Behind Your Touch

Only 4 episodes have been aired, and I've enjoyed them quite a bit so far.

The setting is comfortable and the characters are fun. Like another reviewer mentioned, no annoying personalities have showed up, at least not yet. The aunt has the potential to become annoying but she has mostly been amusing till now.

I like the humor - it's not over-the-top and not based on stupidity, like in many Korean shows.

There's only one thing which bothered me: how could the aunt "sell" our female lead to a fish farm without her consent? It seemed to be a type of slavery on some island. Why do they all just go back to normal? Is it some sort of vet duty? It must be some local cultural reference that I'm missing.

Edit: sadly, I have to remove a few stars now that I have watched the full series.

As the story develops, I was becoming more and more incredulous. Based on the opening episodes, I've settled for a cosy small town mystery with cute animals--only to find myself watching a grim, mass murder rampage.

It's not the first time that a Korean drama does this complete genre switch on me. I can't say I like it. In this case, I just can't mix "light comedy" with "killing spree."

The last 2 episodes are just farcical.

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.

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.

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.

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.
