I like the reference to The Dance of the Lion and the Unicorn. I will need to track it down.

With An, I was expecting a slightly different and more sympathetic reaction due to his experiences. Psychologically, people in An’s situation can react in different ways depending on what happened to them as a child. It would seem, based on his childhood, An did not create a false self (caused by wanting our parents to love us) he seems very genuine. He doesn’t appear to be passive aggressive (being angry all the time but not showing it). He doesn’t seem to be playing the victim (resulting from continual victimisation that leads to feeling unimportant). He is, if anything, perhaps passive - where he has buried his feelings and holds himself back so he doesn’t stand out (resulting from being abandoned).

With the unconscious vendetta, it is very true that we lash out or reject those closest to us when faced with a confronting situation. It’s also true re what An said regarding his distrust in what people say due to experiencing terrible human behaviour hidden below the surface.

It seemed to me though, up until this point, An knew how to deal with his issues and how to handle something out of left field (similarly with Jae-in who has experienced stability as a young police officer). This is demonstrated through him avoiding crowded places eg being on a bus, feeling useful by trying out his psychometric powers, undertaking a playful relationship with his brother, and valuing his friendships (sort of).

In any case, it seems An quickly regretted his actions and made sure he reconciled with Jae-In very quickly :)

Yes, I thought eps 11 & 12 were very good. The cut scenes between the three candidates re their policies was so well done and very funny.

At the end of episode 8 and Inspector Jo has really hit its stride now. I’m looking forward to the next encounter!

At the end of episode 4 - it is a truly delightful show so far!

Not sure what to make of the first episode. It does have that angsty feel to it. There were a couple of things that irked me a little e.g. the psychiatrist is in the wrong in my view - prepared to help GMC but not BKE, dreadful mother-in-law blaming BKE for husband’s suicide, even GMC wanting to protect his wife’s image (which is fine - but putting out a statement that really sugar coats everything?). There are good performances all round though and the potential is there for show to settle into a mature drama.

Agreed. I stopped halfway through ep 5 and sat on it for a couple of weeks. In the end I decided to drop it. It could have been quite good.

Yes, they are pulling out all the stops now to try and keep us guessing. I find that’s a shame because it undermines what was, up until the 50th episode, quite a decent and entertaining show. I’m not sure if a happy ending is the best outcome, but I would like there to be one.

Ep 2 is a show stopper. So, hang in there.

My thoughts after the first episode: My Private Life is a fun watch. Sit back, relax and enjoy. Let the battle begin :)

This is the best thriller out there for some time. The way the story builds each episode, the battle of wits, and the performances from an all star cast contribute to a quality production. Doctor Prisoner is so much better than a range of shows sitting around the 8.7 mark.

Lololol...

I found that I didn’t appreciate ep 10 all that much. If it wasn’t for the final scenes and the other side stories I would have dropped Psychometric.

Jae In’s reaction to An’s “rejection” of her was very well portrayed by SYE. However, I found An’s reaction regarding Jae In’s “truth” didn’t ring true for me. I also found much of this episode didn’t really add much to the story. If anything, Writer Nim was trying to do what many Kdramas do: either insert a storyline to muddy the waters or reconstruct the back story to justify An’s different than expected reaction.

From where I sit, An and Jae In’s relationship is very special. It would have taken more than the reveal re Jae In’s dad to fracture what they have. An knows through his abilities alone there are two sides to every story. Yes, his reaction was very much an emotional one. Yes, he would need to take a deep breath. An is forthright though.

So, the saving grace for me right now is Dae Bong’s relationship with So Hyung, which is delightful, as is the Aunty’s interactions with Jae In’s superior.

I have my fingers crossed for what comes next. Logic should kick in once An knows Jae In is in danger. Maybe, I’m also feeling a bit cranky too :)

A drama that is both heartwarming and romantic in the most understated way. Like others have said, I wanted to see more.

Inspector Jo had a solid start. There are good characterisations throughout and the satire is pitched just right at the moment. I’m looking forward to our hero’s redemption :)

The ladies totally rock in this show!

A very nice scene at the end of episode eight to mark the halfway point to He is Psychometric :)

An enjoyable romp from the beginning to the end

I’m sad to say we went from a great premise regarding supernatural items, with a wonderful relationship between uncle and niece, contrasted by a big dose of crazy zany evilness (all underpinned by some superior acting by KKW), to what I can only call gloop :)

Don’t worry about keeping up with the plotting and the schemes by each side - just go with the flow and enjoy the ride!

By far the best “possession” drama out there. Episodes 7 - 10 went to a whole new level. And I agree with tsutsuloo below
