Sometimes all She Leaves Behind is Her Scent...

      Working at a travel agency should be glamorous. But not for Lee Yeon Jae (Kim Sun Ah). She is yelled at, overworked, and she has been inappropriately touched by her Boss (Ewww...). Disappointed in all that life has had to offer Lee Yeon Jae she trudges along with little hope of happiness.

Her Boss's Mistreatment

     Her co-workers use and degrade her and she stays quiet. She believes that she is being a "good" person by taking the abuse; just keeping her head down and trying to get by. Her life is no fairy tale and she is no princess.

I am not a welcome mat

     Lee Yeon Jae meets her longtime (if not clearly remembered) friend Chae Eun Suk (Uhm Ki Joon) who is a doctor at her local hospital. He desperately needs to talk to her (as if her life wasn't bad enough) to explain to Lee Yeon Jae that she has Gallbladder Cancer.

The truth will set you free

     Devastated with the news that she only has six months to live Lee Yeon Jae starts questioning the way she has been living her life. She finds the strength to tell her Boss off, to put her co-worker's in their place, and to finally believe that she is the Heroine of her own story!

The Makeover

     As Lee Yeon Jae reinvents herself (and gets a little male attention...) she decides to go on a vacation (probably her last one) since she had never taken one in the ten years that she worked for a travel agency. She visits Jeju Island looking for adventure...and a piece of paradise.

The Meet Cute

     Fate is a funny thing. While Lee Yeon Jae finds fun in life (although her time is running out). Kang Ji Wook (Lee Dong Wook) shuffles through like a bratty child suffering to do his homework. They find in each other strengths and kindness (with a little heartache) and the will to be better for each other. 

     It is incredibly interesting the chemistry that these two characters have with each other. Scent of a Woman is filled with a special passion that Writer No Ji-Sul and Director Park Hyung-Ki put on the screen and it is breathtaking (especially when they dance! Yum!).
