Smile, You

(this is more of a nostalgic review)

I've watched this in 2009 during one of the worst times of my life. What I needed the most was a family...friends...this show is something i've watched a ton of time.

I remember it well...it was around novemberish all the way into the end of winter and it was snowing. It's a show that gives you the feeling of friends waiting for you... it doesn't matter your background you will be accepted and treated like family. This show taught me family values ironically. And it got me through hard times...is it a good drama on its own? Nah...compared to today not so much, but historically....maybe if u like this soap-ish kind of thing.

It gets more serious later on, but it isn't great.

I wish this was airred in my country back then. The series was good for a gathered-family dinner to watch (My family used to be like that in the past 😥, now we're separate) All Smile, you got me into a roller coaster which is happy, sad, hurtful and compassionate, respectful though it's a bit heavy-drama to handle. Love the main couple since they're so lovely, compatible, mature, humorous and well-behave. They have good manner to elder, also consistent, and warm-hearted which taught me a lot, so different from any dramas back then. Frankly say, this is on top best drama I've ever enjoyed.

The premise is funny with the rich family moving in with the help. The charms of Lee Min Jung sustain this series but it still is overlong. Jung Kyung Ho is super skinny here. The mother in law disapproval thing is tiresome. The side romance of the brother is cute.

Not a must watch.
