Normally I don't write a review when there is already 2 posted, but I had to get across a different view point for you folks. "Smile, you" a heartwarming family drama about the ups and downs of dealing with family. It has a few bits of comedy and drama, but its main attraction is how the whole family is front and center.
I didn't like this drama because it was too long, the story line and the dialogue seemed extremely repetitive, and not to mention some of the characters were annoying. Word around the web was the drama was extended and it shows. I got officially bored with this drama around ep22, and literally skipped a few episodes and could totally pick up on what was happening, as if I didn't miss anything at all. After ep 30 it seems as if they are literally dragging out the ending to milk additional episodes out. The arguments seemed the same over and over again, in real life I think it would work better , on screen the repetitiveness became annoying.
I liked all the actors (except the mothers), all of the actors were totally likeable. I also really loved the first episodes, because the initial premise was different from anything else I had seen. In short I feel as if I have wasted hours of my life- but I'm not really too upset. There was a happy ending (very predictable) and a few cute guys.
