PLOT: Dong Baek has an extraordinary ability. He can peer into the memories of whoever he touches. With his supernatural power, get it done attitude, and eye-pleasing looks, he is fervently revered worldwide as a superstar detective. However, when his punches meet with suspects before words, he can be a bit of a headache to his comrades.

Starting from the age of twenty, Han Sun Mi is the youngest to have passed the bar exam, obtain a doctorate in criminal psychology, and become a senior superintendent in the police force. Having solved five cold cases that even a detective with supernatural powers couldn't do, she is a genius profiler. She has a secret that drives her to do what she does. These two highly-skilled professionals meet their match—a serial killer with abilities that transcend theirs combined. It's going to be a fight worth watching.

Yoo Seung Ho is rocking his role! Its like "Remember Me (Hello Monster)" and "He is Psychometric" roled into one good crime drama.

I can’t really get into the plot but somehow I’m still watching. It keeps getting more and more convoluted and the storyline isn’t getting any clearer. They are so cute behind the scenes tho since they’re friends, they laugh so much together.

One question tho is do neither of them sleep (except when he faints) bc they are constantly running around and never stop day and night lol

I find him so attractive, and I try to keep his age in my mind, but screw it. He's hot, but in a way that I can imagine him in real life. Maybe it's that for whatever deluded reason he looks less 'made up' to me (in a makeup, filter, way.)

I loved Remember Me, but was solidly meh on He Is Psychometric, so I'll wait until the end to see what you all say. The convoluted, constant running around, I dunno. Remember Me had quiet moments.

OP, Please post a finale post so I can peep in. I'm too busy right now to let myself start something I may want to binge, but in a few weeks things should be better.

I'm not watching anything, i am in work cycle where I can't afford the time to fall for something . Sometimes I watch silly youtube compilations to fall asleep, mostly NCT because I don't like them enough to get addicted. I was watching a mini-series on Playlist Global, but I decided I was too busy to expend the interest. I'll go back in a few weeks.

you know, those periods where you can see that you have all consuming obligations for now, so you can't really devote attention to something and still enjoy it. Then the work period ends, and you can binge some dramas..... it's like uni finales.

I love Remember Me. There are some areas for improvement, but it's a great story, great cast, etc. The worst part may be how much of a dick Seo In Guk is in the beginning to her. Or when SIG and PB fight the giant that kidnaps JN, I just can't take those scenes seriously. I love her police crew, I always get so upset about the one pretty police guy (who is a DUI guy in real life, right? Bummer.)

only if it's legit good, but the storyline looks interesting! It could be so good.

And I am legit busy, but because this month my full time and my side gig overlapped. I knew it was coming, and I invited it, just like finals at the end of semester. This too shall pass! (and at least I have income right now, super thankful.)

I was so excited about He is Psychometric. I feel like that show had a really good start. It felt refreshing in a sense, then it all just spiraled down and I was pretty disappointed.
Didn’t watch Remember Me so can’t comment.

Remember me is legit good, but it's not like he is psychometric and is far better. There are timeline splits, but the childhood stuff is brief (and DO is chillingly seductive) and then it's all adults, being competent. There are flaws in it, but it's mostly a thriller, a buddy cop show, and a family show/mystery. The cast is beautiful and acts well, and there is humor to balance the grim (and there is grim.)

I mean, there are dumb tropes and some jerk moments, but it's good. I recommend trying it!

Yeah HiP really suffered from the typical kdrama problem of the writers not knowing how to finish strong and trying too hard.

But well Jinyoung did well so I had that.

I’ve been meaning to start this because I’m a fan of Seungho and crime dramas, but I’m catching up on too many shows as is.

The Kdramas I'm watching are Hi Bye Mama (I feel like I ugly sob every episode) and W-Two Worlds (almost done with this one)

Non-Kdramas I'm watching right now are Money Heist (highly recommend!) and Supernatural.

Yes it looks great on her! I kind of started watching it because of her but the whole cast has grown on me. And you're right i think there aren't any new episodes this week...or was it last week...it's all a blur right now...

So...I would say Supernatural is good if you like demon hunting and supernatural (haha) creatures and such. My high school self is loving this show so far. BUT it is like 15 seasons so it is a long commitment.

I really like the drama so far and how there is always something deeper with every revelation.

But my biggest gripe with this drama is the heroine/Han Sunmi and her habit of pointing her gun at suspects BUT NOT SHOOTING!!! She knows how elusive the Eraser is so what's with the hesitation??! It didn't bother me at first but after every single episode, I'm just like 'PULL THE DAMN TRIGGER!!!' You don't have to shoot the suspect dead, just aim at any limb and immobilise them?? Ugh so frustrating to watch
