Unique K-drama worthy of binging.
I initially started watching with some bias because I don't like idols acting - they usually don't convey much emotion. However, I love Got7 so I was excited to watch it, and it was surprisingly good. The beginning had a great hook to keep me watching, and the length of the drama wasn't so dragged out that I would lose interest. The plot developed at a steady pace, not focusing too much on one scene.The plot was the best part - it was unique, still brought in classic cliches without making me cringe, and had an air of suspense. This reminded me of sherlock, or the good Doctor, as in having supernatural capabilities that allow them to solve issues magically.
The two main actors, Park Jinyoung and Shin YeEun, were cute, had great chemistry, and did a decent job acting. I was touched at the part where Lee Ahn broke down in the apartment after finding out the truth - the emotions he showed was amazing.
The aspect that caught me off guard was the side-story of Kim Kwon and DaSom. Sungmo's emotional conflict was fittingly complex to give the story dimension that we don't usually see in K-dramas. I felt hurt with Jisoo, and concern for Sungmo knowing he cares about her but also has so much difficulty opening up and showing emotion. At the scene where Jisoo dies in Sungmo's arms, I was completely heartbroken and I also saw so much development in Sungmo's character by then.
Highly recommend this drama to anyone looking for a non-cliche detective/suspense drama that still has fluffy cute parts.
As a final note, why can't the main actors like actually kiss? I felt so uncomfortable watching that fake kiss (another reason why I dislike Idols acting)

What an intriguing drama
I wanted to watch He Is Psychometric because I liked the storyline of a boy who goes through a tragic incident and gains the ability to see the past of an object or person that he touches. I also wanted to watch it because Park Jin Young was a lead and I like GOT7. I was not disappointed, he's one of the best idol actors I've seen so far.Throughout the series I was captivated by the story and its twist and turns. I especially enjoyed watching the growth of Jinyoung's character Lee Anh. He went from being kinda dumb and directionless to being focused on honing his Psychometric skills and growing into an amazing young man.
Potential spoiler coming up
I really liked the chemistry between Lee Anh and Yoon Jai In (Shin Ye Eun) as besties however I wasn't convinced by their romance. Their chemistry kinda fizzled in my opinion when the romantic scenes came up. It seemed like the script writers wanted them to date but kind of forgot about them as a couple when the mystery of the tragic events of their childhoods heated up. I think they should've either had the 2 main leads break up and remain friends or have them as just close friends. Not all dramas need their ML and FL lead to be lovers, this shouldn't be forced if there's no chemistry.
I liked the acting of the rest of the cast and their storylines. At times He Is Psychometric is a tearjerker. I thought 16 episodes was a good amount of time and I never felt like the story was dragging.
I'll likely watch He Is Psychometric again in a few years. I enjoyed the OST, especially JUS2 Take even though it's very different from their other music. I'm going to watch other shows with Jinyoung in them and I'm looking forward to watching Devil Judge.

The writers and the story could have done without the romance for sure, it was so unnecessary, the story is great but romance is stupid. I loved the story line but i wish people will make more authentic stories that don't contain love all the time. Let's at least get a story where the man guy or girl doesn't always have to get a love of his life as a sidekick or isn't romantically involved

Had some sort of potential but ultimately fails to make sense
Story (esp ending):The ending was a huge letdown. It just doesn't make sense to me... Sung mo's thought process was to kill someone because they are going to be killed anyways while trying to frame 'that man' (the stalker dad), wearing Jae In's fathers jacket. Oh and also that the more people dead the better so that the police will investigate? Corrupt police gonna stay corrupt until exposed, they will (or try) hide cases no matter the size. Could have left it as a abuse storyline but the writers decided to try to do a 'shock plot twist' with him actually being a murderer.
Romance:
Was okay... I guess Ahn was a guy who likes kissing. Their storyline was sorta cliche... And Dae Bong and So Hyun's one was useless imo, didn't add anything to the drama.
I feel that if they just stuck to the psychometric part of the story & developed it the drama would be more worth watching. The first few eps up to ep 8/9 was fun to watch but then I lost interest with another drama. Skipped throughout the eps to reach the ending.
Acting:
Main leads were alright. Didn't have high expectations for this drama so didn't expect a lot from the acting. Didn't know of jinyoung/ seen him perform so no prejudice from that. He did good tho, had a natural vibe which I love. He suits the cheery boy vibe.

The ending ruined it for me
I really enjoyed most of the series and even the twist that Song Mo is the culprit but I felt like he deserved better. After everything that he went thru, he shouldn’t be locked up again. I wanted him to be truly free and live a happy life with his mum. It just so heartbreaking to lock him up once again, hence the low rating from me.In terms of romance, I dun really see the chemistry between the leads, in fact I see more between FL and Song Mo, or even the bromance between Lee Ahn and Song Mo was better. It felt kinda forced and it would have been better to develop a romantic storyline between FL and Song Mo as there could be conflict there with a father in prison due to what he’s done and it could show how they both choose to stand by one another. With Lee Ahn, it seems like pure fluff.

What would you do to protect the one you love? This drama revolves around Lee An, Jae In, Seung Mo, and Sueng Mo's mother. The story starts with an apartment fire that greatly affects all the main characters within the story, and continues to follow their lives many years later to show their lives after the incident. There are a lot of side characters, and even though it says the main ML is Jinyoung's character, it centers instead on Seung's Mo's underlying tragic life story. Be ready for some twists and turns on this one. The writer's took their time revealing the whole picture bit by bit through Le An's psychometric abilities and you're at the mercy of his journey.
Jinyoung's and Kim Kwon's acting is on par for this one and really carried the drama, but the FL felt a tad unreachable to me. The OST is lovely, but should have been used more. The plot line had a few holes in it and seemed to lack something I just couldn't put my finger on. I did enjoy the twist and turns and that the second villain admitted to his wrong doings. The ending felt a little lackluster after all the puzzle pieces were finally put in place, but this was also one of those drama's where the second half was much better than the first. Everything was there for a near perfect drama formula, but something got lost along the way.
All in all, I really wanted to like this one more than I did, but it felt reminiscent of Kill It and Memorist, both of which felt like they were missing something. I would still recommend giving it a try if you're in for a mystery/thriller and light romance type drama.

wasted potential
This drama had so much potential but it kept floundering. One scene reminded me of Flower of Evil. A storyline reminded me of a famous book/movie (won't reveal the name because that will give away the plot I'm referring to). So, yeah, there was potential to be something very interesting but I found myself rapidly losing interest.......only stayed till the end to see the lead couple's romance progression...lolI think this was one of the first things of Shin Ye Eun's that I watched. I find her utterly charming and cute. Looking forward to more of her.

It was great
A great drama to watch. The story line was great but it felt like things were moving in slow motion. With the last 3 episodes alluding to how it may have been Sung- Mo to it actually being Sung-Mo made it kind of feel like a drag. Though I may be a little biased in giving the storyline less then 10 because I’m still angry they made us love Sung- Mo for being a lifesaver then hate him for being the reason lives had to be saved. I wouldn’t rewatch it because after the fact this is probably my least favorite drama simply because when I finish one I usually go “What am I gonna do now? I don’t want it to be over”, but this drama made me wanna take a good nap and find something amazing to watch after.Was this review helpful to you?
Overall, this isn't your romance drama, it is a psychological thriller more so than a romance and I am not disappointed. Each character and the acting of the senior actors (Jeon Mi Seon and Lee Sung Joon) really complimented the rookie actors (Shin Yeeun and Park Jinyoung). I just felt that the plot was too jarring, the first half is a DRAMATIC contrast to the second half of the drama.
If you were like me, an ahgase who also watched A-teen, you will not be disappointed.

For me the story was not developed well enough, especially in the first half. If I didn’t watch the ending and conclusion, I probably would give the story 6/10, but the ending was really satisfying and makes me understand their decision better regarding the first half, that’s why it gets 7.5/10. I still wish they develop the story better in the first half.
There were several issues that I really dislike that’s really prominent during the first half. One of them is the lack of psychometric used, I mean this is supposed to be a series about somebody with psychometric abilities, but he barely used it, like almost never. Yes it could be part of the development, but I don’t think that’s the best way to go about it. Another thing I really dislike is how incompetent the series make the police look, other than Eun Ji Soo and even she’s not that great. I also really dislike how stupid and immature they make Lee Anh character. I mean he’s supposed to be in his early twenties, victim of trauma and tragedy, but he’s literally made into a puppy, a stupid one at that.
Other than those really annoying things, the plot was great. I really the curve ball they threw by midway point, when they main plot start to really be revealed. I also love all the relationship between each characters, they are so entangled and complicated once they revealed what really happen in the past. Really love the ending, it’s so satisfying and rewarding, I wish they make a 2nd season because I want to see them all again in a better setting.
The cast for this show is great, they all acted their character perfectly. Kim Won as Kang Sung Mo stands out the most for me. He portray Sung Mo’s troubled character so well, he’s brotherly love to Lee Anh also come across so naturally but awkwardly, which is perfect. Park Jin Young as Lee Anh also portray the character well, I just wish they develop the character a bit more. Shin Ye Eun as Yoon Jae In was very lovable, her character is portrayed and developed very well. We could see the vulnerability but also the steel resolve she has. All the other casts are also great, even the supporting casts.
I love the music for the series. There are 3 songs that I have been keep playing in my list, ‘With You’ (by Promm), ‘Wake’ (by JUS2) and this is my favorite ’Shadows on the Wall’ (by Janet Suhh). I also really like how they always show what happens in 2005, when the fire happen in the apartment, in the first 5 minutes of a new episode. It keep on build up your knowledge on what happen in the past. I don’t think I will rewatch this series anytime soon, because once you know the twist the series lack anything interesting.
