So I started watching The Smile Has Left Your Eyes on a whim tonight and from what I’ve heard about the show, I’m either depressed or I hate myself 🙃

    Or you love SIG.

      SIG is amazing in it. Truly extraordinary. And from a production standpoint it’s a great show. It’s just the script that’s terrible.

        Is he ever bad in anything? 🙂 But just for curiosity, why is it terrible? I think it’s the first ep I liked in a long time, despite the FL being too much of a Candy maybe, is that your reason? I like knowing why people dislike something I like kkk.

          He’s never really bad at anything but he’s especially good at being bad.

            100% one of the best at being bad which is why I’m watching it. I saw him in the first two episodes of Doom at your Service and that pushed me over the edge. Had to get my fix 😁

            Yup @loisom I’m also liking him a lot in Doom. But as @leetennant said he’s basically been his best in TSHLYE even if I just watched a few episodes, I haven’t seen much of an equally powerful performance in dramaland.

          SIG is always excellent. Always. But in this he was on another level. It was a transcendent performance. It’s worth enduring the show for him alone. Like watching Shin Hye-sun in Angel’s Last Mission.

          The script is a trainwreck because they took a Japanese script, took out its most important element, and then replaced it with something general and banal because they thought it would better suit he Korean sensibility. As such, the back half is a nonsensical road to nowhere.

          I can’t say anymore because I’m already bordering on spoiling it.

            I did not know it was a remake! I’ll try to find the original but maybe you can explain your idea better on the recap with a nice warning before anyone gets too much information. Besides, if you’ve been through Habaek and some of Born Again, this will be easy, I think. 😛

            I don’t think it was recapped. I did review it at the time although I now realise I opted for a spoiler free review.

            I might find some time to review it on my blog and I’ll let you know when it’s up. That way people can choose to read it if they want and there won’t be spoilers on the site.

            Forget what I said, I thought you were talking about the first episodes of this new show kkk which was on another thread. Sorry, silly mistake. Yes about Million Stars, he was perfect in it and the writers turned the script into stupidity but it was still worth it because of his performance.

            I think I’m still invested in this blog post now though…
            But if you’re talking about Doom, then I agree it was a very enjoyable first week.

            Your reply gives me such joy because you have such great taste 😊. Shin Hye Sun is one of the few actresses I would endure a show for.

        Yesss! I stopped where “you know what😒” poked “you know who🥺” on the streets to come here and see if I’m the only confused person. Like what was the reason?? He’s being super hypocritical and possessive. And what’s with all the childhood secrets? It’s been twelve episodes, I would assume it’s past time the show lets me in on some of them. 🙄

      🤔 very, very plausible. He was really cute in Shopping Prince which was the first thing I saw him in, then I watched Doom and I was pushed into the SIG rabbit hole. I’m honestly not sure if he’s hot or I’m just lonely. Probably both tbh 😆
