Behind Your Touch

Okay I nearly gave up this not once but twice, for some reason I kept going. It turned out more interesting than I thought it would ever be. The whodunnit part got pretty interesting despite a the silly plot device of a butt palm. There was some interesting acting and characters. I'm going to say Korean movies/series are better than anything in the US today. Some is over the top, but the writing is new and different. I like both of the major characters and they acted well together. Unlike some Korean stuff, the FL never appeared as a flawless beauty. She cute but rather plain not in a bad way, just not a flawless beauty. Both are prevalent for male and female leads, but not in this case. I'm sure that a few hours in a makeup chair would probably change my mind.

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.

If the last episode had been the first episode I would not have watched this series at all, in fact I would have turned it off after about 15 to 20 minutes. Sickening bullying violence is not my idea of entertainment and I watch tv and films to be entertained and/or amused, consequently this episode ruined the series completely for me. Although if the last episode was the first the story would have been about a person who healed people by pulling knives out of them and seeing them miraculously resurrected in the next episode, so maybe I would have watched it, hmmm?!?!

Watching the series in it's proper order what you have is a well made, well acted quality production . The script and storyline are engaging and the whodunit style of who is the killer and who is the next victim is very well paced. However, the series starts out with great humour and pathos but by the halfway point it turns into just another 'cops and robbers' drama, getting more and more dark towards the end culminating in a final episode of unnecessary violence. Even tacking on a short, lighter storyline at the end does not make amends.

Honestly I would recommend this series but with provisos , don't expect a series full of the oddball humour of the first few episodes, don't watch it if you dislike unnecessary violence and finally just treat it as a serious and well made whodunit with a bit of humour at the start. They say "Don't judge a book by its cover" , well don't judge this series by its first episodes or its title piece.

Oh and the series is worth watching just to hear 'We Disappear' by JEMMA....

I started this show unsure if I would like it, but the plot is so devious and unusual, that it makes me giggle. The comedy is fresh, not too zany, but strikes the right balance. It feels a bit like a slice of life story with characters (including supporting characters) that by episode 3, you start to care about. The female lead has a funny likeable energy, as well as the male lead, Lee Min Ki. I've seen him in a few kdramas, but the most memorable role for me was his role in, "Because This is My First Life," which is one of my favorites. I also saw him in Monster where he played a vicious serial killer who was so scary I didn't realize it was the same actor, which speaks to his range and acting abilities. In "Because This is My First Life", he is very restrained. His character in this role he is so different and relaxed. Oh and I also saw him in "The Beauty Inside" as the romantic lead, which is absolutely worth watching. I've seen the heroine in something else but I will have to put my finger on what it was, but I do like her.

This story, with its weirdness could have easily failed, but because of the lead actress and actor's acting abilities, the story shines and feels fun. Great job all around with the warm supporting cast.

The story left me suspecting everyone as the potential serial killer but I was not disappointed with who it turned out to be since I had suspected him all along on and off.

At times I felt like they killed off characters who should not have been killed off. So that was a disappointment. My only real complaint is that the last episode was completely nonsensical in every sense of the word and if the actors were not so charming they would not have been able to pull it off. The plot and the writing in the last episode was abysmal and all over the place. I could not believe how bad the last episode was. They managed to resolve the serial killing about 3/4 ths into the episode but there were so many things that was nonsensical about how the police officers and the violent crime division handled finding the killer that that I can no longer suspend disbelief. Still, in all it is a fun show that really made me laugh so I still enjoyed it overall.

To start my review I would like to say that I absolutely love the cast. Great actors!

Up to episode 13 the story caused huge suspense and was a thriller with high potential. And then from there on everything went down.

I was so disappointed with how the story turned from absolutely great to terrible within one episode. The creators of the series ( writers/ directors) made huge mistakes in the end. The way they turned the storyline is that they took away the entire climax.

After episode 14 I rapidly lost my interest. I watched the last 2 episodes which were predictable and went from bad to horrible. What a shame.

The last 2 murders were not serving the storyline any good. When they killed my favourite character I knew that they could not turn around the storyline no matter what they did. It was a big mistake. All the hope on a blossoming romance was ended.

The last 2 episodes were ridiculously written. Who approves this kind of writing? And why would any producer pay to have the story made like this.

I start to notice that Netflix productions create a hype in emotions and that's about it. They aren't able to deliver good writing.

I hope all these talented actors will be more critical when choosing a role and that they demand better scripts and budgets. Netflix seems to be using them.

All with all I would unfortunately not recommend this show. Strictly because of the ending.

Actors did their work exceedingly well. It's the writers and directors that should have done better.
