Thanks to Beanies sharing their love for Jung Kyung Ho I remembered Smile, You. The drama that made a JKH fan out of me. I first saw him in Missing 9 l, which I dropped because it went downhill. But I needed my dose of my newfound crush, so off I went to watch his other works. I tried OMHE but I dropped it too. I like him. I like Jang Nara. But I just didn’t like the drama (he was so swoony though and disguising as a pregnant woman… I can’t even lol).

So I came across Smile, You. I very rarely watch long dramas and much less family-centered dramas. But OH MY GOODNESS! It turned out to be one of my favorite dramas. The parents’ stories were sometimes a bit meh because they acted more immature than their children. But the OTP was incredibly memorable..their chemistry!! I loved how Lee Min Jung played her character. She was so up front about her feelings and although a bit spoiled, she was actually the most mature out of her family (well, after her sister but gosh her older sister was so dreary). Kyung Ho is hilarious beta lead material. The second lead is actually my favorite second lead. He’s not the cookie cut second lead we always see so he was definitely refreshing. And amidst the parents being immature it was nice to watch how they begrudgingly became one big family.

I’d definitely recommend it to any Beanies who haven’t watched it. It has its missteps but it’s an easy watch, funny…..oh and did I mention the chemistry between the OTP? 😍

      I’ve heard great things about Heartless City. I think I’ll finally get to it but after LOM ends. That way I can have more KH for a longer period of time. Oh..and I also want to watch Prison Playbook.

        I’m currently watching LOM and PP but I just can’t get enough of JKH. After PP, I’m gonna watch Heartless City <3

        I haven’t seen Smile, You. I get scared away but long episode counts, but I’m sure it’d be worth the commitment

          It’s definitely worth it! You get to see a relationship starting from zero to well into the future. The different stages are a delight to watch.

          I think a lot of his admirers skirt around Smile, You precisely because of the length. I almost did myself! But I never regretted it!

    This OTP has the best relationship! I’ve been wanting to rewatch for them, but it’s no longer available for me on viki. 😢

      I watched it on ‘another website.’ 😅 But yes! Their relationship was more realistic than many we get in kdramas. They seemed like a real couple! Great, now I feel like rewatching it too!
