(Caution: the cast description by MBC Production may contain spoilers.) Introduction*: Based on a mega popular bestseller of Korea, this drama is somewhat like the drama "Snowman" because of the fact that the step- sister falls in love with her step-brother and vice versa. Hyuk-soo is somewhat a cliched Korean character. Good at fighting and smart, but chooses the wrong path (almost as if he's forced to be a jopok); has morals; is loyal; and most importantly, loves one woman only. Eun-hae's mom and Hyuk-soo's dad, both widowed for a long time, fall in love and decide to get married before Eun-hae's mom dies. While this is going on, Hyuk-soo and Eun-hae meet. Automatically they know they are in love, but since they become family, Hyuk-soo looks at her in a way an older brother should ... or does he? Like the drama "Rustic Period," this drama has many fight scenes. However, this drama is more of a romantic drama than an action piece. * Many thanks to fellow addict David from L.A. for the introduction to this drama. |

| For a summary of this drama by MBC Production, go to: www.mbcpro.co.kr/ CC/synopsis/public_html/english/pg/detail. asp?idx=57. (Caution: the summary may contain spoilers.) Learn Korean: namja (nam-ja) = man/men (Namja can refer to man (singular) or men (plural). Unlike English, the Korean language does not always make clear whether a noun is singular or plural. Sometimes "deul" is added after the noun to clarify that the noun is plural. However, in the absence "deul," you must determine from the context of the wording whether the noun is singular or plural. That is why you can get various translations of the same title. ui = of hyanggi (hyang-gi) = scent/fragrance Eun-hae can also be romanized as Eun-hye. The KBFD translator used the Eun-hae romanization. heuk = black kom = bear heukkom (heuk-kom) = black bear Variations of drama name: Scent of a Man (title used by KBFD-TV) Scent of Men (title used by annyoung.com) Staff: Screenwriter: Go Dong Ryul/Do Hyun Jung Producer: Lee Dae Young For MBC Videos on Demand (VODs) in Korean for this drama, go to: www.imbc. com/broad/tv/drama/fragrance/fragrance_ vod/index.html.
