![]() ![]() There were so many close calls between him and Cho Rim, it’s not even funny. Undoubtedly, Chef Kwon gives me the creeps. You just receive it.” Can anyone say “awww”?! 5. His persistence is admirable – and candy sweet to boot. I was not a happy viewer, especially when it’s so clear to everyone, even Moo Gak, that Cho Rim has a ton of feelings for him. Whatever happened to communication? To figuring things out together? How about letting the boy eat his cake and the monstrous amount of food he cooked before kicking him out of the house?! This contrived breakup scene in “The Girl Who Sees Smells” definitely takes the cake in terms of lame and unreasonable. How could you break our sweet Moo Gak’s heart like that? And so shortly after his birthday? Tsk tsk. Perhaps his skills are a bit rusty from lack of use? If he had truly been fed information about the case from an insider and intentionally tracks Chef Kwon down, then how could Jae Pyo have so blindly trusted him by offering up his personal information, drinking his coffee, going to Jae Hee’s hose, and so forth without taking any precautions? 4. All in all, I’d say she took the news pretty well and for that, I was glad!Īlthough I do find the former detective to be a little dim-witted in certain aspects. She was more than accepting of her father’s love. I always mentally prepare myself for the abrupt change in personality, the flowing waterworks, the temper tantrums, and the shout of angry words to intentionally hurt someone when secrets get revealed, so I was pleasantly surprised when Oh Cho Rim remained perfectly consistent with her warm heart. ![]() … Just thinking about this is making my head spin. Having already been told that while remaining entirely unaffected, why, then, would Cho Rim get such a shock at seeing Kwon Jae Hee (in his own house, no less) that she faints? Furthermore, why didn’t Cho Rim recognize the house she was entering after having been there so many times? What didn’t quite make sense to me was why Cho Rim was so expressionless and nonchalant when Lieutenant Yeom ( Yoon Jin Seo) first told her about Chef Kwon being their prime suspect for the barcode murderer case. ![]() I also considered the notion that Cho Rim would keep that helpful information to herself, which only meant I was doubly ecstatic when she filled Moo Gak in about Chef Kwon’s disease. To be honest, I half expected for Cho Rim to forget about that fact and blurt her own identity out for the sake of convenience, so I shouted with glee when her mouth was clamped firmly shut of her own freewill. And Oh Cho Rim ( Shin Se Kyung) knows it. Although “The Girl Who Sees Smells” is guilty of that, at least it also remembered one very important aspect: Chef Kwon has Prosopagnosia. So often, in the climax of a drama, common sense is completely thrown out the window in favor of events that don’t quite make sense or with situations that gets haphazardly thrown together at the last minute. Just thinking about that powerful scene still sends shivers down my spine! 2. It was obvious that Chef Kwon was startled, but he should have expected it after their deliciously tense battle of wits on the bridge. I also loved how gutsy Choi Moo Gak ( Park Yoochun) was in calling him out indirectly using the Spyapp. Although he was quick on his feet in terms of trying to stash away any potential evidence of his foul play, it was still gratifying to watch that brief moment of panic cross his face at the thought of getting caught red-handed. One of the things I loved most about what occurred this week was that tension was aplenty! I felt so smug and satisfied watching Chef Kwon Jae Hee ( Namgoong Min) lose his cool for the first time when our detective duo suddenly showed up at his house in search of Oh Jae Pyo ( Jung In Gi). I’m just saying that those errors I was once able to overlook is no longer quite so easy to ignore now… but in spite of that, the recent developments in “ The Girl Who Sees Smells” is still pretty fun and entertaining… for the most part. That isn’t to say that there weren’t any exciting, suspenseful, and downright thrilling moments amongst all the things that went oh-so-horribly-wrong, because there was. HUH?! That was, probably and unfortunately, my reaction half the time during this week’s airing of “ The Girl Who Sees Smells.” The small smattering of plot and directing errors in previous episodes pretty much exploded into a chaotic mess this time and I even wondered, albeit briefly, just how much flaws one can (and should) handle for a drama that is otherwise a pure joy to watch. ![]()
