Enquêtes tactiles

I started this show unsure if I would like it, but the plot is so devious and unusual, that it makes me giggle. The comedy is fresh, not too zany, but strikes the right balance. It feels a bit like a slice of life story with characters (including supporting characters) that by episode 3, you start to care about. The female lead has a funny likeable energy, as well as the male lead, Lee Min Ki. I've seen him in a few kdramas, but the most memorable role for me was his role in, "Because This is My First Life," which is one of my favorites. I also saw him in Monster where he played a vicious serial killer who was so scary I didn't realize it was the same actor, which speaks to his range and acting abilities. In "Because This is My First Life", he is very restrained. His character in this role he is so different and relaxed. Oh and I also saw him in "The Beauty Inside" as the romantic lead, which is absolutely worth watching. I've seen the heroine in something else but I will have to put my finger on what it was, but I do like her.

This story, with its weirdness could have easily failed, but because of the lead actress and actor's acting abilities, the story shines and feels fun. Great job all around with the warm supporting cast.

The story left me suspecting everyone as the potential serial killer but I was not disappointed with who it turned out to be since I had suspected him all along on and off.

At times I felt like they killed off characters who should not have been killed off. So that was a disappointment. My only real complaint is that the last episode was completely nonsensical in every sense of the word and if the actors were not so charming they would not have been able to pull it off. The plot and the writing in the last episode was abysmal and all over the place. I could not believe how bad the last episode was. They managed to resolve the serial killing about 3/4 ths into the episode but there were so many things that was nonsensical about how the police officers and the violent crime division handled finding the killer that that I can no longer suspend disbelief. Still, in all it is a fun show that really made me laugh so I still enjoyed it overall.

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....

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.

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.

The show had a very goofy premise. Very goofy and weird characters and interactions. A dark plot. Set in a strange, small town. The characters lacked chemistry. It was kind of interesting. If you're goofy and not too serious but like dark plots it's okay. The show didn't blend well somehow. It's a hard mix to make. In the middle of the series, it dragged and was boring a bit. But, it did kick off and get more interesting eventually. Being goofy, very serious and dark things happened but the town didn't have the appropriate reaction. It wasn't realistic.

It was kind of enjoyable but not as much as other really good shows I saw. And it really dragged in some parts in the middle and it was too weird and silly in some ways and too dark in other ways.
