Scent of a Witch
(3.5 stars as of Aug 18, 2018) The idea of a gender bender witch and a bewitched man sounds like a great plot! It was really.... until you realized that the "angst" was not as worth it when you see the end result of their "love" for each others. The plot may have been done plenty of times, but the result was.. disappointing. I did not like how much sex was involved in this story. I wanted to see some romances and fluffy moments. But, no. All I got was a bunch of meaningless sex scenes. The main character, Ryan, does not know how to love his partner, Noah, because he is a greedy bastard. And Noah, the main man himself, just let the Prince do whatever he wants - just like a needy whore. I don't feel like it was genuine. As for Ian and Vichid, it was easier to handle because you can see their love developing. Vichid, the eldest prince, was ill for all his life. He knows everybody in his vicinity wanted him dead. However, that one person, Ian, told him to recover and it lighted a spark in Vichid's heart. To be honest though, it was difficult to follow their story because I was not that interested in it. I am slightly interested now that I realized that Ryan's and Noah's love is going nowhere but sex. Overall, the plot was kind of interesting. There were a bunch of edge seating moments. For example, the testimony was a wreck in the heart. A bunch of twists and turns and making up stories to save themselves. However, it was still difficult to follow. I did not like Jania from the start because I knew she would be a jealous bitch filled with malice intend. I also wished to see Noah in his woman form when he is with Ryan. The story could have been more beautiful is the romance was more developed. It's such a shame that it went downhill.
