Visual effects are quite interesting as Lee Ahn uses his ability and they fade the screen between the various memories he's seeing.
Acting - I wasn't totally convinced by Lee Ahn's character, though it wasn't bad at all, just something felt a bit weak in the performance. I thought Jae In was great, and she had some fantastic moments. Sung Mo was brilliant, I found it hard to read him and that gave me some clues as to where his character was heading but even then it wasn't quite 100% - very nicely done.
The little side thing that goes on between Dae Bong and So-Hyun didn't get enough time for me, I thought that was interesting and they only dipped into it occasionally and briefly. It was a good opportunity to expand more on Lee Ahn's best friend and actually put some of the story of him winning So-Hyun over in. It would have added some light moments in between what is otherwise a pretty heavy story. That said, what was in there was good.
Overall I really enjoyed the story, thought the actors did generally a great job and definitely glad to have watched it. The nature of it being a mystery however does make it less interesting to watch a second time as all the mystery is now gone though a second viewing would be interesting to see what clues I missed in the first viewing perhaps.
There's some good surprises and twists in this one - don't let the fact that there are some potential twists that are much more obvious trick you into thinking this one is easily predictable. Definitely worth a watch.

I liked this drama right up to the final episode. The characters were interesting and multifaceted, the villain chilling and intriguing. But I was really disappointed in the clumsy way that the story was wrapped up. I felt like they tried to smash too much into the last 60 minutes, when they should have balanced it across 15 and 16.*Spoilers Below*
I felt that it would have been a better tribute to Eun Ji Soo's death if Seung Mo had decided to turn himself in for his crimes because he was genuinely moved by her unrelenting love and belief in him, rather than because of his mother's request. Also, I thought the last 15 minutes of the episode were disjointed. TBH, I thought it should have ended with Lee Ahn talking to Seung Mo in the prison, because the drama began with them and it really was Ahn's and Seung Mo's story, not Ahn's and Jae In's.

Worth every second
Wow! I was feeling all the emotions I was meant to be feeling at exactly the right times: I was laughing when they wanted me too and crying buckets seconds later.Sure, I admit it, I originally only watched this for Jinyoung (and partly because the idea of psychometry sounded cool) but I'm glad I watched it for many more reasons than that now. The storyline played out beautifully, everything happened right when it should and there was never a moment where I felt bored or thought something should happen differently or not happen at all. I became really invested in the characters which is a testament to everyone's acting abilities and I thought for this reason that the casting was spot on.
Although I loved everything about it I feel like I should add that i'm glad I originally wanted to watch it for Jinyoung because his acting was amazing and he really added to the overall perfection of the show

The last 8 episodes is more serious, zero comedy, thriller, suspense, mystery, anything can happen
There is also plenty of twists, one big twist near the end, my best advice is don't try to predict whats going to happen next for you to enjoy this
The actors acted out everything on point, I feel they all did an excellent job, especially the lead male actor, he was on point
The cast is likable, An, Jae In, An's Brother Seong Mo
Music is just right, not like omg so good put on repeat but sounds good
The pace is not bad, slow at times but it wasn't boring, story keeps going
This drama worth watching, dont try to predict the plot and it will be a fun ride, i promise you that much, dont try to predict it !

Totally different than I expected
I know some people may find this rating too high; I’m not saying it was completely flawless or the best show ever made, but to me subjectively it was perfect and I loved it.I expected this to be a lighthearted, comedy adventure. It started off being immediately both darker and more emotional than I was prepared for. I was already emotional for Lee Ahn in the first episode, and tearing up for him by the second episode. This show was definitely still cute and quirky and funny in the beginning (and in moments throughout, but the overall tone got way darker.) I love how much Lee Ahn and Jae In’s relationship progressed- it couldn’t start off much worse. Lee Ahn’s phone call, that made him seem like the pervert, was hilariously and perfectly unfortunate.
I loved all the leads of this show, though I know Seung Mo is definitely a controversial character. I was surprised by how dark and twisted this show went with his backstory. When I first watched the ending, I wasn’t sure how to feel about it, but now I think it’s fitting. I think that morally gray characters, that the audience roots for, often surprise us by choosing the good side and being redeemed. But now I’ve kind of come to expect that- so I was pretty shocked with the route they took with Seung Mo. I think we aren’t meant to think he’s “just a monster like his father” though. He may really be a monster, but he feels guilt, and wants to be good...that was my take on it at least.
I think the show managed to create very complex characters that I could analyze forever. Almost never before has such a seemingly lighthearted show impacted me this much. He Is Psychometric ended up being very intense, emotional, philosophical and metaphorical, and I’m so glad I gave it a try.

He is Psychometric is slow moving and romance based to begin with but speeds up around halfway once the depth of the relationships between all of the characters has been established. It also somehow manages to maintain its emotional depth despite this sudden plot speed increase. Arguably the romance could have been omitted but we would have likely been left with fickle 2D characters who had revenge as motivation and probably also a six-episode intense crime only drama, irrelevant characters and too many plot-holes - which is made abundantly clear in the final episode that this is not the story the writers wanted to tell.
Plot-wise for me it also became a bit too obvious about halfway what was going to happen next EXCEPT there is one question about Sung Mo that maintained the suspense until the very end.
Overall, the cast, plot and music was all delivered solidly, the messages were portrayed clearly and there left a lot of room for insight and personal interpretation. This team delivered a piece of work with a lead cast of anti-heroes which I really loved.
Music-wise – the music fits well with the drama, no complaints here.
There wasn't much I didn't like.
Would I re-watch it? Probably in around 5-6 years when I want to be reminded of just how differently people deal with their emotional scars.

Du fantastique, mais pas trop !
J’ai tout de suite accroché à ce drama ! Le suspens grandit au fur et à mesure des épisodes, et ce qui au départ pourrait paraître une histoire courue d’avance, va se révéler être beaucoup plus complexe que cela. Les acteurs sont géniaux que ce soit pour les personnages principaux, mais aussi pour les personnages secondaires. Je n’ai rien à dire de négatif sur cela. On s’attache très facilement aux personnages jusqu’à prendre leur histoire à cœur. Je trouve que le drama mélange bien la vie scolaire avec la vie d’adulte. Pour ceux qui n’aiment pas les histoires qui se déroulent au lycée, à partir du quatrième épisode, on suit les personnages dans leur vie d’adulte soit deux ans après le lycée. La majorité du drama se passe donc dans le monde des adultes. Moi qui suis une fan des dramas qui se passe dans un lycée, j’ai été ravi de pouvoir voir ces deux mondes différents dans un drama. J’ai adoré l’histoire d’amour principal. La façon dont le passé de chacun est développé au cours de l’histoire, par des récits ou des souvenirs de Lee Ahn qu’il a vu d’eux est tout simplement magnifique. Je trouvais qu’il y avait vraiment une vraie romance entre les deux personnages principaux. Je suis sûre que ce drama va te faire réfléchir sur beaucoup de choses ****(attention spoiler : notamment sur le fait qu’on puisse excuser les actes d’une personne ou non dû à son passé, mais aussi à quel point les actes présents ou passés de nos parents devraient influencer nos vies et le regard que porte les autres sur nous).****Bref, je vous conseille ce drama!!

One of my favourite dramas
I personally really loved the plot of this drama, and I think that its premise is very interesting. Though some may have seen the ending coming, I did not, and I felt that the ending was very satisfactory. I liked the balance of thriller and romance. I also really liked the acting, and I was surprised at idol Park Jin Young's acting ability, as I felt like he conveyed his character's personality well, and the way his character's experiences had affected him. I also felt that the other actors such as Kwon Kim and Kim Da Som did a very good job at conveying their characters' personalities. The OST is also very good, and I found myself listening to it on repeat for days after finishing the drama.TLDR, I would recommend because of the great plot and the great acting.

It was fun but
Basically, I liked the characters and the plot, overall. I liked the messages of healing and also of forgiveness you can find in it.But there were some things here and there that I disliked, like the humour. And the truth is I also simply hated how they dealt with alexithymia. Well, not hate, ok, but let's be clear : this is NOT alexithymia they are showing here. And it kinda makes me angry a bit.
Alexithymia does NOT make you lack empathy, guilt, remorse, whatever. THIS is what ASPD does. Alexithymia has nothing to do with ASPD.
Alexithymia is a disorder where you are unable to identify and express your emotions, with words but also with the right facial expressions. It's nearly impossible to say "I feel THIS", because your feelings are hazy and mixed up and you don't know how to express yourself nor feel comfortable enough to do so. You will more likely say "I think" rather than "I feel", for exemple. You won't express big emotions, yet this does not mean that you are not impacted by them even though you don't actively "feel" them, and this will translate as suffering from some psychosomatic illnesses. People suffering from this disorder usually are not risk takers or impulsive like a person with ASPD would, because with alexithymia you'd rather not be stimulated by anything or anyone and you'd rather not attract attention and be outside of the law like an ASPD person would. You're not going to kill someone impulsively because of alexithymia. You're just not. It does not affect your moral compass and ability to have empathy for other living beings, although you might have trouble understanding other people's emotions just as much as your own.
Wow ok so now that this rant is over, what's left :
Good premise
Some good characters
Good story overall
Good acting
Good pacing (imo)
Interesting relationships and an ok romance (yeah, am not a romance fan so I won't elaborate on that, but it was fine, they were pretty cute)
Pretty dark themes (abuse, trauma)
Important lessons
So yes, this is a good drama. It's entertaining, has lot of emotions, and the ending's pretty good. But this nonsense about alexithymia is just a bit much for me and is why I felt the need to write this review.
