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 […]
He’s Psychometric: Ignoring Death
I don’t like it whenever Jisoo dismisses death like she’s invincible. It sounds too much like a foreshadowing, as if the story is setting us up for a grim turn of events. We’ve already seen three conspicuous scenes in the drama when she ignored the death signs. I’ll list them so we’re all on the […]
He’s Psychometric: Sungmo’s Room
Because we’re obsessive bitches here…. Take “serious” with a grain of NaCl, ok? Lee Ahn says he couldn’t read anything in his Hyung’s room but I think the director left enough clues for us viewers to analyze. 1. The bird cage It doesn’t take a genius to know what the bird cage stands for. But […]
He’s Psychometric: Got Milk?
I haven’t decided which one I’m going to use as a banner for this show. This? Or this? The “got milk?” was a successful slogan used by the US milk producers and dairy farmers associations to promote milk consumption since the 1990s. (edit: Apparently, the ads were discontinued in 2014.) The famous tagline was created […]
He’s Psychometric: Ep 8 Tom and Jerry
Here’s why I think Lee Ahn is boyfriend material. My parameters: Episode 8 moments only. Part two will come tonight or tomorrow. 1. He steps on the brakes and waits for the green light. He wasn’t lying when he said, “I’ve cared for no one else since the start. Why I said I’d wait for […]
He’s Psychometric: Ep 8 On Bridges
It’s a quirk of this blog that I break down dialogues. Yo solo hablo Ingles and the easiest way for me to understand what’s said in Korean (or Chinese, now that I’ve started to watch Chinese drama) is to go line by line in order to read between the lines. 😂 Often, I glean a […]
He’s Psychometric: Ep 8 Sungmo’s Dad
Q: Is the stalker/killer Sungmo’s dad? A: We don’t know. That’s still a mystery. However, Episode 8 sets up a nice contrast between Sungmo and the rest of the main characters. In yet another flashback on Dec 3rd, Time: 4 pm, a precocious Lee Ahn bragged to Jaein’s dad that his father had caught many […]
He’s Psychometric: Ep 7 Instant Reaction
1. Another episode, another flashback We’re back to that fateful day, December 3, 2005. Time: 18:00 pm. We learn that Jaein’s dad, Yoon TaeHa, knows young Sungmo. He attends to Sungmo’s bloodied ankle and suspects that the teen’s being abused. He wants to report it to the police. Notice young Sungmo’s look of surprise when Yoon […]
He’s Psychometric: Ep 5 The Vision
I’m posting Lee Ahn’s vision when he got stabbed separately so you can comment on the images as you please. Let the good theories roll. 1. Stalker’s been watching Hyung. He knows that Kang Sungmo and Lee Ahn moved to a more “secured” place. Whoa! Can you imagine when they were living in that rooftop […]
