There are no outside factors used to make more interesting, prove, or test the strength or trueness of their love. (IMHO, The outside elements wasn't important. Those were there for the reader's benefit ;)) People other than the 2 leads barely even realize they went through such tumulteous storm.
There's also Godfrey Gao & his character Wang Lichuan. Bother actor & character are multi-lingual, multi-cultural which my reader, I think you are as well. Did I mention Godfrey & Lichuan are very hot. ;)
The book that this show was based on is out of this world. It has sadder & more mature tone. The show is fluffier, trying to be funny. Male lead nicer. The side characters in the show are pretty good too. There are flaws in it. Definitely don't miss out on the magic that is Remembering Lichuan. Read the book first if you can.

It is slow but stay with it. I found lots of gold nuggets in this drama!
The "pathetic" quote is my all time favorite line in Kdrama. I always hate how rich male lead would sweep in and "save the world" for the poor female lead. This is like a "reply" to that cliche. Kudos for the writer for coming with that line. Simply! wow wow wow!!
Most people dont like this show. So message me if you do!!

In the beginning -I liked the way female lead took charge of the relationship - crack through the heart of the male lead. It is very cute. He - on the other hand - thinks about thing & events, This is how smart people should behave & live. It is not cliche - but sweet portrayal of how man and woman meet each other & learn each other & care for each other.
Not to mention. Hooot kisses!

We are all empty houses
Waiting for someone
To open the lock and set us free.
One day, my wish comes true.
A man arrives like a ghost
And takes me away from my confinement.
And I follow, without doubts, without reserve,
Until I find my new destiny.
Need I say more? are you going to watch it?

If you have ever feel your heart grew cold by the prevalent hectic modern culture, feeling a little beaten by this life or feeling bored by the seemingly endless cycle of this rat race - then it is time to watch Scent of a Woman.
I literally cried through 10 pcs of tissue. For 12 hours straight. The next morning I was reborn.
Enough said??

Love the costumes!!!! Love the hair styles and the makeup. Sceneries are not perfect but pretty good.
These immortals lived hundred thousand years but some of their antics are a little lame. Wish for a little bit more new interesting ideas in Wuxia world. Oh well, maybe in another decade. But also what can you expect from a "plagiarized" book.
Little disappointed that Yang Mi character who lived over 70,000+ years still wasn't stronger. She cried too too much at the end. I know that this gut wrenching love but still.... she is a queen with magical powers whose family let her get away with everything and yet... her life wasn't very much interesting. Other than those beautiful gowns....
Ye Hua is too hot. Yang Mi is so beautiful, love her acting. I cant get enough of her.

Reason #1
Here's a quote from the show from an Italian philosopher named Gramsci:
"Social class between people didn't exist only in middle ages. Their hegemony is blinding us from the truth."
(Hegemony means dominance of one group on another. I had to look that up.)
Reason #2
So Ji Sub - I can look at him for another 20 episodes.

Male lead is a wonderful role model /perfect man. I love how he takes care of his brother & female lead. Watch it with your boyfriend, brother, male friends! Love the female lead too - so refreshingly different!

Why?
1. The chaebol's money didnt do much for the leading lady. The money only provided a chance for us to enjoy the eye candy of luxurious surroundings. Love Cha Dong Hyeon's house!! His grandma's house is an overkill. Plus do they really need that many servants bowing to them. There's only 2 people living in that house.
Please writers no more of this sh*&. Most rich people are very cheap & greedy - that's how they accumulate that wealth.
2. Leading Man has mucho psycho problems due to previous generation's wrongdoing (psss - money is root for evil.) Leading woman who is a psychiatrist felt sorry for the dude & CHOSE to help him & show him that humble life is the happy life. Yay!
During my 2nd rewatch - Only miss is that leading woman was too docile in the relationship - he always got choose whether to take her or not. Wish there was a little push & pull that Master's Sun does have.
Aside from irresistible good looks - wanted to see more other qualities that makes the leading woman fall for him other than sympathy or childhood connection.
Ji Sung is a great actor - but somehow I am not convince that Cha Do Hyeon really fell for Oh Ri Jin. They should've show more of her abilities/appeal!
That's all folks. I am off to rewatch more Kill Me Heal Me!
