Behind Your Touch (2023) User Reviews

4 Episodes - so Far so Good

[xmasinswiss · 6/10 · 21 August 2023]

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.

Warning spoiler: LIked the show but disappointed by the ending

[stevemcmillen · 7/10 · 16 October 2023]

I liked the show, but I was very disappointed by the ending. Could have been a 9 or 10 if the ending was not so lame.

Ye-bun ends up with a work obsessed Moon who puts her right back into police work which lead to so much misery for her. And worse yet, inside a prison with dangerous characters, really!! Ye-Bun also goes public with her power (which we know already criminals wanted to kidnap her and leverage).

Better endings? Of course: 1) End it episode 14 with Seon-Woo surviving the attack, catch Park (shaman) and Ye-bun and Seon-woo live a happy quiet life in Mujin.

2) Moon stays in Mujin with Ye-bun and lives a quite life

I was totally rooting for Ye-bun and Seon-woo to be together. They have far more in common and clearly connected. And Seon-woo would be a far more attentive partner, clearly cared more for Ye-bun.

For cleanup, something should have been done about the gangster that knew about Ye-bun's power. He is bound to come kidnap her, right??

And in NO ending should Ye-bun have been displaying her powers to the world.

Sigh, I really wonder what the director was thinking or however decided how to wrap this series up. :( :(

Started well but withered by the end

[Sarah7971989 · 6/10 · 16 October 2023]

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.

Comically Ingenious plot, fun leading actors and supporting cast

[RomanceNovelist · 9/10 · 10 September 2023]

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.

[elin93 · 9/10 · 2 September 2023]

So I've just started to get into K-dramas, so please don't judge me.

The show is about a veterinarian who all of a sudden gains special abilities that will help both her, her patients, and other people.

The environment gives off cozy small town vibes and a sense of community. Lonely as I am, I kind of want to move there.. even if the place doesn't exist lol. It looks like a happy and peaceful place to live in. Well... except from the mysterious happenings.

Brace yourself, there's a serial killer on the loose. What makes the show so great is that every time you think you know who the killer is, you're proven wrong. It's unpredictable and that makes it even more exciting to watch!

My first impression of this show was "Ok, this is a little bit weird", but after I had watched a couple of episodes I was fully invested.. it really gets better and better with every episode. Now I love this show, and find myself impatiently waiting for new episodes. I hate when streaming sites only drop 1-2 episodes per week like they're cable tv or something...

Pretty good, let down with the ending

[mr-omneo · 7/10 · 2 October 2023]

I enjoyed this show, it has a good amount of humour and the whodunnit part of the story will have suspecting everyone, many times over.

The characters are good, believable enough that some you like, some you don't and others you keep changing your mind about because you're not quite sure if they're good or bad.

Quite why the last episode veers off is anyones guess, its like they finished and someone said, "hold up! We have another 35 minutes to fill" and what would have been an 8/8.5 has to settle for a 7 because it was just far too much of a let down, the slow whimper of an end that no one deserved.

Funny and Fresh

[hedyehpouryari · 10/10 · 13 August 2023]

So far, one episode of this series has been aired and it has a good rating in terms of viewership. The comedy is sweet and the topic is fresh and funny. The director has good taste and the color scheme of the scene is very eye-catching. The emotional story between humans and animals will affect you and in general, I think this series can make us feel good for sixteen episodes. The actors are good choices for their roles. Han Jimin in the role of a passionate veterinarian, shows the freshness of the character well and you suddenly love him. Lee Min Ki plays the role of a detective who came to a village to get a promotion, instead of solving murder cases, he has to deal with trivial cases.

On the other hand, he has a misunderstanding with the village vet and this causes funny events that amuse the audience. I look forward to the continuation of the series.

Mixed Feelings

[KatieDuncan44 · 6/10 · 9 November 2023]

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.

Comedy/Cop Drama Fusion

[refordgarry · 8/10 · 22 September 2023]

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.

Nobody told me, I saw it

[alaningle7 · 7/10 · 6 October 2023]

Han Ji-min plays Bong Ye Bun a vet whose mother died when she was young and is bought up by her auntie in a quiet village. Lee Min Ki plays Jang Yeol who is a policeman transferred to the same village from Seoul after messing up a case. Whilst she is out dealing with a cow for a local farmer a meteor strikes and suddenly she is able to see what animals and humans have experienced but only if she touches their butt. The police officer initially thinks she is crazy but soon enlists her help to solve crimes. It is an interesting idea which is well acted with some great side characters. The reason why I only gave it a seven is that the comedic parts are funny and the grisly parts are gruesome but in my opinion there needed to be less comedy or less gore as the two genres do not marry well.

So funny and refreshing!

[mommadada · 10/10 · 27 August 2023]

Both ML and FL leads are hilarious! This show is a great pick me up from all the melodramas released this summer! I just love how unique and funny it is! 🤣🤣 the camera zoom ins and nod to twenty one twenty five is my favorite bit.

Lee min ki, is a phenomenal actor; he can truly adapt to any role. The FL lead has great control over her facial expressions and that makes everything 1000 more funnier.

The plot is weird, romantic and funny! And the characters are memorable and vibrant!!

And most importantly this drama follows a trope I bet most of us are very guilty of loving, enemies to lovers!

Trying to be too many things

[khemass · 7/10 · 16 February 2024]

If a movie wants to be a mix of comedy, suspense, and romantic at the same time, it better mixes them well or otherwise it will turn out bland, in almost every way. In my opinion, this is one of wrong-mixed series. It is not too bad to watch if you don't have anything else to watch and nothing to do, but I have a long list, and this film didn't grab my attention firm enough.

First, it takes too long for anything to happen. It takes too long before the vet got her special gift, takes too long before the main male lead (the police officer) appear, and takes too long for them to be in love. So what are there for the audience before all this main plot begins to happen, just unnecessary things like a character of the aunt who, in my opinion, looks annoying and isn't a well-rounded character, some trying-to-be funny moments and too much funny music and cartoon-like effect, but most of the time it wasn't amusing for me.

The good points of this series is that they select the right persons to play the lead. Her look and voice and personality are suitable to be a vet. His look and personality is also suitable as a cop. There are lovely moments about the animal, and the story about the old man and his old dog was very touching and very-well presented.

However, I must conclude that for me this movie is neither funny nor romantic nor very exciting. The story moves too slow and filled with unnecessary stuff. But it's not all that bad if you have time to kill.

Body Count higher than Rambo Movies!

[divemabini · 2/10 · 1 October 2023]

Another Netflix bait-and-switch. The preview picture has her touching a chicken and the description leads you to believe this will be a small town funny crime solver involving wacky scenarios with animals.

Instead, you get a dark, disturbing, not funny at all, horror/murder crime spree movie that is only stretchable to 16 episodes because of the ineptitude of the characters...and the unbelievably stupid situations the writers place the town in.

1. In a country where ONE murder makes national headlines, TWO would be a call for mobilization. THREE and you'd have the Army on the streets. NINE?... you get women walking home alone at night, no enhanced or increased CCTV, and nary an additional policeman in sight, let alone the military.

2. Characters that see more death than soldiers in war who get PTSD, and are often chased by the killer, yet a day later they are fully functional and back to their old self.

3. A culprit that could be seen a mile away (even before the abysmal 15th episode) so the writers go through stupid and thinly veiled attempts to try and place blame on others. Only a simpleton couldn't see the end.

4. Criminals dictating the "rules" to the police while in custody. A trope so overused that you take a bathroom break once the inevitable interrogation room monologue starts...because you know already what will go down.

5. Evidence? Schmevidence! We can't have any for the entire show, it would be inconvenient. Only to have a convenient audio recording wrap it all up neatly. Lazy lazy LAZY writing.

6. And I said it before, but it bears repeating... characters who wander around and go about their merry lives even though close to double digit murders have occurred in a few months.

Truly an awful setup and execution to a show people will watch thinking it is a veterinarian version of Nancy Drew.

Instead...they get Saw.

Unique,Refreshing & small town cozy mystery vibes

[noorefatima-89324 · 8/10 · 21 August 2023]

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 !

Pleasant Surprise

[aggiemanalac · 9/10 · 5 November 2023]

I kept on skipping this series because of the not-so-great average rating. I finally decided to give this a try when I was running out of options and boy, was I suprised! I found myself binging the series and watching it in 2 days.

What I liked:

• Humor. Some might find the humor corny, but I found it laugh out loud funny. I did not expect Lee Min Ki to be able to carry of comedic moments. His timing was perfect. And the chemistry among the cast was evident - I doubt the humor could have been pulled off if the cast did not gel well.

• The whodunit. During the first few episodes I was concerned that the story line would remain flat and un-exciting - until the serial killing began. Until the end I was left guessing who it was. The way the story unfolded to reveal the perpetrator was plausible enough.

• The cast. I enjoyed every one of them. Great acting, good comedic timing. Wonderful chemistry.

Where the show could have done better:

• A tighter and clearer reveal of the motive behind the serial killings. It was relegated to a hunch, and eventually a one-line confirmation.

• The ending. While I like that it ended happily and still with humor, the whole correctional facility scene felt off, if not unnecessary.

This reminds me of Magnum PI, Columbo and all those American detective series with humor. My hours were not wasted on this one.

Interesting premise, compelling murder mystery but the rest of the plot elements were sloppy chaos

[leahcubed · 7/10 · 18 December 2023]

7/10 is my rating. This is a 2023 South Korean Romantic Comedy, suspense and thriller drama. There are 16 ~60 minute episodes.

First I provide a unique synopsis then review.

Synopsis

Bong Ye-bun (Han Ji-min) is a veternarian in a small community where she, much to her disdain, primarily cares for farm animals. Her life dramatically changes when a meteor strike imparts her with a rare form of pychometry. Embarassingly, she has to touch human or animal butts to get visions. A series of murders leads her to work with homicide Detective Moon Jang-yeol (Lee Min-ki) who was sent to the smaller community from Seoul after making an error with an investigation. When Kim Seon-woo (Suho) comes to town, Dr Bong is immediately attracted to the incredibly handsome yet mysterious stranger. Problem is the Detective has Seon-woo at the top of his suspect list for the serial murders. Dr. Bong has checked out Seon-woo and believes he is innocent. But if not him, then who and why are the bodies stacking up?

Review

Chaotic is the best way to describe it. My impression is the writers were not sure if they wanted it to be a slapstick, regular or dark comedy. The story also switched between romance, mystery, comedy and supernatural but not in a smooth manner. The serial killer mystery was good and I thought it was what made it watchable. If you like murder mysteries it is worth a watch for that. If you like "silly" comedy you may enjoy that element. The psychometry portrayed is different and if you like supernatural you may find this portrayal interesting. I am unlikely to rewatch it because I did not feel it was well written. There is a sad element that hits about episode 14 so if you are one that gets really attached to characters be aware there are a lot of murders. It is sad in parts.

Spoilers

The early episodes were the worste of it to me. They set it up as she is a veternarian who takes over her grandfather's clinic as if that will be an important element but it really isn't. After she starts working with the detective its as if she just closed the doors to her clinic. I guess it was so she had critters early on that would not care if she touched their butts so she was able to discover and develop her ability. They did circle back later where her whole pet psychic thing got her on the talk show circuit.

I felt like nearly all the characters were weird. She was weird because when

she discovered she had to touch butts to use her ability she went about it as if she somewhat enjoyed it. It was no wonder the detective thought she was a pervert at first. But he was also weirdly quick to judgement and violent. He was super violent with Dr. Bong at first. Even if he thought she was being a pervert the way he body slammed her to the ground on several occasions was completely wrong. And he had her do dangerous things on her own so he could get information. The chief was weird and rude to main guy from the outset. Main girl's best friend was also weird she was hostile to nearly everyone and mean to Dr. Bong. Her Aunt though was the weirdest of all. The weird way she acted to the Chief was cringy. Who locks someone to a bed frame then throws the key out the window?

I do not know who did wardrobe but it was horrendous. The best friend looked like she bargain hunted fashion items and sort of threw them all together whether they matched or not. Dr. Bong looked grade school sheik. And the collars on some of her outfits looked like she could take wing.

With all the early physical violence and him treating her so carelessly through most of the show, there was no chemistry with the detective and Dr. Bong. Her best friend's crush and claim on the detective was also ridiculous. No chemistry with Seon-woo because she looked like an old bag lady or a preschooler at various times. No one kissed either. So the romance element was thin.

I did not like how they portrayed her as an idiot. She is a vet, which takes a lot of really difficult coursework and yet she is too stupid to even render first aid when someone is hurt, She saves one of the victims from being stabbed but then stashes her in the vicinity while she looks for help. Then she runs into a bus load of men who could have helped but wastes time looking for the detective. Her absolute ineptitude allowed the killer to get the girl again. Then she runs away when Seon-woo is fighting the killer rather than stepping in to help. There is a scene where she fins what she thunks is the murder weapon, a knife covered with red chili from kimchi (looked a little like blood) and she ripuns down the street and even gets on the bus with the knife extended. When she gets to the police department and they ask if she ran all the way with the knife like that she says she did. A smart person would know that is not how you would take a murder weapon to the police.

The Shaman's son was introduced as if that was an important element of the story, but then he just drops out of the story line with no explanation where he went. I think the sole purpose was to allude he killed his wife and that is why the son was there. It was just weird not to indicate what happened with the son.

A Lot of Fun!

[caroljane52 · 10/10 · 4 October 2023]

I absolutely loved this series! I am a huge K-drama fan, and in fact that is mostly what I watch. This had so many great elements - fantasy/supernatural, comedy, drama, family friendship, a great "whodunit", and even a very subtle romance, which was great and a nice break from the other romance k-dramas.

Han Ji-min was just great in her role at Ye-bun, and Lee Min-ki plays those serious guy roles so well, (loved him in Because This is My First Life, and now a huge fan of his!) Others were great, too, especially Joo Min-Kyung as Ok-hui - we all need a fierce friend like her! And the ending was perfect. In fact, it sort of left it open for a 2nd season, but I know k-dramas rarely do more than one season, sadly.

How Much Comedy & Murder Can Mix?

[PalmBeachG · 7/10 · 3 October 2023]

I have mixed feelings about this Drama which is 1/2 comedy and 1/2 drama involving many violent murders. Actually more murdering than laughing, however there are some funny scenes in the series. So did deduct some stars off my rating because it is an odd mix of comedy vs. Murdering/mystery/with a touch of romance. Even though there clearly is a couple of love interests and the 2 leads clearly like each other too as in the description, there is no real romantic scenes to speak of and falls short for the ending. Loved the convenience store neighbor and love interest SoHo - he could have played a star child in his younger years with those big black round glazing eyes. Best thing about this is discovering his music online after watching this (I always read all bios of actors in the dramas) and added some of his songs to my playlist. The male Lead I have seen before in dramas and he was cast very well in the deceptive roll. The FL never really seen before and thought she was an odd match for the detective and for the Convenience Store Guy.

My Review

[osowatejiriosowa · 10/10 · 15 November 2023]

This is one of my best Korean series by far and believe me I have watched many.

It was so unexpected. I started out to give it a try but it caught me at every step of the way. I fell in love with the characters and the story line. I didn't want it to end. The last scene just made me anticipate a new season to see our two main characters develop their amazing bond. I got attached to almost all the characters. Well done guys, I really enjoyed this Kdrama.

Aside the detective and the doctor, the other character that I had to follow to understand his development was Mr Kim ( The second male lead)

Frustrated Potential

[mingh-45471 · 6/10 · 10 March 2024]

It's one of those shows that is more bad than good, but addictive like a manhwa as it had lots of potential and thus stirred the imagination.

The female lead started off as highly cute and sympathetic but ends as very annoying and selfish. In the beginning her friend seemed to treat her badly but by the end it was she who was worse, acting like a spoiled child at all times.

The male lead is one of the most underwritten and frustrating characters ever. His limited backstory is highly confusing and doesn't make sense. Why was he transferred? Why does he feel betrayed? At least if he had a well-fleshed story he wouldn't seem vague and contradictory. Whenever he is set up for some development it deliberately doesn't pan out. Even him growing to appreciate a small town and humanity and grow is undercut by the serial killing arc. Even his nemesis Baek(a nod to my liberation notes) is written to be as dumb and ineffective as he. The only conclusion can be that he is a straw character.

If these two were in their teens it would be an okay kdrama, but since they are 35 (and the male lead looks 40 at all times without any filter) their stupidity, their unprofessional and childish behaviour and failing the mystery genre, or even failing the subversion of the same entirely, leave one highly frustrated by the end.

The second male lead is either written to be the male lead or given a script to show off his newly learned range of acting skills. But the direction his character takes directly contributes to the feeling of having wasted ones time watching this drama. The grandfathers and politicians parts of the story were the most frustrating, the abrupt way both end without any real answers.

For those who like the journey it might be a good suspense but to those who like crime KDramas, the end result(especially the mechanism used by the culprit) makes it feel like one was fooled all along, a waste of energy becoming so invested in this drama. Good arcs, that could have been, got shortened and crammed into an episode and stories that should have been compact got dragged out but left without conclusion.

The background characters who breathed life into Mujin had the most depth unlike the main characters with the farmer and his tragic girlfriend, the best friend and her posse, the 55-51 couple, the shaman and all the animals being the heart and soul of the kdrama. However it feels frustrating to see the showmakers try to fool the viewers into believing the Mujiners were hostile at any point to any of the protagonists whereas they never once were.

The million or so shoutouts and parodies of anything and everything from liberation notes and 25-21 to extreme job and popular memes were the real highlight of this drama.

Complete watching

[tahiakhusbu · 10/10 · 2 October 2023]

I have completed watching all 16 episode. This drama was really good, i enjoyed throughout the whole time. The casting choice was amazing. The actors and their team did a Very good job. It has a good storyline, beautifully executed. It was a comedy suspense thriller drama. You Won't regret it watching. Give it a try 🌸 From starting it felt like a comedy type of series. First few episodes Are truly very entertaining. Then it has e little Unique twist and then the real story begins. This drama did not disappoint me from it's beginning to it's end. That's why i wanted to recommended to u all. ❤ Happy watching.

Absolute garbage.

[mauryvan13 · 1/10 · 1 October 2023]

Do not watch this, if you are fans of Han Ji-min and Lee Min-ki. To think that their previous credits were Our Blues and My Liberation Notes respectively leaves me dumbfounded. How could they have chosen to do this piece of filth.

When you get to the final two or three episodes, when it turns into just murder, torture, terror, and blood you realize you have spent weeks wasting your time.

But it's not just that, that makes this garbage. We all realize that the major plot device, psychic powers by touching peoples butts,was ridiculous, but we were willing to put up with it because we love the two main leads, and also some of the supporting actors.

But it gradually went from goofy comedy to just bloody crime garbage.

There was absolutely no character development of anyone not the leads, the second leads, the supporting characters, nothing. No reason was given for why the female leads grandfather really hated her guts her whole life. The sub plot of the female leads aunt and the police detective started cute and then completely disappeared as did the sub plot of the female leads quirky, best friend and the goofy schoolteacher, which completely disappeared. No character development for the second lead.

This was written by an absolute amateur. It's one thing to keep your career moving by continuing to do K dramas that are light and frivolous but to do something this stupid and rotten speaks very poorly of two of my absolute most favorite actors in K drama. The only reason it could've gotten good ratings, which it did in Korea, was because of these two stars. If the two leads were relative nobodies, nobody would've watched this.

I would think that many of the people who thought this was a 10 when it started now realize it was a zero.

Potential to be GOAT drama

[Pebblelover123 · 10/10 · 10 September 2023]

Made it to episode 9 so far, it's so engaging and the plot is simple but keeps you guessing, I challenge people who think most shows are predictable to give this a go, you will not find this boring. The balance of comedy and murder mystery is incredible!

The cast is new to me but adorable, the dynamic between the leads is so cute. Unlike some kdramas each character has a unique and well developed back story. So far, little to no plot holes. The supernatural elements are believable and a breath of fresh air as this concept is something I have not seen before.

Overall cinematography and costumes are refreshing as it is not overkill but is aesthetic Ye buns costumes are so cute!! The detectives costumes are realistic and compliment him nicely.

The 55 51 arc as some call it will make you die of laughter.

One of the best dramas out there

[aswini-03127 · 10/10 · 12 September 2023]

I'm a fan of k dramas, mystery, murder,fantasy or cliche rom com, you name it. This is one drama that has me fully invested(enough to write my first imdb review) and hate that only 2 episodes are out per week. Only other drama which I found this interesting is alchemy of souls but for different reasons. This drama is cute and funny. Some dramas get frustrating as secret is revealed in only 10th episode or so and noone has any idea till then. And too confusing. For this, timing of everything is perfect, plot is good, tension and excitement is just perfect, both hero and heroine are connected to real life( not overly saint or macho), we can imagine this happening in real life if psychometric powers existed.

I hope they don't finish this off in one episode just for finishing it like some dramas; when its climax, they stuff too much info in one episode and not give a proper climax.

Every episode of this drama is perfect till now, no lag, no unnecessary suspense, no over dramatic scenes. Hope this runs its course and finishes at proper pace with a splendid climax. This deserves 10 star in imdb ratings, such a fun watch and entertaining.

Personally I really enjoyed this series, i was quite hesitant at first glance of this kdrama but i have it a go, the first couple of episodes weren't as enticing as i'd hoped but as it progressed i found myself on the edge of my seat trying to figure out who the killer was, after i'd suspected one person, another person would get me suspicious. There's also a great portion of humour in here that i found quite comforting, especially ok hui and her sister gang. The ending of the series was enjoyable, as well as the characters, each of them had their own story whether they were likeable or not. To conclude, i'd definitely give this kdrama a shot if i were you!
