In the beginning, I wasn't really feeling Kim Min Kyu but he definitely won me over. Ha Jae Sook who plays the real Jae Hee also does a nice job. Between the two leads, I really felt the connection and emotions between the two. Go Won Hee was just as good, and I was impressed how despite her age she was able to perfectly embody a woman who is in her 40s. He can range from being cute, enraged, heartfelt, to distraught. I've heard of him before but this was the first thing I've ever seen him in, now I fully understand all the love for him and he's become one of my new favourites. Shin Sung Rok is really the star of this drama, and it would definitely would not be the same without him.

However, I went along with the ride and was entertained throughout the series from start to end. Also if you're looking for some Sismance, you will definitely not find it here lol. At certain times the story can get a little absurd, whether it be the mythology of the magical perfume or the "love triangle". This is not to say this is a super nuanced story and deserves endless critical acclaim. The drama quickly matures and revolves around how a woman is able to grow to find the self-agency to act on her own and personal confidence, not by being skinny but by support and love from others. I have to admit in the first few episodes of this drama it will really seem like that, and it will definitely turn some viewers off into dropping the show but I say give it a chance and you might find yourself with quite a funny and beautiful drama on your hands. Take a chance, and you might be surprised When this drama first started, there was a lot of talk about fat shaming and how larger body sizes were negatively represented in the show. While I can't say it was groundbreaking, a top favorite, or something I'll remember nostalgically, Perfume will be one of those dramas I remember as generating a lot of laughs watching and one that didn't give me much of a headache or worry that it would go horribly wrong. Never a fan of rewatching much, I've already rewatched parts of this drama. That perfume melody will always cause me to listen for thunder lol. Lots of fun tracks in this one and some might go onto some of my playlists. Oh, and you can't forget about Kim Min Kyu. I'll never look at Jo Han Chul the same (I didn't think he had it in him to be that crazy), and was pleasantly surprised with Kim Jin Kyung (as the daughter). I can't point at a bad actor in this drama really. He's hilarious and literally the best part of the drama.Īt first I was hesitant about Go Won Hee but she showed me wrong and this pairing was a lot of fun to watch.

There are few other actors I can imagine playing this role. Let me just say that this drama wouldn't be the same without Shin Sung Rok. Also, the number of times the main character faints or is somehow in terrible danger might be a record. I think the flaws that detract from the story for me are mostly some underwhelming resolution (mostly in character developments) and throughout there were a few character actions that didn't feel inline with the characters. Sure it's not the first of its kind, but it certainly didn't feel like an overused trope (plus hidden identity tag is one of my favorites). Case in point the main storyline "hidden identity". It's got the whole gambit, but it seems to take most of them and add its own spin on them so they don't feel crazy. This story has got comedic romance, potential love triangles, hidden identities, and crazy exes. The first episode might feel a bit wonky, but things get better and it's essential to the whole rest of the plot. Primary issues for me are in this section of rating (the story) but I won't spoil anything (hopefully) so read on.įirst off, don't worry fat shaming isn't really an issue in this drama. I know it's not perfect, but it was just good enough and fun enough I can't fault its faults (if that makes any sense). But I came back to this one religiously and watched it every day a new episode came out. So yeah, I have an issue where I constantly drop dramas if they get the slightest bit boring or do something I don't like. I can't say I loved every bit of it and it wasn't perfect, but the humor and cast really kept this show going for me and I didn't get bored watching it. It was a perfect way to cool down after work.

It can be quite funny and that's what I really liked about this drama. Rewatch Value 8.0 I'm gonna say it write up, this drama was so much fun.
