![]() Those faces Moogak make scream ‘pinch my cheeks’ (seriously how have I not noticed how pinchable Yoochun’s cheeks are? Must be the saeguk hats)Ĭontinue reading “The Girl Who Sees Smells Episodes 13-15 Review (and all hail Lieutenant Yeom)” → Moogak and Chorim are adorbs as always now that we’ve gotten the obligatory angst brought on by the revelations of everyone’s pasts out of the way. The disconnect between the rom-com and crime aspects of this show are even most noticeable in these episodes though. ![]() Ah well, it’s not like I’m watching this show for crime procedural accuracy. Subtle differences, yet they could have been realized another way, instead of milking the same ending over and over again. In the first cliffhanger we had Jaehee finding Chorim at the worst time possible, in the second we had him confronting whom he knew to be Choi Eunseol, in the third we have him beginning to put the whole Chorim = Eunseol equation together. It was a rather foolish move on the writer’s part even if I do get what she’s going after. So about those three cliffhangers of ‘Oh no! It’s Chorin and Jaehee, save her someone!” in a row. I can understand Jaehee accepting the offer late, but not the cops and Chorim waiting this long to make the offer.Ĭontinue reading “The Girl Who Sees Smells Episode 14 Review (and YOU’RE OUT OF TIME)” → Instead, they wait three days to concoct a plan. There’s no way he could have stashed her elsewhere and run over to his house in time for Moogak to barge in (again). Which we already knew judging by the duration between Yeom Mi’s disappearance and the drive to Jaehee’s house. The perfume bit that I thought was going to be Yeom Mi’s ticket out was wasted in this episode as it only served to confirm that Jaehee has Lieutenant Yeom stashed somewhere in his place. Now can we get a handle and save Lieutenant Yeom? Yes? Truthfully, we truly only have enough material for 12 episodes in this show, and honestly, if they’d kept it that way (a la Liar Game though I yearn for more on that end) this could have been a stellar show, instead we’re treating to montages of our favourite duo of bumbling cops who are great as people but incredibly frustrating as cops, and Chorim and Moogak having arguments and brushing hair gently off the other’s forehead. Get out there and plan something, anything! It’s when the writing fails like this for the sake of stretching the plot a few episodes further that I get really, really irritated. You don’t have the hours or minutes to sit, sleep, worry or cry. This episode was ridiculously frustrating to watch and they all boiled down the same reason. I’m still sort of scared of you which means you’ve done your job.Ĭontinue reading “The Girl Who Sees Smells Finale Review (and I seriously love you Nam Goongmin)” → You played a villain with layers, despite those layers being ignored. Regardless of where the show went, you remained consistent and really likeable. Oh Nam Goongmin you have earned yourself a lifelong fan. Having said that, I’ll remain mum on the subject of faults and focus on the good points. We had more than enough time to address all the issues this netizen mentioned, including Yeom Mi’s father’s death, but they were curiously glossed over, hence the start unsatisfying ending. We had random mushy talk, and minutes and minutes of our lead couple being cute to the point where I cheered when Jaehee appeared. I mean, this show got bloated, crazy, crazy bloated (and it’s only 16 episodes!). So it’s rather sad to send it off with a ‘meh’ on my end. The murder, the escape, her accident within just five minutes into the episode had me hooked instantly. ![]() This drama honestly started off with a bang. I could write a better drama than this ㅡㅡ”Ī thousand times, yes, random netizen. there’s no reality at all and nothing to tie it all together. Why is a new episode being introduced in the final episode? There’s only so much the viewer can pass off as being a drama. Why did Kwon Jae Hee become a murderer, why did he want to take so many lives, what happened at the adoption, who killed his foster parents, did Oh Jae Pyo resolve his questions, how did Kwon Jae Hee survive the car being drowned in the Han river when everyone else died, how did he know that the interior was copied from the model house. “Never in my life have I seen such an unresolved final episode. This netizen’s comment (pulled from netizenbuzz) summarizes everything I felt about our final couplet of episodes. This show was so ridiculously stretched beyond belief that I’m glad for the sake of everyone involved that it’s over. And Nam Goongmin has been freed at last! I’m not going to lie, I felt nothing upon today’s conclusion. ![]()
