This drama has potential to be Death Note but is Alive Note instead Eps 1-6: 6.9/10 3 eps in, FL treated like sh1t by ML, still let him get into her house. She is too innocent for her past. If you think there's a plot hole, it (A1) will be explained later on.
Eps 7-16: 8/10, The directors is cooking on this one, strong momentum. Despite how good it is, the main antagonist concept is quite rare in dramas.
== Minor Spoiler == Death Note ref: E8 42:20 (A1) Love Spell states: It's a spell to win the love of someone YOU LIKE.
Slow opening with powerful follow up, The Council shall place this under Section One at average. 8/10
FL should've cut off ML right after bakery issue for causing trouble. Very OOC of her to let him stay. Not to mention FL sparing their main enemy twice.
Overall 7/10, The Council shall place this under Section One below average.

Please spoil me how the ending played out. I didn't like the ending of Scent of Time, it ruined the entire drama…
Similar like Scent of Time, the alarm clock here is basically the scents in SoT 1. FL "woke up" from 35 eps 2. She corrects her mistakes, but all her work in 35 eps goes down the drain 3. She somehow meet ML, the one FL love, in the future, then it ends with no follow up or explanation.
all this happen in less than 50% time of one episode.
(Slight spoiler) Issues: Sudden kiss for some reason (second one). Madwoman 2ndFL sudden change at the end. FL with that fishy company issue not brought up, lawsuit or something. ML family issues just a filler with no impact.
Overall 7.9/10. Even though the actors deliver especially FL, due to directors smoking crack with this writing, The Council shall place this under Section One at average.
The Council decides this drama to be at below average of Section One
