pls watch the show
im usually not a comedic fan i usually enjoy thriller horror or law/criminal kdramas but this was the first comedic drama ive watched and let me tell you it CHANGED my kdrama game. i honestly usually dont find romcom kdramas funny but the first episode had me DYIINGGG my laptop ur laptop samsungggg laptopppp girl the female lead was so funny. its crazy cuz i finished goblin and immediately watched this kdrama (if u know u know). the story line was kinda generic but it was still super interesting. the way they got into the story explaining how she cant act and explaining why and then the man who basically ruined her career coming back. it was super well written. the female lead is an actress in the drama like ... a terrible actress .... thats her literal role .... its insane. and so funny. the break up was a little random in my opinion but other than that it is one of the funniest kdramas ive ever watched.Was this review helpful to you?
OST-
It was so good. I found myself listening the songs on their own. So good, and i liked the combination of English and Korean songs. And im not surprised that there are songs from Chen and Wendy and many more talents...
ACTING-
I loved it, i non stop commented how the main actress is really good at playing adorable girl. She never made me cringe, nor did main actor. They both potrayed their characters personalities well, and even side actors expressed their characters well.
PLOT-
The plot is very satisfying, i liked the idea of potryaing that the law and trials aren't as dramatic as they seem in drames. I liked how the the FL wasn't stuck up, nor how theres no rivalry for drama. It's a very tame love story, and it does not depend on misunderstandings. I also love how, lets say 'a enemy' because it wasn't really that, it only was there for 2-3 épisodes, was introduced early, but happened later on.
It really surprised me how much un-drama like it is. There's no bitchy women, nor misunderstandings to get the story going. It Linda shows how much this drama does not need those things, cliches to let it grow.

Really enjoyable, minimal angst
I can't help but wonder if the people who complain about the lack of "story" are just missing revenge, backstabbing, and plotting, because that is the most common method of moving story along in Dramas. Either that, or they draaaaaag along like Hometown Cha Cha Cha or You Are My Glory.I personally could not have been happier with the execution of this show. I get easily frustrated and annoyed with obnoxious side characters, betrayal subplots, exes, misunderstandings, etc. and I managed to get through this without feeling homicidal toward support characters even once. It was easy to suspend disbelief and endure the minor issues in order to get to the goal. And I actually enjoyed the ride. The colleagues at the law firm were all endearing and ultimately provided a lot of laughs. And the roommate/college friend (LSW) of the ML is so great and well-cast.
My two biases are that I like Rom-coms with minimal drama (my all time fav is You Are My Glory, despite it dragging sometimes, but that's hard to avoid with the length of Cdramas) and that I really just wanted to see Sunny and Grim Reaper (from Goblin) get the romance they deserved, and I really felt "Touch Your Heart" delivered on that. I especially enjoyed the subtle nods to Goblin and the scene when the FL says that the ML looks are a waste. It reminded me of when the FL in Goblin said "Isn't the grim reaper needlessly handsome?" So funny!!!

Want to be in a good mood? Watch this!
If candy-floss was a drama this would be it. Absolute delight and all-around feelgood show. There is almost zero conflict in this drama and when there is conflict it is often solved within an episode or two. This drama is like watching cute animal videos and youtube, it just makes you feel good and laugh. The chemistry between Lee Dong Wook and Yo In Na is great and it was fun to see them on screen together again after Goblin but there are a few other couples in this show and they all get their time to shine.Was this review helpful to you?

My heart is touched every time I rewatch this!??♥️♥️
Ahhh these two!!! I just love them so much!! Lee Dong-wook and Yoo In-na have insane chemistry. I honestly have never seen Lee Dong-wook not have amazing chemistry with anyone. He is just a wonderful and wholesome human. The story is superb and the acting is off the charts. Every character was amazing. The music is on point, too. I love how Yoo In-na can act like a horrible actress and then become an amazing one. And Lee Dong-wook!!! Is there anything this man can't pull off?! He is so awkward and adorable but also a jerk and then he is the sweetest hedgehog ever and is so soft and loving with her. And I love how he refuses to call her by her real name. His efforts to do things for her were so cute and it was so funny that he failed. He is so protective of her and I love his winks across the table to her. And he is so understanding and willing to sacrifice for her that it breaks my heart. And Mr. Choi and Ms. Dan were so funny. I loved how they ended up together.Was this review helpful to you?
Pretty boring
Tbh, I watched this drama for The OG couple of goblin but it was not that great, I feel they could have improvised it. It was more like dragging the scenes and episodes, could have been lil more spicy-er. I don't think I would rewatch it again. 8 eps would have been sufficient 🙌🏻.I do love the law firm and the love second leads, it's a nice office type of drama. The director could have kept it Short and sweet. Many areas I felt heroine acting as too much compared to rest of the cast 🙌🏻🙌🏻

Maybe it's because I've been stuck in the Thai BL world after Chinese Dramas broke my heart about three years ago, but I've been sleeping on these dramas. This one, the title sounded a little weird but someone recommended it for me and I have to say, great rec. Over the last week or so, I've been catching up on Korean romance dramas and I have to say I'm in heaven. TOUCH YOUR HEART was so good. It had hints of mystery tossed in for a little fun, romance, sensuality--so good.
The female lead - top notch! Loved her personality. Love her spirit, her swag. She was an airhead but it's the kind that is only an airhead when she has to be but not in ever situation. She was light and loving and kind and all the good things.
The male lead - omg. So handsome, and alpha yet sweet - these are the kind of men I usually aim to write. Lee Dong Wook, I am ashamed to say I didn't recognize him until the last five episode. Now, as punishment (lol) I am going to dig to find other dramas with him because I love him. I'm even going to rewatch Goblin.
The character he plays has this air of innocent masculinity to him--you know, the kind of man we all dream of before the toxicity hits. And Lee Dong Wook was perfect in this. The emotions, and the laughter and the friendships!
Let's talk secondary characters for a bit - Love them all. I felt bad for Doo Sub though. He deserved to be happy too. The way that whole story ended for him broke my heart. I wish so much he could get his happy ending too because he's such a sweetheart.
Okay, the music in this was amazing. I know I heard Chen (from Exo) in there. It was romantic and soothing and all the beautiful things!!
There were a few times it dragged a little. But nothing that can't be overlooked.
If you guys know of anymore dramas like this one, send them my way. I will take all the happy endings!
Watch this and if you've seen it already, watch it again! I've been going through writer's block lately and this helped so much more toward being unblocked.
넌 할 수있어 !!!

A piece of jewelry rom-com. If you like Korean rom-coms, you'll love this!
I started without too many expectations. Of course, the lead female is sweet and really beautiful, but there was no chemistry with my style. Slowly I got into the atmosphere, but what really motivated me is the genuinity of the characters. They behave as they should behave. I didn't expect that In-na will be like her the entire series, but she is!! There are no shenanigans, no Deus Ex Machina scenes, she, who looks like a pretty minimum intelligence failed actress, will not solve the mystery of the universe or whatever, but she is sweet, candid, feelings smart (this is s one of the most important of the ten types of intelligence), and very very consistent. The same for the lead actor. The ending is also very pleasant, straightforward and consistent. Oh well, k-dramas (comedies) must have clowns, that, of course, are present here as well, however Yoo In-na and Lee Dong-wook offered me a great time. I strongly recommend it!! If you loved it, please try True to Love, which is also a piece of jewelry.Was this review helpful to you?

light-hearted
such a lovely story, i loved every second of it.. through the story, even though it's made to be light and funny, it has plenty of reality checks, talking about serious topics.. but never stops being charming.. the actors did an amazing job, i love them as a duo. actually loved every part of show, from the music choice, to the side couples, the chaotic energy, it was just so perfect I'm not gonna lie.. i hope more and more people will see this drama since it's so well made.. i hardly like romcoms but this one truly stole my heartWas this review helpful to you?

Very light romantic comedy that will send butterflies to your stomach
I haven't watched Goblin yet but when I see Lee DongWook and Yoo InNa together they look like they have a good chemistry on screen so I decided to give this a try. I wasn't disappointed because aside from those occassional bursts of laughter from me, they really did send me sparks and romance between them. The story overall feels neutral, although there are some 'law' stories going on, it doesn't really delve into that category that much. It mostly kept the romantic comedy vibe. It's not bad yet it's not that impressive.I'm just glad that they made the character less annoying than usual k-dramas. Most of the k-dramas I've watched is a grumpy leading man who fell in love and became a nice guy but in this one they created a male lead who's stern but knows how to apologize when needed and acknowledges his own actions then eventually became a sweet guy (at least in his own little ways). Then we have a female lead who's an actress who's not dumb. Terrible at acting (not referring to InNa because she's great, I'm just describing her character) but is really doing her best in whatever she does which actually impressed me. Their secret office romance is so cute that it just gives off a smile on my face as I'm watching it. The side romances from the supporting characters is also cute and funny.
Maybe the best thing I could take from this series is the OST. Good Night by Jeong Sewoon and What if Love by Wendy is definitely staying on my playlist. I've been listening to these songs for days on repeat and I just can't get enough.
This is one of the classics I think. Not super hype but something really worth the watch.
