Behind Your Touch

Most stupid FL I've ever seen in kdrama. She's pure idiot. MC always reminding her that Second ML is serial killer suspect, but whenever she is with him, her tale waiver like a dog infront of his owner. it's annoying and stupid. And in the last when Second ML was dead for saving her. she ran away in fear, she can save him, nife was dropped near her leg, but this stupid cow ran away in fear. And when Second ML was dead, she blame it on MC, because of him her so-called was killed. Ending was dumb. it was completed unnecessary, i guess they just wanted to extend this show for 16 episode. My rating for this drama 5/10.

Very innovative drama attempting to balance a comedy/satire show with a murder/mystery one. The writing is pretty slick, despite the material at first seeming absurd (!) Once you've accepted the initial premise, however that our heroine vet surgeon, Han Ji-Min has become imbued with special powers there's plenty of entertainment that awaits. What I really appreciated the most were the oblique Korean cultural gags, for example that the village shaman would idolize of all people the US General. MacArthur, or that this small fishing community had its own idioms of expression that proved pretty baffling to outsiders (in the same vein as outsiders to Korea might initially encounter Korean society). At one point the script even went as far as to jokingly reference lines from another K-Drama, "My Liberation Diary". But Behind My Touch does illustrate just how far K-Drama has progressed since 2010, and if you are in the mood for a light, satirical murder mystery then this could be the one.

I enjoyed this show, it has a good amount of humour and the whodunnit part of the story will have suspecting everyone, many times over. The characters are good, believable enough that some you like, some you don't and others you keep changing your mind about because you're not quite sure if they're good or bad. Quite why the last episode veers off is anyones guess, its like they finished and someone said, "hold up! We have another 35 minutes to fill" and what would have been an 8/8.5 has to settle for a 7 because it was just far too much of a let down, the slow whimper of an end that no one deserved.

I liked the show, but I was very disappointed by the ending. Could have been a 9 or 10 if the ending was not so lame. Ye-bun ends up with a work obsessed Moon who puts her right back into police work which lead to so much misery for her. And worse yet, inside a prison with dangerous characters, really!! Ye-Bun also goes public with her power (which we know already criminals wanted to kidnap her and leverage). Better endings? Of course: 1) End it episode 14 with Seon-Woo surviving the attack, catch Park (shaman) and Ye-bun and Seon-woo live a happy quiet life in Mujin. 2) Moon stays in Mujin with Ye-bun and lives a quite life I was totally rooting for Ye-bun and Seon-woo to be together. They have far more in common and clearly connected. And Seon-woo would be a far more attentive partner, clearly cared more for Ye-bun. For cleanup, something should have been done about the gangster that knew about Ye-bun's power. He is bound to come kidnap her, right?? And in NO ending should Ye-bun have been displaying her powers to the world. Sigh, I really wonder what the director was thinking or however decided how to wrap this series up. :( :(

I had to stop watching after episode 4. The whole premise of seeing people's memories when you touch their butt is funny until the main character is just running around sexually assaulting everyone. Along with depicting a victim of kidnap, torture and attempted murder as completely unaffected by the incident cuz she's a stuck up social media star?? As if that dehumanization isn't apart of the reason she was targeted in the first place. AND THEN having one of the "good characters" call her a brat for saying it's annoying that some old man randomly touched her while they were in an elevator THAT WOULD ALREADY BE ANNOYING BUT OMG SHE JUST GOT KIDNAPPED, TORTURED, AND ALMOST MURDERED, IF ANYONE IS ALLOWED TO BE SENSITIVE TO NONCONSENSUAL TOUCHES ITS HER!!
