EDITORS NOTE: Scent of A Woman–The Wonder of Hope

Well, the last episode of “Scent of A Woman’ is over. I fully expected Yeon Jae to be taken away from her family and loved ones, and us, but to my surprise–the writers decided to leave it in our hands as to the outcome. The ending is fraught not with angst as much as with hope. There is hope, if we choose to embrace it, that somehow a miracle can occur and our hero and heroine can remain together, marry, and raise a family. After all, that was Yeon Jae’s hearts desire from the beginning of this drama.

We all learned early-on that this was not a typical drama. It is adult material; not designed for children, and is really a melodrama in it’s intensity. Our own Kim Junsu played a pivotal role in this drama, and listening to his soothing voice sing “You Are So Beautiful’ made this drama so much more bearable. I was happy to see changes in everyone’s character through the course of this drama, and I rejoiced to see Ji Wook stand up to his responsibilities as a loved one and a son.

Lee Dong Wook played his role as a ‘straight man’ with no exaggerated moves or emotions. He serves as a steady shoulder to rely on and a tender heart that cares deeply for Yeon Jae. He denies her nothing that she asks and only lives for her comfort.

In the course of time, Yeon Jae manages to heal wounds and to build bridges
to support all those around her, including her ‘rival’, Se Kyeong. Seo Hyo Rim (SKKS) is an excellent actress who matures through her own heart struggles through this drama.

This drama is one that will touch lives for years to come, and serves as a reminder to those of us who have lived through the attack of cancer, that grace and hope through God are ever present at our door.

Eom Ki joon in danger of being cut…

Eom Ki-joon in danger of being cut from Scent of a Woman Eom Ki-joon in danger of being cut from Scent of a Woman

Noooooooooo! Bad, bad news. There’s an update on Eom Ki-joon’s car accident, and it looks like his recent DUI does in fact put him in danger of being cut from his current SBS weekend drama Scent of a Woman, starring Kim Sun-ah and Lee Dong-wook. BUT! He’s my favorite character in that dramaaaaaaaaa!

I know, this is not about me. And I KNEW it was a possibility. But waaaaaaaaaaaah.

Eom was in a car accident on July 21st, where he rear-ended a taxi while driving under the influence. Thankfully no one was greatly injured, and now everyone is waiting with bated breath for the court to make a ruling on his case. He apparently was over the legal limit on the test at the scene, but the final word will come from the blood test, currently being analyzed. That’ll determine his culpability, and also his punishment.

SBS has issued a statement that no decision can be made until the court gives its ruling, so they wait, along with everyone else. So what does this mean for the drama? Basically they keep going for the upwards of two weeks until the verdict, after which Eom’s character will either get to continue being awesome crankypants Doctor Poopy-seok, or he gets written out and replaced by some other oncologist who did not poop his pants in grade school. Damnit.

Why, Universe, why?
