Smiley is a Spanish romantic comedy television series based on the play of the same name by Guillem Clua which stars Carlos Cuevas and Miki Esparbé.

Set in Barcelona, the plot revolves around the love story between two men, bartender Álex[1] and architect Bruno, who meet because of a misdirected voicemail.

They end up talking and decide to meet at the bar where Alex is working, sight unseen.

They argue, but during a drag performance at the bar, Javi (as Keena) apologizes to Vero and wishes her the best in her new job.

Bruno excuses himself and calls his friend (another architect at his firm) named Albert and tells him he thinks Alex is a cliche and an idiot; Albert tells Bruno to leave the bar and join him and his wife, Nuria, at a costume party.

When Bruno prepares to leave, he momentarily fantasizes about Alex's asking him to stay longer, leading to sex.

Alex similarly momentarily fantasizes about Bruno asking to stay for breakfast, leading to sex.

Albert struggles at work, retreats to the bathroom, and begins to cry over his lost youth and commitments he has made.

Alex thinks Bruno deleting the text is a sign he regretted sending it, and decides to reenter the dating app world.

Vero and Patri begin exploring an open relationship, and create a joint dating app profile, looking for a threesome.

Rosa invites Ibra to the family’s Christmas dinner, and Alex is surprised to see him.

Albert reads the letter just as he is about to present a very important project and abruptly leaves the meeting to return to his home to be with his family.

When the caterer of the bar falls ill, Vero and Javi speak with Nuria about replacing him.

A rowdy New Year's Eve party at Bar Bero brings everyone together for a night full of songs, Cava, grapes and - for better or worse - honest conversations.

Ibra tells Bruno that the invitation to the New Year's party was a mass email and not a personal one.

Bruno is very unflattering to Ramon who arrives just in time to hear the insult and leaves.

At the architecture firm, Albert quits, and his father-in-law makes Ramon the new managing partner.

Ibra makes a romantic dinner for Alex and invites him to take a ten-day vacation to Senegal to meet his parents.

The series is an adaptation of the theatrical play Smiley written by Guillem Clua, which was performed onstage by Albert Triola and Ramon Pujol.
