The Girl Who Sees Scents

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.

On episode 9 now and giving it 9 stars for keeping me interested to continue watching. I'm an ardent fan of Shin Se-Kyung. But it is the villain that makes the whole story interesting.

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!

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.

A character who can feel no pain, a character who can see smells and a character with face blindness are all part of this comedy thriller. A detective trying to track down a serial killer teams up with a girl also linked with the same killer. It has its amusing moments and a fair share of drama as the serial killer leaves barcodes on his victims bodies. Well acted by the cast but would have been better if episodes were reduced as it drags out at the end too much.
