One more disappointing feature was incomplete and half baked explanation about the killer’s motives. There is no lack of cute and thrills in every turn.

Also, it’s crystal clear at the end that the writer was running out of ideas, which led to a very underwhelming last episode.īut despite its glaring flaws, the drama is charming and entraining enough to keep us in its company. Also, there are lots of loop holes and illogical sequences, especially in the second half which mars the enjoyment somewhat. I blame the writing for being so lazy when it comes to painting decent cops, as I don’t expect it to be top-notch but at least give us something acceptable. The modus operandi of the cops is outrageously incompetent to the extent that I’ve never seen such policemen acting with stupidity. Apart from cute and comedy, it has lots of chilling moments and also fast pace.

There is never a dull moment in this completely entertaining show. It’s a risky step but drama handles it quite well as the show turns from whodunnit to a showcase of how our team of cops will find and catch the murderer. The drama throws some red herrings in the mix to keep us guessing but ultimately lifts the curtains on who the real culprit is. At first, we see some episodic cases as Cho Rim becomes useful to Moo Gak but then the plot gains momentum as the main killer comes into picture again. The drama maps out its run with a mix of development of romance and police investigations. The scenes where they practise or perform the comic skit, they are truly mirthful. This is a couple which came out of nowhere and knocked it out of the park. You just want to squish them as they keep on being adorable. Yoochun and Shin Se Kyung charge the screen with their charming chemistry and form one of the cutest on-screen couples I’ve ever seen. They joke around, tease, do lots of cute things together and also have emotional talks. The couple is admirable as Moo Gak and Cho Rim are both understanding and supportive, and always think and work together, without keeping the other in dark. I like that in the end, both realised what they really wanted to do in life. In fact, he is very innocent and naive, with determination but he is not a genius. His only mission was to search the man who killed his sister but I love that the drama didn’t make him a jaded, hungry-for-revenge angry young man. Moo Gak is one of the best male leads in dramaverse. She is someone you would want to be friends with - she is that sweet and loving. The way she is willing to help Moo Gak in his investigations and also later, willingly wants to help the police by keeping herself in danger, all this shows how much courageous she is. Cho Rim is a girl who is bubbly, helpful and brave. They are charming individually as well as together.
#The girl who sees smell serial
Their paths cross and then starts a journey where they not only solve the mystery of the serial killer but also find peace and love in each other, and realise what they really want to do in life.Īs I said before, the piece-de-resistance of this drama is its main pair of Moo Gak and Cho Rim. They both suffer from this tragedy which results in amusing consequences as she gains the ability to see smells while he loses ability to feel physical pain and tastes. Our hero is Moo Gak who lost his sister when a serial killer killed her while the same person kills our heroine Cho Rim’s parents. The drama centres around two people who have many things in common. The cute romance salted with murder mystery about a serial killer and punctuating everything with a supernatural ability - the result is a show which isn’t flawless but manages to find a place in your heart. CUTE!!! If there is one word that can define Girl Who Sees Smells for me, it is this.
