Decent drama with the most non charismatic male lead ever
The FL of this show is what saved this pretty average drama.The story is OK and felt like it dragged on forever. Like many said, you need to try and push through it specially the middle of the show.
There isn't really any plot really. There's some side or attempted of court drama but usually it ended within the next scene.
The ML like holy crap. Good thing, this is fantasy or kdrama there's no way this beautiful woman or any women for that matter would fall for this guy.
He's just bland, he's not funny, he came across way too awkward in most scenes not sure what they were going here but it didn't work
There's no chemistry between him and the female lead.
She's very fun, funny, outgoing, always trying her best to make him laugh or trying to get his attention but my dude was just miscast. I'm sure they were going for the all serious and no nonsense type of lead but he came across to me as just the most lame and boring. She needed someone who can bounce back off her and he wasn't that.
It is super unrealistic that the FL( a successful actress in the show that is that's what she's playing) would ever fall for that dude.
I think the drama was really boring at times and no plot.
The Last 3 episodes felt like they ran out of stories but since they had to get 16 episodes out so they had to add 3 more episodes.
Really this show definitely overstayed its welcome.
8/10 since I liked the FL and the show started so fun and charming

I picked up Touch your heart because I really like the OST “What if Love” by Wendy. It’s one of my favorite K-drama soundtracks on spotify. To be honest, I was hesitant because I heard it was a flop but it turned out to be a pleasant surprise. It is cute and heart fluttering. If you are in the mood for a light heart rom-com then this would be a solid 8.Story: The plot’s starting point is nothing new or original. An apparently cold, arrogant and competent man falls for his subordinate. There appears to be one of such formula produced every month in K-drama land. But the characters and their growth in TYH are likeable enough to compel me to finish watching. The story is set in a law firm but the court cases are just plot devices for characters development and the romance. It’s a simple yet enjoyable story of two people falling in love. There is no love triangle and its associated banality, no irritating misunderstanding, or silly time-skip separation etc. I love how honest the main leads are to each other in communicating their feelings, a fresh breeze of change in contrast to the over used trope of miscommunication in K drama which has grown tiresome for me. A very easy and delightful watch with lots of comical moments if you are in need of a dose of fluff like I was. But if you are looking for a story with more substance, then you may be disappointed.
Cast/Acting: A lot of people praised the chemistry of the main couple, especially after their renowned performance in the hit Goblin. I couldn’t manage to watch Goblin till they become couple because of the creepiness and annoyance of the central couple, so I cannot comment on their chemistry there. In this show, personally, I don’t think I really picked up the couple vibe from them. They are still very cute together anyhow. Individually, I’m really impressed by Yoo In-na. I’ve watched her in several dramas. I don’t remember much of her in Secret Garden because it’s too archaic and I find the whole show revolting anyway. But in my favorite “My love from the star” and in the few episodes of Goblin that I watched, she really know how to bring out unique personality for each of her characters. Although she plays washed up actresses in both MLFTS and TYH, I can clearly see the different person in each role. In MLFTS, YIN’s character is seemingly a quiet and supportive friend to the FL but brooding with jealousy inside. I was really unimpressed with her then, because I always felt I was missing something from her though I couldn’t really point out what it is. Then I watched Goblin, and my mind changed, YIN gave me this quirky and chic vibe yet very charming at the same time. In TYH, she is a little ditzy and naïve girl but with a bright and happy-go-lucky personality. Now that is a very cliché and archetypical character that I usually find annoying because a lot of actresses overplay it to be comedic but I find YIN’s performance loveable instead, especially her sincerity and resilience. This is the only show I know that she plays lead role. I wish YIN could receive a bit more appreciation for her talent.
Unfortunately, I can’t say the same for Lee Dong-wook, in both Goblin and TYH, he is just the typical stoic and indifferent ML in this type of dramas, nothing original in his acting. However, the supporting cast is entertaining and solid in their performance. I absolutely adore everyone at the law firm. They are funny and lively, bringing me so much laugh, yet manage maintain the professionalism of a workplace. The prosecutor couple is very bland that I’m not every sure of their role in the plot development. Despite having a fair amount of screen time, they have no story. But I don’t hate them. They give me this mature sense and normalcy of a real life romance. Overall, it’s a good cast assemble and everyone does well in their roles.
Music: As mentioned above, I chose this show purely because of its soundtracks, which speaks for itself how good the selection of the music is, particularly What if love, my favorite.
Recommendation and Rewatch value: I would definitely recommend this drama if you are looking for a fluffy rom-com. But if you are looking for a romance with more drama and plot twists then this may not be the right choice for you. As for rewatch value, Im not sure if its worth a second watch. There are a lot of amusing and romantic moments but may not be enough to convince me to watch again, even for a quick dose of laughter.

That being said, the fatal flaw of this drama and what made me drop it is the fact that it has no plot whatsoever. It simply follows the life of the protagonists and since they get together pretty quick, the story soon looses traction and becomes boring to the point that not even the fluffy scenes between the leads could save this drama for me.
I still see how some people can like this show, but honestly I'd recommend it only if you're going to watch in between other shows, otherwise it'll probably feel like a chore to finish.

The true definition of a romcom (romantic comedy)
The male lead character and his colleagues really carried this drama, meaning they made it what it was. Throughout the drama I had a lot of moments in which I disliked the female lead character (the character, not the actress). Her character does a lot of aegyo, which most of the time I found annoying. The only reason that I did not absolutely hate her character is because her character was consistent, meaning she was the same from the beginning to the end. Additionally, her character doing aegyo made sense, as she had never dated anyone, and pretty much lacked real life experience outside of acting. The male lead colleagues really brought the comedy to the drama. The only con is the female lead character; I honestly wish that she wasn't so needy. The male lead character is the reason why I didn't drop this drama. Btw, I found out about this drama on a MyDramaList forum [https://mydramalist.com/list/LAlGlYA1]TIP: Do not binge watch this drama or you may end up dropping it before episode 6. I watched it 4 episodes at a time (e.g. episodes 1-4 (then I took a 3 day break), episodes 5-9(then I took a 3 day break))

Fan service, in part
If I had watched this before watching Goblin, maybe my opinion about it would've been different. But, as life would have it, I watched after and then this became almost like a very long epilogue for these two. Lee Dong Wook makes my hurt skip a beat, while his counterpart makes me a little annoyed. I don't know if it's the voice or her character here, but she annoyed me at times. Story was ok and the secondary characters were very entertaining. Something's felt a little bit rushed, which is not something I have felt while watching kdramas, but here it was.Was this review helpful to you?
Trust me, You may end up having Diabetes because the sugar level's surely gonna test your limit!
You wanna watch a sweet, cute, all in all romantic comedy with some of the most notable casts? Yeah, you've come to the right place.The whole drama was so pure and heart touching that you'll never feel like you're wasting your time. The chemistry between the leads? Wait, you've asked the wrong question. The Dan-Choi couple's chemistry alone was enough for me to continue watching it and they were not even the second lead, LOL. let alone Kwon-Oh couple!
The best part of the drama was that the writer didn't bring any negativity and evil thing throughout the drama...Yeah, there was some SERIOUSNESS going on after the Stalker appeared but glad that the writer didn't give it much importance, rather they prioritized the leads' romanticism and the story's natural flow...That's something I highly praise cuz when the story is going the right direction and everything is fine and smooth, why bother bringing out some unnecessary evilness with extra plots? Just like "Love 020', going for all-out good and cute vibes throughout the whole drama! :D
The music was great and thanks to Wendy's "What if love" which inspired me to watch the drama...
Don't know about the rewatch value but maybe, just maybe the sweetness of the casts will lure me to watch it again...
So, finally, I highly recommend you to watch it but for sure, I won't take the responsibility of your DIABETES! :v

I've followed Touch Your Heart since episode 1 and unfortunately the only thing that made me excited about it is the casts only. Of course, especially Lee Dong Wook and Yoo In Na. Their chemistry is undoubtedly 100% superb, they're like match made in heaven. Too sweet it may cause you diabetes!
But I need to say that the storyline was out of place. I thought they'd have offered something more interesting. It was too unfortunate the writers couldn't improve Yoon Seo's stalker case. Well maybe the focus of this drama was more into romantic comedy (and fluff!). Other supporting roles were also good. They boost this drama to be more alive and fun. Sadly, some unnecessary, I don't know, scenes, conversations, stories (?) were confusing sometimes you'd have to think what was that all about. Some of Yeo Reum and Se Won's scenes somewhat seemed unnatural??? I don't know, that's what I felt. They could have more appealing love stories if the writers put something more into it.
Soundtracks are good. I love Chen's Make It Count the most :D
Then again, if you're into light, sweet, cringe (I'M SORRY BUT IN A GOOD WAY), fluffy, cute, funny, and fun drama, Touch Your Heart is the right one. You'll never be bored if you decided to rewatch it again. You won't even regret it!
P.S. I wish Lee Dong Wook and Yoo In Na will forever be happy because they deserve all the good thing in life! I love them so much T_T
