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 […]
Notre-Dame de Paris
So this is how it feels like to lose a childhood home to fire…. credit: Francois Guillot/AFP/Getty Images I never knew that Notre-Dame occupies a big space in my consciousness until now that a vast part of it is gone. I remember sitting on uncomfortable chairs wedged between my strict mother and my strictER brother. […]
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 […]
He’s Psychometric: On “The Little Prince”
The illustration is of “The Little Prince,” a novella by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry written around World War II. Viewers will have their own interpretation but this is mine. I skimmed through the story last night before going to bed and Chapters 8, 9, 15, and 21 are the relevant ones to this post. Feel free […]
He’s Psychometric: On Protecting Jaein and Jisoo
If the writer and director want to self-immolate, they can follow the lead of the director of “A Poem Crap a Day” and switch to a repulsive ahjussi-niece pairing at the eleventh hour. I’m pretty sure @strawberynyoung and the rest of the Jinyoung’s crusaders would gladly do the honors of burning them both at the […]
He’s Psychometric: Homework!
Edited to add the answer key at bottom of page. *************************** I’m away today so I’m giving y’all homework. What do you think of this? I’ll post my interpretation later — after I’ve received at least three responses from you, including the lurking readers. Don’t be shy now. Edited: Answer key found here, lol. He’s […]
He’s Psychometric: Ep 10 On Sunflowers, Mums and YSS Construction
Yes, I’m aware of that there are various interpretations of the sunflowers and chrysanthemum (or mum, for short) in this scene. But being a first-rate bitch, I’ll only post MY explanations of the flowers in my blog and challenge myself by going one step further to connect both flowers to YSS Construction. Ready? Yes, I […]
He’s Psychometric: Ep 8 Notes
Whoops! I forgot to post my notes on Episode 8 before the Episode 9 Flash Reaction, so here it is. I hesitate to call this a recap or review because I’m neither summarizing the episode nor judging the show. I’m merely sharing with you how I view, construe and contextualize various elements of the kdrama. […]
He’s Psychometric: Episode 9 Flash Review
On one hand, it’s fun when the story shapes up in the way I expected it to be. He’s a Psychometric: Ep 4 On Kang SungMo But on the other hand, it’s scary because there are still 3 more weeks (or 6 more episodes) for the writer to create a plot twist…and I hate stupid […]
My Fellow Citizens: First Impressions
I’m 90% sure I’m dropping this. 1. Do you remember Ernie and Bert of Sesame Street? The lead guy here JungKook (played by Siwon) reminds me of Ernie. Always getting in trouble because of instant gratification and lack of foresight. I just don’t find a con-artist appealing as a hero because I can see his […]
Love O2O: Episode 26 Highlights
This episode is what I call the “transitional” period. Nothing new is revealed about the characters that we didn’t know. We’ve analyzed the characters to bits and I’ve tried to show that the characters, especially Nai and Weiwei, have been consistent throughout. 1. Weiwei becomes den mother. Nai’s demo presentation is rescheduled to September 1, […]
