada beberapa scene yang menurutku mengejutkan, ada scene mencekam yang agak horror, psikologi, komedi dari liang dai wen dan gu yi, mellow yang bikin nangis, dan romansa dewasa yang cukup intens.

Aku suka chemistry keduanya, apalagi disaat mereka sudah jadi couple, mereka menyikapi semua masalah dengan dewasa, gak cemburuan atau bertengkar karena meributkan hal sepele, realistis, saling support, saling menyembuhkan dan saling bergantung satu sama lain. Intinya cinta dan effort mereka seimbang.

Suka banget sama OST Smile Code sampai aku masukin playlist spotify, semua lagunya bagus dan universal, nyaman untuk didengarkan bahkan oleh penggemar internasional.

Sebagai orang yang sudah pernah melihat projek Shenyue sebelumnya, aku bisa lihat pertumbuhan akting yang pesat, dulu sempat mikir agak kaku, tapi disini saat adegan nangis benar-benar bisa membuat penonton ikut terharu. Akting salting atau bahagia bisa bikin kita ikut jatuh cinta. Style bajunya juga bagus-bagus, sesuai dengan karakter Gu Yi 🥰.

Pokoknya aku saranin banget nonton paling ga sekali. Aku sendiri paling suka Eps 23, ga tau udah rewatch berapa kali 🙏🏻🙃
