Should You watch?
This drama has an incredibly captivating storyline that instantly drew me in. The plot is both intriguing and layered, keeping me eagerly engaged with each episode. The female lead’s acting is outstanding, bringing her character to life in a way that feels so real and relatable. She perfectly captures the emotional depth of her role, making it easy to connect with her journey and feel invested in her story.The pacing and development of the storyline are also handled well, adding to the overall immersive experience. Each episode feels like a well-crafted piece, with a balance of drama, suspense, and emotion that keeps the viewer on their toes. The characters are well-developed, and their interactions add depth to the plot, enhancing the series' overall appeal.
I'm looking forward to the remaining episodes and have high hopes that they’ll continue to bring the same joy and excitement. There’s a fascinating journey unfolding here, and I can’t wait to see where it leads. If you enjoy stories with strong characters, emotional connections, and a plot that keeps you guessing, this series is definitely worth watching. It's been a fantastic ride so far, and I’m eagerly anticipating what’s next!

I LOVE every aspect of this series the first episode did not have me interested the first time but as the series goes on it just gets better and better. the acting of the actors is phenomenal and the story by itself is very well put together. i can truly see that the creators put a lot of efforts in making this.Was this review helpful to you?
You gotta stick with it to get to the good stuff!
I'll admit, I'm a big fan of Shen Yue and that's the reason I was excited to watch Smile Code. The clips and trailers make it look like it's a typical rom-com, but it's not. After watching 8 episodes, I can say that It has more depth and heart than almost anything I've seen lately. I wasn't sure of what was happening the 1st two or three shows. Their meeting is not a "meetcute". The lighting is dark and sometimes scary as we get to see what Liang Daiwen dreams about. He suffers from Alexithymia, a condition that renders the person unable to feel or express emotions. This is from a past childhood trauma. In the 1st three episodes we see his trauma, but you can't really tell what it is.GuYi's life is also somewhat dark and scary. She shares a place with 3 others. Things are weird there. By the end of episode 3, it changes. Liang Daiwen moves her into his house for her safety and she gets to see his world. I've only watched 8 episodes, but I can see that there are reactions he has been showing since episode 1, you just don't realize what you are seeing.
This show has 30 episodes. It will take a while to open Liang Daiwen up, but I have no doubt that GuYi is the one to do it! Along the way, we meeting others in both if their lives. Even these don't follow the same rom-com pattern.
For Meteor Garden fans, I can absolutely see a parallel with Liang Dai Wen and Dao Ming Si. Both are lost little boys until Gu Yi and Shancai open them up. I can say this because I am watching Meteor Garden concurrently with Smile Code. I'm doing that because MG is my all time favorite and it's going away from Netflix in 2 weeks. Because I'm watching it for the 6th and last time, I can say they both give me the same feelings.
So, please don't stop watching Smile Code to early because it seems dark, scary and boring at times. If you leave early you will miss some absolutely amazing moments and storylines!!
So watch Smile Code, stick with ut when its tough at the beginning and trust that It will absolutely be well worth your time! Pretty soon, you too will be on the edge of your seat waiting for the next episode, just like the rest of us!

smilecode??
I like Gu Yi's appearance and actions. When she's shy, she's so cute. Especially when she's with Liang Daiwen, they're even more compatible. It's a romance that makes me smile and blush when I watch it. I like their relationship now, where they take care of each other even though the other doesn't see it, like when Liang Daiwen covers Gu Yi with a blanket while he sleeps, or when Gu Yi is careful and watches Liang Daiwen in the middle of the night when he often sleeps and walks out of the room.Was this review helpful to you?
????SmileCode
This series I have been looking forward to for a long time. Whenever the trailer or behind the scenes was released, I watched it over and over again without getting bored. When it was announced that Smilecod would be airing soon, it made me happy and excited. And when I watched the first episode until the latest episode, I can say that I did not regret waiting. I love everything about this series, from the visuals in each scene to the actors who look good together. Now, every day I look forward to each episode that airs.Was this review helpful to you?

LIN YI AND SHEN YUE GREAT ACTOR ACTREES
I really like their roles in this drama, they managed to carry themselves well.I think this is their first drama that is different from previous dramas, and I'm proud of that.
They have very good chemistry in this drama, and this is the first time Shen Yue's hair is long and looks very beautiful

A HIDDEN GEM C-DRAMA
Ah~ this drama is so good. The storyline is enjoyable and had such a fresh idea. The cinematography is film-like, with a retro color theme which is very uncommon in any other c-drama. The two lead actors' chemistry is undeniably amazing. Their acting is superb! The plot is a unique concept in which the male lead suffers from emotional blindness and are loved by a female who performed a stand-up comedian, which is interesting to me. She does everything to make the male lead smile again and help him recover from his emotionless condition. Their love story is impossible to describe. They are sooo adorable and cute. If you haven't watched it yet, don't hesitate and go watch it. I had butterflies in my stomach every time I saw each of their episodes :) Unquestionably, this is a must-see.Was this review helpful to you?
SMILE CODE IS SOOO GOOD
To be honest, I really enjoy this drama. I laughed a lot and had a butterfly in my stomach. I can't stop myself from screaming every time I see their sweetness and cuteness. The drama has a unique plot, not like other typical drama and viewing it makes you feel like you're on Wattpad. The chemistry, plot, OST, cinematography, and casting are all perfect to me. It's definitely worth a watch. I look forward to new episodes everyday. Waiting a day feels like waiting for a year [I'm crying T.T] My heart wants to explode as I wait for the next episode to arrive :)Was this review helpful to you?

A cup of refreshment each morning
minor spoilers below.This show is just... so good! I was excited for it even before it aired, but honestly, I didn't have high hopes since I usually find modern Chinese dramas a bit dull and hard to engage with. I was really hoping this one would keep my attention, and let me tell you—it absolutely has!
Right now, I’m also watching other dramas like Fangs of Fortune, Love Eastern Game Fantasy, and Story of Pearl Girl. They’re released around the same time each morning, but I always find myself watching Smile Code first.
What I really love about this show is how unique it feels compared to others. The male lead (ML) is emotionless due to a mental condition, so he’s cold and blunt, especially at first with the female lead (FL). In most dramas, the ML is cold without any real reason, but here, his struggle to understand emotions is central to who he is. He can feel things; he just doesn’t know how to express them. This is where the FL, who’s all warmth and sunshine, comes in to "heal" him.
From the very first episode, their chemistry is so strong, and by episode twoo or three, she’s already moved in with him, which I love because it means they’ll get even closer. I’m already picturing their dating phase, getting butterflies just thinking about it!
I highly recommend watching Smile Code—you won’t regret it!
