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 :)
