I’m still in Quebec City. It’s hard to care about Sungmo’s plight when everywhere, I see lot of Asian tourists doing the Goblin city tours. That kdrama wasn’t perfect too but it has spawned a tourism industry in this otherwise quiet city. The other guests in my hotel don’t understand why crowds are congregating around […]
He’s Psychometric: Ep 15 Non-negotiables
I’m traveling today. Here’s my short list of non-negotiables, Ms Writer and Mr Director. 1. Jaein and Lee Ahn live. 2. Jaein and Lee Ahn stay as a couple. 3. Jaein’s dad is exonerated and lives long enough to see grandkids as cute as young Jaein and Lee Ahn were. As for the Sungmo and […]
He’s Psychometric: On Oedipus, Oedipus Complex, and Icky Factors
A couple of days ago, in my post on Episode 14, I mentioned a couple of “icky” factors. The first was the scene when Sungmo placed the ring on his mother’s finger which gave me the impression that they were getting betrothed to each other, and the second was the scene when Sungmo saw his […]
He’s Psychometric: Ep 14 Random Notes
Sorry this took forever. Viki subs were subpar again. Some of the subbers either don’t follow the gist of the conversation or their command of the English language is very poor. I wonder why I even bother with Viki when there’s Kissasian which has better subs, FASTER, and FREE. Grrrrr… 1. The “Icky” Factors There are […]
He’s Psychometric: Ep 13 On Manipulation
Since I suspected Sungmo hired the services of Kim Gab Yong, I’ve been on the lookout for emerging signs of his psychopathic tendencies. So far, however, nothing in his actions in Episode 13 proves conclusively that he’s turned evil. Perhaps in the following episode (which I haven’t seen yet 🙂), but not in Episode 13. […]
He’s Psychometric: Ep 14 Predictions
I haven’t watched Ep 13 yet and I’ll watch this back-to-back when Ep 14 is subbed. But go ahead. You may place your predictions and spoilers here. I’m placing mine. 1. We shall recover from this thrilling roller-coaster ride. 2. Sungmo dies. There have been foreshadowings: a. the crucifix: Jesus died on the cross to […]
He’s Psychometric: Ep 13 As Predicted…
Jisoo died. We couldn’t say that we didn’t see her death coming because the signs were always there. The screenwriter and director shoved her death notice in our faces every. single. episode. I thought it would have been less obvious if they paid a full page obituary in the Washington Post, “RIP Detective Eun Jisoo.” Nonetheless […]
He’s Psychometric: Park JinYoung Appreciation Post
Updated 4/22/2019 to add @strawberynyoung’s list of Park JinYoung’s accomplishments. I’m appointing @strawberynyoung as president of the PJY’s fan club, at least for this blog, since I’m not a big kpop follower. She wrote this: First, getting to know the multi-talented Park Jinyoung: ~ casted as JYPE trainee as a dancer in 2009 ~ debuted […]
He’s Psychometric: Ep 12 Random Notes
Episode 12 highlights. 1. Happiness is wearing your boyfriend’s shirt. It’s oversized, too. But how fashionable is Lee Ahn that he has a pink button-down shirt? 2. This is a sneak peek into their future. She works late at night while he sleeps at her side. 3. Another sneak peak into their future. Sharing a […]
He’s Psychometric: Kim Gab Yong’s Boss
I know who ordered Kim Gab Yong “not to have loose ends.” This will be controversial so I need you to buckle up and keep an open mind before proceeding. I’ve been thinking this over since Episode 6 when Lee Ahn read the body in the suitcase because I didn’t expect this writer to go […]
He’s Psychometric: Ep 11 Flash Review
Just so we’re on the same page before Ep 12. 1. The warped version of “The Little Prince” This is the how the Stalker/Killer/dad perverted the story: Jaein: Why the hell are you doing this? Man: Do you know the story of the little prince? On a small star where he grew a rose on […]
He’s Psychometric: OSTs and Sunflowers
While waiting for subs from Viki, I’m posting the OSTs for @agdr03. OST 1: Take by Jus2 OST 2: With You by Fromm –the English song OST 3: Sunny Day by Seunghee (Oh My Girl) OST 4 The First Love by Minseo Thanks, @strawberynyoung! Huh? Who are the 5 twits […]
He’s Psychometric: Umbrellas vs Shoes
In terms of cinematography, there were two significant scenes here for me. The first one is the umbrella scene and the second one is the shoe scene. Which one did you like better? Be truthful now. Remember Lee Ahn hates liars. hahaha. Stop here and think before proceeding. I’ll explain my take on them. ***************** […]
He’s Psychometric: On Creating Heroes
@peachietime wrote, But I am still so uneasy about it’s always Ahn realizing what he hurts her, it’s like the entire journey of him realizing how lightly he took by saying he would help her. Also him learning to put himself into the victim’s shoes (and every thing you said in this review). But I […]
