Behind Your Touch (2023)

AGHHHH

MAN I LOVED THIS SHOW!!

It was funny as hell and interesting each episode! When I first started it i didn’t expect much and honestly i started it because of Han Jimin since she’s one of my favourite actresses!? But really this kdrama is SO worth it. Each episode filled with mystery and comedy, My Liberation Notes and 2521 were preferenced and I loved it so much it was hilarious!!!??? Really this show has action, mystery and comedy and it’s executed so well! As someone who followed this story as the episodes were getting released, I was always excited for the new episode. AND the OST is amazing!!! The song is in my playlist now!!! Must watch really! And I can’t stop emphasising how funny the show was, they really got a laugh out of me each episode!

But honestly there is ONE thing I was a little iffy about and it’s how Yebun let the whole ‘my mother was murdered’ situation slide so easily. I get that the murderer died but still…

and also about seonwoo’s mother who disappeared! I’m so sad that he never got to find out!!! but on another note, I think everything else was perfect! Love it !!

Hilarious!

I laughed and laughed and laughed. This series became my weekly stress reliever because, as the old saying goes, laughter is truly the best medicine. One thing I loved about this series is that there were no wasted characters; everyone was essential to the plot. It had the perfect balance of tension, humor, suspense, and nonsense. I enjoyed every episode and never grew bored. My only criticism is that I was expecting a romantic comedy, but the romance was the weakest aspect of the series. However, the overall series was so excellent that it didn’t matter in the end.

That took an unexpected turn - Recommended!

Alright so.. wow! I expected a rom-com with some funny actions scenes but I did NOT expect it to be this good!

I watched it the second it came out and I was really looking forward for some rom-com + action but this really went a different way lol
I had high expectations and this reached its top! The story was well-written and the acting was amazing too. At first it just started as a comedy series with the two main characters building a love-hate relationship. Then it turned into a more thriller-like series with a touch of comedy. The romance lacked a little but honestly I'm not mad cause I loved that there was more focus on catching the murderer.

I watched the series in 1 day cause of how good it is. The plottwists made me question everything and when you think you know the answer a different clue pops up, messing with your head! It was really fun to watch and I laughed a lot with the butt-touching but it was also very sad and shocking as there were lots of innocent deaths.

The person that played the murderer did an AMAZING job! He disguised himself so well and he gained everyones trust. His power was definitely the strongest one.

I recommend this serie for sure especially if you like a drama with a huge plottwist and mysteries!

I LOVED THIS DRAMA

I really loved this drama. I confess that I didn't give anything to this drama, because i saw a lot of people saying that the script was very "superficial". However, I decided to watch it anyway and I was surprised. Drama is very funny and cheers you up in sad moments. The mystery surrounding the killer made me theorize and distrust most of the characters.I really liked the plot.Overall, I was very satisfied and will definitely rewatch it. The only thing that bothered me was the fact that one of the genres is romantic comedy. But there's nothing about romance, I was hoping the protagonists would get together but nothing happened.The only bad point is this but it wasn't something that ruined the Drama,

A weird ass drama that turned out to be my fave of the year

So maybe you’ve seen people talking about Behind Your Touch but you’re not quite sure whether you wanna watch a kdrama where the central premise involves reading people’s minds by grabbing their asses. Well I freakin' loved this show and here’s why I want everyone who’s been holding back on starting this one to check it out.

Behind Your Touch tells the story of Bong Ye Bon, a small town veterinarian who one night during a meteor shower acquires the ability to see people’s memories -- but only if she touches their butts. She teams up with Detective Moon Jang-yeol, a Seoul detective banished to the town because of a screw up, to solve crimes and soon they’re desperately scrambling to solve the mystery of her mother's death and to stop a serial killer. To give you a flavor for the tone of the show, their meet cute is when he arrests her for trying to test out her powers by touching a pickpocket’s behind on the bus.

There's a lot of bizarre comedy like when the FL’s best friend develops a crushes on the ML and keeps serenading him with an accordian. She has a girl squad who she calls on to provide muscle as needed, like the scene where they deliberately start a fight at a political rally so the FL can run through the crowd and touch as many asses as possible. The squad includes a token man who is subbing for his pregnant sister and refers to the 2FL as EONNI! There’s also a screamingly funny 2521 parody that goes on for half the drama (people were referring to it as 5551) and even a throwaway gag referencing a famous artwork by Yoko Ono. The small town residents speak in an impenetrable dialect that has to be translated for Detective Moon who can't understand what anyone is saying.

But even in the early episodes (which are the funniest), there’s elements of a disturbing thriller. For example, the very first scene of the drama shows poor Ye Bon watching her mother’s body getting pulled out of a car in the ocean. And the first episode also features a scene with a woman being dragged through the dirt by her hair

Also know that while there are some very sweet and deeply heartfelt moments and some heart fluttering moments, this is not a romance. While I was dying for something serious to go down between the leads, it's only ever alluded to. I still loved them together. And there are secondary romances which are delightfully bonkers.

As the drama goes on it become less and less about zany wacky shenanigans and more and more about omg where did he stick that knife. The body count is truly impressive and major characters who we deeply care about die which is a bold choice for the creators and raises the stakes for catching the killer.

Unfortunately the thriller part of the story eventually goes off the rails. This writing team has never produced a thriller before and it shows. There's a lot of huge plot holes and implausibilities in the unsatisfactory final episode. It's really too damned bad because up to ep 15 I was absolutely riveted by this show and loving every minute of it.

In addition to the mostly excellent writing (except for the final episode) I want to shout out the performances. Han Ji Min and Lee Min Ki are absolutely perfect as our chaotic crime fighting duo. They handle the comedy and tragedy equally well. The entire cast is stellar, especially the actor who portrays the killer. I also love the Mujin police officers and the local shop owners and fishermen.

My biggest problem with the drama was episode 16 which failed to close some gigantic plotholes and wasted time with cameos from people we didn't care about instead of giving us a proper ending for the main couple.

Despite all that I freakin' loved this show and rate it my favorite watch of the year. I need LMK and HJM in a proper romance together asap.

A Refreshing Romantic Comedy K-drama

I think this romantic comedy + crime thriller k-drama is refreshing and hilarious! I've watched 2 episodes so far and I can't help but chuckle & laugh. The story sets in a remote Mujin village & it's full of villagers with wacky personalities?

Overall, it feels like it was adapted from a manga or manhwa but I think it's an original series? I quite like the storyline & characters so far. The director for this K-drama is the same person who directs "My Liberation Notes", so if you like that drama, you might like this one.

I've watched 2 episodes and looking forward to the next episode!
