The ML and FL also share a somewhat mystical connection related to their pasts and coincidentally ML's sister. Both involve solving a crime (one about child abductor the other about a serial killer) which include the police force (both of which have cops that are slightly ridiculous and comedic). Both FLs struggle with memory loss and trying to get by in a world that they don't seem to fit into. Both FLs have loving single parent households, whereas the MLs don't have the support of family leading them to be alone, self-dependant and emotionally disconnected at the beginning. Both dramas have an enjoyable romance but also a dark crime investigation with different kinds of quirky comedic elements. Both are at times intense and thrilling that you can't stop watching. I would say Link: Eat, Kill, Love is more dark comedy and The Girl Who Sees Scents is more whimsical because, well, she can see scents.
From the start, I found this movie had similiar concept with the upcoming drama (Link), because I already watched the trailer of this drama, where's the ML and FL connected emotionally. When the FL cry, the ML also cry simultaneously. In the conclusion the similarities of both drama and movie is both main leads have emotional connection. At first, I thought the movie was the adaption of the drama. But, I realized that the drama hasn't airing yet. Anyway, this concept is interesting..
I felt some Kill Me, Heal Me vibes while watching Link. They both have severe childhood trauma centered mysteries, a touch of fantasy, and emotional healing and closure from past trauma. Link, although a great drama, was unfortunately unable to capture the amazing charm and chemistry that Kill Me, Heal Me radiates.
