He is Psychometric (2019)

Worth every second

Wow! I was feeling all the emotions I was meant to be feeling at exactly the right times: I was laughing when they wanted me too and crying buckets seconds later.

Sure, I admit it, I originally only watched this for Jinyoung (and partly because the idea of psychometry sounded cool) but I'm glad I watched it for many more reasons than that now. The storyline played out beautifully, everything happened right when it should and there was never a moment where I felt bored or thought something should happen differently or not happen at all. I became really invested in the characters which is a testament to everyone's acting abilities and I thought for this reason that the casting was spot on.

Although I loved everything about it I feel like I should add that i'm glad I originally wanted to watch it for Jinyoung because his acting was amazing and he really added to the overall perfection of the show

The first eight episodes is like romantic comedy, the main lead is aloof and very silly
The last 8 episodes is more serious, zero comedy, thriller, suspense, mystery, anything can happen
There is also plenty of twists, one big twist near the end, my best advice is don't try to predict whats going to happen next for you to enjoy this
The actors acted out everything on point, I feel they all did an excellent job, especially the lead male actor, he was on point
The cast is likable, An, Jae In, An's Brother Seong Mo
Music is just right, not like omg so good put on repeat but sounds good
The pace is not bad, slow at times but it wasn't boring, story keeps going

This drama worth watching, dont try to predict the plot and it will be a fun ride, i promise you that much, dont try to predict it !

Totally different than I expected

I know some people may find this rating too high; I’m not saying it was completely flawless or the best show ever made, but to me subjectively it was perfect and I loved it.

I expected this to be a lighthearted, comedy adventure. It started off being immediately both darker and more emotional than I was prepared for. I was already emotional for Lee Ahn in the first episode, and tearing up for him by the second episode. This show was definitely still cute and quirky and funny in the beginning (and in moments throughout, but the overall tone got way darker.) I love how much Lee Ahn and Jae In’s relationship progressed- it couldn’t start off much worse. Lee Ahn’s phone call, that made him seem like the pervert, was hilariously and perfectly unfortunate.

I loved all the leads of this show, though I know Seung Mo is definitely a controversial character. I was surprised by how dark and twisted this show went with his backstory. When I first watched the ending, I wasn’t sure how to feel about it, but now I think it’s fitting. I think that morally gray characters, that the audience roots for, often surprise us by choosing the good side and being redeemed. But now I’ve kind of come to expect that- so I was pretty shocked with the route they took with Seung Mo. I think we aren’t meant to think he’s “just a monster like his father” though. He may really be a monster, but he feels guilt, and wants to be good...that was my take on it at least.

I think the show managed to create very complex characters that I could analyze forever. Almost never before has such a seemingly lighthearted show impacted me this much. He Is Psychometric ended up being very intense, emotional, philosophical and metaphorical, and I’m so glad I gave it a try.

First of all,I want to start by saying that this has been some of the best acting I've ever seen in kdrama...and then I find out this guy is an idol!My main issue here is that this started as a comedy-fiction show with a bit of romance and a darker back story and episode after episode,I couldn't wait to see what happens next.After about episode 6 things escalated into a sad,really dark mess I wasn't ready to watch...nor was I interested in this instance and therefore I got bored.Also,the main couple was kind of unnecessary to exist in my opinion later on in the series as it only looked cute and believable during their school years.Later on, the main characters seemed more like good friends and this is why the romance felt forced.

If the idol actor stigma is what is keeping you from watching He is Psychometric, I really think you should give it a go and decide for yourself if Park JinYoung and Dasom are able to 100% deliver alongside a well-rounded and experienced cast instead of disappearing into the background (obviously I believe they have done an excellent job). There are also quite a few strong anti-heroes in this drama as well, which was an idea that I thoroughly enjoyed because it really brought more humanity to a story that could have been completely fantastical.

He is Psychometric is slow moving and romance based to begin with but speeds up around halfway once the depth of the relationships between all of the characters has been established. It also somehow manages to maintain its emotional depth despite this sudden plot speed increase. Arguably the romance could have been omitted but we would have likely been left with fickle 2D characters who had revenge as motivation and probably also a six-episode intense crime only drama, irrelevant characters and too many plot-holes - which is made abundantly clear in the final episode that this is not the story the writers wanted to tell.

Plot-wise for me it also became a bit too obvious about halfway what was going to happen next EXCEPT there is one question about Sung Mo that maintained the suspense until the very end.

Overall, the cast, plot and music was all delivered solidly, the messages were portrayed clearly and there left a lot of room for insight and personal interpretation. This team delivered a piece of work with a lead cast of anti-heroes which I really loved.
Music-wise – the music fits well with the drama, no complaints here.
There wasn't much I didn't like.
Would I re-watch it? Probably in around 5-6 years when I want to be reminded of just how differently people deal with their emotional scars.

Du fantastique, mais pas trop !

J’ai tout de suite accroché à ce drama ! Le suspens grandit au fur et à mesure des épisodes, et ce qui au départ pourrait paraître une histoire courue d’avance, va se révéler être beaucoup plus complexe que cela. Les acteurs sont géniaux que ce soit pour les personnages principaux, mais aussi pour les personnages secondaires. Je n’ai rien à dire de négatif sur cela. On s’attache très facilement aux personnages jusqu’à prendre leur histoire à cœur. Je trouve que le drama mélange bien la vie scolaire avec la vie d’adulte. Pour ceux qui n’aiment pas les histoires qui se déroulent au lycée, à partir du quatrième épisode, on suit les personnages dans leur vie d’adulte soit deux ans après le lycée. La majorité du drama se passe donc dans le monde des adultes. Moi qui suis une fan des dramas qui se passe dans un lycée, j’ai été ravi de pouvoir voir ces deux mondes différents dans un drama. J’ai adoré l’histoire d’amour principal. La façon dont le passé de chacun est développé au cours de l’histoire, par des récits ou des souvenirs de Lee Ahn qu’il a vu d’eux est tout simplement magnifique. Je trouvais qu’il y avait vraiment une vraie romance entre les deux personnages principaux. Je suis sûre que ce drama va te faire réfléchir sur beaucoup de choses ****(attention spoiler : notamment sur le fait qu’on puisse excuser les actes d’une personne ou non dû à son passé, mais aussi à quel point les actes présents ou passés de nos parents devraient influencer nos vies et le regard que porte les autres sur nous).****

Bref, je vous conseille ce drama!!

Oh god my tears. If you guys haven't seen this show yet; you're truly missing out. I kept telling myself I'm done with thriller shows, I'm tired of it freaking me out at night xD HAH; but this is a good one, it has the perfect amount of thriller, perfect amount of romance and just an all well put out story. I like Detective Eun the most; they call her the eye candy detective; I really liked Jinyoung's acting and I adored the chemistry he had with Shin Ye-Eun!!! They were so freaking cute together!!! This show is honestly so good; it's heart racing, heart aching and just a great show all around to watch and I'd be lying if I said you should miss out on it because you shouldn't, I don't know why I waited so long honestly because it's just that good. The acting is fantastic, the music isn't even half that bad and it's easy to just watch. You don't even feel the need to really skip through anything like that. 10/10, Def worth the watch. Still not a huge fan of Kim Kwon but whatevs. Lol.

One of my favourite dramas

I personally really loved the plot of this drama, and I think that its premise is very interesting. Though some may have seen the ending coming, I did not, and I felt that the ending was very satisfactory. I liked the balance of thriller and romance. I also really liked the acting, and I was surprised at idol Park Jin Young's acting ability, as I felt like he conveyed his character's personality well, and the way his character's experiences had affected him. I also felt that the other actors such as Kwon Kim and Kim Da Som did a very good job at conveying their characters' personalities. The OST is also very good, and I found myself listening to it on repeat for days after finishing the drama.

TLDR, I would recommend because of the great plot and the great acting.

boring but good story

●FIRST IMPRESSION
I felt a bit bored so I kind of dropped this at episode 3. after months I picked it up again and it still felt boring, with a budding romance angle because I wanted to see the psychometric power of ML, solving murder cases. So I skipped few scenes and in ep 6 it becomes interesting. when ML tries to uncover his power rather than to avoid it.

●PLOT VIEW
It was written nicely but had few flaws as there were too many flashbacks popping up. I also find this irritating that how each character zoned out once and blamed themselves for the mishap, if it was 1-2 characters then OK but so many saying “this is my fault” was annoying. It then takes a fast pace from the 6th ep and with that one murder case unfolding that how each character's past connection and pains. there were so many layers to one case unfolding so many previous cases showing the corrupted society who are selfish. the ending was good but the last tail of the case was it was like why did writers even come up with that YY angle if it didn't get the law punished.

●ACTING
It was pretty good and I likes Seung Mo and Lee An bromance. They were so natural like real brothers. Lee An goofiness suited Jin Young's face. Yoon Jae In and Eun Ji soo are the type of FL I like to see, strong smart, quick-witted, and fighter.

●MUSIC
"With You"OST is beautiful, obviously because of its English lyrics and subtle music. Others were beautiful too. I kind of liked the spooky BGM giving a ghostly vibe.

●QUOTES
>A person's memory is like a jumbled-up medicine cabinet, whether I pick up poison or an antidote, I can't tell until I swallow it.- Lee An
>He who fights against a monster must be careful not to become one himself. If I look into a monsters soul for too long, its soul will enter me too and see from within - Seung Mo
>We use every possible means to get over our painful experiences. But the scar remains and becomes an unerasable memory. It requires a lot of time to fade away- Lee An

Was really excited to see ACTOR PARK in action and taking on his first lead role in a 16 episode drama. With the announcement of the relationships of the cast, I did not expect this drama tilt towards the thriller component this much.

I would say the thriller/investigation vs. romance is a 85% to 15%.

The amount of dead bodies, bloody scenes is more than romance. And I would say the psycho portion makes one feels worst. Humans that don't react normally will scare the hell out of you and make you constantly live in fear more than the non-living things does. Reason, you have no idea "what's next".

Towards the end, when everything starts to sync and gave a major throwback. It makes sense but gives loads of goosebumps as a viewer. The impact of the sound effect and OST really make me sit on a emotional roller coaster throughout the drama.

Love how the drama has a little component of "happily ever after" but not everyone deserves that.
Kuddos to the writer.

Hope to see more ACTOR PARK in the future!
