BeetBits Review: He is Psychometric

-




This week we will discuss one of the most popular dramas in 2019. "He is Psychometric" starring Park Jin Young (Got7), Shin Ye Eun, Kim Da Som and Kwon Kim is an unusual drama. It aired from March till the end of April. The show created a buzz in terms of both acting and directing, and Park Min Young earned rave reviews thanks to his acting here.

Story and Writing

He is Psychometric is a mystery, thriller, sci-fi romantic drama. It is a refreshing drama that discusses the reason behind an arson case in an apartment building. The main heroes are both survivors of the fire, and the female cast is also fully connected to the case somehow. The themes discussed in the drama are all unusual, way beyond simple mystery, there is tragedy, psychology, corruption and ignorance. The writer of the drama did a fantastic job exploring the characters and explaining their backgrounds in details. She made sure to stay away from any stereotypes and even the ending, which I will not spoil, is not typical at all.

Actors and Characters

The actors did a fantastic job in this drama, top-notch acting all the way. Park Jin Young surely made a perfect young delinquent, police-helper, psychometric detective, etc. His character is slightly twisted thanks to his sad background, but he is also quite normal. His love story is the best thing in this whole drama. Shin Ye Eun also acted the part of the strong heroine with a sad past well. She is courageous, determined and strong. She has all the characteristics we all love to see in an independent woman, and her development is exciting in many ways. Finally, Kim Kwon acting as the prosecutor big brother is the cherry on top in this drama. His character is the most mysterious, you will never understand it till the end of the drama. He is charming, and he has a good side, but he is also so silent most of the time that it is weird. Kim Kwon appears emotionless most of the time, and for an actor to make you interested in a character that is basically blank, that's just amazing. His past is relieved in the end, and you get to see him with more emotions, but, trust me, nothing about this character is ordinary. I mean it!

Overall Rating

There is no reason not to give this drama a 10/10 rating. It excels in everything be it writing, direction or acting, you get a full package in this one.

BeetBits: Move To Heaven

 Probably the fastest binge ever in my own history of binge-watching. Move To Heaven is a short 10 episode drama produced by Netflix, especially for Kdrama lovers. It explores life and death through the story of the workers at Move To Heaven trauma cleaning agency. From Lee Je Hoon to the newly discovered Tang Joon-Sang, the cast for this drama is more than top-notch.  Trauma Cleaning  Ever heard of trauma cleaning? Personally, I have never heard nor even thought about them. It is weird, they say, "away from the eyes, away from the mind." It is totally true in this case. I have even written about unconventional careers before for a job; surprisingly, this job was not even mentioned anywhere. It is like the whole industry of crime scene cleaning is not exactly recognized by people. After reading a few articles about a trauma cleaner's job, it is a job that requires handling chemical materials that remove the worst type of contamination you can think of. Certainly, a j...

Actor Scope: Choi Tae Joon

Tae Joon is one of the actors I believe need more attention from the public. He is not as famous as other actors internationally despite being a great actor with a good resume. He started his career as a child actor. However, he stopped for a bit during puberty and returned as a handsome guy through Padam Padam (2011). He is also a full-round entertainer. I always look around searching for more content for this guy which is why I think this article will be the most prolonged Actor Scope ever for me.  Variety Shows  I can’t mention this guy without mentioning his appearances on Korean variety shows. I got to know him as the  Choi Tae Joon of Hello Counselor  at first so I will start from it.  Hello Counselor  (2010) Tae Joon is probably the only actor to join the cast of this famous Korean variety show. It is a show that receives citizens concerns and tries to solve them through discussions. He first appeared as a regular ...

Good Morning Call Cast Taken from a famous manga, "Good Morning Call" is a Netflix Original Japanese drama  starring  Haruka Fukuhara,  Shun'ya Shiraishi,  Dôri Sakurada  and produced by Mayuko Okamoto and Akimitsu Sasaki. The drama started airing on 2016 and currently has two full seasons following the main couple throughout both high school and university. Good Morning Call manga was written by Yue Takasuka and sold more than 5-million copies. Although the manga itself is popular, as a person who never read the manga before, my review will only consist of my opinion on the drama alone, without any comparisons to the manga. On IMDB, the rate for this drama is 7.9, which is extremely high if you count the genre of the drama. Typical rom-com dramas are rarely actually given good rating cuz of the repetitive storyline and the level of acting. Personally, I have stayed away from a lot of the famous live adaptations of mangas that I love, because of h...
