5 Best Moments from "Behind Your Touch" That'll Stay With Us Forever

Behind Your Touch recently concluded its run, leaving fans satisfied with its ending. The K-drama made our weekends fun, keeping us seated for new episodes every week. 

Behind Your Touch is set in the peaceful village of Mujin, where Bong Ye Bun (Han Ji Min) serves as a veterinarian. One day, she gets a psychometry superpower which allows her to see the past of the person or animal she touches. 

Enter Moon Jang Yeol (Lee Min Ki), a top detective from the violent crimes team in Seoul, who gets demoted to Mujin. In his quest to return to Seoul, he pairs up with Ye Bun. The duo initially tackles minor cases until a serial murder case emerges.

Adding intrigue to the mix is Kim Seon Woo (Suho), a newcomer to the village. He is also from Seoul and finds part-time work at a local convenience store in Mujin. With his innocent smile and kind-hearted demeanor, he appears approachable, yet there is an air of mystery around him.

Behind Your Touch is a multi-genre drama that puts com before the rom. The show did a pretty good job bringing out the organic humor, an element lost in most cinema productions. In light of this, here are some of the funniest moments that had us laughing out loud.

Note: This article may contain spoilers. 

1.  Lee Min Ki Trying to Score Big

From the very start, the K-drama vividly depicts detective Moon Jang Yeol (Lee Min Ki) unhappy about being assigned to the rural village of Mujin. The moment he set foot in the town, he had already formed a negative opinion about it. Moreover, his first case of the violent crime of catching a wild cow had him baffled. 

Frustrated by the town's bizarreness and the fact that the only crimes happening are cows running wild and onions dying from pesticides, he decides to search for major cases himself. 

One of the funniest moments is when he catches wind of a potential drug supply route in Mujin. He goes around tasting all kinds of white powders from every place suspicious. In episode 2, we see Won Jong Muk (Kim Hee Won) receiving a phone call reporting that someone consumed white powder from the Hana Mart storage room, which turned out to be rat poison. Moon Jang Yeol's reaction to this news was simply priceless. 

Throughout the series, Jang Yeol's efforts to crack a big case, stemming not from his sense of justice but from his desire to get back to Seoul, kept viewers amused. 

2. Han Ji Min Panicking Over Hair Loss

When Bong Ye Bun (Han Ji Min) discovers that her power can actually lead to hair loss, she decides to refrain from using it, which means putting a pause on her job as a vet. As a result of this, she is sent to a fish farm by her aunt, where she grows tired of giving vaccine to the fish. 

Jang Yeol, suspecting drug-related activity, raids the place and mistakes Ye Bun for a drug addict. He takes everyone to the station for investigation and instructs detectives Bae and Na to collect hair samples from the detainees for drug testing.

Upon hearing this, Ye Bun becomes frantic and adamantly refuses to let anyone near her hair. The scene was particularly hilarious because of Bong Ye Bun's disheveled appearance, which led Jang Yeol to mistake her for a drug user in the first place. Han Ji Min delivered a phenomenal performance, once again winning the hearts of her fans. 

3. Ok Hee-Deok Hee Sibling Squabbles

The Ok Hee-Deok Hee brother-sister duo is the classic example of siblings who can never seem to see eye to eye. Even their names, Ok Hee and Deok Hee, with their okey-dokey rhyme, add a touch of humor to the mix.

In the first episode, Deok Hee quips to Jang Yeol, "My sister would've committed treason if she'd been born in the Joseon Dynasty. She has the face of a snake". He goes on to amusingly share the reason behind becoming a detective, saying, "One day, I'm going to cuff my sister with my own hands". 

Though the drama has only a handful of scenes of the siblings, they are nothing short of dynamic. 

4. Ye Bun Exploiting Jang Yeol and Vice Versa

In episode 4, we see Cha Ju Man robbed of an important document from his office. Detective Jang Yeol is thrilled to hear the news as he has finally got a big opportunity to return to Seoul. 

He runs off to Ye Bun to seek her help, but she delivers the bad news that she cannot help him as he damaged her hands by overworking them. 

Anxious, Jang Yeol runs off to the convenience store and buys all kinds of hand cream. Cunning Ye Bun seizes the opportunity to make Jang Yeol perform various tasks for her, including giving her a hand massage, covering the cost of her manicure, buying her a ring, and even her supplements.

But Jang Yeol isn't among the ones who will let her easily exploit him. He, in return, takes full advantage of her, even making her study Arabic to the point that she becomes proficient. 

This push-and-pull dynamic between Ye Bun and Jang Yeol was a standout element of the series, which had us chuckling throughout the series.

5. Supporting Characters Elevating The Fun

Performances of the supporting actors Joo Min Kyung (as Bae Ok Hee), Kim Hee Won (as Won Jong Muk), Park Sung Yun (as Jung Hyun Ok), Park Noh Shik (as Jeon Kwang Shik), Jung Yi Rang (as Na Mi Ran), Jo Min Kook (as Bae Deok Hee) among others, only added a whole lot of fun to the mix. 

Won Jong Muk and Jung Hyun Ok complicated past, Park Jong Bae's trying to succeed as a shaman, detective Won Jong Muk trying to calm down Moon Jang Yeol, Bae Ok Hee assembling her girl gang, etc. - though these elements were fringes decorating the main plot, they definitely were standout aspects without which Behind Your Touch probably wouldn't have got as much success as it did.
