What if you had the power to see someone’s past? But, here’s a catch: You’ll have to get behind them–quite literally.
That’s the premise of Netflix’s K-drama offering Behind Your Touch, whose title takes a literal spin. Featuring a veterinarian-slash-potential-detective who holds the ability to look into history by touching someone’s behind, the seemingly unconventional drama now has viewers hooked. But before you hit play, get the lowdown of the essential info below!
The Plot
With a splattering of comedy and mystery, the show revolves around Bong Ye-bun (Han Ji Min), a veterinarian living in the peaceful village of Mujin. While her life seems run-of-the-mill on paper, she possesses an unusual ability: touching the rear end of someone–something–lets her see its past. (Hence, the title!)
One day, she crosses paths with Detective Moon Jang-yeol (Lee Min Ki), who was once a top investigator in Seoul, but soon got demoted to Mujin's small police station. He aims to return to the city force and uses Ye-Bun's power to aid his cause. They work together on minor cases until a string of serial murders shakes things up around the once-serene village. Meanwhile, Kim Sun-woo (Suho) arrives in Mujin and takes a part-time job at a convenience store. He's friendly and kind-hearted, but a mysterious aura lingers around him.
The Cast
Leading the pack is Han Ji Min as Ye-bun, the veterinarian with a peculiar rear-end-leaning ability. The award-winning actress was last seen in dramas and films including Resurrection (2005), Rooftop Prince (2012), Familiar Wife (2018), Our Blues (2022), and Miss Baek (2018), where she bagged the Best Actress title in the prestigious 55th Baeksang Arts Awards.
Opposite her is Lee Min Ki, who portrays the former top detective Jang-yeol. The actor has graced several box office hits and notable dramas, including Tidal Wave (2009), Quick (2011), Very Ordinary Couple (2013), Because This Is My First Life (2017), and My Liberation Notes (2022).
K-pop idol and actor Suho of EXO takes on the role of Kim Sun-woo. Aside from the stage, the multi-faceted performer has appeared on the screen, spanning films and dramas like Rich Man (2018), The Universe’s Star (2017), and The Present (2019).
Completing the main leads is Joo Min Kyung as Bae Ok-hui, Ye-bun’s confidante. The star has been previously spotted in hit dramas, such as Jirisan (2021), Something in the Rain (2018), and Green Mothers’ Club (2022).
The Crew
Sitting on the director’s chair is Kim Suk Yoon, whose filmmaking range is best exemplified in series My Liberation Notes (2022), Law School (2021), and The Light in Your Eyes (2019). Meanwhile, his frequent collaborator Lee Nam Kyu penned the drama once more, having written works like Detective K (2011-2018), Daily Dose of Sunshine (2023), and The Light in Your Eyes (2019).
