I successfully avoided all spoilers for 100MS and I’m easily shocked, so for the past two episodes I’ve had my mouth opened with incoherent noises coming out. More in the reply, but I just have to mention that Seo In-guk and Jung So-min were great in their respective roles! Like wow!

    The Smile Has Left Your Eyes was definitely an appropriate title since Seo In-guk was really expressive with his eyes. Not knowing anything about the Jdrama, I was very confused at first that the male lead was all sorts of shady and the more we learned of him the more shadier he became. But still, it was interesting. And you wondered why a girl would fall for him, but yet many girls fell for him. When Moo-young and Jin-kang got together and had all those cute moments, it was then that I understood that it could only be her. They had this good energy when they were together, like it felt right, but like it was meant to be and it wasn’t at the same time. The ending was…okay. Like I understand that it is based on an adaptation that had a far darker conclusion, but I am always hoping for a happy conclusion for the main couple and this wasn’t it. I’m mad on Jin-kang’s behalf that no one told her the truth beforehand. If you know her and love her, then you would know that it would hurt her, but she is strong and would be able to get through it. Why in the world did Moo-yeong fall for that lady’s lies? Like he is pretty smart about things and he should’ve asked for proof or gone straight to Jin-gook and confront him again. And why did Jin-gook stab him. Like it would make sense if JK and MY were actually siblings, but they weren’t, so why? These are the thoughts I’m left with now that I’ve had time to think about it. Overall, I did like and enjoy watching the drama. And I am glad I watched it live because to me it is one of those dramas that you can enjoy better if you watch one episode a day of. On that note, thank you TVN for making the episodes one hour long and not over that limit, I greatly appreciated that!

      This is basically the same as how I felt about it. And as for the stabbing I thought that we were finally getting an answer to that when JK asked JG why he stabbed MY? And why didnt he just…apologize? And JG instead of answering this perfectly question apologizes to JK right then. And all I could think was—wait. No, sir. You didn’t stab her. You have tons of things to apologize to her for. Apologize to her for THOSE things. Explain the stabbing reasoning.

      Do you know who I was just really, probably unreasonably angry for the majority of this drama? Tak. Don’t even know why. Actually, yes I do. She knew a lot of this. She could have either been working on JG to tell the truth for years or done it herself.

        Tak made me angry too! Like at first I liked her relationship to the Yoon siblings, but towards the end when she should’ve just sat them down and tell them to talk it out she didn’t do anything. She actually told JK some of JG secrets and then didn’t tell JG until later! Like, woman, you are always up in his business so tell him so they can talk it out right now and not later. One of the things I liked about the drama was the fact that once MY wanted to change for the most part he told JK the truth. Like when he found out his dad was a murderer he initially held back, but then told her anyways. The last couple of episodes lacked serious communication from all parties and that frustrated me so much.

          aww, the finale and that last conversation between JK-MY is perfect….and the way JK searched for the truth and reason behind MY action was so on point. and she knew, like she really knew that it should have been what WZ sister said that made MY killed her.

            Yes! Her intuition was good and she knew MY well enough to know that it must’ve been something big if he really did that. She already knew a lot of the secrets and the ones she learned later she took pretty well, which that is why it is a shame they didn’t tell her earlier.

        Is that because of his own fear (and guilt) over MY and his past ? i thought he told Tak about it. that’s why he said sorry.
        and, yes, Tak, is really useless when she could be so much useful.

          thats what I heard as well. But thats kind of a bogus reason to stab someone who hasn’t done anything (ignoring the manipulative, self destructive, game playing)

          I remember hearing that, but I don’t know…I would probably try to do something good towards the person I hurt instead of stabbing them out of my own guilt you know. Who knows how JG got to that point: I killed his dad—->he is dating my sister—->he won’t stop——>……—–>stab him to fix the problem?
