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.

Happy Birthday Shin Sae Kyeong!!🎂

yes

Nothing really stands out in this drama except for the male lead’s looks. It was obvious he was going to be one of the most booked actors in the next few years. Honestly, with a face like that, he doesn’t even need to act, but he’s actually pretty decent!

I gotta stick up for the female lead. Once again, it seems many can't tell the difference between the acting and the character. Her acting’s totally fine, she’s just playing the role she was given. But yeah, she doesn’t look super natural, and she’s not exactly what you'd expect from a typical K-drama lead. Great body, but her face isn’t quite heroine-level, so it feels a bit weird when everyone keeps calling her a stunning beauty.

The whole drama (plot, characters, actors) is kind of medicore. Not bad, but definitely one of those shows you watch when you’ve run out of better stuff.

I prefer this kind of realistic characters. Most people aren’t born strong or perfect. They grow through their struggles, and that’s exactly what happens with this character. I enjoy shows that focus on ordinary women, where they’re not just there to make an unrealistically perfect man look even better, but are truly the leads, facing real-life problems and showing relatable behavior. Both lead actresses were fantastic and had great chemistry. I was already a fan of Lee Yo-won, but Choo Ja-hyun was a great discovery for me!

thank you for the link. it was interesting.
