Smile to Life

When a woman with incurable disease meets her teen crush and idol, will they realize that they complete each other?

This drama follows the life of a woman who is diagnosed with ALS which is an incurable disease and realizes that she doesn’t have too long to live. An accident, meeting with her teen crush and idol, sparks the beginning of a love story that she never knew she needed. As she struggles to hide her illness from her loved ones, and complete her wishes, she falls in love. The rest of the story follows their journey in love and how having a supporting family and partner is the most important thing in the world.

This story kept me seated till the very end because I wanted to know how the love story would end. Even though the plot wasn’t anything too new, but I don’t know why I still loved the drama a lot. Maybe the emotions of a dying woman trying to stay true to herself was touching or maybe the love of a man who knew their love was doomed and still refused to give up on her, was absolutely delightful to watch. I really cant say what clicked with me. But, I still loved it. The ending is open-ended though, in the sense that you can interpret it either ways. Either think that she completed all her wishes and is in a better place, or think that she is alive and well. So, if a little ambiguous end does not bother you too much, then go watch this story. It is a wonderful watch inspite of having nothing new in the plot.
