Slow start but COMPLETE end ❤️ ?

10/10 would recommend to watch and would definitely rewatch with my friends. This was actually such a breath of fresh air. I really liked how they ended it which is why I rated it so high if it had stayed the way that it was throughout to the end I would not have rated it high but the end is so good and so justified that I rated it high.

I was really frustrated that they had a concept of being able to see smells and they used it a limited amount of times when it could have been used all throughout and shown better. I felt like they kind of dropped the ball on thatThey only used it when it was convenient for them and I don't think it was well written for the kind of concept that I thought I was going to get. The "use" of her gift felt pretty lazy; they used it to move the story along and in some spaces when it should have been used and was necessary they did not add it. I just felt like they could have done so much better with that concept it's such an original concept.

The OST did not disappoint. The acting in some spaces felt like it could have been better executed with a couple more takes. And the production and editing didn't age well. I was expecting way better for 2015. These are the little nitpicky things that would have dropped my ratings if the ending wasn't so cute and complete.

until about episode 6 I felt like it was so slow to show you the romantic parts but then as you progressed on it actually gets so much better which is why I stuck with it. I loved how they show the mundane and how they show you the thriller part in episode 16 instead of just doing 15 and then 16 being the happy episode. IT felt well thought out and like the happy ending was not an afterthought.
