Do I love Namgoong too much?
Alright I will be straight with you, I got to the point when watching this I was just rooting for the killer to win...I don’t know if it’s mainly because I am fond of the actor taking the majority of reasoning to why but this is just how it is....I can understand/accept the sort of halfway they made investigations at times because it can be relatively straight forward and not too contradictory...
The romance. I didn’t get it. I completely bewildered in why she could be interested in such a guy and to why a guy so obsessed with his sister being killed how he can be nonchalant about her being the reason it actually happened to the point they hit it off. Honestly he always has no faith in her eyes despite the fact she proven him time and again until someone else mentions something or she forces him to listen in some way that often relies on her being in danger or something non benefiting.
Plus that kiss they share in the apartment and she runs away....She is 23 (?) that was their second kiss even if you consider it a more serious one at that age no matter how naive you are the way she reacted was too ott (what is she? 12?) and him too boorish. Plus that forced fake dating, non date where the first one happens....Ughh
I just can’t see it working it out, it seems so utterly forced, that if you told me he faked loving her to use her for her ability , I wouldn’t really blink in surprise or anything but nonchalantly say “oh”
I loved the acting from the doctor but well he died....Then the well beloved chef obviously loved all his scenes and the built up tension he displayed, the cold collectiveness and the reserved smile...If anything he became the backbone to the whole story for me, his parts seemed the only ones that seemed in-depth and actually had detail
I don’t know if it merely the actors strength that gave it value but I would not be surprised if that’s the case...Because after all that was built up to become a lame excuse “I choose who lives and dies” ......How...Unpowerful for a character with face blindness...That reasoning just undermines all the actors work to define a character because as soon as they were said even such a great character had no value...
Honestly the writer could of made use of the journals he made his victims write swirled in with face blindness like making them write such a thing gave them an identity. I mean to someone with face blindness everyone is a stranger even the people you could refer to as close too whether it be family or friend, that killing came from the frustration or fear from such a isolating thing because to him what difference would a death make? He can’t see their presence to begin with so it could of given him a jaded idea of existence itself....Plus was victim 00 ever found? It’s just so lackluster to how it could of been
I skipped to see the ending and just gave up, I was only sticking around for the killer and he died, the romance meant nothing to me, the fact the mc she gave up on her dream to be a comedian though honestly it was random to why she wanted to be one in the first place. Plus she just became his sniffer dog and doesn’t even have a honeymoon....Work obsessed and all that with others benefiting from her ability and taking credit despite her figuring it out step by step all on her own in the majority of cases...Honestly ironically she had more heartwarming moments and tender moments with the killer rather then her love interest but she just blurts out his name during thoose scenes to express how impossible it is...

Promising but poorly executed.
The concept starts off with an interesting premise that could have been developed into an intriguing story. However, it starts to get very shallow after a while, with very little depth to the ideas, boring cliches, one-dimensional characters and predictable plot twists. The series should have ended with 8 or 10 episodes at max, they just dragged it out and made it utterly predictably boring after a few episodes.Aside from the bad guy, no one else appears to have any intelligence and the outcomes of most episodes are laughable. Namkoong Min does a good job as always, he's debonair, smart and intelligent and stands out from the rest of the cast so much that he's out of place. But the police? They are portrayed as so inept and lacking intelligence that it's laughable. Park Yoo Chun, playing detective Moo Tak in a role that's so siloed, dumbed down, irritating and lacking intelligence it's impossible not to cheer for the bad guy. Detective Yeom Mi's role is a little more nuanced and you can afford to be a little more patient with her but her potential is severely wasted. The FL's role on the other hand was better cast and played - she's supposed to be a simple character without much depth, and you go in with very little expectation about her intelligence and abilities. To that end, she was not bad.
However, after a few episodes, it became so irritating that I stopped watching. I feel this drama does a lot of injustice to the capability and skills of a stellar screen personality like Namkoong Min - if you really want to see him shine, look at My Dearest, Hot Stove League, Awaken, Good Manager, or even a lighthearted comedy like Beautiful Gong Shim where he shines.

Чудесатая способность видеть запахи, как ни прикольно это не звучало, сериалу не мешает. Отдельно спасибо второстепенному касту. Сплоченная команда полицейских жизнь отдаст друг за друга, комедийный театрик самодеятельности расширит горизонты.
И тут отличная музыка.
и успокою всех - роман детектива с Еленой Васильевной Шивановой закончится сакральным "Я люблю тебя" сказанный в унисон на обоих языках.
