Warm jiejie romance about girlboss FL & race car driver ML

I was browsing drama posters and the translated title of this drama - Scent of Her - grabbed my attention. I wasn't familiar with the main actress nor the makn actor but I decided to give this drama a chance. I liked it.

What I liked:
1. Romance - This is a jiejie drama specifically about stepsister & stepbrother with no blood relation. They got into a marriage of convenience and I liked their dynamics. FL & ML were affectionate & loving. Even though their kissing scenes were not steamy, I sensed warmth whenever they were together onscreen. I liked the conflict that was presented in their relationship.
2. FL characterisation - She was a strong woman - girlboss. She was curious about the death of her mother.
3. ML characterisation - His sense of smell was off after an accident but he was comforted by FL's scent. I liked him especially when he was playful with FL. He knew when to be serious and responsible.
4. Investigation - I liked this arc.
5. Supporting characters - I liked FL's assistant & ML's friend doctor.
6. Styling - I liked FL's wedding dress. I also liked ML's hair & outfits especially the black jacket at the start and the red & white jacket.

What I disliked:
1. Antagonists - FL's father & ML's mother were despicable. I also disliked FL's ex and FL's uncle.
2. Bedsheet - Their bed sheet was too girlish, it was amusing.

Favourite scene
When they talked about the time they disliked one another in the past then ML confessed his feelings
