Real Smile is one of Netflix’s most successful drama series, reaching the platform’s global top 10 in several countries. On August 6, 2023, Sorriso Real had its last episode available, leaving fans around the world waiting for a possible renewal.
Will Real Smile have a new season?
Originally created and broadcast by South Korean broadcaster TVING, Real Smile is not a Netflix production, it is only rebroadcast by the video streaming giant. This can make it difficult to renew production. Since Sorriso Real faithfully follows the dramatic structure of most fictions, with 16 episodes and following a tightly closed plot, without many gaps for possible story extensions, this ends up affecting the possibility of a future renewal of the series.
It is worth noting that TVING is a broadcaster that does not have the habit of renewing its productions for other seasons, such as the series ‘Tudo Bem Não Ser Normal’ and ‘Hotel Del Luna’, both of which are also available on Netflix. Even so, fans may still have some hope as other productions surprised viewers by winning multiple seasons as An Extraordinary Lawyer and Sweet Home confirmed the continuation of their stories.
What does the specialized press say?
The American magazine Ready Steady Cut has published a review in which it believes that there may not be a renewal of Sorriso Real due to the many stereotypical references to the culture of other countries, such as the scene that portrayed a character of Arab origin with a certain tone from the humor.
Criticized on social networks by many viewers who watched the series, the Arab scene caused the production to lose audience in some countries, which culminated in a low rating of the series on specialized sites such as IMDB, causing ‘Real Smile’ to reach only 3.2 points and only 19% approval on Rotten Tomatoes.
True smile, the story
Royal Smile (The King The Land, in English) is a South Korean romantic comedy series that tells the story of Goo Won (Lee Jun-Ho), a rich and arrogant heir, and Cheon Sa-rang (YoonA), an employee of the the Hotel King, known for its honest smile. Won is a cold and calculating businessman who believes a smile is a sign of deception. Sa-rang, on the other hand, is a cheerful and outgoing woman who believes that a smile is a way to express happiness.
The series explores themes such as the power of love, the importance of friendship and the need to be faithful to others.
