Featured reviews
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.

If the last episode had been the first episode I would not have watched this series at all, in fact I would have turned it off after about 15 to 20 minutes. Sickening bullying violence is not my idea of entertainment and I watch tv and films to be entertained and/or amused, consequently this episode ruined the series completely for me. Although if the last episode was the first the story would have been about a person who healed people by pulling knives out of them and seeing them miraculously resurrected in the next episode, so maybe I would have watched it, hmmm?!?!
Watching the series in it's proper order what you have is a well made, well acted quality production . The script and storyline are engaging and the whodunit style of who is the killer and who is the next victim is very well paced. However, the series starts out with great humour and pathos but by the halfway point it turns into just another 'cops and robbers' drama, getting more and more dark towards the end culminating in a final episode of unnecessary violence. Even tacking on a short, lighter storyline at the end does not make amends.
Honestly I would recommend this series but with provisos , don't expect a series full of the oddball humour of the first few episodes, don't watch it if you dislike unnecessary violence and finally just treat it as a serious and well made whodunit with a bit of humour at the start. They say "Don't judge a book by its cover" , well don't judge this series by its first episodes or its title piece.
Oh and the series is worth watching just to hear 'We Disappear' by JEMMA....

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.

Very innovative drama attempting to balance a comedy/satire show with a murder/mystery one. The writing is pretty slick, despite the material at first seeming absurd (!) Once you've accepted the initial premise, however that our heroine vet surgeon, Han Ji-Min has become imbued with special powers there's plenty of entertainment that awaits. What I really appreciated the most were the oblique Korean cultural gags, for example that the village shaman would idolize of all people the US General. MacArthur, or that this small fishing community had its own idioms of expression that proved pretty baffling to outsiders (in the same vein as outsiders to Korea might initially encounter Korean society). At one point the script even went as far as to jokingly reference lines from another K-Drama, "My Liberation Diary". But Behind My Touch does illustrate just how far K-Drama has progressed since 2010, and if you are in the mood for a light, satirical murder mystery then this could be the one.
If you're in mood for laid back n fun cozy mysteries- then this is the show for you . It really grows on you after initial 20 minutes or so . This show has everything such as small town setting, a main character who wants to redeem themselves and reinvent their life after staying at the small town, simple minded honest side characters, no annoying characters at all & above all tge humor is top notch . Some scenes are laugh out loud funny.. The romance plotline hasn't quite yet build up as I'm just on 4th episode but i do hope there's a cute romance arc in next episodes . Can't wait for next episodes !
