Really Funny
I laughed all the way through this drama. I think part of my amusement came from seeing Shin Sung Rok get his butt kicked by love because he was such a villain in "My Love From the Stars" and "The Last Empress". The story is very unique and the characters are even more unique making this a joy to watch . You can't really guess anything that will happen in any episode.Add to that the glamour of modeling and fashion design with very beautiful people and the whole thing really is quite riveting. The ending was a little off but still good and tied up the whole entire series quite comfortably.

Not a perfect drama but is still good nonetheless
It is the type of drama you would watch for relaxation or after a day of pure tiredness, the comedy is not over the top like how some other dramas are and actually lifted my mood up. They realistically highlighted how easily our self-esteem can be damaged by the current standardised beauty expectations in the media and how it is not a piece of cake to just learn to love yourself. I love the actors and actresses in this drama, especially Shin Sung-rok with the way he portrayed a shy yet straightforward man that had a bunch of phobias. The character is iconic and is a whole mood. I really don't know how else I would expect a character like that to be portrayed in the drama, and there was not really a cast member that dragged the drama behind in terms of acting skills. There are some times where I cringed at Min Kyu's parts but I don't know if it's because of his character or acting, I'll need to watch more of his projects to know. The wholesome chemistry between the ml and fl kept me watching this drama and I would love to continue following their future projects!Was this review helpful to you?

I think this is one of the underrated kdramas. It was actually very interesting and entertaining. The story was well-written. It is a fantasy, but I never found it corny or boring - really no boring episodes.It is a great idea that Shin Sung-rok would play this kind of role. He is really a great actor - either a villain or a comedian. I think it was in "The Last Empress" kdrama where I realized that he can also be a comedian, and it's great that months after the end of "The Last Empress", this drama was released. And it was really good.
Kim Min-kyu is so cute and funny. I find him very entertaining. Also, I love how he and Shin Sung-rok fight over Go Won Hee.
The story is really great, and very mature. I love how things ended.

“Perfume” is an excellent production! The drama, although not perfect, is fun, heart wrenching, heartwarming, innovative, surprising, and a real treat to all the senses. The cast was phenomenal bringing their characters to life. Even though Go Won Hee performed very well as Min Ye Rin, the character that rounded the drama and gave depth to the story is really Min Jae Hee, portrayed by the amazing Ha Jae Sook, which is a very talented actress and she gave a stellar performance. Last but not least, Shin Sung Rok. His portrayal of Seo Yi Do as a quirky, sometimes childish and other times a profound and intense man brought the drama to a full circle. The drama is not about fat shaming but it shows the pain and frustration that can potentially leads a person to his/her doom when the people that you love is ashamed of you simply because you’re overweight, and also the inner struggles of this particular person about not been able to come out of the shell that she created for herself to escape the harsh reality of been shunned by your love ones and society. The drama is really romantic but it lacks passion among Seo Yi Do and Min Ye Rin on their romantic scenes. It is all much better when Seo Yi Deo is with Min Jae Hee; there is a sparkle on his eyes and so much tenderness, if only they would have share a kiss, the drama would’ve been perfectly finished showing the real love between Seo Yi Do and Min Jae Hee. Still, a great drama, enjoy it! Was this review helpful to you?
A drama that still has the comforting essence and of k-dramas from back then.
A very lovely drama as lovely as the poster.
Go Won Hee was so lovely and Shin Sung Rok as Seo Yi Do was such a tough looking sweetheart.

I really loved how they focused on the aspect of what weight and what body types meant in the society in and away from the fashion industry and how they translated that would have been more impactful but none the less it was to be applauded for. One thing I disagree with Is the way the main role behaved towards her daughter, it was kind of selfish to be honest and some decisions made were really out of context.
The main leads did their best, and made this drama really really funny. I would love to see them on screen again cause their chemistry was great. Love the storyline and the way it was approached would have been with a little care and the ending shocked me too. if you’re into a romcom kind of self finding and healing genre. WATCH IT!
