Another melancholic kdrama series starring Song Seung-heon of Autumn Tale along with Son Ye-jin. This drama is about a heart beating for someone due to the unknown which eventually is answered as love. Ahhhh… the melodrama bites in!
Summer scent is the third installment of Endless Love Series, right next to Winter Sonata. As to why the director chose Song Seung-hun to act as the main lead again since he already acted in Autum Tale (first installment of Endless Love Series), I have no idea but the series was lighter than the preceding installments. Watching the drama was a bit refreshing due to the fact of a new setting, much lighter mood on the actors and an easier plot line.
Main man has a dead girl friend, dead girl friend’s heart was donated to the main woman in which the main man eventually falls for. It’s kind of a far fetched conflict, but whatever suits your taste. We all know that an internal organ has nothing to do with falling in love. If I donate my liver to someone, would my man fall for that someone just because that person had my liver? What if I donated my kidneys, lungs, heart and cornea… would my man fall in love to multiple people because they have a piece of me just because I’m dead and they are living? That’s just plain weird.
Setting my cynical comments aside, I still liked the drama. After bashing it, then I recommend??? WHY???
My reasons are very much quite simple:
Song Seung-heon is hot.
Son Ye-jin’s beauty and acting would take you in.
The story itself (never mind the main conflict) hooks you up with so many thoughts about real life that all you can do about it is relate and continue on watching, regardless if you’ve missed your bed time or not.
