The Girl Who Sees Scents

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.

Found on Netflix watched in two days. Shame no s2. But as a lot of korean shows u get only 1 season it seems

I love the villain more in this drama i mean i have fallen love with minkoong great drama.

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!

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.
