The Girl Who Sees Smells
TV Show • 2015 • Comedy
ReportThree years ago, Choi Moo Gak was mysteriously entangled in the "Barcode" murder case, resulting in not only the death of his sister, but also in the loss of most of his senses. While unearthing the cold case, Moo Gak crosses paths with Oh Cho Rim, a fellow victim who gained the synesthetic ability to see smells, but lost all of her memories prior to the incident. Moo Gak and Cho Rim combine their strange powers to track down the culprit, but are they ready to confront the truth?

There is no on-screen abuse but later in the show it is assumed/speculated that the serial killer was abused as a child.

Although the bar-code like marks the killer leaves on their victims are reminiscent of self-harm wounds in placement and appearance.

There is at least one fat joke in conversation, and a brief scene at the end of episode 15 that looks like it’s supposed to be a veiled fat joke.

The usual suspects such as “crazy”, “insane”, “stupid” etc are used in the sub. There is also usage of the words “lame” and “blind”.
Cho-rim gets called degrading insults several times because of her eye condition and she is deeply ashamed of it. The serial killer is assumed to have been abused as a child - which is an ableist stereotype.

The serial killer cuts bar-code like markings into their victims’ wrists. It is bloody and the process is sometimes shown on screen, the resulting wounds are always shown.

While mostly shots are fired into the air or the locks of several doors, a character gets shot in the torso in the beginning of episode 15. The entry wound is bleeding and shown on-camera.

1. Although a body does get found in a river, but it is revealed they didn’t die from drowning.
2. In a flashback, the male protagonist is shown fainting while he is diving in a large aquarium tank. He loses his senses as a result from this accident. He is otherwise not injured.

since people are stalked, they are also wathed without them knowing.
in episode three there is a scene where someone stands in front of a see through mirror making sounds and faces, not knowing that someone standing on the other side can see him through it. it can be uncomfortable to watch, but it's mostly funny.

These might not necessarily count as struggling to breathe, but it is directly related to breathing. 1. Cho-rim willingly inhales chloroform fumes at about the halfway mark and faints.
2. Lieutenant Yeom breathes in a gas/analgesic at the very end of the episode. It causes her to stop breathing, and she loses consciousness. Moo-gak and Detective Ye enter the room shortly after and have to hold their breaths/cover their noses and mouths to shield themselves from the gas.

Altho I would argue that the aquarium that Moo-gak has for his jellyfish is not at all appropriate for the species.
