“Behind Your Touch” episode 16 review

That was an ending that felt too long for its own good and not in a satisfactory way. Its as if the writing needed more time to come together.

I was initially worried this drama would be too long for the material its supposed to discuss, and sadly, I was right. Its simultaneously draggy and frustrating.

There are many areas in the writing that felt very dumb even with the suspension of disbelief. Suspension of disbelief might work in some works but not this one because you do want people to speculate and suspect everyone which means they’d look for clues, and concentrate harder than they normally could to figure out the killer, but then, the screenwriter glosses over or ignores certain points they would have used in the past simply because it serves to drag the plot and fill up the episodes count.

Which takes me back to why I said the longer you allow ideas that are not meant to be long to drag, the worse the outcome becomes.

I get it, it’s the broadcasting requirements and this drama did well so in a sense, I am happy for everyone involved.

I think this drama could’ve have been at least 50 times better with more concise writing. This could’ve been a huge gem and for so many reasons. Imagine if it was produced by Netflix.

My personal least favorite parts of the ending included the non-inclusion of the remaining police force that made sure he sort of got away with stabbing even more innocent people and potentially endangering even more.

Having said this, I loved the performances and the humor of the drama. It was best when it was light, and it got pretty dark because these days, its often VERY rare to find genuine rom-coms Kdramas with no fantasy or thriller attached to it.

The last 10 minutes or so of the ending felt very unnecessary, we could’ve gotten a better ending with the couple dating and getting to know each other romantically and such instead of what the ending was.
