Jae Hee catches Cho Rim reading Doctor Chun’s letter and asks what she’s doing? Cho Rim crumples up the letter and hides it behind her back, explaining that she was just reading her dialogue to prepare because she’s nervous. Detective Yeom also needs to have triple duty protection around Cho Rim instead of allowing her to wander off alone, at this point the girl needs to be under lock and key, preferably chained to her boyfriend’s side. I wish the cops had some excuse to jail Jae Hee now and look for evidence later, which is anathema to all my due process procedural drilling, but for the sake of characters I love in this drama I’m willing to suspend proper protocol if it means getting him off the streets. But then again, the profile of a megalomaniacal serial killer usually includes being too cocky and wanting recognition for his smarts in killing people without being caught outright. Part of me thinks Jae Hee wants or is ready to be caught, why else would he blatantly goad Moo Gak and play word games with him. I am torn on how the drama dealt with the fallout reveal, the usual bouts of distance and noble idiocy, but thankfully Moo Gak getting over the issues beyond his control quicker than Cho Rim. Frankly speaking, this drama didn’t exactly have secrets that people were intentionally keeping, it was just a series of major coincidences that tie characters together in ways they didn’t know about initially. This episode of The Girl Who Sees Smellsmight as well be titled “he knows, she knows, they all know, everyone knows, so now what?” I feel the drama has enough gas in the tank to propel the remainder of the narrative without deflating now that the secrets are out of the bag.
