意思
To be quick and accurate at noticing details or differences.
文化背景
In traditional Korean arts, 'stealing with the eyes' was the primary way to learn. Masters rarely explained techniques verbally, making '눈썰미' the most important trait for a successful student. K-pop idols are often praised for their '눈썰미' when they can learn a 3-minute choreography in just one or two viewings. It is considered a mark of a 'pro' idol. In Korea, noticing small changes in others (hair, clothes, mood) is a way of showing 'Jeong' (affection). Having '눈썰미' makes you a more considerate and liked friend. In a society where subtle cosmetic procedures are common, having '눈썰미' is often jokingly discussed as the ability to spot who had 'work done' even if it's very natural.
The Ultimate Compliment
If you want to make a Korean person feel skilled, use '눈썰미가 보통이 아니시네요' (Your sharp eye is no joke). It's one of the best compliments for a craftsman or artist.
Not for Books
Don't use this for someone who is good at studying for exams. It sounds strange. Use '공부를 잘하다' or '머리가 좋다' instead.

Dropping the Particle
In casual conversation, just say '눈썰미 좋다!' (Sharp eye!). It sounds much more natural and enthusiastic than using the full sentence.

Yes, it's a very polite compliment if you use honorifics: '부장님은 정말 눈썰미가 좋으시네요.'
