Funny Whodunit
Likes1. Yebun and Jang Yeol together!! The comedy parts were so funny at the start then they later became partners. Hoping they really ended up together! Lee Minki's twinkling eyes in the last episode made him look handsome. Han Jimin was so funny im waiting for her to do a proper romcom.
2. I loved the best friend Okhui and how much she defends Yebun, the funny girl gang who would do anything for Okhui, and of course Unnie boyfriend!! The babytalk in the end was gross haha.
3. The aunt and the police chief. The 2521 parody wasnt funny to me but they were also cute. Esp the hotel handcuff scene. Lol.
Dislikes
1. Justice for Seonwoo 😭 the writer tried to make him look so suspicious all through out the show! He acted so mysterious and tight lipped of course he will be a suspect.
2. There were times Yebun was frustrating coz she could have been smarter and used her powers more rather than keep on crying. They could have found the killer right after grandpa died.
3. Ep 14 was the worse episode. Wah! The killer suddenly went on a rampage and killed the two nice guys!!
5. Speaking of the killer, at first i didnt buy the motive but later on i thought yeah, psychopaths dont really need to have a reason to kill. And the killings really do escalate once they get the taste of it. I just didnt like how they tried to squeeze in Jang Yeol's nemesis in the end to close their story.
Rating: 8.5/10

It's a unique show, but...
The first half of the show was hella fun, the characters are interesting, and the acting was on point, BUT in the second half, the writers messed up the crime story, BIG TIME! It's easy to tell that 3 different people wrote the script, because when it was about the real drama or the fun it was a peak show, but when they focused on the crime story, they didn't know what they really want.
For some, it may look like they knew all along who's gonna be the real killer, but for me, it was easy to tell, they didn't know it till the last couple of episode. That's why they always changed suspect.
I feared they will mess up the story between Ye Bun and Sun Woo, and they did it. There were ZERO chemistry between them, yet they still forced the romance plot for no reason, and honestly, Ye Bun was pretty annoying multiple times, because she was like a little girl, who can't imagine if her puppy is a killer or not. They should've stuck to him as the killer, because the last couple of episode made no sense! It was really disappointing that they changed the killer, because that ruined at least 2 different story line.
IF this show focus more on the fun parts, it could've been so much better. Also, the so called "love story" between Ye Bun and Jang Yeol was obvious from the start, but they messed up that one too. They stretched their story so much, and there was literally no time left to make them official, so they did it in the last second, basically.
Honestly, I wouldn't mind if this is just a body cop show without any romance plot.
It had so much potential, and even tho it's a unique show, sadly, it remained average till the end.

Tho it was 1h10min so the extra scene was a “bonus” but it wasn’t that necessary
I wouldn’t mind a second season of this plotline
Basically as a mystery and the events related to it, the writer did well
They suspected enough people with good reason and the villain did well too
Yebun was a normal person with zero “survival skills” and that was ok, it was what made this duo funny. She was a sheltered “idiot” and I was proud of her growth
There were two scenes I really enjoyed this ep, it was the “needle” scene and the bikers
I’ll only say this here but my boo suho wasn’t that good tho he was atleast better than my lovely boxer annoying 2ml or my lovely lair 1ml
I was detached to him but near the end he developed well
I might’ve not enjoyed it without a mom watch but atleast since no crime/mystery/suspense drama since 2016 appealed to me, this did well

Boring initial episodes but then, you're hooked
The first three episodes were kinda boring tbh. But it picks up at the end of 3rd ep. There were a few boring and unnecessary scenes, too. But, hey, the mystery was very good. It hooked me until the end. Good plot twists in finding the true culprit, as one person gets disproved after the other, only to be suspected again. Loved their mental gymnastics.Only, one premise where a woman dies, it was all very illogical. That's all. The rest was surprisingly good.

didn't like it then, loved it now
i dropped it when it aired because it felt too goofy for me. i picked it up again recently and finished it in the span of a few days. i really enjoyed it. i’m glad i gave it another chance; i feel like the drama came to me at the right time.i was initially worried by the length (16 episodes) but the episodes flashed by and the mystery element kept me coming back for more. the writers did a good job, especially with the plot twists. very likeable characters, nice blend of comedy and mystery, and barely any romance - which i appreciate in this type of show.
standout for me was lee min ki - i’ve watched a ton of his dramas and always thought he was alright - not my favourite but not bad either. well, he embodied the role he was given here and i loved his character. watched a bunch of his interviews afterwards and can say i’m a new fan now. so thanks to his drama for igniting my newfound interest in him.
overall, not at the point of being mindblowingly good or original, but still very entertaining. few gripes about the plot but the good overshadow the bad. 8.0/10.
watch if you're in the mood for a mystery that isn't too heavy. the comedy balances it out.

Just a sparkling beginning, then a wasted chance
I kept this show within my list of need to watch, since the trailer is amusing and very funny. However, very soon the story starts tending toward a generically boring and, sometimes, irritating plot. Starting from the two leads, who never caught eventually my liking: the male lead too much focused on being an irrational bully, the female lead too much focused on being an irritating goat, constantly taking the worst idiotic decisions, showing a complete lack of cleverness, and subjected to the vexations of the improbable super-cop: improbable because his supposed being a super-cop does not find actual evidences during the show, showing instead a lack of smartness associated to a shitty temper. The two did not catch my liking as said, instead my constant irritation. That's a shame, because the idea behind this show was really original and it could have been a nicely amusing thriller, or even a serious one, but just not the undefined one I saw. I admit that sometimes I watched the show at 1.5x speed, just for the sake to go on, trying to find an improvement somewhere. Instead I found just a flat story, which never made me felt involved. Even the support roles, of which some may appear brilliant and amusing, look inserted within the story just by chance, not well blending with it and surely not helping to give it an identity.The only thing I appreciated was the OST which includes some nice tracks.
Bah...

First half- fun filled , second half- mystery !!
Personally I liked the drama since i was watching some heavy intense dramas along with this. This drama isnt perfect , it tries it hand at two diff genres and somewhat manages to engage us.Story - Its unique plot, but there are non linear stories of different characters so we need to be patient to find out what is what. The surprise turn of events in the last few episodes to suspense was quiet new in kdrama world and honestly it kinda works here, though there are plot holes here and there the story is engaging enough that u can overlook them in casual viewing.
Cast- Not gonna lie ..have been a fan of Lee Minki since he appeared as a band member aged ago. Han Jimin is good and Su ho is apt as the mysterious sun woo( they could have let him live ...) and all the supporting cast esp Noona guy, ok hui and the police team leader..etc have done a great job. You are able to belive that these ppl are neighbors residing in a small town where everyone knows everyone atleast superficially.. ;P
Overall you can watch the drama once for the hilarious 1st half and can continue and finish it till the end. Don't expect any overtly romantic track from ML/SML and FL..but the elderly one and the noona one are good.

Flawed But Very Fun Series!
“Behind Your Touch” is a fairly flawed but extremely fun series that uniquely balances comedy with a thriller plot. It’s not very often you find this combination, and a combination that works, for the most part. Then again, Koreans are masters of mixing genres and making them all work seamlessly.Dr. Bong Ye Bun is a veterinarian working in a small town after growing up with her aunt and estranged grandfather who never speaks to her. She’s a quirky sort of woman who suddenly finds herself with a gift, thanks to a hapless encounter with a cow and a meteor. Yes, you heard me right! While treating a milk cow and touching the cow’s hindquarters, the meteor gives her the ability to “read” the past events of animals or people but touching their backsides. Clearly, this leads to some hilarious moments when Dr. Bong finds herself the unwitting participant of having to touch someone in order to gain insight.
Enter, Detective Moon Jang Yeol, a determined police officer who initially nicknames Dr. Bong, “perv” as he watches her constantly trying to touch people. This leads to some outrageous moments, such as whenever Detective Moon catches her, he flips her…literally!
However, not all is as it seems in the seemingly quiet, hospitable town when it becomes clear that there is a serial killer at work. Detective Moon will stop at nothing to catch the killer, and once he discovers Dr. Bong’s ability, he enlists her help in tracking down and finding the killer.
Believe it or not, for the most part, the story works and works well. We get some laugh out loud moments mixed with some real tension as the writers are determined to keep the viewer guessing as to who the real killer is. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself going back and forth between multiple suspects.
There is also a bit of light, romantic tension as Kim Sun Woo comes to town and Dr. Bong is immediately infatuated with him. However, Kim Sun Woo behaves a bit suspiciously, and Detective Moon is determined that he’s the serial killer, thus putting himself and Dr. Bong in precarious situations. When you’ve watched shows like this long enough, it’s not hard to realize that the most obvious suspect is rarely ever the true killer. Also, there are two pivotal moments about midway through the series that gives big clues as to who the killer is. They are brief but if you remember them, you can likely figure it out.
The series has great characters and a lot of fun, enjoyable moments. However, the series weakens in the last two episodes, but not to the point where it ruins the series itself. It was almost as if the writer had backed themselves into a corner and weren’t entirely sure about how to get out of it.
First, Kim Sun Woo figures out who the killer is. He knows Dr. Bong is in danger of being a target. Why did he not confide in her or Detective Moon regarding his suspicions? And why would he continue to hang around the killer, knowing that he was also putting himself at risk? That didn’t make sense at all to me. As smart as Kim Sun Woo is, it just didn’t seem like something he would do.
Second, the sunglasses are a big stretch. Even in the dark, if there is light, you can still see to some extent. That doesn’t completely negate Dr. Bong’s ability to see what happened.
Finally, bringing out Detective Moon’s adversary and having him taking out all fifteen guys in the end was also pushing it. We understand that he’s a tough cop, but I don’t know many people who’d be able to subdue that many people alone. We don’t see that Detective Moon has any unique or special fighting skills.
The last twenty minutes of the final episode with Dr. Bong being asked to infiltrate a women’s prison was ludicrous and simply didn’t fit at all with the rest of the series. In short, they should have quit while they were ahead.
Still, despite these things, this is a very fun series to watch, and I would still recommend it. All in all, it’s a great story with great performances.

Hilarious
this is the 2nd funniest kdrama that i have watched, of course the 1st position is for Welcome to Waikiki S1.It was a drama full of crazy characters. i mean, even the villain is crazy. My favorite character was the guy who called Bae Hok *Unni*. he was hilarious.
I was so shocked when i found out who the villain is and how evil he is. because he was one of the craziest in the town. I enjoy being surprised.
I felt like the last few episodes were little bit darker and deeper. The only negative thing about this show is that they didn't concentrate on their love story, i mean there wasn't any love between them and it was such a disappointment. I would have given it a proper 10 if there was a love story and confession between them

This series is a roller coaster of events, people and genre
I have encountered another crime-thriller series even though I tried to avoid it as much as possible and I loved it?!? I do love the crime genre but it has been too heavy for me to watch it back-to-back so I'm trying to cleanse with some light-hearted series and this came up on my radar. The plot premise is interesting because it is mixed with comedy and supernatural. It's a risky combination and mostly doesn't end well but this one works. I love the mind games of me trying to guess who is the killer with the right amount of cheesiness here and there (where cringe is just funny enough). I encountered questionable moments/characters where I was like, ' Why the hell did XXXX do this or that?' but other than those, I really loved watching this series.It's also nice to see Lee MinKi on a series again. The last drama I saw with him was on Flower Band (which is also a good one -- I remember having a crush on him while watching that series as well) And also the reason, why I watched this -- Han JiMin. I was still hooked with The Familiar Wife then saw JiMin on this series. The female and male lead had some questionable choices on the series but I just accepted as part of the story and kept past it.
The rap opening song was quite catchy and also the playful background music throughout the series. While not that memorable, I feel like it set the mood for the scenes on the series effectively.
I personally recommend this one with a light-crime plot while also having comedic relief and an interesting supernatural aspect of it. Plus the ending was reasonable. I was able to wrap it up in my head.
