you could create a venn diagram between alex and bruno from smiley and buck and tommy from 911 and there would be an insane amount of overlaps

#I yapped about this show to my friends #and I love finding connections between pieces of media #and it's so funny how similar these two couples are #the main difference I guess would be intentionality but besides that it's so cool to see the similarities #bucktommy #tevan #911 #alex smiley #bruno smiley #smiley #smiley 2022

Smiley (2022) has one of three best meet-cutes of queer romcoms. Bartender Álex is trying to call his boyfriend breaking up with him because he feels like he's being ghosted which really hurt him because he thought they were great together. It's a SUPER long romantic pinning message about the kind of guy he really wants to be with. But he's calling from the gay bar's landline and misdials. Instead architect Bruno gets it. After debating what to do, Bruno decides to call back and tell Álex he had the wrong number. They getting to talking and decide to get drinks together at the bar.

The series is super cute while also really digging into what makes a healthy relationship and why relationships fail and queer found family relationships and old heartbreak and how to sort out what you think you do or don't want from what you need. Highly recommend it. The original Spanish is great, but the English dub is also pretty good.

The show has its really good moments, but somehow it felt a bit soulless to me despite the effort. I also felt there was some unnecessary content and the dialogues/scenes sometimes seemed a bit vulgar to me. On the other hand, those good moments it had managed to get to me and move me in an emotional sense. I like the fact that I watched it now, as I think it's best to watch it around the holidays season due to its vibe and motifs.

The dynamics between the characters of Bruno and Alex reminds me of Bros because there again we have the jock x nerd relationship at the core of the movie and they both exhibit similar characteristics. The jock dude, in this case Alex, is more extroverted, fun, loves the gym (obviously) and is more relaxed and open, while on the other hand we have Bruno who is more of an introvert, an intellectual, shy and can come across as an opinionated snob at times.

I couldn't really understand the behaviour of characters at times, i.e. why Bruno insisted that he wasn't attractive when that's not the case at all, or why they constantly played mind games with each other instead of just taking it more slowly and being more honest? When it comes to other characters, I really really liked the Ramon dude and I wish the show gave him a more complete and satisfactory ending, or just elaborated more about what happened after as some side characters just don't get any kind of resolution to their situation.

On the other hand (and I'm probably in the minority here), a lot of thought has been put into the Ramiro character, for whom I just didn't care that much and found it an unnecessary addition to an already complicated bundle of relationships we had going there. Same thing for the Albert x Nuria story. It just seemed too much at once for me, the show only has 1 season and 8 episodes. I guess I just prefer a slower, more gradual approach.

Rating: 4/5
