Moderately entertaining but she's so dumb it's infuriating
I did enjoy this drama as i stuck it out through the most horribly written main character i've ever seen anywhere. I think this drama had a lot of potential, but they made the female lead so completely dumb that it really kind of ruined the show. Im not talking about a FL who follows tropes and is quirky and cute but dumb. This FL instead deliberately made disgustingly awful choices throughout the entire series to the point at times it enraged me. She's supposed to be a med school grad, you'd think she could have a smidge of common sense but no, she can't do anything without the help of the ML. I was honestly just glad it was over.Was this review helpful to you?

Show had great moments but it was all over the place
The acting was on point. However the story was disjointed. Maybe because there were 3 writers and 2 directors, but it felt they didn’t have a clear picture of what they wanted their story to be. Is it comedy drama, is it suspense thriller or fantasy, they tried to include all but it didn’t transition well. It didn’t help they killed off Suho, the most interesting character in the show.
Additionally, they started some back stories with characters, but instead of finishing a clear concise story for each, once they were killed off it wasn’t brought up again.
The overall idea and concept of this story was brilliant, it just needed consistency throughout. Also, don’t make a character you plan to kill off the most likable one in your show.

Undoubtedly BEST DRAMA OF 2023
I've been watching dramas for so long, I've been dropping a lot of dramas too, but this drama has caught me like no one else has done this year, I hooked up to it since the first episode was aired and got me waiting for it every weekend.As a diehard fan of Lee MinKi and Han JiMin I was expecting the drama and it surprised me how I ended up loving all the mistery around the plot, the plot was just unique, it's definately a drama that can't be seen nowadays in dramaland, the ost was excellent, the acting, everything! If you love comedy, drama and mistery all mixed up, this drama it's a must for you.

The comedy side is the only thing what I loved the most but still highly recommended...
When watching this drama from the start, I was so pleased by how funny it was, I didn't laugh over any korean drama from a long time so far that I thought it will be a mix of comedy and mystery with crime that should be supposed and I couldn't wait to watch one episode after the other in order to complete it thinking it will be promising but it wasn't for a long time unfortunately...The main characters performed their role comedically so great and the duo of ye bun and jang yeol to resolve the complications of mysterious crimes in mujin town was so successful and I really enjoyed these two actors together and how he exploited ye bun to return as a cop in seol after being demoted by snatching her from sun woo and at every situation she slacked from him for his and observing her as being his neighbor to guarantee she will help him always when he gave her homeworks (especially when she tried to learn arabic language was one of the funniest moments) and used her as an important tool for him that she tagged along with him when always wanting to catch the culprit, that was totally funny and worthy moments to watch, that I highly recommended for this reason only.
Ye bun and jung yeol are suitable to be in romantic relationship, hoped to make jang yeol more emotionally for ye bun but she was like a robot for him turning her head to follow him, sadly I was disappointed in that side and the story could be twisted so easily to make it as a slow burn romance but though this tag is mentioned I couldn't feel it this way in the middle of the chaos of serial crimes.
The support characters was so dull and unimportant against what most of people think but ok hui the intimate friend of ye bun was a great add of cast and the most side character I loved, her look and her act was ideal for the comedic cast.
When the story progressed and the funny side of story is turning off and fading gradually I felt it is becoming boring and didn't being excited to know who is the real culprit after episode 10, though at the beginning I appraise the script written for the serial murders and how jang yeol analyse the consequences of crimes and how he being helped by ye bun to push her funnily touching the butt of suspects by sticking the gums that I couldn't forget all the enjoyable comedic parts of the drama and especially the series of panties disappearance was impeccably amazingly hilarious!!!!!
I dropped cause I didn't felt any interest to continue it after loosing funny moments of the drama but though major of watchers enjoy it but for me it was boring after the second half of drama that I think like watching another drama with no any suspense anymore just my personal opinion but I recommend only for the first half just for me and nobody maybe will agree with me.
Overall it is not a failure but a great choice of drama highly recommended for everybody, I am not against this drama but totally to support it and raise the rating of drama just for the hilarious moments I enjoyed having a confused contrasted feelings.
I like the hairstyle of female lead with her garments looking like a little cute girl being portrayed as a funny character, I am in love with these pets ye bun was examining them it was a reason too to watch it as I like these cute little animals filmed along that I am deeply fond of all pets and as a veterinarian she was supposed to be given more scenes as most of ye bun role was for the sake to help jang yeol, to note I was sursprised that ye bun is in real life is older than jang yeol but her successful look hides her true age that I appraise how they work to make her being younger.

Good Enough
Korean Drama " Behind Your Touch " is a mystery, crime comedy with a fantasy twist.The drama has a good start and it kept the interesting high right till the very ending, though the two last episodes were a total change of mood and it were a bit draggy as well.
But, up until then, the story was entertaining, funny, but thrilling as well, with the game of whodunnit being used to its finest, as it was hard to predict who was the serial killer till the very ending. And even though the fantasy element was ridiculous, the comedy element was really strong and provided enough funny moments. However, the romance that was inserted here and there was unnecessary.
The performances were great as well by everyone in the cast.
So, overall, eight out of ten.

More fun than not
October 2023I so enjoy watching Lee Min-ki; like Han Ji-min; Suho was suitably unreadable with a dodgy edge; and a nice supporting cast.
I didn't find myself laughing out loud very often and did cringe a couple of times. Overall though, it was an enjoyable watch and the hunt for the serial killer managed to keep me guessing until the moment their identity was revealed.
There were some plot holes, due to either lazy writing and/or compromising to fit the story's direction. I'm never sure which, or even if it's purely that they know many viewers (with different tastes to mine), will still be happy.
I do get really frustrated when the realms of what's actually possible (even in fantasy), are chucked out the window... no one that gets repeatedly punched in the face during the same fight, or throws multiple punches themselves, will escape without a mark on them... including knuckles. The killer, however? Not a blemish. Seemed the only way their identity could be hidden in favour of many red herrings.
That's all OK really though. What wasn't, however, was Jang Yeol's far too aggressive and violent behaviour towards Ye Bun, early on in their acquaintanceship. I do not find it at all funny to see a man almost twice the size of the woman, flipping her on her back to the floor and almost throwing her around like a rag doll. The fact writers and directors seem to think that's OK and funny, is also a problem to me. I do get context and if these scenarios were based around defense, or a fighting lesson with humour etc, it would work. Not in this context, for my taste, though.
I loved the OST, especially Joohoney and Jemma's contributions; all songs are now on my playlist.
All in all, an OK watch. It got better, but some aspects were drawn out. The cast made the story for me.

Please understand what you're getting into.
This is a story about a 30-sum year old woman getting psychometric powers after touching the butt of a cow that got hit by a meteor... then using those powers (which only activate when she is touching a booty) to catch a serial killer.Of course Shenanigans ensue...
I don't understand why people are taking this drama seriously. This is a comedy, and its a damn good one.
All the jokes were funny and memorable. The cast did an excellent job. I didn't mind the lack of romance because its clear that isn't the point of the show. The goal is to make you laugh! That is what I needed and wanted!
Music and cinematography were great! Added several tracks to my OST list!
I thought the chemistry was fine... some people are complaining about their dynamic when its legit enemies to lovers. ML starts off thinking the FL is a S3x offender... I can understand him being abrasive to her touching him without consent. His reactions were totally appropriate!!! Despite that their relationship develops and deepens.
Its a fun(ny) solid drama that warmed me up!

Must watch! Best suspense thriller
The story initially seems boring and predictable types but trust me DO NOT LEAVE THIS MIDWAY NO MATTER HOW MUCH TIME IT TAKES FOR YOU TO GET GLUED ON TO THIS DRAMA!!I usually love rom coms more but this is much better than what I was expecting out of it.
If you like suspense thriller with comic element, this one is for you.
Only thing I found disappointing is that there were no kissing scenes at all despite having such good kissers as leads and great chemistry between them.
Rest everything right from acting, direction, story, etc was too good.
You will keep on guessing who the real culprit is and till the very end you won't find the correct answer to it which is the best part of this drama.
I really loved it... Though in the beginning I was about to give up but the leads chemistry and interaction kept me coming back to it and after a few episodes it's the story that kept me glued over it.
Do watch... It's worth your time!

So in the very first place, the acting of the star cast was what engaged me to watch it further. I have watched so many series that, at some point, we can guess or suspect who is the mastermind behind the game before the series reveals it. And my guess is always correct by 99.99% of the time. But I really could not tell until episode 15 was released. I used to think after every episode but couldn't reach the conclusion. I was really impressed by all the star cast and how they hide the serial killer very nicely through their acting. It becomes interesting after Detective Moon's brother dies.
The story is not particularly good, but the director and cast make it worthwhile to watch.
I would like to give over all 8.5 stars out of 10 but 10 out of 10 for the acting of the entire cast.

Watch for the comedy, not the romance.
Rolled on the floor laughing at their humor, very creative and unrepetitive. Multiple plot twist at the end that twisted so much the writer lost control of their own narrative and storyline. Ignored plotholes just to make the plot more thrilling. Unfortunately, the relationship between ML and FL is not reinforced at the end, feel forced. Even the side character relationships are more entertaining to watch than this couple. The crime is mediocre and doesn't make sense at the end (due to plot twists). An innocent bystander ended up solving the whole case and providing the evidence to catch the murderer, doing more than ML and FL risking their lives investigating all movie.Watch if you can ignore a dumb story for the laughs and cries.

THIS IS NOT A ROMANCE DRAMA
Okay so going into the show I thought it was a romantic thriller and for a while it seemed that way since there were like love interests for the fl but no. The ml seems to like to butthen it just looks like he is using her, we never really get to see their relationship as a romantic one.
moreover, I gave it a low rewatching rating because in order to actually enjoy it, you need to be completely clueless so u can go around guessing the culprit together with the characters.
I would have given it a higher rating if the fl and ml had some romance because it seemed like everyone but them did

A little disappointing
This series was a little disappointing. It started out clever and funny but then it got silly and unbelievable. I could have done without the whole last episode.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
**MAJOR SPOILERS**
She was in love with Sunwoo (Suho of EXO!!) the entire series and was devastated when he died. Then a few days later she was flirting with the detective that she had helped the entire time and had no romantic feelings for whatsoever. It’s like they were thrown together last minute to give it a happy ending. I didn’t buy it.
The killer being the shaman was predictable.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I usually watch all my K-dramas in Korean with English subtitles. I want to hear the actor’s real voice and emotions. For some reason, I watched this one dubbed. The main cast was dubbed pretty well but there were some that just sounded ridiculous. Such as the man who was psychic by touching legs. They gave him a voice like Eeyore when his Korean voice was nothing like that. Made you think he was totally unintelligent. Surprising how a voice can totally change a character.
Overall, it was okay but there are so many other fantastic series that I could have been watching instead.
