Sweetest Smile I've Ever Seen
No, it wasn't perfect, but I liked it. It's one of those university series that shows friends and has drama, and I found it enjoyable. Some people will hate how it got a bit overly dramatic, but I didn't mind that.
13 long (45min) episodes that I binge-watched in two days. I'm not sure why I hadn't seen this series already. The boy who plays Lukchup makes the series worth watching because he is sweet as pie and has the most beautiful smile. Not kidding. It could light up a room. I loved how all his friends tried to protect him.
Some viewers will love it for the cooking--it was a cute premise---the cutie guy cooks food that the picky popular guy actually likes, and the picky popular guy falls in love with cutie, who has had a crush on him for years.
We had the overly done snotty girl wreaking havoc, but no break-up! Yay! I was sure that was going to happen, probably after a dumb misunderstanding, but nope. Some danger, which I really liked. Each guy had a great friend group that really stuck up for each other and eventually formed one big friend group.
On the not-so-good side, this show was a little too thorough about some things for my taste. For instance, they spent two episodes on a club scene. A lot of weird dancing and characters staring at each other from across the room. The expected drunk scene (but no toxic rain scene--yay!) Flashbacks we really didn't need to see. Some characters got more storyline and screen time than I thought necessary.
The couple who we saw the least of (like, I'd forgotten about their initial possible spark, it had been so long ago) had the best kiss out of all the couples, including the leads, who never got past the new stage, even when they were shown five years later at the end. We got a proposal for them before we'd ever seen their lips touch. A weird kind of plot point formed too close to the end to be believable, especially due to the scene where the character laughed evilly. Ram should have been much more proactive when things started happening to Lukchup. He kept thinking it would all go away when he should have gone online and torn up some people's asses.
All in all, this was a long, entertaining watch and enjoyable if you like university stories, a little angst but not to the detriment of the couple, cooking Thai dishes, loyal and over-protective friends, a sweet character paired with a charming, faithful character, a side mf couple, and a little weirdness. I recommend it.
