In fact, unlike other mystery dramas, the criminal is identified early on in the storyline. Most of all, what makes this drama memorable is that the villain is so hauntingly villainous that the combination of the audience's trepidation and demand for justice beckons them to continue watching. Thus, the ordinarily stoic Moo-gak transforms into such a laughable dork that you can't help but find him absolutely adorable.
Choi Eun-seol, who assumes the alias of Oh Cho-rim, pursues her passion of performing 만담개그 (man dam gae geu, Korean slapstick comedy), and ropes Moo-gak in as her partner.
THE GIRL WHO SEES SMELLS REVIEW SERIAL
Their lives eventually collide (literally) as they join forces to ultimately catch the "Bar Code" serial killer, who is connected to the murder of their family members.Īlthough I usually enjoy the intensity of thrillers, I particularly appreciate that ' The Girl Who Sees Smells' interlaces murder mystery with bizarre comedy. Moo-gak is so torn by the wrongful death of his sister that he loses sleep and becomes desensitized to all pain. She is shocked to discover that she sees odd, floating colors and shapes, which she later identifies as smells. Eun-seol, who gets hit by a car after witnessing her parents' murder, suffers from memory loss. The story commences with our two leads, Choi Moo-gak ( Park Yoo-chun) and Choi Eun-seol ( Shin Se-kyung), who are both plagued by family murders. Not only that, ' The Girl Who Sees Smells' delivers such a suspenseful narrative, and viewers become so engaged with how the main arc unfolds, that they might just end up forgetting that seeing smells is not very plausible. I'm sure the first question on everybody's minds is, "How exactly do you visualize scents?" The drama does a tasteful job of depicting her ability while tying it in nicely with enigmatic murder cases that can only be solved with her help.
There are several dimensions to the drama which make it compelling and enjoyable. Sensory Couple) may have struck gold by weaving this outlandish idiosyncrasy into a crime/mystery series.

Get to the bottom of The Girl Who Sees Smells when it premieres on ONE on 6 May at 8.55pm (SGT)/7.55pm (JKT)Īiring every Monday and Tuesday.I suppose most people, upon hearing the title of the drama, will not understand how a convincing plot can revolve around a girl who sees smells. Who is Oh Cho Rim – the girl who eventually draws Mu Gak out of his grief with her knack for comedy – really? And can her ability to see the scents wafting out of objects help put a stop to the increasingly disturbing deaths? Mu Gak is perplexed… Eun Seol is the name of his dead sister! But something else about Oh Cho Rim is bothering Choi Mu Gak and lead detective Lieutenant Yeom Mi (Yoon Jin Seo): her uncanny resemblance to the case’s missing key witness, and how she occasionally gets mistaken by strangers as Choi Eun Seol. Together, they rack their brains and fall into some hilarious, offbeat situations to unravel the mystery surrounding the murder of Choi’s sister, as well as the other shocking “Barcode” incidents. Interestingly, the trauma from the incident has left Choi devoid of his sense of smell and taste, as well as the ability to feel pain. In her quest to become a stage comedienne, Oh comes across Choi Mu Gak ( Park Yoo Chun, Three Days, Rooftop Prince), a newly promoted police detective who months ago lost his younger sister to the “Barcode” serial killer. Now a simple, happy-go-lucky schoolgirl, Oh has lost her memory of her tragic past, including the untimely death of her parents.
The Girl Who Sees Smells is Oh Cho Rim (Shin Se Kyung – Fashion King, Deep Rooted Tree), who miraculously developed the heightened sense of seeing smells, but lost her memory after recovering from an accident that put her in a 6 month-long coma. Two extraordinary souls cross paths to solve the mystery of the “Barcode”serial killer that wrecked their lives in a suspenseful new romantic-comedy drama – possibly JYJ member Park Yoo Chun’s last before he enlists in the military this year.
