![]() Choi is motivated by one thing, to become a homicide detective and avenge his sister’s death, while Oh wants to just succeed in the here and now. Even after guzzling coffee or being kicked by a superior, Choi/Park doesn’t flinch and acts as the opposite of Shin. If Oh Cho Rim has too many senses, Choi Moo Gak has too few, and JYJ’s Park Yoochun thrives on not letting his character show pain due to medical condition. She’s goofy and innocent, but Shin’s acting during small moments when Oh Cho Rim is flustered or disturbed by something reminds the audience constantly that she is more than just a hunting tool, but in fact the hunted. After a reasonable freak out in the first episode, Shin’s character steps into the role perfectly, acting like a human hound as she hunts trails of scent.Īlso on KultScene: Best K-Pop Girl Group B-Sides Of 2015 Shin Se Kyung is Believable As The Girl Who Sees SmellsĪs the title character Oh Cho Rim, Shin Se Kyung pulls off acting as a woman who wakes up from a coma with the ability to see smells. Plus, it’s based on a webcomic that is widely popular, so the plot’s already set and has an audience. The Girl Who Sees Smells takes itself seriously when it needs to, like when focusing on murder cases, and gives the audience steady breaks from the darkness by making the lead female character a comedian who is trying to get her first break in the industry. ![]() With dark comedy, supernatural abilities, a great soundtrack, and a murder plot to keep us from focusing for too long on how ridiculous the whole thing sh/bould be, The Girl Who Sees Smells is reminiscent of award winning 2013 drama, I Can Hear Your Voice. It Has Everything That a Good Drama Needs The new SBS drama, also known as Sensory Couple, isn’t just like every other drama, and that means there’s a lot going for it. The Girl Who Sees Smells is somewhere in between all of this, which means that it has room to grow and shine. Other Korean dramas look like they’ll be huge hits due to the cast and crew behind scenes, and then sadly fail. Some dramas, however, surprise everyone and end up smash successes despite seemingly weak plots and unknown actors. This year’s Kill Me, Heal Me was one such drama that started well and ended well, complete with great actors and great plots. Considering that it’s still January the actors still have time to think it over, and the producers still have time to offer the roles to other people.Some Korean dramas are set up to be successes. It could be a big year for her as she has a film coming out later this year, “Dorihwaga” (a.k.a “The Hymn”), and starring in a drama could boost the publicity too. As for Suzy, this would be her first drama since 2013’s Gu Family Book. Yoo Chun had a bit of success in 2014 with Bong Joon Ho’s film “Sea Fog,” which was selected by Korea as its entry to the 87th Academy Awards for ‘Best Foreign Language Film.’ Can’t say the same for his drama, Three Days, which bored me to death. If Yoochun takes on this drama, he’ll at least be reunited with a familiar writer! The drama will be directed by Baek Soo Chan, who did Dream and Pure Pumpkin Flower. ![]() But it will be written by Lee Hee Myung, who did Rooftop Prince. Of course, both Park Yoo Chun and Suzy are not confirming anything at the moment, especially since the script has yet to be finalized. She also happened to lose all her memories from her past life because of that case. Girl Who Sees Smells is about an apathetic man who lost his sister three years ago to a serial killer of the “Barcode Murders,” and a warm-hearted woman with extrasensory powers who miraculously survived instead of becoming another victim in the same murder case. The drama is based on a webtoon, which seems to be the new “it” source material for dramas these days. Okay, first off – weird title much? Not that it should be much of a surprise since K-drama titles can be a bit odd, but it’s possible a quirky title could indicate a quirky comedy? Park Yoo Chun and Suzy are reportedly in the running for the lead roles in this SBS drama, which is slated to follow Hyde, Jekyll, and I in April.
