this drama really surprised me, I didn't expect much from it, I thought it would be generic and silly, but it surprised me a lot!!!!I was truly surprised by the protagonist's personality, she is a person that you think will be boring and spoiled and that will be changed by the drama, but in fact you discover that she is an extremely loving person, polite and that she didn't need to. of change. in the narrative she gets involved in a controversy that is not to blame and to get her career back she does an internship at a law firm. the way it shows her there is the most comical and friendly one I've ever seen. i know so many laughs with kdrama's secondary advocates that i will never forget the incredible dynamics of them all. and very comical and special this drama.
The couple's love is developed in the best possible way, you can see the love being born in a sincere and pleasant way to see. It's not forced and generic love, it's really captivating. it surprises me
I found it interesting the way he rewrote the cliché of the ugly boss and good employee, because the development delivers and shows more than just a cliché, it's a kdrama that you root for everything to work out until the last minute

Lee Dong Wook's visual is no joke!
I watched this drama due to one specific reason: Lee Dong Wook. At the time I started watching this drama, I was crazy about him and there were 2 titles of his dramas I had on my list: Touch Your Heart and Strangers From Hell and I chose to watch Touch Your Heart instead.One thing I fond the most about Touch Your Heart is Yoo In Na's fashion. In every episode, I was like: "Wow! She's very fashionable!"
The storyline is good, so is the acting of all the casts. I have no complains since this is the typical drama which has a simple storyline and cute conflicts.

A sweet reunion of beloved leads in a predictable yet heartwarming rom-com
Touch Your Heart (2019) – 7.5/10: A Fluffy Rom-Com That Charms with Chemistry but Lacks Depth💖 THE GOOD:
Yoo In-na as Oh Yoon-seo – A fallen actress trying to revive her career by working as a secretary; her bubbly personality brings warmth to the screen.
Lee Dong-wook as Kwon Jung-rok – A stoic lawyer whose gradual softening adds a layer of sweetness to the narrative.
On-screen chemistry – The reunion of the "Goblin" couple delivers delightful moments that fans will appreciate.
⚖️ THE "ALMOST, BUT..." MOMENTS:
Predictable plot – The storyline follows familiar rom-com tropes, offering few surprises.
Pacing issues – The narrative slows down in the latter half, potentially testing viewers' patience.
Limited character development – Supporting characters lack depth, making it challenging to fully invest in their arcs.
🎬 STANDOUT SCENES:
Office interactions – The contrast between Yoon-seo's lively demeanor and Jung-rok's reserved nature leads to amusing and endearing moments.

Filled The Heart
I watched the two main leads before in Great and Lonely God Goblin and it was so depressing to see how Sunny and Grim Reaper ended. This drama makes me feel really good and kinda sequel, gave a closure after Goblin."Touch Your Heart" will fill your heart with abundance love & infinite joy.
Touch Your Heart "Team" did a great job. The storyline has romance, heartbreak, resolution, comedy, suspense, climax and mystery. The best part was Lee Dong Wook (Kwon Jung Rok) as introvert and Yoo In Na (Oh Yeon seo/Oh Jin Shim) as extrovert but both played a cute, childish, innocent character. The love, care and respect in ML eyes, the way he slow n steadily fall in love with FL was so mesmerizing...WaaaooW.
All the characters have a charm. The connection between all the attorneys was so heart-warming. I like how other co-couples also shows a good bonding & happy ending.
If you love wholeheartedly its better when you say thing at the right moment, forget to judge, compete, or compare and avoid misunderstanding, hurts, break-up and put love, trust and respect @ first for each other. 😊

Use as recommended
Summary: A sweet and simple love story that could very well be blamed on fate, I found “Touch Your Heart” to be a nice romcom (with a little mystery) that didn’t twist too hard into other genres. All the characters felt lovable, except the short-lived villains of course, and difficulties or misunderstandings got resolved quickly. The ending was a bit boring to me, wasn’t much story to tell after they cleared some misunderstandings. Interestingly, I was drawn to this drama through one of the soundtrack songs, which are solid as well. I also appreciated that the product advertising was somewhat more subtle than in other dramas but now I’m feeling like I need to get a ginseng drink before I can move on with life. Lol. I’d consider this show a rainy day re-watch but not high on my list.I’ve presented some points of story hole evidence at the end of this commentary.
Details: Now that I think about it, there wasn’t a whole lot of exciting situations happening in the story but somehow it kept me entertained. The synopsis of the male lead being cold-hearted didn’t match in my mind. I just perceived that he was just very particular and straightforward about certain matters. There’s plenty of other dramas with super cold (and easily hatable) male leads…but this one was like mild sauce in comparison. Would have loved to see more backstory on Lawyer Kwon Jung Rok's relationship with his father.
The love story between the leads was sweet and it was nice to see their character development over some episodes. Honestly, Kwon Jung Rok is one of the sweetest male leads I’ve seen, a genuinely nice guy. Just gave Oh Jin Sim/Yeon Set a hug when she was guiltily trying to reveal the truth about her situation; he gave her a lot of grace. But of course did dumb things to hurt her in an attempt to help her. I like the references to classic Audrey Hepburn’s Roman Holiday (the filmmakers have good taste) to scare the viewer into wondering what kind of ending it would be (but we weren’t fooled, right?).
I got more of a kick out of the awkward love story between the law firm co-workers Dan Moon Hee and Choi Yoon Hyuk. Lololol. Lawyer Choi’s momma’s boy behavior and little monologues to sexy guitar riffs was so hilarious!
By the last handful of episodes, I was not sure what more story there could be without any villains or mystery left, even with some plot twists thrown in. I can’t say I’m disappointed that there wasn’t much drama to this drama. But I also can’t say it’s a must-watch either. Use as recommended, let it touch your heart with the straightforward love story. :)
Side Notes:
- Do Subways in Korea really sell Americanos? I saw a menu with a seafood sandwich but not any coffee type items.
- Hole in the story, Exhibit A: (between the leads) if you were someone’s ride and took a walk with them in a deserted area, why would you just leave them there by themselves (even if your relationship changed)? Most people with common sense would at least drive the other person home.
- Hole in the story, Exhibit B: (encounter with villain 1) how was Lee Gang Joon able to break into Oh Yeon Seo’s house and how did Kwon Jung Rok get in so easily as well? I get that Lee Gang Joon was stalking her but none of those details were how he obtained so much private personal information on her. Just implying that he’s a chaebol isn’t good enough. Also, why did they have Oh Yeon Seo hire Kwon Jung Rok as her lawyer, then just drop the story in the same episode? Strange.
- I’ve seen Hwang Chan Sung as a great villain in "...Married an Anti-Fan (2021)"; wondering why he (who had already a long resume of dramas by 2019) took a small role as a delivery person. Confused. Lol.

Lee Dong Wook & Yoo In Na made me watch it.
At first, I found Oh Yoon Seo childish, but she slowly grew onto me.Yun Joon kyu refused to take an actress as a trainee, but on a second, agreed upon hearing Oh Yoon Seo name.
The way Oh Yoon Seo tried to pick papers.
Oh Yoon Seo is not a spoiled brat, that actress who is shown in other dramas. She can cook and clean, which is a rare quality for an actress. She gets along well with everyone in the firm. They’re her first friends as she never had any genuine friends before. Oh Yoon Seo has a strong personality. The way she took all the insults & criticism with a smile & never lost control. She has a tough past but shows everyone that nothing happened.
Kwon Jung Rok is cranky, serious, workaholic and a brilliant attorney.
Oh Yoon Seo looked cute in her drunken state.
Oh Yoon Seo is jealous of every girl that’s around Kwon Jung Rok.
Loved Kwon Jung Rok confession to Oh Yoon Seo. The way she back hugged him is so cute.
Love the way Kwon Jung Rok Kim Se Won defended him in front of Oh Yoon Seo
Kim Se Won is Kwon Jung Rok dating advisor
Loved the scene between Kwon Jung Rok, Oh Yoon Seo & Kim Se Won.
Kwon Jung Rok & Oh Yoon Seo amusement park adventure the way Kwon Jung Rok was afraid in every ride & Oh Yoon Seo enjoying them to the fullest.
Oh Yoon Seo uses dry lips as an excuse to kiss Kwon Jung Rok which is mainly done by ML.
Love Oh Yoon Seo manager. Gong Hyuk Joon is always there for her, supporting her, protecting her like a big brother.

This story wouldn't usually be my go-to but I ended up really liking it.Maybe it's just me but I felt like the show didn't focus on their relationship that much, but more like pursuing lawsuits, the main character's social life, etc. I found myself fast-forwarding a lot while watching this but the parts that I did watch, I enjoyed. I definitely would recommend it as long as you are fine with a slow romance story.
Sorry if there are any grammar/ spelling mistakes ^^^^^^
Please don't come at me if I said something you disagree with. This is just my opinion ^^^

It's starts seeing pretty basic, but they didi tell a great story, the romance was well constructed and the most important thing: the display of a non-toxic relationship. How they talk about the right way to take jealousy and the importance of trusting your partner. It's was quite adorable to see how they develop into a healthy relationship, who supports each other so they can get pass their difficulties.
Also I loved the character development of the lead characters; how Oh Jim Shi started from being naive and in a non disrespectful way...dumb? To an incredible actress, someone who can go thru what scared her from the past and who knows how to go on with her life. As for Mr Know it is the simple thing of learning to live more, to stop being in his own small word and learning to care and love someone truthfully.
The CEO brothers were really fun and had a great chemistry, they were really the fun duo with also the other two attorneys. All the characters were well written and it made the story complete. I especially like how the story of the two oldest members of the company ended, it was realistic and it was fresch cause lets be honest, we all expect a certain ending.
It's true that this drama isn't something new, but being honest it's really difficult to come with new ideas now a days. This drama is well executed; actors, music and all the staff did an amazing work. It was a sweet story and you can't help but to feel happy with every episode of this drama. If i had to describe it in one word it would be: Lovely.

I loved there chemistry
I really love this drama, as it's very sweet and not stressful. I will really recommend this if you are looking for a drama with a pure love story without any toxicity. The actors did a great job in portraying their characters, lee dong wook was really cute and innocent in this too just like goblin, and yoo in na was not savage. Over all this drama is really relaxing and gives a break from all the stressful dramas out there.I believe this drama was like the next life of grim reaper and sunny, even if it was not I really loved it.

Because the story is simple and straight forward, I had an easy time following the storyline. Sometimes I would question why characters would do something such as "well, why do they do this?" "How did they find out so quickly?" or "Is this how they would ACTUALLY react in real life?" But none of those occurred because the story was straightforward. Even though the story was straight forward and there weren't many (if any) plot twists, I truly enjoyed the series as it was really cute and entertaining; almost like a slice of life drama that people would want to empathize with.
I almost got tired of the female role of being weak and vulnerable and the story was typical, which is why I gave it a 6/10. However, the acting was great because they both played different character types from their well-known roles from Goblin and their acting skills are like the opposite of who they are in real life (from watching their interaction if extras and other videos).
Make it Count by Chen is by far my favorite song in this Kdrama.

This is a great law and entertainment industry mixed romcom! The lead couple has great chemistry and portrayed their characters very well. The drama instills all kind of emotions and the characters are fun to watch. Although it has some dramatic moments, this drama is a comedy that will become serious at moments. This drama is not to be compared with intensely developed dramas; it is a light romantic comedy that, although it offers many good lessons, it is really about emotions and a leading lady that, even though at sometimes seems aloof, has a strong heart and a loving personality that will really “Touch Your Heart”. The drama could’ve been done without the clichéd breakup and separation that, although it was short, it brought the “I am inspired” feeling down a notch. Episode 14 was the “icing on the cake” and it could’ve easily end there! Still, the drama is fun and entertaining. Enjoy it! Was this review helpful to you?
