"Behind Your Touch" Kdrama Ep 13 & 14 Review: 5 Key Things to Know

We started Behind Your Touch (aka Hip) as a crazy comedy about butts and pets. And now we're confused about who's the murderer. 

Ye Bun had Jang Yeol by her side to comfort her

Yebun’s grandpa has passed away. She sobs on Ok Hui’s shoulder, while Jang Yeol observes her quietly from a distance.

How he, who seems aloof and heartless, is doing everything he can to ease her suffering.~

I asked Ok Hui and she said you like this, you need to eat something to gain strength.

 What happened to your grandpa is not your fault but the killer, stop blaming yourself. now eat ㅡ eat this, have some strength, and let's catch the jerk who did that to your grandpa, with me.

I hope Behind Your Touch has a satisfying and happy ending. I want Ye Bin and Jang Yeol to end up together because they are so cute. I love their playful arguments and teasing. I think Ye Bun only had a crush on Seon Wôp at first, but she didn’t really know him well. He only shared some basic things with her, like friends do. But Ye Bun and Jang Yeol have a deeper and more realistic connection. I’m rooting for them!

It seems that Jang Yeol has been interested in Ye Bun for a while, but she still thinks he’s a nutjob. She still has that name for him on her phone. I don’t think there’s enough time for her to change her mind. Unless she touches his butt and sees all the things he’s done for her.

Perhaps he should be in danger and make her realize her true feelings. Maybe that would make her see him differently. Maybe that would make her love him back.

Did the writer try to drag on the drama?

I think the quality of the last two episodes dropped because the writers added details that would have been questioned and fixed in the previous episodes. How can there be no clear attempts to take off the hood or tear the poncho? Why didn’t they look for animals and touch their butts too, like they did with the snakes before?

Also, her friend Ok Hui left her in the night meeting the suspect? Then Seon Woo who lived next door asked to meet her from far away knowing that she was the killer's target? And the cops were nowhere to be seen in a town with a serial killer.

I agree that Lee Min-ki and Suho did well in episode 14 with their stares. Jang Yeol’s eyes were gentle when he looked at Ye-bun through the workshop window today (I was surprised because I was used to his sharp stares). Seon Woo looked genuinely angry/shocked? when the Shaman touched him and blocked him from leaving the church.

Ye Bun: Has she become more stupid and annoying?

Logically, there’s no excuse for Ye Bun to snap at Jang Yeol. He was mistaken about Seon Woo, but guys they fooled us too by the end with his suspicious behavior. Now, even if Jang Yeol didn’t think Seon Woo was the killer, he would have still died because Ye Bun was with him, and the killer was after her. If she had stayed in jail, Seon Woo would be alive. 

But on the other hand, Yebun isn't a flawless character. It looks like she is done with everything (being used to catch the killer and culprits, seeing the deaths, trusting the wrong person - Mr. Cha) and it all explodes in episode 15 (according to the preview). 

Regarding Ye Bun’s foolish choices, I feel like everyone around including the audience demands too much from her. She is a normal person; it’s not her duty to catch the killer. She’s been trying her best to help but at some point in the middle of the show, I saw her character totally exhausted. She couldn’t get a break, seeing so many deaths, news about her mother, and the constant stress of catching the killer. 

The turning point for her was Ji Suk’s death and her unsuccessful attempt to save her; she closed off emotionally and her situation was getting worse. The victims, shock, and trauma she's experienced over and over prevented her from making calm quick decisions like touching Gwang Sik's butt before his death. 

The only person taking her mind off the mess was Seon Woo. That’s why she kept going to him whenever she could. This is a realistic portrayal of the character's emotional decline. I wish Jang Yeol can give her the space and comfort she needs at this time. 

Her blaming Detective Moon in the preview is her overall anger with the situation and herself. Once she gets to the bottom, I hope she will regain all her power and go to Jang Yeol who needs her.

So a great guy like Seon Woo does exist? At least here but...

Seon Woo felt alone throughout his life... when his mom passed away, when he stayed in the orphanage, when he quit university, when everyone doubted him and didn’t trust him. And when the only one who trusted him didn't help him at the right time.

How is that fair?😭 He endured so much pain in his life only to die like this? This smart and sweet boy was just enjoying his life 😭 

At this point, who is the culprit?

I made a separate one dedicated to this headache :): "Behind Your Touch" Korean Drama: Who's the Killer?
