Hip (2023)

Good Enough

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.

Bello e fatto bene

Partiamo col dire che venivo da un periodo di drama "meh", cioè drama che avevo guardato però o non mi erano piaciuti, o non mi avevano preso. E sulla carta non mi ispirava tantissimo neppure questo. Avevo già visto drama e anche telefilm americani sulla psicometria da patita dei romanzi e telefilm con un pizzico di paranormal. Non per nulla ero grande fan del telefilm MEDIUM. Però ho voluto comunque dargli una possibilità e per fortuna che l'ho fatto perchè questo drama è stato una boccata d'aria fresca dopo mesi di delusioni. Carino, divertente, irriverene, capace di prendersi in giro ma senza esagerare, senza eroine martiri a casa o sul lavoro o so tutto io, senza predestinazioni o ci eravamo incontrati in fasce quindi era destino di reincontrassimo, e senza cattivi troppo ovvi o che alla fine si autodenunciano.
NO, qui c'è da ridere, c'è da commuoversi, c'è da pensare, c'è un'indagine abbastanza seria, un killer che finalmente ammette che non uccide per un motivo ma solo perchè gli piace quindi è inutile che la polizia cercasse un movente....Tutto torna e anche i protagonisti non si innamorano di colpo, c'è una simaptia ma questo non è un drama romance e lo sa. E il fatto che l'eroina debba toccare i sederi per vedere il passato delle persone da quel giusto pizzico di brio alla cosa senza mai cadere nel volgare. Così come i poteri derivanti da una mucca esplosa. Forse l'unico difetto che posso trovare al drama è che dalla metà in poi è molto più serio e cupo, pur non dimenticando mai le sue radici ironiche, e due o tre episodi potevano forse essere tagliati verso il finale. Infatti l'indagine gira un po' su se stessa. Ma ci sta per confondere lo spettatore e poi tutto vierne spiegato bene grazie al cielo. Se non fosse per il finale della puntata finale che mi ha lievemente deluso perchè speravo i due protagonisti almeno uscissero ufficialmente insieme, gli avrei dato nove pieno.

Não é para mim

Se você gosta de humor pastelão, aquele bem forçado e quer algo para passar o tempo esse drama é para você , boa sorte vai precisar.
Agora se não gosta do genêro não embarque nessa, vai por mim isso vai te deixar irritado.
Eu não gostei de nada deste drama , a história do assasinato até que era interessante , porém a comédia exagerada destruiu qualquer interesse que eu tinha por isso.
Infelizmente não essse drama não funcionou para mim , assisti até o fim por inssistencia e orgulho pois por pior que seja gosto de asssistir tudo , tentei achar algo que valesse a pena mas realmente não achei. Aquele humor forçado, personagens caricatos só faziam que eu me revirasse no sofá.

More fun than not

October 2023
I so enjoy watching Lee Min-ki; like Han Ji-min; Suho was suitably unreadable with a dodgy edge; and a nice supporting cast.

I didn't find myself laughing out loud very often and did cringe a couple of times. Overall though, it was an enjoyable watch and the hunt for the serial killer managed to keep me guessing until the moment their identity was revealed.

There were some plot holes, due to either lazy writing and/or compromising to fit the story's direction. I'm never sure which, or even if it's purely that they know many viewers (with different tastes to mine), will still be happy.

I do get really frustrated when the realms of what's actually possible (even in fantasy), are chucked out the window... no one that gets repeatedly punched in the face during the same fight, or throws multiple punches themselves, will escape without a mark on them... including knuckles. The killer, however? Not a blemish. Seemed the only way their identity could be hidden in favour of many red herrings.

That's all OK really though. What wasn't, however, was Jang Yeol's far too aggressive and violent behaviour towards Ye Bun, early on in their acquaintanceship. I do not find it at all funny to see a man almost twice the size of the woman, flipping her on her back to the floor and almost throwing her around like a rag doll. The fact writers and directors seem to think that's OK and funny, is also a problem to me. I do get context and if these scenarios were based around defense, or a fighting lesson with humour etc, it would work. Not in this context, for my taste, though.

I loved the OST, especially Joohoney and Jemma's contributions; all songs are now on my playlist.

All in all, an OK watch. It got better, but some aspects were drawn out. The cast made the story for me.

Must watch! Best suspense thriller

The story initially seems boring and predictable types but trust me DO NOT LEAVE THIS MIDWAY NO MATTER HOW MUCH TIME IT TAKES FOR YOU TO GET GLUED ON TO THIS DRAMA!!

I usually love rom coms more but this is much better than what I was expecting out of it.

If you like suspense thriller with comic element, this one is for you.

Only thing I found disappointing is that there were no kissing scenes at all despite having such good kissers as leads and great chemistry between them.

Rest everything right from acting, direction, story, etc was too good.

You will keep on guessing who the real culprit is and till the very end you won't find the correct answer to it which is the best part of this drama.

I really loved it... Though in the beginning I was about to give up but the leads chemistry and interaction kept me coming back to it and after a few episodes it's the story that kept me glued over it.

Do watch... It's worth your time!

In the beginning of the drama, you find it very childish, like stories made for kids, 'that touch the animals butt and get know that they have seen.' In the first few episodes, I was not very fond of this drama. But when Dr. Bong and Detective Moon started arguing about stupid things, I felt it was interesting. It made me enjoy the drama. Not because I was curious about suspense, but because of the chemistry between both of them.
So in the very first place, the acting of the star cast was what engaged me to watch it further. I have watched so many series that, at some point, we can guess or suspect who is the mastermind behind the game before the series reveals it.  And my guess is always correct by 99.99% of the time. But I really could not tell until episode 15 was released. I used to think after every episode but couldn't reach the conclusion. I was really impressed by all the star cast and how they hide the serial killer very nicely through their acting.  It becomes interesting after Detective Moon's brother dies.
The story is not particularly good, but the director and cast make it worthwhile to watch.

I would like to give over all 8.5 stars out of 10 but 10 out of 10 for the acting of the entire cast.

Watch for the comedy, not the romance.

Rolled on the floor laughing at their humor, very creative and unrepetitive. Multiple plot twist at the end that twisted so much the writer lost control of their own narrative and storyline. Ignored plotholes just to make the plot more thrilling. Unfortunately, the relationship between ML and FL is not reinforced at the end, feel forced. Even the side character relationships are more entertaining to watch than this couple. The crime is mediocre and doesn't make sense at the end (due to plot twists). An innocent bystander ended up solving the whole case and providing the evidence to catch the murderer, doing more than ML and FL risking their lives investigating all movie.

Watch if you can ignore a dumb story for the laughs and cries.

THIS IS NOT A ROMANCE DRAMA

Okay so going into the show I thought it was a romantic thriller and for a while it seemed that way since there were like love interests for the fl but no. The ml seems to like to but
then it just looks like he is using her, we never really get to see their relationship as a romantic one.

moreover, I gave it a low rewatching rating because in order to actually enjoy it, you need to be completely clueless so u can go around guessing the culprit together with the characters.

I would have given it a higher rating if the fl and ml had some romance because it seemed like everyone but them did

A little disappointing

This series was a little disappointing. It started out clever and funny but then it got silly and unbelievable. I could have done without the whole last episode.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
**MAJOR SPOILERS**
She was in love with Sunwoo (Suho of EXO!!) the entire series and was devastated when he died. Then a few days later she was flirting with the detective that she had helped the entire time and had no romantic feelings for whatsoever. It’s like they were thrown together last minute to give it a happy ending. I didn’t buy it.

The killer being the shaman was predictable.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I usually watch all my K-dramas in Korean with English subtitles. I want to hear the actor’s real voice and emotions. For some reason, I watched this one dubbed. The main cast was dubbed pretty well but there were some that just sounded ridiculous. Such as the man who was psychic by touching legs. They gave him a voice like Eeyore when his Korean voice was nothing like that. Made you think he was totally unintelligent. Surprising how a voice can totally change a character.

Overall, it was okay but there are so many other fantastic series that I could have been watching instead.

The show should be called "Guess the killer game"!

I've watched Memorist and Pyschometric, so I thought..how different could this be right?

Well, apparently it is quite different, especially the way the psychometric is being done...lol
Now, I get why the title suggest "BEHIND" your touch!

I didn't know who the ML and FL are, so I'm not sure at first , but I ended up loving both ML!

I love how thrilling yet comedic this is, making it not too heavy to watch. I laughed a lot too.

It's also so exciting that it got you round and round guessing wtf is the killer. I thought I guessed it right, but apparently not.

It'd have been a 10, if it's not bcoz of some details like

- I feel there is some part that is draggy. I don't think we need too much scenes explaining what happened in Mujin back then. An appropriate flashes would do the job, really. This causes me to skip some parts

-I am q disappointed how stubbornly foolish the ML is by being obsessed about the suspect. If only he had loosen his grip, he'd have literally guessed the killer who is RIGHT in front of him, if he had not been obssessed about the other guy

-I am also q frustrated by how naive the FL can be lol...she basically is a little bit bimbo which is what i hate about the typical portrayal of Kdrama FL. Where you get pure and innocent FL, which I support, but it doesnt mean it has to be a dumb one. Like, we can have FL who is pure cute, inncocent and smart, isn't it?

Despite these minor flaws, I'd still say the show is really good and worth the watch.

A show that is genre bending - cannot simply box it

This show made me laugh, gave me some truly tense moments, kept me on the edge, made me love Lee Min Ki and actively hate some characters. This show cannot not be boxed into a genre. It's definitely NOT a rom, it's a com, very much so in the fist half, and then as it progresses, less and less so until it morphs into a bloody, gory, psycological crime thriller. One of the few shows that made the crime thriller stick the landing. However, had they infused some humour into catching the killer, the show would have truly stood out. As for romance, don't look for it. There is barely any, it's lip service. They wasted the trememdous chemistry between Han Ji Min and Lee Min Ki, and I absolutely hated the last five minutes of this show. But boy, Lee Min Ki looked edibly good, especially in the last four episodes. One star just for that . One extra star for sensitvely handling a topic that could have been very crude but fabulously handled.
7.5 for a decent crime thriller and Lee Min Ki and Han Ji Min and the adorable Joo Min-Kyung and making successful jokes butt jokes without being corny.

Show had great moments but it was all over the place

The acting was on point. However the story was disjointed. Maybe because there were 3 writers and 2 directors, but it felt they didn’t have a clear picture of what they wanted their story to be. Is it comedy drama, is it suspense thriller or fantasy, they tried to include all but it didn’t transition well. It didn’t help they killed off Suho, the most interesting character in the show.

Additionally, they started some back stories with characters, but instead of finishing a clear concise story for each, once they were killed off it wasn’t brought up again.

The overall idea and concept of this story was brilliant, it just needed consistency throughout. Also, don’t make a character you plan to kill off the most likable one in your show.
