[Discussion] Scent of A Woman

I saw that it had subs already. I'm going to watch it tomorrow (or more accurately later today).

What else did you think Revy?

Oh, really? I'll check it out tomorrow. :)

I'm liking this drama so far cause of three of the main leads. Lee Dong Wook, Kim Sun Ah, and the doctor. All three are doing an amazing job at playing interesting characters with lots of layers.

And this drama does really well at adding little scenes throughout that are so funny/amusing/cute/touching that they feel like eating a piece of fudge. For example, when Yeon Jae's (KSA) mom comes back home after their argument she coldly asks her daughter how she could still eat before slamming the door to her room. Or at the club when Ji Wook (LDW) was called out by the other female lead and the singer/host boy walks in and Ji Wook just bites on the ice cube. It fit his character perfectly. Also when Yeon Jae visited her father's grave and at first got angry and yelled at him vowing never to come back. Then comes back a little while later with Soju and apologizes for being harsh, cause she's just scared and has no one to lean on. I found that scene especially touching and quite funny. And the directing of the scene when Ji Wook leaves the club and is in his car, that was beautifully done imo.

It was these little scenes, rather than the overall plot, that made me enjoy the first couple of episodes of the show. I hope they keep up this pace and style.

I love how she wants to enjoy the rest of her time, and it's cute how everytime Ji Wook shows up she tries to hide even though there's no way he'd recognize her after she stops wearing her glasses and lets her hair down. Episode 1 wasn't even that boring (IMO), like a lot of starting off episodes are. It has it's serious moments, but it's funny, too (:

I was about to post my initial thoughts about this drama but I don't really need to now. I agree with everything you said. I think I'm going to like this one a lot. Even though I fully admit to being partial to Kim Sun Ah, I still love the whole set up and can't wait to see where the story takes us now that it's burst out of the gate. I have a feeling, it it keeps going in this insightful smart direction it might also break my heart in the end. Knowing that, I'm still going to watch it anyway. So good to see Lee Dong Wook. My Girl was probably the 3rd drama I ever watched and as soon as it was done ...there began my habit of finding other projects he had been in to watch him act more...and see his face.

Just checked - his name is Eom Ki Joon. Whoops, sorry. I'll remember from now on.

Did she call him William because in a cast away scenario of her own, she'd like to have a prince next to her? ;)

Maybe Both! I laughed when she called him that because all I could hear was Tom Hank's voice saying..."Wilson!!! Wilson I'm Sorry!" Very funny!

I just watched the first 2 episodes and I have to say i really liked it too.. I love the cast, cinematography, and use of music. As usual, great acting from Kim Sun Ah and Lee Dong Wook is as handsome as ever.. I can't wait for more episodes..

You know I would usually wait for a drama to finish but seriously this drama is too good. Watch it now!
