In a story that understands not all relationships are linear, two childhood best friends embark on vastly different life journeys, but keep colliding with each other along the way. Toying with ideas of art and authenticity, the film makes us question our heroines intertwined lives right up until the very end.

Released theatrically in March of this year and now available for streaming, the film follows two young friends as they make their way to adulthood and navigate the life beyond. It’s a subtle tale that marks its life transitions with fractures so tiny they remain almost imperceptible to the audience — and to the main characters. By the time the damage is done, they (and we) are asking, “How did we end up like this?

Thanks for the weecap @mistyisles
‘There, they argued over who was more delusional, and when he pushed her in an emotional outburst, she hit her head on a rock and died’👈🏾 love this reference to the second female lead template😆

On the whole I enjoyed this drama the couple were delightful, second male lead was cute and good at his job, the jazz bar Ajusshi, the baker who just needed someone sweet to run his store with and the bodyguard who got to be with his idol were all great side characters, I would have happily enjoyed spending more time with.

I could have done without the relentless PPL ad breaks for the plebs squeezed into the last two episodes because they couldn’t tarnish the high end products in the rest of the drama aka as a test drive of the entire Maserati 2024 line up. I see them as a typical man’s cars so I guess this is why they made a point of having the female lead happily choose to own and drive one.

Unnecessary characters of the year: the salad bar and bar owners off and on relationship, the mother who sucked her daughter dry instead of acknowledging she was a rubbish mum and repenting, politician mum who could not read the room and was clinging on to her fight for office way after everyone else had joined the alternative candidate. Random wilderness man who feels it’s best to be there for his daughter by sending pictures without words.

The two are so close that when Mi-so’s mother decides to up and leave town again, Mi-so stays in Jeju with Ha-eun, rather than have her life uprooted continually. And from the beginning, this seemingly slight, almost-hidden difference has a big impact on the ways their lives play out. While outwardly they grow up like sisters, the reality is that they’re not. Mi-so has been abandoned while Ha-eun has her parents’ love. This isn’t an explanation for their behavior, but rather, it’s one of the small crevices that will deceptively add to the major crack between them.

Years flash forward and we see them as high school seniors, with Mi-so outspoken and defiant and Ha-eun quieter but eager to follow Mi-so’s trouble-ready lead.

Both girls are artists and Mi-so’s dream is to travel the world and paint – living hard and burning out early like Janis Joplin.

Ha-eun, though, is afraid to fly, and so she declines when Mi-so gives her the hypothetical offer of traveling the world together someday

Ha-eun is so timid that even though she’s great at drawing, she plans to follow her father’s wishes and become a teacher instead.

As we start to see the tracks laid for how their paths might diverge, the biggest breach of them all appears in the form of a boy: HAM JIN-WOO (Byun Woo-seok). He’s Ha-eun’s crush – and will be a life-long source of problems for the two best friends

At the outset, there are signs of trouble. Jin-woo isn’t initially aware of Ha-eun’s existence and Mi-so (not subtly) pushes him into dating her

But it’s clear even in their first conversation – which is about Ha-eun – that Jin-woo is attracted to Mi-so.

Once he and Ha-eun are firmly in a relationship, the duo becomes a trio, spending all their free time together and enjoying their final summer of youth.

From here, the split in the friends’ lives becomes blatant but the real reasons for it aren’t clarified until the end – when both women have had time to contend with their own lives.

We see Mi-so living a bohemian lifestyle, working odd jobs and taking painting classes, until she’s ditched by whatever guy she’s taken up with and told by her art teacher that her paintings are mediocre.

Yet, for five years, she writes letters back to Ha-eun, fabricating a successful life and lying about all the world travel she’s doing.

Back in Jeju, Ha-eun stays the course on her teaching career and continues her relationship with Jin-woo

Attention: there are some spoilers in my review comments below.

Behind Your Touch is one of the weirdest kdramas that I have ever scene, and I have watched many.

Everything related to the weirdness in this show boils down to the script. It is one of the strangest that I have seen in kdrama. What starts out as a kooky, slapstick "butt drama/comedy", eventually morphs into a tense, psychological murder-mystery thriller. Yes, I did type that, and I fully realize those words do not belong together in the same sentence.

There are a lot of ways that you, the viewer, can interpret this show. You can simply scoff at its infantile and stupid plot, and drop watching it. If you do decide to do this, I totally understand - this show is not for everyone. Or, maybe, perhaps, you happen to tune in to this show while you are feeling a more tolerant and explorative mood. If you do find yourself in the later scenario, you can then embark on this strange journey. At that point, you may be hooked (as I was).

As I progressed through each of these crazy episodes, I often asked myself "Why would Lee Min-Ki and Han Ji-min sign on to take the lead roles in this....this...this...oh, he11, what do I call it?" And eventually it dawned on me that my inability to label this show could perhaps be the reason why these two A-list actors agreed to act in it. Behind Your Touch most definitely stands out with its own uniqueness in the vast sea of kdramas.

Ok, enough of my conjecture. On to the quantitative. The show is well-produced and directed. The acting is good. The script is...well...the script is...wonky. You will need to decide if "wonky" is good or bad, depending on your taste (you may want to Google "wonky").

I have wrestled with myself on what review score to give this show, and I finally decided on "8". In spite of everything I have written here, I cannot explain why, other than to fall back on the adage "the Whole is greater than the sum of its parts".

P.S. the adorable out-takes at the end of the final episode also influenced my rating. :)
