Behind Your Touch (2023)

A very entertaining drama !

I watched it and binged it . Han Ji Min is a favourite actress of mine and she did not disappoint . She was so funny , convincing , entertaining , full of life opposite the detective from Seoul who thought that everyone in the town was either queer or a pervert and who looked down on everyone including his new team mates ( beautifully played by Lee Min Ki) . Hilarious moments , dark moments , mysterious moments , and chilling moments when the murders begin to occur , suspense . . Then it is all systems go for the team to investigate what is happening in this peaceful corner of their town . Until almost the very end after the police suspect was killed , I wondered who on earth was this evasive murderer . It is all beautifully revealed and the future looks bright for both our main characters . Delightful .

Fair share of suspense and comedy

All my favorite genres are combined in this one drama, which is suspense, crime, comedy, and romance.
although romance in this is very minimal the chemistry between leads is awesome, it's slow and gradual.
only two things bothered me. One is SML's death, I wish he didn't die, that did spoil my mood and left a bitter feeling towards the end. but there were a few comedy scenes after that to lift our mood, still, I wish he didn't die, that was very sad. the second one is that the leads kind of ended up together but nothing was official, maybe it was the end for us but a beginning for them and their relationship but I still wish there was more love story.

both leads acting was great, and even the side characters did a great job. overall loved it.

No romance

There is no romance. There is flirting, and actually very little of that at the end. I wish there was romance. I thought the 2 leads were cute, but the FL acted clueless. They should do a season 2 to catch up and then show romance, tk make up for the lack of in this season. I enjoyed the detective and seon Woo. Park annoyed me the entire show.

The show definitely kept me guessing. When I thought I knew the answer, it changed. Parks makeup bothered me in the last few episodes. I just didn't understand it compared to the others. The makeup was not blended out and looked very chalky.

Hilarious yet surprisingly dark

At first I wasn't sure about this, but hey I needed an English dubbed show to diamond art to, so I stuck with it. The ONLY reason I had pause was the FL, I just wasn't super sold on her. And dear god PLEASE the voices they choose for English subs sometimes are just, ridiculous.

But once I got into it, it was amazing. I couldn't stop watching it. Jang Yeol was hilarious with his pervert profiling of Ye Bun. I loved sweet SunWoo. Every side character was interesting as well. It REALLY did a great job at making you wonder who did it, and misleading you all over the place. I 100% didn't guess who had actually done it until maybe one episode before, if that.

The idea of butt touching was hilarious and never got old. I'm glad she kept her hair! Haha.

The romance was VERY minimal and after what happened to our poor SunWoo, I was happy that it was. She went from crushing so hard on him to being with Jang Yeol, if there was any romantic hint that she liked Jang Yeol at all, I could have let it slide. I did see Jang Yeol liking Ye Bun though. But like I said it is so minimal that it didn't bother me to much.

THE OS was AMAZING, I have it on my spotify playlist even.

AND finally we need to talk about how Ye Bun basically killed SunWoo. She could have grabbed the weapon and stabbed the killer! She could have at least taken the weapon AWAY from the killer! She just left him to die!

Overall an AMAZING show!

Hilarious and Terrifying

The story is about a woman who gets a superpower after getting hit by a meteor. She can see someone's memories by touching their butt whether it's an animal or a human. Luckily she's a vet, which means this power can help her to observe the animal memories and give an explanation or solution to her patient. In the journey, she meets with a detective. This detective has a mission to find a drug dealer. Later on, there is a serious case where there is a murderer in that village.

I like how they make the stories because it's so hilarious at first but later on it's become much more serious and intense to watch. There a several battle scenes that involve blood. So make sure you aren't afraid of blood if you want to watch this K-drama series. It's quite a plot-twist in the end when you know the culprit.

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.
