However, Girl Who Can See Smells has played host to some superb cinematography from fast paced action to beautiful romantic scenes. This leaves the characters and dramatic plots to push the drama forward. It’s a pretty standard expectation in dramas for there not to be any fancy camera work. There is one aspect that I have not addressed yet while reviewing this drama that has added to the superb creation of it. This decision doesn’t seem to absolve him of the hole in his heart as he proclaims later that he still feels ‘uneasy’ when Jae-hee is in police custody. Although Moo-gak’s character stalls between wrong and right, choosing to shoot instead, he astoundingly doesn’t take the shot to kill Jae-hee but instead chooses to shoot to wound. The camera shot was framed brilliantly, enhancing Yoo-chun’s emotional eyes that show Moo-gak trying to control his anger. You can see the gears turning in his head as he fights between doing the right thing, arresting Jae-hee or the ‘wrong’ thing, killing him. All this development compounds into the one moment when he catches up to the fleeing Jae-hee. He is no longer the detective solely focused on revenge. However, his character has been undergoing development from the very beginning, slowly gaining a resemblance to the carefree young man he once was. Moo-gak has declared from the very beginning that he will not rest until he kills the barcode murderer. With Yeon-mi safe, Moo-gak sets his sights on the fleeing Jae-hee. I bet everyone finally let out the breath they were holding when Moo-gak and the other detective burst through the door. It plays out as Moo-gak, with the help of Cho-rim, locates Yeon-mi just in time to save her from suffocating. The drama is riddled with astounding plot twists, anger-fueled confrontations and tension-filled bargains, as all the characters sought out the ending they want at incredibly high stakes it is make or break for the investigation, Jae-hee’s agenda and Yeon-mi’s life. Becoming the key to catching Jae-hee in the act, the detective team desperately tries to locate her before her time is up. The writer has saved up the most intense story arc for the ending with Detective Yeon-mi tricking Jae-hee into thinking she was Cho-rim and getting kidnapped instead of her. This drama has done its job of keeping viewers enraptured from start to finish incredibly well. Girl Who Can See Smells has met its end with possibly more thrills and nail biting moments than I could handle.
