OMG! Such great news early in the morning - Love the drama to bits! Must have watched each episode at least 4X , first without subs, then 30% sub so on and on...Thanks all subbers!

I think both main leads have done exceptional job in this drama. I love their relationship in this one. Creating destiny tries to build up similar kind of bickering couple but it seems not work smoothly like in this drama. But from 30 eps to 46 eps, just wonder how much they will drag the storyline... The space is fine now...

Omo omo omo!!!

This story has just made my day!!!!!! FINALLY something to look forward to because I am slowly falling into the great depression because YAB is nearing its final curtain call.

Yay!!!!!!

Ugh wow, 50 episodes. I don't have the energy for that!

wow that's good...love 2 hear that.....thks....4 ur infor....

I agree the drama is great but if they extend it they just drag the storyline and it becomes boring. 30 would have been just right . I like dramas to have between 16 to 24 episodes max after they just dragggg

I hope too that it won't get draggy.... I really love this drama... ^^

WOW! 16 episodes is a huge extension! At least they've got plenty of time to add the episodes...

I read about this earlier in the Soompi thread and really my thought is this could very well be a double edged sword. Of course it's great if the story holds on but such a big extension might signal excessive plot dragging. I don't mind being clear and frank that the biggest reason I'm watching this so fervently is because of Hyun-soo and Jung-in (and now a bit of Han-se...oh admit it..he's getting hilarious!) If the extension means more air time for the older generation and such, then I can't say I'm going to be too interested.

Let's just hope things stay tight and awesome until February!

I am excited because there will be more Hyun-soo & Jung-in. But I'm worried that it might get draggy later on. Though, I've been impressed by the consistent pacing in the last couple of episodes and hope that it can till the end of the series. Also, I did think with the multiple story lines, that 30 might have been too short.

After today's episode YAB and the preview for the next episode---I can't take it anymore. There is a limit on illogical and there's also a limit on how much you can drag out a plot line/certain characters' roles. It's still cute and wonderful, but I'm at my wits' end! In contrast, I've been finding Smile, You so refreshing. The love story moves forward in a logical, realistic way and it's avoiding (so far) the typical melodrama cliches. I know some will arise eventually, but so far the relationships and how they unfold is the main draw (especially Soo-in couple!). For a character who generally would be a second lead in a typical kdrama, Hyun-soo is very open about his feelings but he knows when to move on even though it's hard. And even the (supposedly evil, manipulating second lead) Lee Han-se, provides comical relief and moves along the story without us being too annoyed. Smile, You has become my number one kdrama for this season. So definitely more yay than nay for the extension.

omo!!! i just hope they don't drag & stretch the story out so thinly that i'll stop watching... i thought that 30 episodes would be enough but i guess SBS thought differently...
but yay more of sooin couple!!! my main reason of watching this show is to see how the story about this adorable couple unfolds... i hope we get to see them get married and seeing them with kids would be such an extra bonus!!!

Whoa...46 episodes? That's a lot. I started watching SMILE a couple of days ago and I think it's funny. However, I think the extra 16 episodes is stretching it way too far.

I'm happy that the show is enjoying healthy ratings and gaining more attention. I really really hope that this is the break that Jung Kyung Ho needs. He's such an underrated actor who really has a knack for comedy. Also, it's a fun family show and Jung-in and Hyun-soo's relationship is a breath of fresh air. Having said that, the show didn't quite pick up until episode 6 and the extension is not a small one, not by 4 episodes but 16. While there are definitely a lot of stories that can still be covered, I'm afraid that they'll drag out the Han-se vs. Hyun-soo and Jung-in vs. Jung-Kyung storylines for ratings sake. This will probably also mean more of Jung-kil's selfish and immature antics. However the optimist in me hopes they use the 16 episodes wisely and develop the rest of the Seo family into likeable relatable people.

When I first heard the news a bubble of happiness rose up - more eps = more SooIn aka Jung-Ho. However, experience has concluded that extensions rarely add value to a K production, so I do have concerns.

I never expected this drama to be as good as it is, and the pairing? SooIn is going down in my list (which is really short compared to the way-too-many Kdramas I've watched) as one of the best pairings I've seen. Even if the drama does end up dragging, I don't think it will affect the amazing chemistry of SooIn. lols. It's not like it'll the first time I adored a pairing, but found the drama itself mediocre.

Also being an optimist, I hope soyjoy your right, and that Writer Moon had enough material for a 50 ep drama to begin with and is just slowly ironing out the details. Hope SY production continues with it's creativity and refreshing character protrayals. Smilers, fighting!

YESSSSSSS!!!!

yay yay yay yay!!!!!!

^_^ i am so super excited!! when i realized that we were more than half way done (when it was slated to end with 30 episodes), i got so sad that i had only so many episodes left.

i just hope the writer does us (the viewers) justice by keeping the story as entertaining as it has been thus far!!

here's to hoping for the best for Smile, You!!

this is slightly good news for me since i thought it was supposed to be 50. but now, it's 4 episodes shorter! yay!...sort of.... ^ ^

it's been 16 episodes and the story seems to have just begun for our favorite couple so i have hope in this drama. oh! there's more to jungin's backstory to come? i'm excited about that!

WTh man....why do they always do that.. Making the series longer does not mean it's better. IT gets draggy and looses "it" factor. rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr how annoying with these tv stations

It is not an exciting drama, Oh my !! it is going to be a drag.

Woo hoo!! ~~

yay!! that made my day..just love the character developments..

i love the drama and SooIn but I have mixed emotions about this news. happy 'coz more SooIn but...

i guess there are more stories to cover that's why it got extended. i'll try to be optimistic about this :)

btw, thanks soyjoy and dw4p! you guys are doing a wonderful job recapping this drama. 'looking forward to your next recap :)

Awesome...more Hyun-soo & Jung-in to see..I am so hook on this drama..So refreshing, funny, and cute all in one...its official my drug now..hahahahha

Great News! I also thought it was 50 episodes, so 46 is okay with me! Love all the characters, the writing, everything! Keep up the good work Smile, You team, and thanks for all the recaps! Glad you'll still be here for us when you-know-what-other-drama ends...

I'm glad it'll be 4 episodes shorter than what we had originally thought - 50. I love this drama but the longer dramas are, the more they manipulate the viewers.

And I really hope they end with a wedding scene!!!

omg yes!!! I am completely in love with this drama! The main couple have such great chemistry and so much fun to watch XD I hope it doesn't drag the story out but I'm also really happy about this =]

I'm also a bit wary of the Episode extension since I feel that the 30 eps is okay . I really hope it doesn't drag somewhere along the next episodes, I'm now catching up on the drama and even though the story is just simple, the writer made it really feel at home with it, I guess that's the drama's charm and I applaud the whole production team for doing it again, I really enjoyed Last Scandal and watching Smile, You really makes me smile ^^

46 episodes, will they have babies?

its good that the episodes are extended. love this drama!

I haven't enjoyed a drama this much in a long time. I am not worried about the extension because the lead couple's chemistry is amazing and I have a feeling we are going to be seeing more of them. I cannot believe the director and the writer won't want to capitalize on their lead couple's terrific timing and endearing chemistry.

I don't think i have a very unique opinion from anyone else (ie: excited about more Soo-In love, but wary of more boring/annoying elder generation drama).

So I'd just like to add my "SSQQQUUUUUUEEE" to everyone else's. ^^ I'll try to be an optimist and hope that the ending episodes consist mostly of endearing Soo-In moments...and their SungJoon cupid. And maybe their interactions with the mother. I love those 3 together. ^^ They're like the comic tri-fecta :)

@34
I also love HS/JI with the brother. The brother seems like a really fun person to hang out tho' maybe not reliable.

@ pabo ceo reom Agreed re: Han-se getting ridiculous. He's been getting really good recently, especially in the scene with the snack truck with Hyun Soo!

I'm simultaneously delighted and worried - Smile, You's been really good and been getting better with each episode so far, and the pacing's been fabulous (the leads really get time to work the whole relationship development thing with each other) so if it continues the way it does, then that would be great - but like everyone else here, I'm rather worried it will lose its rhythm mid-way. Let's all cross our fingers and hope not!

am not sure if this is a good news..
am still in epi 5
epi 1 and 2 were ok.. 3 and 4 was good..
but is the drama that good for me to be extended.. i will have to say no..

it's not as exciting and funny as YAB, but am loving the leads :)..
so if not for them i wouldn't be continuing watching it.

I actually clapped. Yay. I thought it was 50 orginally so 46 is great. I hope I don't regret it later. KEKEKE. This would be the longest episode drama I ever watch. I came on to check YAB but to my pleasure surprise I saw Smile,You news.

Thank you soyjoy.

Hooray! I've been really enjoying Smile, You. So happy it will be extended. I haven't had enough of HyunSoo JuIn romance yet. These 2 are so good to watch on screen. of course the other characters add spice to the drama. Some comments are saying that we might even see HyunSoo & JuIn having kids. Not a bad idea! Would HS finalise his choice in the next episode? Am betting for JI. I can imagine some protests in both families. Thank you so much for your recaps. I really enjoy it.

That's great news..this drama is so entertaining..humorous, touching, and cutesy.. hopeful they want make it dragging or cliche w/ 46 episode..with all the subplot, I am most suprise that Jung-in has a backstory...curious to what her backstory is...hearing that she has a backstory make me curious about her birth (the only thing that is popping my head, lol), seeing how her personality doesn't match quite well with her family. Her personality isn't much like her mom or dad. To me, JK is more like her mom...the demure, soft spoken person..and see that there is tension between her and JK just make me wonder if it is because she isn't the actual daughter...i mean, if that is the case..I can see why at times, there is tension b/w the two..if JK parent treat Jung-in way better than their actual daughter...just too curious w/ the subplot...I want to know Ji-soo subplot too..at time I wonder if she is a gangster girl, at a time, I think maybe is a host or something...want to see how her development w/ SJ is going to go..hopefully it will be as cute as JI & HS in their own way...hehehehe

I just started watching Smile and I'm already hooked after only seeing the first two episodes. Whether or not the extension is a good thing, remains to be seen. Although it is nice to know that the drama is good enough to warrant an extension. It gives me hope that Smile will be able to hold my attention and continue to be entertaining the further into it I get.

awesome.. i like this drama! its better than a lot of the dramas tat i've seen.. its not the greatest, but its good.. a lot of pplz can relate to this drama.. lol.. cuz shoo i know i do.. me and my sister is like water and oil, close enough like jung in and her sister's relationship... we have our differentiate, but remain close enough at times..

I can't concentrate on reading YAB because I'm giggling over Smile,You :)

Haven't been able to watch anything else since ep.16 :)

That's it I need to watch it again. :)

I love this! Hyun-soo and Jung-in make me giddy, they are just SO cute. I'm tickled to death over this extension and I hope it stays just as great as it is now, always leaving me wanting more at the end of every episode.

@all4movies , i was thinking the same thing, are they gonna get married and have babies. I hope it don't get drag on, i am so loving the pace .I am really not excited about the extension thing no matter how much i love it.

This is officially going to be the longest drama I have ever watched and I'm excited for every episode!

I love this drama...after YB, I will certainly tune into this :)

wow great new i just love this drama so 16 more ep just made mine day ya ya

This is such a good news.

I was kind of disappointed & sad when i found out that it was 30 episodes only just few days ago.

Love both Hyun-soo and Jung-in. Hopefully they will join hand again in the up coming drama.

The drama makes me smile everyday.

I am now hoping that it can be extended to 100 episodes or may be "SMILE, YOU II" Hehe!

This is my NO. 1 drama! Thanks to the director, the screenwriter, the cast & all involved in this drama. Keep up the good work!

Such good news!!! Smile, You...sort of grows on you & I'm soooo thrilled w/ Hyun Soo & Jung In's romantic development!!! It's getting better w/ each episode...thanks to the great writing & pacing, I never get bored!!! Hope this wholesome drama gets higher ratings & continue to give us, Drama Addicts, a satisfying & roller-coaster ride..all the way to its 46 episode run!!! LOVE IT!!!
