Shin Se-kyung was just perfect as the bright Chorim. He has a lot of charm as an individual, but now his acting experience just adds on to the love. Park Yoo-chun has been hitting it out of the ballpark with his last two performances, here and in Haemoo. I usually like one half of a couple better than the other, but for these two, I love them just the same. I don't think none of this can work without the two actors just being the best that they could be. We need love, and these two have it plenty. We don't need lying, manipulative, or hateful individuals. It's not the most complex relationship ever portrayed, but sometimes all we need is simplicity and cuteness, two people falling in love because of each other and have each other's back no matter what happens. They are supportive and loving, all the qualities of an actually good relationship. Mugak and Chorim have zero negativity in their relationship. It's frustrating and sends a bad message. I don't know about you, but I hate the haters to lovers trope. They also have a positive relationship from the start. They met as friends and developed feelings for each other by spending time together and getting to know one another, like normal people. But it is in no way a factor into their relationship as lovers. Sure these two meeting in the first place or having a connection in the past is considered fate. For one thing, fate didn't play a heavy hand on their relationship. Once the giggles start, they don't fade away it seems.Īnd since I like to talk about the positives, let's talk about why the Murim couple works. Those 10 minutes mask 50 minutes of bad television. I looked back at previous episodes and they were only on together for about 10 minutes per episode. Even until the end, I never felt like I was heavily disappointed in the show despite it clearly doing so. It's a miracle what they were able to do. Thankfully, Mugak ( Park Yoo-chun) and Chorim ( Shin Se-kyung) are the cutest couple ever and the little bits they have in the show saves all the crap the drama decides to throw at us. To say the mystery aspect failed big time is an understatement. They were making unnecessary action or involve themselves in stupid mistakes over and over again. But even for a clueless person like me, I could tell how stupid the cops were. Heck, I don't even know enough about law to point out the little mistakes filmmakers often make in these genres. I couldn't see the perpetrator's plans two steps ahead like many of you have been able to do or guess where a case would go. As a person who doesn't enjoy the mystery/detective genre, I'm not aware of the usual tropes that are often used. Since I like to start with bad news first, let's dive in to the murder mystery. I think when discussing this drama there's two very different aspects which needs to be dealt with which are the murder case file and the lovely couple story. Also, during the first week, a lot of the bloggers and fellow drama watchers seems to have positive feedback on it, so of course I decided to try. Not only were the leads absolutely gorgeous in it, it was just so whimsical in a way that many posters haven't been recently. But my interest was piqued due to probably one of the best promo posters of the year so far. I kind of laughed at the concept because it was just ridiculous. The odd thing is now the girl has super senses in her ability to see smells, hence the title, and the boy is one without any senses at all. The concept was kind of vague and weird: a girl and a boy meets by (the dreaded) fate due to a murder in their past. And for all the stupidity happening in the drama, The Girl Who Sees Smells moved my heart just a tad more than I'm personally comfortable of dealing with.Īs basically any drama that I have watched this year, The Girl Who Sees Smells is a drama I have no clue what it would be about. But I have a feeling this drama might be one of the more memorable dramas of the year, at least in the couples category. This drama took over my life the past 2 months.
