What the audience says
Aroma was one of the more anticipated Korean releases while it was on our radar. It's a tight 80-minute watch — easy to fit into a busy night. It releases on 16 Nov 2026; mark your calendar if it's on your list.
Should you spend 80 minutes on it?
80 minutes of Korean drama, leaning mystery. Tight enough that it's an easy yes if you're undecided.

Story
Yang, a nurse with an unusually selective sense of smell, can tolerate only disinfectant and lemon—until she encounters the scent of Fang, a man in a vegetative state. As she imagines her way into his memories, guilt and forbidden desires, the boundaries between intimacy, projection and death begin to dissolve. Moving between waking life and dream, Aroma is a dark contemporary fairy tale about the body, desire, and love that refuses to disappear when the body does.
