Smile Code as Happy Pill

The story was beautifully written from start to finish; I couldn't find any scenes that were off-key. It was delivered exceptionally well by the actors, and their emotions were top-tier. I love everything about this drama. Someone may find it odd for me to say it, but these are my thoughts, and this kind of story is my cup of tea. I love how humorous and emotionally driven the story is. And most importantly, the OST—my god, it is so good to the ears! I love the beat so much. Highly recommended to anyone who gets songs stuck in their head (LSS).
​The Cast
​The Main Cast
​First of all, I love the way Shen Yue acts; it was very natural. Maybe I'm biased because no matter how well the plot is written, if the actors aren't really my vibe, I can't survive the drama—that's my preference, and yours is basically yours, so there's that. As she portrayed Gu Yi, I loved it so much; the way she acted, her emotions, were excellent. Every time she smiled, I smiled—that's how her actions resonated with the audience. When she was sad and forlorn, you'd feel it too. The way she delivered her jokes to Ounce was very funny, and you'll find yourself smiling throughout her performance.
​And then, there's Lin Yi as Liang Daiwen, and wow, what a man. This is my first time watching him, and I love the way he acts too; it was natural, and he's very handsome. I like how he gradually evolved to be a proper human, transitioning from being robot-like to feeling things human do in daily life—that was the best transition his character went through. They both perfectly fit their roles, and their chemistry is thousands of percent top-tier. I couldn't ask for more; they're perfect for the role.
​The Supporting Characters
​They're as vital as the main cast, and I was also rooting for them in every episode. The Ounce and Nextmonday respective casts were lovable too. The touch of comedic and emotional drama is so good; it balances the viewers' feelings. As for me, I'm pretty much sold on the comedic banters between the mains and the supporting cast. It will keep you entertained. Although it's not all pure serotonin, the emotional aspect also fueled you as a viewer. You'll wonder how the characters dealt with their past traumas and current situations, how they coped with the loss of someone important, someone they loved and cherished. And the plot caters to it beautifully. There were no loopholes or unanswered questions left loose.
​Conclusion
​I love how the characters gave justice to their respective roles; it was all fully packed. See it for yourselves if this is your liking. Nonetheless, for me, this drama deserves higher ratings because it made the viewers happy, and you'll also get to learn a lot of lessons along the scenes, be it coping with past traumas, learning to accept the reality that losing someone is inevitable, having a reliable partner in every aspect, being independent, standing by your own beliefs, and loving someone with all your heart without losing yourself along the way.
​Smile Code has its own perks and is highly recommended to someone who loves comedy and a hundred-percent touch of romance. It's worth the time spent. A drama that's dear to my heart. My Robotcat couple! Kudos to all. 💯🎬💕
