While the drama heavily relies on the guise of Cho-rim seeing smells to help solve crimes, this doesn’t mean that the crimes will be solved easily. With the last episode revealing a plot twist that left me in tears when one of the detectives got too deeply involved in the case, there is definitely hope that this development will occur. While they can be incredibly funny to watch, there is definitely room for the development of these characters. Their interactions with the other characters seem typical of high school students rather than detectives, as they stubbornly only pursue one possible lead in a case and try to bully the only other detective into not pursuing other possible leads. At this point, the members of the detective team are rather two dimensional used for comedic appeal and plot devices. While the drama has already invested a lot of time in developing the characters of the main couple, there are many other characters within the story that have yet to develop. I’m seeing a new power couple in the future for these two!įor now, we are starting to be introduced to quite a range of characters from the heroes, possible villains, victims and detectives. The two actors react naturally together, feeding off each other easily to create interesting interactions. Who can’t but help draw the connections between Moo-gak’s gag skit and Yoochun in Happy Together. Yoo-chun especially easily slips between the two contrasts, going from stoic to stupid within seconds when Moo-gak performs skits with Cho-rim.
Shin Se-kyung as Cho-rim has the ability to take any scene filled with dark themes and flipping it to the very opposite with one smile. In each other they find someone that they can share their unique abilities and even though they clash, they start to learn from each other through shared experiences.īoth Shin Se-Kyung and Park Yoo-chun were cast perfectly for this drama with their facial expressions alone being able to light up or darken a scene within seconds. However, they both share one characteristic as both are driven when achieving their goals. Cho-rim’s bright and exuberant personality clashes with Moo-gak’s emotionless one. Moo-gak and Cho-rim steal the show with their adorable interactions from the very beginning. These two characters meet 3 years later, developing a co-dependent friendship where Moo-gak uses Cho-rim’s ability to see smells to solve crimes and Cho-rim uses Moo-gak as her gag partner in a comedy troupe. Moo-gak becomes desensitized in grief, swearing to catch his sister’s killer while developing a condition where he can no longer feel pain. Choi Moo-gak becomes involved in this twisted crime when his sister, who has the same name of Choi Eun-seol, was murdered in the hospital after having been mistaken for Cho-rim. The accident left her without any memories, the sixth sense of seeing smells and the new identity of Cho-rim.

Oh Cho-rim, who was once known as Choi Eun-seol, witnessed the murder of her parents by this serial killer and when trying to escape from becoming the killer’s next victim she was accidentally run over.

The plot follows the main couple as they become twisted up in a serial murder case where victims are reported missing then turn up later dead with a bar code cut into their arm. The drama will leave you wanting more and not just because of its cliffhanger endings. It is an incredibly well-written, acted and directed drama that can leave you in stitches or sitting on the edge of your seat in suspense. So far, Girl Who Can See Smells seems to have something for everyone from romance, comedy, mystery to thriller. Only question is can it capture the same attention the comic did? Originally a popular web comic, Girl Who Can See Smells joins the ranks of many other drama adaptions. It boasts a star-studded cast, with Shin Se-kyung and Park Yoo-chun taking on the romantic leads of Oh Cho-rim and Choi Moo-gak. SBS started airing it’s new Wednesday-Thursday night drama on April 1 st, the Girl Who Can See Smells.
