Timeless masterpiece
I seriously loved this.I'm usually prone to scene skipping if I find a drama predictable or boring, but this drama OMG! I loved every bit of it! I was completely hooked.
I LOVED the "old" drama vibes I got from it so much. Adored how the director paid attention to the little details (like the makeup and the girl's painted nails). I really liked the filters that were used that made it look like a 2015 historical drama, seriously it was really suitable and I honestly really liked it.
The Fl's makeup should have a whole fandom on its own. It was simply magnificent. It looked soft, feminine and I really appreciate how it could easily be straight out of a reimagined period painting.
I personally really liked the plot and the ending. I consider it to be very fitting and the whole ordeal seems very poetic to me

To me HRZ existed bc of the Fl's need to have someone whom she can completely trust, someone who will always do what she wants and who won't threaten her comfort zone, who'll never make her challenge herself and face her fears. So she created him in her head bc with him she can run away from everything she's really scared of, which is sincerely loving someone else , bc then she'll feel vulnerable as he'll be able to hurt her ( e.g. by betraying her or something). At the end she chose the real world and so she chose to bravely face evey challenge, which to me is the ultimate character development and I applaud it.
The cast's chemistry was amazing. Especially between the Fl and the ml. At numerous scenes I wanted to shout JUST KISS ALREADY. Just my personal opinion here but a kiss would make certain scenes shine even more. In many scenes you could literally see the poor ml fight for his life so as not to kiss her. Would love to see them in another drama together.
The chemistry between Fl and HRZ was really great as well. You could feel how comfortable she was around him. I kinda shipped them together but I prefer the FL-ML pairing more. I would love to see them in another drama together as well.

jaw dropped
It’s 6am I’m so sleep deprived cause of binging this drama, i was HOOKED the way I didn’t expect much when starting it due to the plain looking poster but look what i got myself into, I won’t go into the plot summary cause you can quite literally see it everywhere but I love it! I’ve never seen anything like this actually where one tries to change their past but it ends up being a dream that’s the most logical way but didn’t expect that in dramas. The hints with the fragrances instantly made me realise what the plot twist was but when it happened i was still shocked their acting just makes me feel everything. A lot of tissues were used when watching this but everything added up so perfectly. Although I’m still quite bittersweet about the romance between the ML and FL but it makes sense this easily became one of my favourites, one of the only dramas I’d actually rewatch. All the characters portrayed their characters so well there wasn’t a single flaw in my eyes, I absolutely adored the family moments and bawled my eyes out when it was all shattered 🥲 definitely recommend it, Zhou ye showed it all here.Esta resenha foi útil para você?

scent of time is the most exciting yet calming drama of this year
Hua Qian, who is a spoiled brat get a second chance. to do everything she did wrong in the past that led to her and her family’s demise. therefore she changes her ways and starts anew, making good friends and relationships with the people she originally cast aside .I truly enjoyed her character and how she changed completely to a good loving human. It was touching to see her growth. personally I feel Zhang Xiwu was the one for her from the beginning and I don’t see why they couldn’t just be together.
The ending a little frustrating but befitting in a way. I would’ve love to see them together atleast for a few minutes. However, atleast she left her dream so I guess that was an acceptable ending.
Zhang Xiwu was probably the best character in the show then second is Hua Qian. The fact that he loved despite her immaturity and cruelty was just astounding. I hope they’re story is beautiful even out of viewers eyes🥹
overall this is a touching drama with all the right elements needed to make you satisfied with the entire show

Is in my top 4 of best drama's in 2023..
Let me start with a big compliment for the cast of this drama!! Almost everything was perfect.I didn’t think I would love this so much but starting with episode 1 I was already hooked to this drama. Made some long nights 😉
Zhou Ye, I liked her acting here much so more than Back from the brink, my heart and emotions went sometimes all over the place, you could feel the hurt and the disappointments. the last episode, omg, her acting, that was really amazing and I have rewatched that part, a few times. Hope to see many more drama’s of her.
Wang Xing Yue, this guy can act, the first time i saw him in a drama it was the one and only. And I was already amazed by his acting, and he is still so young (21 years). In this drama, he didn’t disappoint me, he was even much better than expected. the parts that he let her know how he feels about her and the rejections, the jealous scenes. I will definitely keep track of him with the coming dramas.
I liked the chemistry between the leads, every scene they had to together was a gift to watch them…
Zhang Yi Jie, never seen him in one the drama’s that I have watched before. But I liked his acting in this drama and will check his other ones.
The story, I liked.... the end?? If it would have had 10 extra minutes, I think that the end would have been perfect… it is not a sad ending, but it would have been nice, if you could have seen her face at the end when she said his name…
Will rewatch this for sure! I highly recommend.

Great Chinese-drama that causes me to anxiously chasing for the upcoming episodes to release...
This is indeed a very nice C-drama with suspense story plot that makes each episodes a mystery to watch. Everytime I thought the story is leading towards an outcome I predict, it ends up with a surprise tweak with the storyline and makes me to be anxiously wanting to watch the next episode like... right now! However, we have to follow the release time of the studio that broadcast this drama that we follow.I like the overall story flow as it managed to show the details of the storyline for me. In each of the scenes, I find the lighting and props for this C-drama capture are well planned, and the acting expression of the actors and actresses are all very well executed. Hence, the cast of this C-drama indeed have shown their great acting skills to my level of liking. Best part for this C-drama is that at the ending of each episodes, it also comes with Bonus Footage that became the filler for viewers to better understand the storyline. I kind of like how the Director came out with this idea...
I highly recommends all to watch this C-drama, if you have not done so. It's indeed awesome and entertaining to watch with family together. Once you start watching it, you'll be anxiously watching until the last episode and only in the final episode, it will reveal the true mystery. I will classify this C-drama as semi happy ending with a nice closing, which many new recent drama failed to achieve this classification and left the viewers with cliff-hanging feeling.
P/S: The opening OST is very nice to listen as it comes with nice melody and the singer vocal is great too. Kudos to the singer for this opening OST.

Spoilers may confuse you
Scent of TimeSpoiler alert❌
At first I didn’t really know that she was dreaming I just thought she was time travelling but When I was on episode 17/18 I got an spoiler saying that she is just on her dream none of these things are real.. So I thought I might not understood the ending & there will be a lot of question on my mind but there wasn’t... They explain the whole thing in the last episode she was just traumatized.... ..
Btw there was One thing that bother me a lot
I was so confused about the male lead but at the end I realized that each of them was a male lead of her life (dream) as she always wanted everyone to love her....... So in her dream everyone loved her.....
But as she couldn’t trust anyone so she created an another character & he was the only one who earned her trust & was there for her no matter what happened or what she did ......
Most recommended drama
best drama everrrr for me
Hua Qian character touched me soo much as sometime I don't really want to wake up from my dream as reality hurts me even if I wake up I try to sleep again so that I can be in that dream again & be happy as I was there.........
The female character is just ❤️ would love watch her future work ✨

A superb drama, fabulously interpreted and masterfully produced
This is a super addictive series with great actorsPLOT: The FL forced the ML2 into a marriage, even she knows he loves the FL. 2 years later, she lost everything: divorce, father beheaded, family ruined, herself on the run and beaten in court... She wakes up 2 years earlier, on her wedding night, and decides to "put everything back in order", but it turns out to be more difficult than expected ;)
What I liked:
+ the CL, adorable, with Zhou Ye & Wang Xing Yue (no kiss, but an intense chemistry)
+ The FL is intelligent, determined.
+ The story is well constructed, credible, respecting the statutes, rules & protocols of his time.
+ The production is effective, without length, giving clues little by little, and maintaining the suspense skillfully.
+ The OSTs are well suited to the emotions of the different scenes.
+ Even the ending is satisfying, credible, logical.
What I liked less:
# The ML2 and FL2 display a poker face in the majority of scenes. FL2 is supposed to be very beautiful (so that all the men who meet her will fall for her) but I find her much less pretty than most of the servants in this series...
=> a superb drama, fabulously interpreted and masterfully produced. Kudos to the whole Team ☆✲ﾟ｡(((´♡‿♡`+)))｡ﾟ✲☆

Série super addictive et avec de grands acteurs
PLOT: La FL a forcé le ML2 dans 1 mariage, sachant qu'il aime la FL. 2 ans + tard, elle a tout perdu : divorce, père décapité, famille ruinée, elle-même en fuite et battue au tribunal ... Elle se réveille 2 ans + tôt, le soir de ses noces, et décide de "tout remettre en ordre", mais cela s'avère + difficile que prévu ;)
What I liked :
+ le CL, adorable, avec Zhou Ye & Wang Xing Yue
+ La FL est intelligente, déterminée.
+ La story est bien construite, crédible, respectant les statuts, les règles & protocoles de l'époque.
+ La réalisation est efficace, sans longueur, donnant des indices peu à peu, et maintenant le suspense habilement.
+ Les OST sont bien adaptées aux émotions des différentes scènes.
+ Même la fin est satisfaisante, crédible, logique.
What I liked less :
# Le ML2 et la FL2 affichent une poker-face dans la majorité des scènes. La FL2 est sensée être très belle (pour que tous les hommes qui la croisent soient en admiration) mais je la trouve beaucoup moins jolie que la plupart des servantes de cette série.
=> un superbe drama, fabuleusement interprété et magistralement réalisé. Kudos à toute la Team ☆✲ﾟ｡(((´♡‿♡`+)))｡ﾟ✲☆

This show is a love.
If you crave for a slow burning romance than this series a must watch for you.I dont like cringe romance in chinese dramas which is very common.
This show is something I have seen for the first time in chinese drama.
Female lead has potrayed her character with so much versatility. I just loved her in this show.
Story is complex but very engaging to make us hold on to it till the very end.
I liked the romance arc between female lead , her guard and the lord.
Almost every character in this show has shown as grey and which is relatable to our real life. Thats why I am loving this show very much.

Unlocking the Scented Secrets
"Scent of Time" is an exceptionally progressive TV show that defies the typical episodic format. It goes beyond the usual dynamic of two main characters weaving in and out of the storyline. In this series, every character, no matter how small their role, plays a significant part in the lead character's journey. It's a breath of fresh air in the world of television dramas, and it defies the expectations set by its official description.The official synopsis might lead you down the wrong path, so don't let it fool you. It suggests the story is about a hardworking young woman who wakes up in a novel she was reading all night. That's far from the truth. "Scent of Time" revolves around Hua Qian, a reckless and spoiled young woman who's made serious mistakes in her life, ultimately leading to her betrayal and death by those she trusted. In her dying moments, she's granted a unique opportunity – to relive the final part of her life, starting from her marriage day.
Hua Qian undergoes a profound transformation, determined to change people's perceptions of her to avoid repeating her past mistakes and facing a tragic end once more. The series delves into her choices as she strives to not only stay alive but also find happiness. It's a deliberately slow-paced drama, taking great care with the intricacies of each sequence.
As of my current viewing at episode twelve, the main male characters remain a mystery to me. Rest assured, I'll provide a more comprehensive review once I've seen the entire series. I strongly encourage you to give it a chance. "Scent of Time" is exceptionally well-executed, with the cast delivering remarkable performances. I've witnessed the talents of the lead actresses, Zhou Ye (as Hua Qian) and Zhao Qing (as Mu Yao), in their previous work, and they continue to impress with their portrayals.
The music, though somewhat melancholic, effectively conveys the emotions of Hua Qian in beautifully somber notes. The series is meticulously filmed, emphasizing natural lighting to create a sense of realism while incorporating bursts of color and vibrancy to mirror the characters' emotional fluctuations.
~ About the Scent Note ~
As I journey through 'Scent of Time' to its twelfth episode, the enigmatic scent, a persistent presence throughout the series, remains shrouded in mystery. Hua Qian, our determined protagonist, repeatedly encounters a fragrance that eludes recognition, and her instinctual dismissal of it only deepens the intrigue. It's evident that this mysterious scent is poised to unveil a pivotal facet of the plot in the upcoming episodes.
Hua Qian possesses a remarkable olfactory gift, her scent recognition abilities and sensitivity to notes extending far beyond the ordinary. The deliberate mention of scents in every episode serves as a sensory reminder, taking us on a journey through the intricacies of emotion, a dimension that transcends the boundaries of time itself.
The fragrance that Hua Qian perceives, yet cannot place, acts as a tantalizing thread woven into the narrative's fabric, an element that teases a revelation yet to come. As the drama unfolds, one can't help but wonder what secrets this enigmatic scent may hold, and how it ties into the broader story.
This sensory journey into 'Scent of Time' adds a layer of intrigue and depth to the storytelling, inviting us to explore the connections between scents and emotions, and how they may ultimately shape the course of the narrative. I eagerly await the moments when these aromatic hints finally unravel their significance in the upcoming episodes.
Prepare for an emotional and evocative journey through the ups and downs. Don't miss out on this drama because of the official synopsis.
