A Heart Captivating Smile (2021)

Stayed for storyline, comic is probably better.... (rating is for storyline)

This was a typical low budget short. Personally, I love short dramas, even the super low quality and horrible acting ones. This drama might be one of the worse I've seen but somehow, I still found enjoyment.

The acting was so bad at times that it was truly entertaining in a comedic way. What saved the drama for me was that the English subs were easy to follow (which can be hit or miss for these type of dramas) and the storyline was interesting. Some things were cliche but overall, the script was quite intriguing and the reason I stayed. The writing in the first 2 episodes were really nice but after that point the story started to decline. Around the 3rd episode is where the story really started to aggravate me especially the writing for the FL. She became almost unbearable by this point. The 4th and final episode was just plain nonsense lol. I don't want to spoil the drama for those willing to give it a shot, but I will say don't expect much "sweet moments" between this couple.

For those confused by the number of episodes there are 4 episodes total, but they are compilations of the episodes which are like 5-7 minutes each. I guess the director expected to have more episodes, but it must not have worked out so we are left on a cliffhanger. There is a comic, and I did read a few pages and I liked it so I may check it out to see if this story is ever finished properly.
