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 job th

I seriously need to write a list of unpopular Kdramas for 2020. I keep discovering new gems that I should have watched last year.  Team Bulldog Off-Duty Investigation This is a 12-episode short series starring Cha Tae Hyun and Lee Sun Bin as the main characters alongside multiple first-rate supporting actors. I especially loved Jung Sang-hoon in here. I always saw him in comedic roles and he was fun to watch but I wanted to see him in a serious role once.  Team Bulldog Off-Duty Investigation Review Team Bulldog is a mystery drama with quirky characters, fun investigations, disgusting murderers, and interesting reporters. You get the whole package in just 12 episodes in this drama. A group of misfits try to solve mysteries that the police themselves cannot solve. With one member a real detective, they are not a totally illegitimate group; therefore, they have access to crime scenes and police resources when needed. The group itself includes a former forensic pathologist, a former profil

BeetBits: Hot Stove League

Korean dramas in 2020 were really top-notch. Despite finishing my fair share of dramas, I am still discovering new gems till now in January. Hot Stove League is one of the dramas I didn't think I would like because I literally know nothing about Baseball. In fact, I am "sports illiterate" in general. However, this is one show that could count as educational, entertaining, and even non-romantic. Still, before starting the drama, it is better if you are not familiar with the rules of baseball to at least read an article before the beginning of this drama. It is not a drama about a high school team, therefore, you won't start the drama with an introduction to the rules of the game. In fact, one of the first meetings in the show included terminologies like WAR (Wins Above Replacements), batting average, etc. Therefore, I recommend you read the following articles before you start.  1. Baseball Rules by Rules of Sports 2. Baseball Positions: All 9 Fielding Positions Explai
