Gah!!
Why show!?
I wanted to love you so much!!!
I was so excited to watch He is Psychometric once I read the synopsis. It had everything I love: action, romance, and something supernaturally special about it. I usually fall head over heels with this time of show, but I couldn't this time around for some reason.
Here's the breakdown...

Story 〆(・∀・＠): This is going to be extremely difficult since a large portion of the problems I have with this show are definitely spoiler worthy. So please excuse me if I sound a bit broad.
Not gonna lie, the story started extremely slow. It did an excellent job in building up the characters and their backstories, so I didn't necessarily mind it. Better get the boring stuff out of the way early, right? But after a few episodes went by with not that much progress, I did get a bit bored. It wasn't too bad, but it was a rough start.
Jumping from that, I'll admit that the second half get's more exciting. I never got tired of what was happening and was genuinely invested in where things were going. Even though I was interested, I didn't necessarily like where things ended up. I was more watching to see the results rather than the journey. I can confirm that this show does things that I haven't seen others do. It really pulled the rug of comfort from under my feet and beat me repeatedly. Some decisions were incredibly unique and exciting, while others just made me feel.... sad. But I guess that makes a good twist so maybe I'm just a big baby.
The romance was meh for me. The relationship-building happened at the beginning, which was pleasant to watch, but it got swept aside in the second half. The chemistry itself was also pretty average. I enjoyed the two leads but felt way more invested with the love between other characters rather than them. In fact, I was more invested with others rather than Lee Ahn and Yoon Jae-in. The acting wasn't bad; it's just the characters themselves I guess. I can't put my finger on what bothered me, but I just never enjoyed it like I thought I would.
With all the negativity out of the way, I can admit that I was entertained with the overall story. There were some cute comedic bits and dark story twists, but they never felt forced into each other. And just because I didn't like how some things turned out, doesn't mean that the writing was terrible. I'm just salty.... moving on!!!

Acting ｡゜(｀Д')゜｡: I was genuinely surprised. That's a good way of starting this.
I didn't have any problems with the leading actors, nor with any of the side ones. The beginning did an excellent job of building up the characters so that the actors had more time to really connect with them.
I'll also say that I haven't watched any previous works with this group of actors in them. The two mains Park Jin-young and Shin Ye-eun, didn't have much under their belt either. But both of them did amazing! I didn't always connect with their characters, but that's more due to the writing. They both conveyed emotion beautifully, especially Jin-young. Like god... please give him more lead roles!! He truly deserves it.
I'm not gonna talk about anybody else for.... reasons... but I'll admit that the actors considered everything. What seems like a poor acting choice connects to the grand scheme of things and becomes rather impressive.
I guess the reason I can't give it a 10 / 10 is due to some minor background characters. Sometimes they felt just a bit too out-there. I don't know if it's the actors or the writing, but a few pushed my buttons.
Nothing to fret over though! :D

Music ヾ(⌐■_■)ノ♪: Quick and easy! That is my goal for this dreadful review portion.
Everything was very mediocre—happy songs at happy parts and sad songs during depressing ones. There wasn't any song that seemed unique or exciting but nothing out of place either—just your run of the mill background music.
I'll admit that during the creepy, more suspenseful scenes, had a song choice that made me feel a bit spooked.
Especially when you're watching it at night, so I guess that's a plus.
But other than that, nothing unusual in the music department.

Other (ง°ل͜°)ง: The psychometric ability was delightful.
It was a nice twist that the main lead didn't have it entirely under control and instead developed it over time.
It was also interesting to include objects with things he can see through since it made the ability feel more unique to this show. There weren't many loopholes either. Near the end, the writers sprung something up that would have been best left alone, which was a bit annoying. It wasn't a big plot hole but definitely left me with questions.
What also bugged me a bit is that the ability was underused. Yes, Lee Ahn did use his talent in every episode, and it did have a significant role in discovering specific vital points. But the writers brought other issues that were much more delved into. This show could honestly get rid of the psychometric stuff and focus on (can't say it but... another character thing) which would have also made for a great show.
So if they maybe focused more on Ahn's ability and brought up the issue they saved till the last minute, then perhaps I wouldn't feel so uneasy.
Then again, these aren't problems you'd worry about while watching. I'm just incredibly picky with this type of stuff...

Finishing up the review, I'm leaving a bit salty and upset.
I'm glad I watched it, and I might recommend it to a few people, but I doubt I'll purposely watch it again.
Maybe if someone I know wants to watch it with me, then I might tag along, but never alone.
The story was entertaining, but at the same time a letdown, the acting was tremendous yet the characters weren't always on the same page with me, and the overall ending wrapped up everything but left me disappointed
This show does things that I've hardly seen done so I'll commend it.
But it's not what I thought it would be. I guess I put all my eggs in the basket too soon.
Womp womp
Happy Watching <3
