Please Smile (2023)

It's a waste of time!

I started watching this drama because I liked the FL in 'provoke' drama, but this felt like a downgrade! could be this one was filmed earlier but aired later? idk..

The cast were okay. the leads were good looking, and I think they did their best with what they were given to work with.
The chemistry was lacking. The romance faded away in the background while they tried focusing on FL's friendship, her mom and workplace!

The comedy in the first few episodes was so on point and it was funny, but then after few episodes, the comedy was gone.
I felt like they didn't know what they were gonna be! romantic comedy? just romance? slice of life? workplace drama?
the problem was that everything felt so disjoint!
I think they tried to do too much with the time they had and in the end all aspects of it were lacking...

The dubbing is horrendous in this drama but I think it suffered mostly from the editing! it was way too sloppy!

I only finished it because of short duration and handsome leads..
if you are here for either of the leads go ahead and watch it otherwise it's not worth the time.
