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 […]
Happy Easter!
He is risen! Happy Easter! And because we like to think in this blog…. This is the Resurrection on a fresco in the Church of the Holy Savior in Turkey. Built in the 4th century, this beautiful Byzantine church was converted into a mosque during the Ottoman empire in the 16th century. The frescoes […]
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 […]
Love O2O: Episode 27 Highlights
I’m back with my highlights. Three more episodes to go. 1. Mate poaching Yiran and her evil sidekick Nana invite Erxi to dinner, expecting Erxi to spill the dirt on Weiwei. When Weiwei accidentally joins them at the table, Yiran and Nana are confused by the excellent camarederie between Erxi and Weiwei. Erxi declares Weiwei […]

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 […]
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: 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 […]
