Smile When I See You

share time: 2026-02-23 02:31:35

Lin Xiaoman, a stand-up comedy writer, is on the verge of being fired—her jokes have failed to make audiences laugh for three weeks straight. Her life takes a turn when she meets Gu Chuan, an intern doctor who’s a walking “happiness generator”—even the stern security guard at her community smiles at him, and the flower lady always gives him a free rose. After three days of waiting, Xiaoman stops Gu Chuan outside the hospital as he’s heading to a free clinic: “I’ll pay double for your milk tea—just talk to me for ten minutes a day!” But she doesn’t know this “human joy pill” has a secret—he hasn’t truly smiled in five years. When the “person chasing laughter” meets the “person who lost their smile,” a healing journey of mutual redemption about “how to learn to be happy again” begins.
