Someone at SBS drama planning clearly can’t count, how else to explain the timing of the mid-drama press conference being held this past week? The Girl Who Sees Smells just aired episode 12 with four more episodes to go, making it a few weeks late to try and drum up publicity and interest in the drama. With that said, I really do adore the drama which is a godsend for me, coming on the heels of the indescribably bad Hyde, Jekyll, Me experience. It’s like a solid sweet boyfriend after the last trainwreck hot mess relationship.
But the ratings for Smelly Girl have been less than sweet even in this era of low ratings all around. It’s a shame because the OTP romance is delightful and one of the better drama rom-com perfected pairings in years. The police procedural is the biggest weakness, but made up in part by having a stellar villain who delivers the heebie jeebies by the boatload. It’s also nice that I’ve finally found a Yoochun and Shin Se Kyung performance to love, even if this ends up being the only time at least I’m loving it while it lasts.

wow! the best hair style for Yoochun.. He looks good ^^
YC and SSK look good, together and apart. love the drama, it's really addicting in some way but not in a way that suffocate you .
are the ratings really not that good? that's a shame cause it deserve a decent one. i agree with you ms. koala this OTP and the rom com is one of the better in those years. not to mention NGM is killing it with his creepy villain role.
for me this is by far the most favorite role of yoochun (IN SKS he was cute but still raw, didn't watch miss ripley and i miss you, dropped 3 days cause it was too boring and while i loved him in RP too, i think his role in smelly girl is more interesting).
aww.. Yoochun, uber cute! My heart goes weak seeing his smile
The ratings is suffering maybe because they against Unkind Woman and Angry Mom which both also very good dramas. Audiences must be really happy to see so many good dramas nowadays. It's shame that ratings always the first indication of success or not of a program.
Maybe by the ed of Angry Mom, the ratings would increased at least to the second.
Just recently got into this drama and I'm looovvvvinggg it! Yoo Chun and Se Kyung are so adorable together!
I think the ratings are suffering because Unkind Women was already a strong competitor. This show has at least maintained 2 position for most if its run and it's not worse in these days when ratings can reach even 3%.
It actually was 3rd in most of its run with Angry Mom, but Angry Mom is doing around there as well like 7%ish. Sensory Couple dropped to 6%ish recently. And to be fair, those recent episodes were horrible, so can see why the drop.
They really were bad. There's bumbling cop, and then there is about twenty coincidences too many and the cops and heroes behaving like they are literally too stupid to live - I mean, you knock out a serial killer and then leave him untied without any supervision? You let a killer know that you are onto his plan instead of arresting him for bugging a police phone? What even.
What is the rating now?
I just realised, yoochun has a nice teeth...the symmetry and shape is good...
and the hairstyle completely can bring different vibe: with bang-normal person, gel hair-celebrity with strong aura
I'm sure I'm not the only one watching for Nam Goong Min. So cute with the glasses! So creepy when being the villain!
He's so handsome and cute when he's not being murderous that I actually feel even more scared of him when he goes into killer mode. He makes a great villain!
I used to be so excited when it was a Smelly Girl day, but unfortunately, the writer has eroded most of my enthusiasm for the show. I don't know how he can be good at writing such wonderful OTP scenes, and then suck so badly when it comes to the investigation scenes. Even JH is doing some really stupid things these days, but I don't blame him-- I blame the writer. Luckily, the OTP is still delightful.
yeah, OTP >>>>>>> everything else about this show.
The ratings were rising every week for the first few weeks so I think it definitely stalled because the writing went downhill.
