Wen Xiang Xie (2022)

I started watching this drama out of boredom with zero expectations but it turned out to be interesting.
yes, it does have some cliche but it's an enjoyable watch.
It has a simple story line. you'd enjoy watching this drama even without reading the synopsis! It's fun to understand everything and all introduction through the drama itself.

cast are good-looking and their acting is okay. some better than others.
there were some awkwardness in some scenes and some cringe moments here and there but it didn't get annoying.
Fang Yu Ren is the comic relief, (he isn't a typical useless dumb character though) I didn't like the second couple as much as the leads but they aren't bad.

the costumes were not bad, I liked FL's costume mostly, the make up was a bit lazily done specially in last episode (you'll know on which character when you watch! rest assured it's not the leads).

one of the things I liked in this drama is that the ML isn't totally weak or totally strong! he is somewhat in middle! same goes for FL. they both have their moments to shine and protect one another.

my only complaint is the last episode! (I'm not talking about it being sad or happy, it was just confusing).
I might have given this a 8.5 or 9 if it wasn't for the ending.

Anyway I still recommend it. it's enjoyable, leads have chemistry and having only 14 episodes, it's short compared to other cdramas.

Lighthearted fluffy romance with a fantasy theme

Warning: Contains a few spoilers.....
This is a wonderful, funny show. The storyline revolving around scents is new and interesting. The love between the main leads becomes epic. It does help that it’s real kisses (lots of them) and not those fishy pecks on the lips, LOL.
One of my favorite characters is actually ML's younger brother, “Yu Ren”. He is so sweet, innocent and full of love. The way he helped his older brother with the unwanted love interest was brilliant. Every time he was in the picture I couldn’t help smiling - OMG, he was so cute. By the way, the BL-vibe is downright hilarious. I honestly couldn't help falling a bit in love with that character.
Character wise I loved that the two brothers had a good relationship - unlike so many dramas these days. I also loved the sacrifice the FLs two assistants (shopkeepers) made to give FL and ML a chance to fight for their love. It was extremely touching.
So, if you love a lighthearted, very sweet and funny romantic comedy - with a touch of drama before a very happy ending - this is a “Must watch”.
