The Girl Who Sees Smells

We can watch it for intresting plot, concept and the villian. But entire love portion becomes speed breakers to the every episode. Any country police can solve this issue in 6-10 episode but the unwanted content dragged to 16 episodes. 15th and 16th episode is completely not related to the entire series and it looks like deleted scenes what editor cut nand thrown out. Except police everyone is so brilliant in the series.

OK, the antagonist should never make you feel sorry for him, like him or be good looking. Min Namkoong make me feel all of those things. This series had someone who could not taste or know when he's full, someone who had face blindness, and someone who could see spells. It was quirky, and unreal, but I liked it. I wish I could give it 7.5 instead of 8, but it's more towards the 8 than the 7. Whenever they were showed the female protagonist seeing a smell, the music they played was reminiscent of the bionic woman. I also think I probably did not need the last episode. I think they were trying to wrap it up in a little bow which was not necessary.

As this Korean series opens a teenage girl returns home and finds herself face to face with a serial killer known as 'The Bar Code Killer' due to the fact that he carves a barcode into his victims' arms. She flees but is hit by a car. In hospital the killer, intending to eliminate the only witness, murders a girl of the same name by mistake. Her brother, Choi Mu-gak, is so traumatised that he loses his senses of taste and smell and the ability to feel pain; later on he becomes a police officer so he can bring the killer to justice. Meanwhile the witness eventually wakes from a coma but has no memory of her life before the accident; she has also gained a strange ability; she can see scents. The retiring officer in charge of the case at the time takes her in as his own daughter and gives her the name Oh Cho-rim. Events a few years later bring them together and she uses her ability to help him solve cases; however neither realises that she is the witness he is seeking. Meanwhile the killer is continuing to kill, unaware that the girl he killed wasn't the witness because he has a condition that means he can't remember faces. If you want something gritty then this probably won't be for you. However if you want a light hearted crime drama with elements of comedy and romance it is a lot of fun. The identity of the killer is not kept secret. He is shown to the viewer early on and it isn't much longer before the police regard him as the prime suspect... the problem is proving it. Tensions rise nicely as the killer learns the witness is still alive and starts searching for her. The characters are a lot of fun and the cast does an impressive job. Shin Se-kyung and Park Yoo-chun, particularly impress as Oh Cho-rim and Choi Mu-gak; they have a fine chemistry. The special effects used to depict Oh Cho-rim's ability are rather fun aren't over used. Overall I found this to be a lot of fun and would certainly recommend this to fans of light-hearted K-drama. These comments are based on watching the series in Korean with English subtitles.

As a student, Choi Eun-seol (Shin Se-kyung) is a witness to her parent's murder. The killer, who turns out to be the infamous "Barcode serial killer" attempts to kill Eun-seol who gets away but is hit by a car during her escape. The accident leaves Eun-seol in a coma with little hope of waking up or recovery. The same tie Eun-seol is admitted, Choi Moo-gak (Park Yoo-chun) goes to the hospital to see his young sister who had been in a minor traffic accident. Moo-gak is shocked and devastated to find his young sister lifeless in the hospital bed with her throat slit. Miraculously, about a half year later, Eun-seol emerges from the coma. There are three things that are different about her when she wakes up 1. One of her eyes has turned green 2. She cannot remember anything 3. She is able to visually see smells with her green eye. Moo-gak was so devastated by his sister's death that he was unable to sleep or eat and winds up fainting and being close to death for a period of 10 days, and wakes up to find he has lost his sense of pain, smell and taste. After his sister's death, Moo-gak became a police officer and aspired to be a detective. Eun-sol aspires to be a comedic actress. When the two fatefully cross paths they discover each needs something fro the other. Without senses, Moo-gak needs Eun-sol's ability to smell and use it as a tracking method and Eun-sol needs a partner for her acting skit in order to advance with the troupe she has associated with. This was an amazing drama. I liked the "magical" element to it where, when she sees smell, it is all colorful and unique. I like the crime and suspense and the way the detectives grew into a great, caring and cohesive team. The romance between the leads was perfect - I could see them together in real life. It is a shame Park Yoo-chun was incarcerated as I enjoy him so much as an actor. I loved him in Roof Top Prince as well. I hope he can get help with his drug issues and is allowed to recover his career. I think as the American fan base grows there will be more foregiveness for these types of things. The title made me hesitate - how the heck can someone SEE smells? But it was "magical" and added such an intersting level to the story that I loved it. If you want a great crime, drama, romance with a unique twist - this would be the one. It ended well too!

Actors **** Action **** Intrigue ***** Villains ***** Romance **** Cho Rim (Shin SeKyung) wakes up from a six month coma after getting hit by a car, but whehen she wakes up she doesn't remember what happened nor what her name is. She somehow gains a supernatural power... she can see smells. Moo Gak (Park YooChun) is a yung detective with not much talent. Unfortunately he looses his younger sister named Eun Seol, to a murderer. Without knowing their sad and painful family history meet and Cho Rim becomes a big help to Moo Gak and become inseprable. As time passes she finds out the truth about her past (the death of her parents, the reason of her car accident) Will their strong bond help them both find the muderrers ?

The plot concerns a serial killer who tries to kill a young girl who witnessed him during a killing. She is wearing a jacket belonging to her friend so the killer gets the wrong name tag and ends up killing the wrong girl who is the sister of a man - Moo Gak - who is determined to join the task force hunting him down. The police task force is something of a keystone cops operation which relies on comedy rather than effectiveness. There is also a Theatre Group that the girl. Cho-Rim aspires to join. Their idea of comedy is somewhere between childrens television and pantomime. Moo-Gak has no sense of pain and no sense of taste -and a giant appetite - these disabilities have no bearing on the plot and it is hard to see why they were included. Drinking boiling water and eating twenty plates of food at a time is downright dangerous and should not be shown as having no ill effect. The plot plods on with Cho-rim helping to solve simple cases by following smells whilst she and Moo-Gak fall in love. The serial killer is shown to be super clever and outwits them at every turn until they finally catch up with him. The acting is OK - I like the ML and the villain - but the story went on for too long and the ending is somewhat silly.

It's an ok drama. After watching now the 3rd drama with the leading actress, not in favour of her. Liked her in the "Bride of Halbaek" though, it fits her in that drama but here, she was supposed to be a comedian but she is not funny. Continued watching is mainly for the lead actor. He played his role well. He is funny, serious, intelligent cop! But they don't really have chemistry together, it feels forced!
