Just Nice
Just nice. I like the storyline. I like the acting butttt.....why do I feel like less chemistry between Park Yoo Chun and Shin Se Kyung? And for the ML, when he said he love and needs the FL, I just can't feel the love.I know that there is some scene that is impossible and non sensible but who cares. It's just a drama. But anyway, this drama is good. If you looking for a mystery plus comedy, you can watch this.
Oh! one more thing. NamKoong Min just too hot in this drama. And in my personal opinion, he is more suitable to play the role as a psycho and a serious man than a romantic. And he is not good when he played for comedy.
The conclusion is...this drama is so so. 7.5 stars!

Loved the suspense
LIKEThe suspense where the villian is right in front of you but you simply could not catch him
Jae Hee's character which contributed a lot to this drama - without Namkoong Min this drama would probably be an okay one
DISLIKE
Nothing that I could remember
MUSIC
Spring is Gone by Chance - Yuju (ft. Loco)
REWATCH VALUE

Slow start but COMPLETE end ❤️ ?
10/10 would recommend to watch and would definitely rewatch with my friends. This was actually such a breath of fresh air. I really liked how they ended it which is why I rated it so high if it had stayed the way that it was throughout to the end I would not have rated it high but the end is so good and so justified that I rated it high.I was really frustrated that they had a concept of being able to see smells and they used it a limited amount of times when it could have been used all throughout and shown better. I felt like they kind of dropped the ball on thatThey only used it when it was convenient for them and I don't think it was well written for the kind of concept that I thought I was going to get. The "use" of her gift felt pretty lazy; they used it to move the story along and in some spaces when it should have been used and was necessary they did not add it. I just felt like they could have done so much better with that concept it's such an original concept.
The OST did not disappoint. The acting in some spaces felt like it could have been better executed with a couple more takes. And the production and editing didn't age well. I was expecting way better for 2015. These are the little nitpicky things that would have dropped my ratings if the ending wasn't so cute and complete.
until about episode 6 I felt like it was so slow to show you the romantic parts but then as you progressed on it actually gets so much better which is why I stuck with it. I loved how they show the mundane and how they show you the thriller part in episode 16 instead of just doing 15 and then 16 being the happy episode. IT felt well thought out and like the happy ending was not an afterthought.

Love Crime Dramas and "magical" elements it was amazing to have the two combined
10/10 is my rating. This is a 2015 South Korean television drama with 16, ~60 minute, episodes.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.
Spoiler 🚨 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 forgiveness 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 interesting 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!

Weird but sweet.
Honestly, I wasn't expecting to enjoy this series as much as I did since the trailer and storyline did not give me high hopes but it was actually a pretty well put together crime show that keeps you guessing who the killer is.It starts off intense, then slows a bit while building the characters backgrounds etc but it picks up a few episodes in and keeps you interested. The female leads powers aren't to mystical to make it seem fake so the plot line was believable and that made the scary parts even more intense.
The love story between the main leads did not take over the plot all to much, even though the moments you did see were extremely sweet and the chemistry between them is undeniable, so it doesn't distract to much from the crime storyline.
The only things I am a bit confused over the females need to become a comedian, (she doesn't seem very funny or I possibly don't understand the humor?) and the random job changes in the last two episodes which seem to not stay changed? Otherwise the series was super cute.

Poderia ter enrolado menos
A história até que começou bem, mas depois foi enrolando tanto no desenvolver do enredo, que se tornou tão cansativo, que eu já estava quase desistindo de assistir.Se tivesse menos capítulos teria sido melhor. Os atores tem um atuação e uma química ok. Mas tinha certos momentos que eu já estava me estressando com os personagens. E o fato de descobrirmos logo quem era o vilão, o que eu achei que poderia ter demorado mais, atrapalhou no desenvolvimento do drama. O que não o tornou muito interessante para mim.

Do I love Namgoong too much?
Alright I will be straight with you, I got to the point when watching this I was just rooting for the killer to win...I don’t know if it’s mainly because I am fond of the actor taking the majority of reasoning to why but this is just how it is....I can understand/accept the sort of halfway they made investigations at times because it can be relatively straight forward and not too contradictory...
The romance. I didn’t get it. I completely bewildered in why she could be interested in such a guy and to why a guy so obsessed with his sister being killed how he can be nonchalant about her being the reason it actually happened to the point they hit it off. Honestly he always has no faith in her eyes despite the fact she proven him time and again until someone else mentions something or she forces him to listen in some way that often relies on her being in danger or something non benefiting.
Plus that kiss they share in the apartment and she runs away....She is 23 (?) that was their second kiss even if you consider it a more serious one at that age no matter how naive you are the way she reacted was too ott (what is she? 12?) and him too boorish. Plus that forced fake dating, non date where the first one happens....Ughh
I just can’t see it working it out, it seems so utterly forced, that if you told me he faked loving her to use her for her ability , I wouldn’t really blink in surprise or anything but nonchalantly say “oh”
I loved the acting from the doctor but well he died....Then the well beloved chef obviously loved all his scenes and the built up tension he displayed, the cold collectiveness and the reserved smile...If anything he became the backbone to the whole story for me, his parts seemed the only ones that seemed in-depth and actually had detail
I don’t know if it merely the actors strength that gave it value but I would not be surprised if that’s the case...Because after all that was built up to become a lame excuse “I choose who lives and dies” ......How...Unpowerful for a character with face blindness...That reasoning just undermines all the actors work to define a character because as soon as they were said even such a great character had no value...
Honestly the writer could of made use of the journals he made his victims write swirled in with face blindness like making them write such a thing gave them an identity. I mean to someone with face blindness everyone is a stranger even the people you could refer to as close too whether it be family or friend, that killing came from the frustration or fear from such a isolating thing because to him what difference would a death make? He can’t see their presence to begin with so it could of given him a jaded idea of existence itself....Plus was victim 00 ever found? It’s just so lackluster to how it could of been
I skipped to see the ending and just gave up, I was only sticking around for the killer and he died, the romance meant nothing to me, the fact the mc she gave up on her dream to be a comedian though honestly it was random to why she wanted to be one in the first place. Plus she just became his sniffer dog and doesn’t even have a honeymoon....Work obsessed and all that with others benefiting from her ability and taking credit despite her figuring it out step by step all on her own in the majority of cases...Honestly ironically she had more heartwarming moments and tender moments with the killer rather then her love interest but she just blurts out his name during thoose scenes to express how impossible it is...

Promising but poorly executed.
The concept starts off with an interesting premise that could have been developed into an intriguing story. However, it starts to get very shallow after a while, with very little depth to the ideas, boring cliches, one-dimensional characters and predictable plot twists. The series should have ended with 8 or 10 episodes at max, they just dragged it out and made it utterly predictably boring after a few episodes.Aside from the bad guy, no one else appears to have any intelligence and the outcomes of most episodes are laughable. Namkoong Min does a good job as always, he's debonair, smart and intelligent and stands out from the rest of the cast so much that he's out of place. But the police? They are portrayed as so inept and lacking intelligence that it's laughable. Park Yoo Chun, playing detective Moo Tak in a role that's so siloed, dumbed down, irritating and lacking intelligence it's impossible not to cheer for the bad guy. Detective Yeom Mi's role is a little more nuanced and you can afford to be a little more patient with her but her potential is severely wasted. The FL's role on the other hand was better cast and played - she's supposed to be a simple character without much depth, and you go in with very little expectation about her intelligence and abilities. To that end, she was not bad.
However, after a few episodes, it became so irritating that I stopped watching. I feel this drama does a lot of injustice to the capability and skills of a stellar screen personality like Namkoong Min - if you really want to see him shine, look at My Dearest, Hot Stove League, Awaken, Good Manager, or even a lighthearted comedy like Beautiful Gong Shim where he shines.

WTH is the whole comedy skit storyline for?
The most annoying thing, for me, is the stupid 'comedy' club and its stupid skits and yuk-yuks of absolutely no value. Why did this drama need this? So bad and cringe. Already started skipping those idiotic scenes from about episode 4.Actually, the fact that the main lead thought that was a good thing ... just made me think less of her.
