The tables are finally set for the upcoming SBS Wed-Thurs drama Sensory Couple, aka The Girl Who Sees Smells, and the question is whether the audience will take a seat at the table. Just as Hyde, Jekyll, Me rounds the corner on episode 12, leaving only 8 episodes remaining before my Hyun Bin is freed from captivity, SBS can breathe a sigh of relief that the follow up dramas has its leads at long last. Yoochun and Shin Se Kyung are officially confirmed for the drama, making it one expected casting with one last minute arrival. Whether it works or not, let’s all keep our fingers-crossed since I don’t want to write off yet another drama before it even airs.
Sensory Couple is adapted from a popular webtoon, much like its predecessor Hyde, Jekyll, Me, and like that production has also elected to change the drama title from the original webtoon title. All the make it more confusing to search around for source material is my take. Sensory Couple tells the healing romance of a girl who develops the supernatural ability to see smells after surviving a serial killer attack a few years ago with a cop who has lost the ability to feel anything after losing his younger sister to the same serial killer. Shin Se Kyung is making a niche for herself as the healer of broken men after Blade Man, while Yoochun is similarly doing his third turn as a drama law enforcement officer.
Directing Sensory Couple is the PD who did Tazza, Pumpkin Flower, and Dream while the screenwriter has more famous works under his belt having written Rooftop Prince, Yawang, Bad Family (one of my faves!), and Successful Story of a Bright Girl. I’ve already opined on Shin Se Kyung’s acting ability (or limitations/lack thereof) so no need to rehash it, whereas Yoochun works for me playing in brighter roles like Rooftop Prince and not at all playing brooding lovelorn romeos like in Missing You. Visually these two would be quite eye-catching together, and acting ability aside, this one really needs massive chemistry between them to work. This pairing doesn’t make me all that excited but with a good story and couple chemistry there’s a possibility it could click for me.
So this is the drama trolly producer Yu Zheng recently praised as better than Goblin…

Can just sigh ..............
After that drama with Song Seung Heon, I don't really like SSK, and the drama doesn't sound that good to me but who knows..
One word..."sad." SSK just doesn't do it for me. I've long given up hope.
I guess I could say, at least, I can look forward to seeing YC on screen again.
She was cute in blade man, not the best but cute, bright and most important NOT ANNOYING AS HELL. So I'm kinda fine with her after that drama, disappointed it's not Kim Ji Won but I am relieved it's her not someone else... so I can at least check the first episode.
Why SSK always get roles even though there are many actress who's better than her. I was hoping for Kim Ji-Won because there was a rumour about her cast. She would be perfect. Waiting for her to take a lead role.
whenever I see KJW name somewhere my heart skips a beat, damn it, how much longer do i have to wait ;_;
Well she seemed to get this role bc no one else wanted to take it. Same with Blade Man. I don't think the industry believes Kim Ji Won had enough star power to lead a drama :( she obviously does have the skills.
I'm glad jiwon didn't accept the role,, I want her with jongsuk tbh,...this drama is out of my waiting list,,I need woobin and jongsuk asap.
Let's hope Woo Bin accepts the Jejudo Gatsby role.
lolol........... good luck
Wow... interesting. can't wait to see this drama... I really appreciate SSK act in movie Tazza, and with Yoochun as partner, it will daebak. SSK act improve a lot. In Blade Man, she can show cheerful n lovely character. So I want to see her act again. The storyline of this drama already catch my attention... so this is going to be my list.
Yeh, I agree. I like SSK as cheerful character. Maybe she suit this kind character more. I managed to finish Blade Man because of this.
Yeah... the harsh comment makes people judge unfairly somehow and sometime... so for SSK, I prefer to see the drama first, and then give my comment about the act of her. I do so for yoochun.
SSK is still bad @ctress, slightly better in bl@de m@n but still bad...just less terrible
like your nightmare comes true.... T__T
After threatening us with Suzy and JSY for leading lady even if the second one was false, Shin Se Kyung seems.......not so bad?
Lol I agree! This doesn't seem bad at all! ...
Honestly though... I'm only excited for Jejudo Gatsby. So I'm happy she accepted this first, and JG's script didn't float her way. Lol I'm terrible... Still worried though that Suzy or Jin Seyeon, or god forbid another idol, will grab it. >___<.
