Scent of a Woman posters
by | July 19, 2011 | 68 Comments

Posters are out for SBS’s Scent of a Woman…and there’s a wedding involved?

I presume the wedding must take place rather early, since I doubt they’d shoot an ending scene up front, which I have to admit is one of those story things I’m a sucker for — the first-comes-marriage, then-comes-love trope. I don’t know why. It’s just that it’s the ultimate expression of the proximity-breeds-affection trope (i.e., forced roommies, contract romances), which I also love.

The tagline on the posters is basically the drama’s premise in a nutshell: “Six months left to live. Let’s really live for once!”

The drama, which stars Kim Sun-ah as the time-crunched heroine and Lee Dong-wook as her six-packed rich love interest, premieres this coming weekend. It also stars Eom Ki-joon as the cold doctor whose chill melts, and Seo Hyo-rim as the hero’s possessive chaebol fiancé. Can’t wait to see how they mine the humor in this rom-com.

    Kim sun-ah lost a lot of weight! Anyway, I am looking forward to seeing this, especially because it’s a weekend drama

    • 2.1 Jo

      she put on weight for the Kim Sam Soon drama. So the image that you probably have of her from that drama was actually when she was slightly over-weight.

      • 2.1.1 Blueseeker

        Actually this is not her weight either, she had to lose weight fast for this role. I recently read an article where she asks reporters to stop asking about her weight. Not only does it make her a bit neurotic about it, but because of who she is fans tend to read those stuff and she can’t very well advocate for the unhealthy diet she has done for this role.

  3. Hahahahahah

    Can’t wait for this drama! When will it come out?
    Romantic/comedy?!

  4. oi

    you should see the press con pics (see soompi)
    omg….so cute
    so cute, that I am afraid that the drama will disappoint

  5. lambayyx

    man the only couple i care about is um kijoon & seo hyorim :3 please get together in this drama! they were so cute in worlds within

    • 5.1 yupin

      im more excited to see um kijoon & seo hyorim
      rather than KSA and LDW..^^

  6. Maje

    How can someone get married without love when she has just 6 months to live? that is not possible.

    • 6.1 Cynthia

      Hence the reason for the plethora of silly high-jinxs we’ll be viewing…
      :)

    • 6.2 Linda165

      Did you not see who the groom was?

    • 6.3 bishbash

      dramas are dramas for a reason ;)

  7. SweetiePie54

    As the premiere gets closer, I get more excited for this. Please oh please don’t disappoint show!!

  8. Lorlena

    Weeding does make some sense if they end up like “lets do everything you will never get a chance to do…cuz your dying”. It a good premise for some misunderstandings and silly angst if she finds out she isn’t dying (because its a rom-com) and doesn’t tell him at once…and they are married on the “6 months to live” thingy… Or something like that…i don’t know… I just cant wait for some LDW half naked beach scenes :D

    • 8.1 Lorlena

      hahah i meant *Wedding*

  9. YerVang

    This drama just needs to come out already Lol. Can’t wait

  10. 10 sb

    Eeee! Can’t wait!

  11. 11 Queenie

    i love kim sun ah’s projects…..and lee dong wook is sure good eye candy!! cant wait! something to watch on weekends!! yaaaaaaaaaaay

  12. 12 tin

    I think they are already in love because it would be wrong of her to marry a guy without telling him about her illness. Or she is marrying him just for fun?

  13. 13 roween

    Great news :) , Now I have to find a way to watch it…
    Thanks !!

  14. 14 jcl

    the korean lettering is making me think of “summer scent” hehehe

    The posters look gorgeous and I can feel the chem already! This looks like a perfect summer dramedy- can’t wait. Lee Dong wook is hubba-hubba-handsome and KSA is a wonderful actress. Girl has lost a lot of weight, I didn’t recognize her at first

  15. 15 dare

    the 1st poster looks really nice……CAN’T WAIT!

  16. 16 Sylvia

    … is it me or does Kim Sun Ah look different? Did she lose too much weight, or just run afoul of a photoshop maniac?

  17. 17 adverseffects

    Looks like everything about this show is going to be absolutely gorgeous. I can’t wait to see how it plays out. I’m a sucker for those reverse romances too.

  18. 18 Yuu_chan

    I’m sad…I was really looking foward this drama but I won’t have internet for at least 2 months…. starting from saturday…
    Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!

  19. 19 Bluefyre

    Ahhh! CANNOT wait!! This better be good!
    Lee Dong Wook! Kim Sun-ah! Um Ki Joon!! XXD

    Hyo-rim looks really pretty in the first poster as well. Really hoping this will be good!! Please!!

    Guess this weekend will be a good one! :D

    • 19.1 firestarter

      yeah totally, aside for Hyo-rim. She’s cute and all but her acting… Never got pulled into her pace as I got into her castmates :/

  20. 20 Tarits

    Suna, please put more flesh in your body. You may look gaunt so thin but if you add more flesh, you will look better and sexier! My own opinion only.

    • 20.1 Sylvia

      My opinion too!! I don’t even recognize her in some pics. I thought she was so pretty in Kim Sam Soon and the other things I saw with her – now she looks like someone else entirely. :-/

  21. 21 gingeranna

    Look, they’ve put the english pronunciation of names in the poster and not the korean ones?! I wonder if it’s because it’s more “cool” that way :D

    • 21.1 Bluefyre

      Probably ;)

      I also like the silhouette next to the title. I’m really hoping this will be good and not another Lie to Me!

      *fingers crossed*

  22. 22 haruko

    MY GUESS: This will be like LM Mountgummery’s “Blue Castle”

    Girl thinks she’s dying (doctor mistake), and proposes to Guy, telling him she has 6 months. Guy accepts, they fall in love, he’s torn up she dying, admits love….it’s all a mistake, happy every after :)

  23. 23 appie

    Check out the trailor!

    http://www.viki.com/channels/4041-scent-of-a-woman/videos/46554-trailer-1/1

    I was curious how they’ll portray a tragedy with comedy, it looks light-hearted, omg can’t waiiiiit!

  24. 24 rainey

    That wedding picture is gorgeous!

  25. 25 samgetang

    six-packed rich love interest! LOL!

  26. 26 jastinel

    The press con of this drama yesterday was great and full of fun, Suna looked stunning and LDW his so gorgeous.
    I love the way they interact with each other (LDW and KSA). I bet they had so much fun doing this drama, from the photos that KSA posted in her me2day, they are so playful. The preview was shown in the press con and I was deeply touch by Suna`s acting, the way she cried knowing she is dying.
    I wish all the luck for KSA, LDW, hoping this drama will be a HIT!

  27. 27 So3

    Sun Ah lost a lot of weight for the character (also for her movie earlier this year) – so I don’t think the drama is going for the “wrong diagnosis” route…

    And the 5-minute trailer!! I totally loved it! I love how Cast Away’s Wilson has a guest appearance in it XDD All the personalities of the four leads can be understood from that 5-minute trailer and so I’m quite satisfied with the outcome so far… finger crossed the drama will stay as good as the trailer when it comes out this Saturday!!

    SoW, fighting!!

    • 27.1 mud

      I don’t think it’ll be a wrong diagnosis either. On soompi, it says that she went through a one-meal-a-day diet and two-hours-sleep-a-day regime. Eeks!

  28. 28 ellewu

    omg, skinny KSA is so pretty :) can’t wait to add this to my watch list :)

  29. 29 Mena

    Start already!!!! They look amazing together. My favorite actors together this is just great.

  30. 30 lo

    OMG LEE DONG WOOK<3 OMGOMGOMGOMG YAY!
    and i'm a sucker for these kind of dramas.

  31. 31 Daniela

    “…I’m a sucker for — the first-comes-marriage, then-comes-love trope” Me too! Waiting for the weekend.

  32. 32 Noelle

    God, she is gorgeous. Especially in that wedding dress.

    Nobody kill me but I don’t understand the LDW love. He just ain’t doing. EKJ, however, is adorable and I fell head over hills for him when he was in dream high.

    • 32.1 rockee

      Dude, seriously? LDW = 8 pack hot body Hehe. Jst Kiddin’. Maybe you’ll understand when/after this drama airs? Can’t wait. Trailer looks pretty good.

      • 32.1.1 rockee

        Oops. Got a little excited there. Just 6.

  33. 33 Cam

    Woooot Wooooot! =D

    Ooh, this is a great poster of Scent of a Woman, bravo-bravo! I will be looking forward to this because of my Lee Dong Wook & best comedian gurlz Kim Sun-Ah!!!!!!! =D =D

  34. 34 sulyn

    KSA looks absolutely stunning next to hottie LDW.
    Love the poster – how they look at each other tenderly.
    Just counting the days to watch this drama.
    Scent of a Woman – fighting!
    Good luck KSA
    Good luck LDW

  35. 35 Quinze

    Oh My Goodness that wedding poster looks great!
    I can’t wait for this drama!
    LDW nd KSA are one of my faves!!

  36. 36 wap

    i see a silhouette of a dancing couple, reminds me of al pacino’s scent of a woman :D

  37. 37 varms

    I loooove that wedding picture! They look so loving!!!

    Lee Dong Wook is dashing as always!

    But really? 6 months to live? Drama premises these days… *shakes head*

  38. 38 sarang

    Ugh Lee Dong Wook you gorgeous piece of man meat. Really looking forwad to drama hopefully it doesn’t disappoint!

  39. 39 yupin

    i don’t actually like the female lead in this drama

    she looks too old for this hunky actor.

    i just hope they choose a younger actress like lee da hae or yoon eun hee instead..

    • 39.1 appie

      Aw~ I disagree with you, Kim-sunah is a fabulous actress, there’s this charisma about her that not all actresses could pull it off. In the past she worked with other hunky actors like Hyun Bin and Cha Seung Won etc, she shows off sizzling chemistry with them, made the drama hot!

      And I think using younger actresses will not match the character description, her character suppose to have years of dissatisfaction, hence her earlier ajumma-like appearance.

    • 39.2 sunee

      she looks like she had botox or face lift..LOL
      i cant even recognize her at first..
      those curly hair and huge glasses were really hilarious..she looks like a jerk..
      just not a fan of her since Kim sam soon.

      • 39.2.1 jastinel

        She lost a lot of weight that`s all!

    • 39.3 jastinel

      Why don`t you try to appreciate the drama than the actress involve in the drama, you might like it, sometimes people who doesn`t like Suna end up being a fan of her.
      You have a choice!

  40. 40 Songie

    I am so ready for this! Why must all my anticipated dramas come at the same time of the year?

  41. 41 nanu

    eagerly waiting for this one…………….. hope you will reacp ….

  42. 42 YY

    Don’t really like dying shows but if he keeps swimming in his blue shorts every ep, I might reconsider.

  43. 43 Marie

    why i do have this feeling that KSA will eventually die in the end after her marriage with LDW…just hope…my notion will turn out negative – coz’ i want a happy ending for this main couple

  44. 44 Houstontwin

    Um Ki Joon is such a wonderful actor with great focus and intensity. I would love to see him in a leading role. I am sure that he will be wonderful!

  45. 45 U-Nick Domingo

    my first love lee dong wook oppa finally you’re back…..

  46. 46 sb

    She lost so much weight for this role. :’(

    It’s shocking to see her like that, especially when compared to Samsoon in MNIKSS, where she gained weight.

  47. 47 whateva

  48. 48 Bengal
