Hm, I think the old man was pretty obvious from the beginning. When the little girl found some pictures and he shouted at her to leave them alone, it stood out. The fact that his daughter wanted to get out of his home as soon as possible, cut all ties, and that he tried to convince the son to never meet their mother was very telling.

I’m a bit conflicted right now. As much as I’d love to like everything about this show because it gave us Go Hyun Jung’s fantastic performance in such an interesting role, almost everything else felt flat. Well, not everything: Han Dong Hee, the serial killer, and the copycat wannabe guy from the earlier episodes, Tae Tae Goo, were good. But the rest? Nothing special. The characters, the writing, the directing... I don’t know. I want a second season just to see the FL as a bit crazy serial killer, but at the same time, most of the other characters and actors I actually enjoyed are already dead/out.

It always made you cringe? Then why did you watch it multiple times? Why do people spend so much time on things they don’t like? I’d love to read an analysis on how this woman can trigger so many people. And who are these people? what are they like? who follow her works, claim to watch them, yet keep hating on her?

Nah, it says a lot about you how quick you are to call things crap. Pretty immature.

I think you had issue with the FL sooner if you drop something in 5 mins.

Rewatching this because it’s leaving Netflix in my region soon. The villain is really good and sexy. The first half of the show is quite strong. I don’t get why Shin Sae Kyeong doesn’t do more comedies, she’s made to be a rom-com heroine. The title makes it sound like it’s about a girl who can see smells, but I think that’s misleading. At first, the FL is smart and useful, and her special skill is a big part of the plot. But later the script reduces her to a boring support character. The ML is a good and his colleagues are incompetent and funny. Exactly what you’d expect in a show like this. Overall, it’s a fun watch. The only odd thing rewatching it in 2025 is the lack of makeup. Was no-makeup look trending in Korea in 2016? I think this might actually be SSK’s “least good” look in any of her daramas. She was prettier in earlier shows like Fashion King or High Kick.

Please Mr/Mrs serial killer kill that two stupid police officers before you get caught. Thank you in advance!

I don’t understand why some people are so quick to judge and complain. Saying the leading actor is bad after only four episodes feels too harsh to me. You can’t compare him to the leading actress. She’s far more experienced, has better material to work with, and is an outstanding talent. Not being amazing doesn’t mean he’s bad. Why do some people always feel the need to bash and criticize? To me, he’s not bad, not great, but just fine.

yes, on Netflix

I don’t really have a problem with the cast. (Maybe just one, the IT girl feels too stereotypical, a bit forced, and not very convincing.) As for the rest, I think it’s more about the roles not giving the actors much chance to show off their skills yet. Maybe they’ll become more interesting as the story develops.

Oh hi, my bitter friend! What’s new with you these days? Still nothing better to do than go around leaving baseless negative comments? Ever thought about getting a puppy, a partner… maybe even a life?

Kudos to the actor who plays the copycat wannabe guy with glasses. He was great and really rose to the FL’s level. The rest of the cast feels a bit bland, but that’s what happens when a truly great actor or actress gets strong material and sets the bar so high. Go Hyun Jung is an incredible actress, and I didn’t expect anything less from her in such a role. The directing and editing in the first episode felt a bit less convincing, but even that improved in the second. So far, the plot is interesting, and overall the acting and directing are solid. The FL and her ‘fan’ are both excellent. Rating here is a joke but that is nothing new.

Why are you so sensitive? If you’re so eager to write negative things (not constructive criticism, not even based on facts) then you should be ready to take it as well. Have a nice day!

I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to insult you. I was just expressing the feelings you evoked in me after reading your negative comment here and on the actress’ page. If you don’t like it then maybe stop going around leaving meaningless, negative comments.

That’s fine. I don’t really care what a bitter, negative guy like you thinks, but I want others reading these comments to see that plenty of people feel differently.

??? Queen Seondeok, Dear My Friends, The Queen's Classroom were all great shows and this one sounds promising too. Can't wait

I really don’t get the ‘expressionless’ comments some actresses get. I really like her acting, and she draws me in every time I watch her dramas.

It was such a great character. Strong and smart, the kind that's rarely given to actresses. And she was perfect in the role.

The main actress is one of the best in Korea. Just look at her performances in Queen Seondeok, Dear My Friends, and The Queen’s Classroom. If you don’t give her another chance, you’re really missing out. Namib was just a poorly written drama with flat characters. That’s on the writer.

I like the main actor, but I think he's too old for the actress, and they just don’t look good together. I guess I’m wired differently than the average viewer, because most of the hyped dramas don’t really do anything for me.
