## Synopsis

He Is Psychometric (2019) is a South Korean crime mystery series created for tvN, a Korean television drama with a playful genre blend. Lee Ahn (Jinyoung) can read a person's secrets the moment he touches them, and that gift becomes his tool in a partnership with Yoon Jae In (Shin Ye-eun), a woman whose own secrets she desperately tries to hide. Together they track criminals through a run of sixteen hour-long episodes, each case built around fresh suspects, hidden motives and the risk of exposure. Kang Sung Mo (Kim Kwon) and Eun Ji Soo (Kim Da-som) add comic friction and additional investigative threads. The tone balances brisk procedural suspense with light humor, a bromance-tinged rapport and a slow burn romance that grows as trust is tested. Its atmosphere is urban, grounded in contemporary Seoul, with a mood that is breezy yet occasionally darker when crimes turn violent. Viewers who enjoy Lie to Me, The Mentalist and Tunnel will find a similar pleasure in intuitive investigators outwitting criminals. The single season makes it a compact, self-contained watch that rewards close attention to every clue.
