I’m allergic to any animal with fur. But most of all, I’m allergic to perverts.

Well, the show did calm down a bit and show a consistent inconsistency of tone. Odd-numbered episodes are wacky and zany so far, while even-numbered ones are chaotic evil ending with a violent cliffhanger. But, y’all, I think the joke’s gonna end up being on us. We may even be approaching “They Killed Kenny!!” levels of dark comedy with these. I really hope that’s not where we’re going with our live streamer. But it’s been twice now for her.

The character with the most inconsistent consistency is, of course, our ML. I actually quite adored how Jang-yeol turned coat immediately upon believing Ye-bun, wanting her to grab as many asses as she could, once he realized that it meant he could go back to Seoul. But, then again, when he grabs Ye-bun’s hands in the scene where she tells him that she's lost her power, she's all, "Don't TOUCH ME." Yeah, you tell him. Don’t touch her hands, man. They’re hers.

Funny things do abound. The bit about translating “countryside speak” to “Seoul speak” is, and, I assume, will continue to be, hilarious, as was the whole conversation without real nouns or verbs between the two men in the police station. But these two skits might also serve as analogies to the show writ large. One person talking, and while the intended recipient hears them, they’re not able to make sense of the words—without a translator. Who’s the translator for us? Who knows. Probably no one. But also, who cares? No one’s on our side. Is Sun-woo her secret brother? Is he a killer? I don't trust this show as far as I can throw a rat, and right now I can only imagine it's going to be even worse than we can all imagine. To think about this anymore would be to become the butt of the joke (again).

When the criminal gave himself away by singing along to the noraebang song, that was pretty silly. Sun-woo asking Ye-bun out on an "expired foods date" was also quite funny. "[These expired convenience store foods] cost more than I make in an hour," however, was deadly joke worthy of the politics of Oh YoonA, My Junho When Jang-yeol grabbed Ye-bun “by the window casing,” that was hilarious. And when he demands to know how much it costs for someone else to remove a window casing from another human, that was simply tear-inducing.

When this show gets absurd, I don’t mind being the patsy. When it gets violent and dark, though, I mind a great deal.

Who's watching solely to find all of the Easter Eggs?
The obvious ones I found are the parody scenes from Twenty Five Twenty One. Not just the hilarious fencing scene and the water fountain scene, but also the reference to Da-Eum - the never revealed prior girlfriend of Baek Yi-Jin - who show's up as Da-Eum's brother in this show. Once again, we are denied a visual on Da-Eum.
I also noted a few references to My Liberation Notes and got a good chuckle when she said to "Worship Me"
@lovepark caught the reference to Extreme Job and The Man from Nowhere which totally went over my head.
What other Easter Eggs do you beanies find?

My favourite character is the devoted hubby of Ok-hee's minion and his absolutely hilarious way of saying EONNIIIII 🤣.

We really like this show even with its inconsistencies.

Plot hole: How is it that Hooped creepy guy just happened to be there when nasty streamer girl had her car accident?

I just watch this drama for the humour and the vibes. The serial storyline, as usual, does not really appeal to me

I laugh. A lot. That’s all matters.
The Shaman is a riot.
The lone guy in the girl gang is so funny with this ‘eonni’.
The window sill sequence had me in splits.
The butt swipe and zoom in was wacky.

I was a bit uncomfortable that the ML asked her to swipe butts in a crowd. I am watching this drama more like fantasy yet this scene was a bit off. Especially as a cop who didn’t approve of this initially.

I am hoping the other psychic gets to play a bigger role too. It’s lot easier to hold legs than touch butts.

I completely missed the ‘Man from Nowhere’ reference. Dang.

The leads are doing a great job. They are rolling with this. Suho is too bland to even be a suspect in any of the crimes. But it’s fun watching HJM twist her neck to get a favorable view 😂😂😂

I have to admit that I love romances where I can't possibly imagine the leads together at first, and this one really has me in that respect. Least romantic dynamic I've seen. Also the male lead kinda sucks, but at least I can say he's different from the usual archetypes

@lovepark identifies the major issue with this show,

First, though, I do have to identify a disagreement, which I mentioned last week. I just don't think the sexual harassment issue it at all concern--simply because, as I said, a woman sexually harrassing a man by touching his butt just NEVER happens in reality. So the circumstance is clearly absurd. There have been cases of women sexually harassing men in the workplace, but women just do not sexually harass men by touching their butt, So a general concern about sexual harassment is just not an issue, as far as I'm concerned.

Instead, for me the issue is the one both @lovepark and @attiton identify: the abrupt shift between zany humor and meta-kdrama jokes vs. the dark violence of the plot and the not just unfeeling but actually cruel behavior of the ML. I actually think this latter is a failure of the Lee Min-ki, but overall its failure of the writer and director. I'm going to keep watching, even though I'm not going to make any more butt jokes. Its an end of summer resolution.

Calling this show crazy would be an understatement, but whether it is the the mad stuff that the actors have to enact or the unhinged dialogues they have to utter, I am here for more of it. Truth is I do not even need to switch off my brain cells to enjoy this show because when I am left gasping for air from all the laughs, I certainly do not have the mind space to think and as much as I am in awe of the 100% dedication that this whole team has put behind to make this drama work, I also can't stop suspecting that this whole thing is a massive troll with a big "Why so serious?" sign hanging overhead. Go on show, go on like a kid's silly imaginary story.

@lovepark thanks for the recap.

I think I don't mind so much the butt touching because she doesn't do it for her own pleasure. She's the first one who would have prefered another part of the body to touch to see the memories. Now, she shouldn't try to see memories of people without any reason except her own curiosity (even if the SML is suspicious).

You know how you just have a line and/or delievry that just tickles you? "Why the butt?" was that for me. It just full captures how ridiculous and confusing the situation is and I just giggled alot over it.

Still don't know if he's younger or older but I thought that was kinda funny.

And then came the cringe of her having to touch all the butts. I *knew* there was no way it could be cute or endearing or quirky for long but I was surprised at just how much and how last I was just like 🙄😒. I think it had to do in part because he kinda berated her for not "practicing" once she learned of the ability; saying she needed to poke and kneaded. Like dude, you were JUST calling her a pervert and throwing her over your shoulder and now it's like all green flags to play drums on butts. I actually tuned out after he said that so I didn't understand why she had lost her ability briefly.

Seems like the convienence store guy is probably an undercover creep but I thought that can't possibly be true; it's too easy and predictable for him to have some nefarious plans. Plot twist is if it's the resident countryside police translator haha

Oh! I don't know how I'm supposed to feel about the streamer's repeated victimizing. Why was this a thing? And then they made her two faced and rude to what? Make her an asshole victim so you don't care all that much that she dies? Or maybe the production was trying to save money so they had the same character be a victim twice.

After MY DEAREST left me emotionally drained, the two new episodes of BEHIND YOUR TOUCH were the perfect change to get my mind off things.

The first two episodes seemed rather confused in parts, as if the makers had somehow tried to fit in all the jokes they could think of. This week the plot was a bit more stringent.
I still can't laugh at every gag, but the number of jokes is high enough to keep me entertained. But was it just me and my nasty cold or was episode 4 less funny?

Up to now I haven't noticed any romantic dynamics between ML and FL. So far, the drama can't catch me up in that respect.

I have not laughed this hard in a drama before. And this drama is top tier comedy. The humor works for me. After a long day's work, it is so nice to just watch, relax and laugh out loud. It is so unserious that I am not taking anything seriously, I am for the ride lol. The window sill scene, the john wick scene, singing MLN ost, and the English test. Eonnie calling hahaha. I am enjoying this drama so much. This drama comes from the tandem behind The Light in your eyes so I am not really worried. They know what they are doing lol. And the show's greatest revelation? Han ji min is also good in comedy and that is not an easy feat to do!

Mixing in the classic k-drama plot device, the misguided assumption, Ye-bun teeters between truth and speculation as she slowly turns into the neighborhood amateur snoop. The results are awkward at best. However, she is acting more and more as a naive teen than a professional vet. I mean how many days in a row can you skip work while running a struggling clinic? The writer wants to continue the all-weird stories: Ok-Hui’s boyfriend’s girlfriend reveal; Hyeon-Ok’s throwing herself at Jong-Muk (we all know she is a bad news, spendthrift Succubus). The only growth shown is MacShaman who has toned down his scam behavior to re-connect with his family. But the central theme is "secrets" and I think Det. jang-Yeol, Sun-Woo and Ui-Hwan have major ones to reveal.

I do like how Han Ji Min is acting as a child-like, naive, no-boundaries character even though the character herself is off-base and annoying at times. I also like that her power’s features are evolving by logic and not writer’s whim. But I agree the human touching part is too much. When she lost it, I thought that would have been a good growth point for her to get back to treating animals (and humans) properly. But alas, that did not come to pass.

By the end of episode 2, Ye-bun is torn by secrets too close to home. However, we are also getting too repetitive story lines (the MeTuber, Jong-Muk’s failed love line, and Jan-Yeol sole quest to return to Seoul).

There's something kinda delightful about the running gag of the token gentleman in Ok-hui's girl gang and how overly committed he is to Ok-hui despite just being a stand-in for his sister. Also, I love how he continuously calls Ok-hui "Unni" even though he's a dude and clearly older than her~

OK Hee's girl squad and the creative cursing are tribute to the movie "Sunny."

i mean, obviously if this were real, i think everyone would disapprove of the inappropriate groping and general douchebagery in this show.

but from a drama and fictitious pov, i love this.

it's hysterical and whacky and so so much fun. i love the naive and (a lil) stupid FL, but she's still likeable enough to follow her story. the ML is a horrible person but hilariously self serving.

the side characters are also all hilarious with their own gags. like the girl gang gang girls, the aunty who cant get over her ex, the cop crew, all the other drama references, etc etc.

the show is far from perfect but i'm honestly having a blast with it

Best line: "You okay, perv?" after Jang-yeol saves Ye-bun from being murdered.

I feel like this week was a little less wacky with all the murderyness, and I didn't like the extra time spent on the mean streamer, but I still love how wildly nuts everyone is and how the drama is just happy chilling in a world where such a weird superpower exists and where the heroine is really good at aiming for the butt and where those who have been touched don't feel the kneading in their behinds.

I was skeptical of how Ye-bun was able to escape her classmate's home through that tiny window, but then we got the most absurd explanation: the window frame was weak so she was able to rip it out and escape and have Jang-yeol saw it off. Jang-yeol just moved into a rooftop unit, but somehow a hacksaw is among his possession.

THIS is their world. And I'm happy to visit it 2 hours a week. I almost see it like an anime.

Also the references are the cherries on top. I really want to know what the writer truly thinks of 2521. Part of me thinks she had a love-hate relationship with it.
