I got a bean already. So... I don't know if there was a lot of hip-hop references and I couldn't find any butttouching scene yet in this episode.

I have another disappointment to add. While I am glad we didn't yet again get the second male lead as the culprit, I don't think the show handled Sun-woo's character effectively. He was there as a potential suspect and a love interest in other words he was used as a plot device and even his mother's story and how he came to the town to get revenge remained a loose end.

Hum...

The Shaman got the best power, no need to touch butt or legs of strangers.

The whole murders plot was pretty weak and not very logical. Jang-Yeol can fight 10 thugs in the same time but never was able to beat the shaman? Why didn't they use sunglasses when they knew how he got the informations? His motive was weak too.

Seon-Woo's character was just there to make the investigation more complicated by his useless mystery. What about his mum after all of that? But he didn't really have effect in Ye-Bun's life. The fact he was talking about his missing mum at her grand-father's funeral was kinda selfish.

The best part of this drama was the duo Han Ji-Min and Lee Min-Ki. I loved every interaction of their characters and they were the only reason I watched this drama. I didn't care about the rest of the town and the comedy with them.

What in the world happened to Shaman parks son????

turned out, Seon-woo was the smartest out of all the characters in the show. Only, not smart enough to save himself; quite the irony.

I am glad that they did not give a convoluted reason as to why Shaman Park was killing. He was a psychopath-plain and simple.
When Jang Yeol and Yu Bin were captured by the goons, I thought the police would rescue them because they had all rushed to the cars. But they seem to have evaporated midway.

Laughing right up ’til the end. Even with so many chilling & heartbreaking deaths, all that blood and the repeating visuals of the multi-knife-stabbing murders, I kept surprising myself by how many laughs the drama pulled out of me. Comedy was hiding in every corner that the serial killer wasn’t. First of all, kudos to the writers for folding in the offbeat residents of Mujin. No wonder it was challenging to find a wacko serial killer when so many others in town were also ‘nails above the board’ when it comes to quirky; beginning with Ye-bun’s wild best friend & her french-teacher boyfriend, and especially farmer Gwang-shik. The writers used the inherent duality of each off-centre personality perfectly to keep us guessing, embellishing them with comic touches, yet their very quirkiness itself hinted that they just might be capable of something random, like murder. I felt sorry for lightning-struck Gwang-shik in the beginning, but then loved him when he found his girlfriend and joined the ‘super-power detective team’, but later the writers gave us plenty of reasons to suspect him, and hmmm, yes, he was acting very suspicious, but then bingo he was dead. So everyone in Mujin seemed like a suspect, even the nice female officer with the cheating husband…hmmm…yup, she just might be capable of killing young girls out of jealousy. So when you get past the 3rd quarter of a series and still wonder which of all these nice offbeat people is really a serial killer, then you know that’s good writing. Especially how they used the concept of Ye-bun’s bum-touching power . It was always used for good. They stayed in their lane with the humour and kept it funny not Freudian. Well done.
As for our OTP…that ending was outstanding for me. Agreed, it was a sloth-speed slow burn romance, but we knew they were heading there eventually. Mostly because of because of Lee Min ki’s earlier ‘tells’….like those warm puppy-eyed stares at Ye-bun when she wasn’t looking…sheesh, Lee Min Ki talks sentences with his eyes. However the biggest hint this couple would make it to the end for me was when Jang-yeol began to put her needs and life ahead of his own. As for Han Ji Min…respect…this has been the best part I’ve seen her in (not that I’ve seen all her dramas lol) But just as the director promised if she took the role, she would become a ‘Comedy Queen’. I was surprised at how natural she looked in that oddball role. Ye Bun is a one-of-a-kind character. Naive and a bit helter-skelter when it came to taking off on her own or even walking straight into the murderer’s den, but then everything she did was ‘full send’. Her reactions to people & situations were always big-hearted and always willing to give people the benefit of the doubt. I LOVED her in the last episode, all ‘glowed up” and professional, fielding a TV interview, then stepping out of her comfort zone to initiate contact with Jang-yeol after eight months apart and hoping that Ok hui’s electric-pink...

BYT did get it right in the end. The last fifteen minutes delivered what I mainly watched the drama for, silly, over-the-top humour that didn't always work, but mostly did. I have nothing against crime, but in the last episodes the murders were too much in the foreground and the humour was understandably lacking for the most part.

From the beginning I didn't have high expectations for the romance, so I wasn't disappointed that there were only a few romantic scenes between FL and ML. Overall, I was satisfied with the way things ended up (or started) between the two of them.

Speaking of first impressions. I remember writing after the first two episodes that I could do without the shaman (because I didn't find him funny at the time). In a way I was right, just for the absolute wrong reasons.

I still do have a overall positive impression of the shown. I like the leads Ye Bun and Jang Yeol. Also their posse, the Mujin Police team, Ok Hee and her gang, French teacher, Sun Woo and Gwang Shik.

My one disappointment is the loose end of the land scam. I was hoping for a more justice-related reason for the serial murders. Only to be dissappointed with the nonsensical actual reason. Also I feel bad for the deaths of the last three characters. It felt pointless. If they had to write a serial murder in atleast make the capture of the serial killer be satisfying rather than frustrating. Maybe that was two.

Overall, if we skip the serial murder, this was an entertaining watch.

Do I get a bean for faithfully following via the recaps?

Sun-woo's death really hurt. But not so much cause he(the writing) didn't give me any reasons to believe he wasn't the poncho killer so instead of it feeling like an emotional punch that makes me regret ever suspecting me, I see it as another stunt at whodunnit which while it gave it's shock effect, and simultaneously left no emotional impact on me as a reader.

If anything, it is the fact that poncho killer got the most efficient psych power of all, and Ye-bun got the most ridiculous end of it. I don't think this will have landed the quirky side of it had Ye-bun gotten eye contact psychometry and on that end, I sincerely commend the writing team for going for that sensitive end and landing it in properly.

I was left wondering what the hell was the last like 10 minutes and now after reading the weecap, I'm wondering what the hell was the finale in general. I don't even know what to say. I watched this every week even though I didn't feel any particular way about it which is probably why I don't feel more disappointed though I am confused.

I wanted the shaman to be hit in the face with a frying pan.

Apparently people can do a hell of alot with their eyes closed; writing notes, walking while carrying a hostage, moving tops and covering it was grass & dirt.

Of course, the dog being scared of losing its new owner made me teary eyed.

It's just alot of wah wah wah

I worried that the show won’t end in a satisfying way, but for most parts it worked for me. The last 15 minutes of the show was delightful and reminded me of the humor that drew me to the show in the first place.

Serial killer plots are hard to be convincing as the motivations are usually weak or hard to relate to. Same applies here. I have questions regarding this but I shall let it pass as there will be no convincing answers. I wish the show used a murder case that was logical rather than serial killer plot. Atleast the Shaman was smart and used his power quite efficiently to outsmart people. So the last two episode’s definitely felt tight and not boring.

The last episode affirmed that Bong belonged with Jang Hyeol. They were such an awesome team. She acts more decisively and confidently when he is around. Compare that to her panicking when he is not there. And I like that she reached out to him and ‘wants’ to be part of investigations and finds excitement in it. And I liked that they took time with setting up the romance given everything that happened.

Overall, I enjoyed the show. The characters were wonderful especially our leads, ok-Hui, her sisterhood and our cops. The humor was fantastic. I wish the show didn’t go this dark into the crime and kept the humor throughout. Towards the end it felt like it struggled with the murder plot but also felt like it was intentional.

I badly need LMK and HJM in a rom com. Make it happen drama gods!! Please!!

I think the show wrapped it up well, not perfect of course with the plot holes and all (where is the shaman's kid?) but I am glad they went back to the comedy in the end. I wasn't expecting the call back to the orange(?) lipstick so when they did it, it was a LOL moment. Even the mosquito kill at the very end.. that was funny.

I agree with most of the comments re Lee Min Ki and Han Ji Min's chemistry. I am a fan of HJM but this is the first show I had a non neutral impression of LMK.

Some commenters wanted more vet cases a few eps ago, so I guess this is how the show responded by giving us one last case.

Anyway, I am glad I picked this up despite some comments re the iffiness of butt touching. But I think the show handled that well.

I didn't mind the motive or lack thereof because evil is always worse when it's seemingly senseless or done just for fun.

On an episode of Criminal Minds (US) there was a case where the unsub kept killing people because he wanted to get them as close to death as possible and revive them so he ask about their near death experience (did they see God, did they see memories of their life, etc). So, maybe cause I've watched shows like Criminal Minds, the shaman's motivation wasn't too nonsensical to me.

I'm just more confused about why he chose those victims. Like was he just randomly ready to kill and standing on a random road when he killed the streamer? Same with Seung Gil; he was just loitering around the hospital?

He said the betrayal metric came to mind after the fact but that is literally the only link between the victims!

I didn't understand why a reason was given then dismissed (just to lean into the psychopathic murder idea) nor why the thug business man wouldn't just keep the shaman has a hostage too.

I liked this drama more than I thought I would, and, as others have said, its ability to keep me guessing who the murderer was till ep15 was impressive. The humour was wacky but worked for me, and I thought the romance was actually perfect - just starting out by ep16, but clearly going to be a triumph.

I agree that the last episodes wobbled. I loved the idea that the Shaman got his powers through eye contact with the cow, and when he first confessed to Ye-bun, his make-up gave him a clear Joker vibe which made sense of the fact that he was just in it for laughs. But after that, it got ridiculous. Why we needed to go back and bring in Gangster Baek for "closure" remains a mystery, the extended sequence with Ye-bun hearing the sounds to guide the French teacher to Ok-hui was too long, the Shaman avoiding everyone for as long as he did was tiresome, the hide-and-seek kids enabling Ye-bin to see a pixel of a face in a window was not particularly convincing and on and on. We also had things not finished off, particularly Seon-woo's story, which felt like a glaring hole. Why is it so hard to land endings, writers? You had so much material with the villagers - how they all faced the murders and the redevelopment corruption and moved on - and with General MacArthur - how the villagers chose to deal with his mural in the Shaman's house could have been comedy gold.

Still, this is not the first drama that has faltered in the last episode, and there's been worse, so overall a win for me.

The whole case turned into a joke, and all the tension and mystery the show built up to this point became meaningless.

This, @lovepark, this. In many real respects, the joke really did end up being on the audience. What did we just spend 16 hours watching? Some of the characters had relatively satisfying storylines and endgames (for example, our 55/51 couple, Ok-hui and Yong-myeong's aegyo-filled relationship, and even Deok-hee's evolving career). But, overall, the show seemed more like a "shaggy dog" tale--meandering and with no point except to string the audience along--than anything else to me.

I also remain disappointed that women were often the outsized target for the harshest of the jokes and almost all of the violence. I know that this is (unfortunately) more-than-common, but in the context of this story which ended up being about very little, the gendered focus of this directed vitriol shone out to me like a bright light.

Speaking of light, Lee Min-ki and Han Ji-min were incandescent when they were allowed to be, but those times were all too rare. It is clear that many folks became really attached to the characters--especially these two--in this drama, and I feel a form of jealousy about that. I really, REALLY wanted to like this show, but I never did because the creators lost my trust so early on. I just felt that they were simply toying with the audience to see how much we could take. And I guess I feel that the did end up doing just that. I don't feel righteous about this. I wanted to be proven wrong. And, frankly, at the end of the day, given the mess of these last two episodes, I'm not entirely sure that this was as pre-planned as I might make it seem.

Did the production team start with the funny idea of a butt-touching psychic and then just locked themselves in a writing room, got real high, and just saw where their ideas took them? Perhaps.

I personally think this show has been fantastic all the way through episode 13. I was impressed by how well they balanced the mystery, comedy and some lowkey romance. The turn of events in ep14 made me wary of how they were going to wrap everything up with just 2 episodes. I loved this show so much and I wanted it finish strong. And as if the whole ep15 was not enough to wrap up the killer, extending his spree further with kidnapping and all, eating up half of ep16 let me down. Well, it was not bad, I actually liked some parts of it: Ok-hui gang coming to her rescue (I especially liked Da-eun showing up for eonni), but I was really really wary of the time. If they had 1 more extra ep, sure why not.

Okay, Shaman was finally wrapped up for real with 25mins left in the finale ep. I was ready to be disappointed, but boy, I found myself satisfied, happy even? Sure there were still some plotholes and forgotten storylines, but the happy ending they gave to our main casts was enough for me: 55-51 couple, eonni couple, and even Dok-hui (him assigned to Seoul). And of course, our main OTP Ye-Yeol. The time alloted for their romance may be short, but very sweet. The bus stop moment, the reunion in Seoul, and Jang-yeol protecting Ye-bun from a headbutt (Lee Min-ki in all his handsomeness glory wtf!!!). The quality over quantity did it for me.

I am happy with the final episodes and the show overall. It is far from perfect, but it has been fantastic from start to finish (at least for me).

Farewell, Behind Your Touch. Thank you for bringing me so much joy and entertainment for the past 8 weeks. You’re still my best drama of 2023.🍑

@lovepark Thank you for the recap.

If we put on our thinking caps then the final two episodes wouldn't make sense, but if we went with the original premise of the drama which is to be absurd, then the ending lands just right. In fact, I do not think the writer/PD went with a last minute decision to make the shaman the bad guy because his remark at the station shows the drama is actually self sware. When questioned about his motive he said, "I could say betrayal, but that's bit of a stretch isn't it? I should have planned more thoroughly, but I am not a planner. I tried to make the rules after the act, so they didn't fit logic."

Anyway, I liked that the show tried to incorporate humour even in the finale. Ye Bun keeping an index finger on the tie to hold it in place when the gang guy tried to inject her made me LOL. Her unexpectedly poke the shaman's eye was also funny. I was also not disappointed with the way the main OTP ended, but I wanted one kiss at least between the side couples (55/51 or Ok Hui/Unni guy). Overall, I enjoyed this show. Kudos to the cast, writer/PD.

So it was the shaman after all! I actually liked how cartoonish he became after the reveal, he was just evil, a killer who enjoyed the look in the eyes of his victims. Like the Joker- which was emphasized with his contoured, mask-like make-up. Park Hyuk-kwon really aced it here.

I really liked these last two episodes, the wacky humour was back. The prison case felt like an add-on, but how can I not forgive another stellar special appearance from Lee Jung-eun!

Lee Min-ki and Han Ji-min were great together, but they did not carry the show alone, the whole cast was a joy to watch.

I overall liked this show, plot holes and all. Ye-bun and Jang-yeol were so adorable at the end, I want more of them! I'm also so happy that the aunt and police captain got their fairytale ending, too. And, of course, Ok-hui. I haven't said it yet here, so I will take this opportunity to do so: Ok-hui Dok-hui is the best business name, ever.

That dog story made me cry. Honestly, I think my favorite part of the drama other than the romance was the animal stories.

Ye-bun went through SO much trauma that the show ended up just disregarding, but hey. I guess we'll say her mental health recovery powers are like Jang-yeol's physical recovery powers.

I have to say, I actually think it's refreshing to see a serial murderer who's just a psychopath as opposed to someone who had a horrible life.

Who would have thought that the butt drama would become my favorite of the currently airing dramas? This was soo much fun. A great mix of comedy, mystery, thriller and a hint of romance.

Random thoughts during the final eps:
- Lee Min Ki has no business looking this good.

- Jimin is such a cutie. I'm gonna miss Ye bun

- I love OK Hee's gang. I cheered soo much when the arrived on bikes. I need a BYT spin off about the adventures of OK Hee's gang.

Well, that happened.

Look, was it quality entertainment? No. Was the romance satisfying? Which one? Never mind, both answers are no. Was there character growth? Not really. Were there plot holes and logic fails and dropped plot threads galore? You betcha! Did I still, somehow, mostly enjoy myself to the end? Surprisingly, yes.

I didn't care about the plot holes. I binged the show this past week and caught up with the finale yesterday and I enjoyed the entire run. That was a really fun show.

Lots of plot holes at the end, alas. They could have used some of the time they spent protractedly chasing after Shaman Park wrapping up some loose ends instead, like what he did with his kid (was I the only one who thought the kid was going to be the hostage, not Ok-hui?). I also wanted the redevelopment subplot, and the fates of the two moms, to have a more satisfying resolution. And I agree it would have been better to end with something more romantic between Ye-boon and Jang-yeol. That was a waste, and it was jarring to have those slapstick jail scenes in the last 10 minutes.

Still in all, I really liked this show. I looked forward to it every week. This is one where it might actually be nice to have a series 2, though I really can't imagine what the overarching stakes would be.

My only thought for the last two episodes was, "Okay, they doing too much with the killer, bro" but I feel the last 20 minutes were top tier and somewhat made up for it? hilarious comedy and so cute.

P.S. It's hilarious to me that, even while long dead, Gen. MacArthur is at least tangentially involved with easily preventable Korean deaths

I did my first LIVE live watch in real time from my Seoul hotel room. I understood bits and pieces of Korean, but the acting and direction made comprehension OK.

The Shaman being the killer made sense but the thrill kill motivation did not. The chess match of escape hide and seek was well done. But after that, the story and cameos were dreadful. If the show went dark, it should have stayed dark and at least answered open questions. (I think the producers or network wanted a happy comedy ending.)

For example, what happened to the Shaman’s son? Did Ok-Hee’s girl gang fall apart because she was no longer invincible? Why would YeBun leave her home to follow a rogue cop with no chemistry? She is beyond naive and winds up in a truly toxic relationship at best. The cow also had the sight magic power! Missed opportunity to parade cow down streets gathering info instead of touching butts.

Han Ji Min was very good in her role even though her character choices were lacking (SITR vibes). Shaman transformation to evil monster was very good, too.

WHAT A RELIEF!! Sure there were some holes, but it had put a big smile on my face by the end. It didn't make me go "that's it...not bad" or "wtf?". One of the better endings out there and it stayed true to the spirit of the drama.

Sure, the writing had the characters make some ill-advised decisions in order to obfuscate the killer (I would rate the drama higher if they hadn't killed Seon-woo...)...but it has been a fun and thrilling and full of terrific comedy.

I felt the finale week had thriller, tears, comedy, and romance and such a good send-off for our characters (Seon-woo did not die completely in vain), complete with callbacks to earlier parts of the series.

-Ye-bun knowing Arabic. Seon-woo smartly uses it to send a message.
-Ok-hee's gang on motorcycles - complete with the never-been-seen-except-in-flashback, Da-eun, and her brother/Eonni guy, Yong-myung. There was a cute winged heart decoration on her bike.
-Jang-yeol's superpower - on the count of 3. "1.." and his flip.
-Jang-yeol thinking he's got the handle on the Mujin way of speaking...but sometimes, when the bus is leaving, it really IS leaving!
-the hair-tuck!! She was catching feelings for Jang-yeol right before he left.
-"The show has gone to the dogs" - echo of Jang-yeol's sentiment about Mujin when he first arrived.
-One more tearjerker dog story.
-The glow-in-the-dark lipstick
-Deok-hee crying with relief after Ok-hee was rescued. In the first episode, he cried because he hated her.

Other things that stood out:
-It was great how they revealed all those moments when Seon-woo appeared serial-killer-y and the Shaman fearful, it was the other way around.
-Our 2521 couple getting married! Gives me hope that the OG 2521 will also reunite after a divorce.
-Lee Jung-eun reunion with Han Ji-min
-The prison-mate intro song
-Getting asked out on a date at a prison yard -- now that is definitely new! These two will never not be odd.
-I enjoyed how they kept the romance light and at the "some" (as the younger koreans like to put it) stage.
-Also LOL that the more rom-com final half-hour comes with face-smoothing filter and Jang-yeol's more rom-com leading man hair.

Sooooo....I sat on my thoughts before penning them.
For me, what worked:
The crime angle landed well. The killer had no true motive but pleasure - now that was novel, and I am glad the show did this, because psychopaths often do this as it gives them a high.
My only question is, why did he turn into a killer suddenly....I wish they had given some backstory, like a couple of unsolved murders, that they could have pinned to him.
The execution of the last episode was choppy. On the one hand, there was this intelligent use of 'Arabic'; on the other, Jang Yeol, who beats up 20 goons in one go, needs help finding a handle on Shaman. And, yes, where did the police jeeps go?
I hated the last 10 minutes of the new characters. I wish the show had devoted some time to each faithful character instead. The entire cast gave tons of laughter; there was no reason they needed Ye Bun to kill mosquitoes to generate humour.
But all in all, not bad. The show stuck to its tracks and didn't get derailed. Lee Min Ki and Han Ji Min look lovely together. It's 8/10 (it would have gotten a nine if Lee Min Ki had been in the frame for the last 10 minutes, but, oh well, K drama has been doing it a lot this year). I earned my bean and, all in all, happy.

Thank you for the weecap, @lovepark! I have a lot of questions, too, starting with: where is Shaman Park's son now? He was suddenly introduced and sent away from the show. What happened to Gwang-shik's 'girlfriend'? Did she inherit his farm? Sun-woo came and went into town without anybody really knowing who he is. Where did Imo's ex-husband go after testifying against grandpa? Aah, I still got the bean.

Thank you @lovepark for a fun ride. Your wonderful comments and side notes made us go over the uneven bits cheerfully.
Too many loose threads, odds and ends ... but as you rightly say ... better to take out our amnesia wand, forget the past and move on.
🧚‍♀️ Here's some fairy dust (amnesia powder) to sprinkle on the iffy bits.
Looking forward to next drama recap with you.
Hwaiting!! 👍

This drama is very far from perfect but they have given me tons of laughter for the last 8 weeks. I have never come across a drama of this nature as in very comical, so unserious. Then add in the thriller element. I am quite surprised actually that it worked and a lot even enjoy the drama. I do think it is because of the whole cast. I can't remember any single character i dislike. I commend the whole production and the whole casts for making a one of a kind drama like this. I love HJM but my respect for her as an actress grew even more. She has accepted a project that can actually break her if done wrong. Thank you show for a job well done. You have made my lastb8 weeks with so much fun. I hope we can have more dramas that are of this nature, not the usual norm. Farewell my favorite show: BYT!

I needed to let go of my common sense thoughts for this one and just enjoy it. The comedic parts were great, and I liked that it kept me guessing. I also enjoyed the animal stories. I did not like that Seon Woo was killed off, especially without any closure for his already tragic life. I really liked this character. Also Ye Bun's mom's murder, there was a second murderer who was never brought to justice unless you count his own murder. I appreciated the return to humor at the end but wish they had worked on a case together rather than separately at the women's prison, and I would have enjoyed seeing a bit more of the main characters' futures. Overall it was an entertaining watch but not a great drama.

Thanks for the recaps lovepark. 
I'm a bit late to comment as I have been away and only just caught up.
I did enjoy episode 15 more than 16 because I felt like they spent way too much time on the serial killer plot in the last hour and it became repetitive.
I didn't need the guest appearances at the end as I thought the time would have been better spent rounding out the community of characters that they used so cleverly during the show. 
We never really got back to the FL mothers suicide/murder, the grandfather and why he treated the FL the way he did and Seon woo was quickly forgotten, there were a few things just pushed aside. 
Also we only had one scene with the FL using her powers on an animal which at the beginning of the series was the real heart of the show. 
I wish we had a couple of scenes with Ok-hee and her Eonnie, we skipped them getting together, which was disappointing as they were so hilarious and were one of the highlights of the show for me. 
Although I was fine with the leads not kissing at the end, I was annoyed that their last few scenes together were used with the unnecessary prison storyline.
Why couldn't they finally have an adult conversation about their feelings with a little bit of humour and a hug/hand hold at least?  Just some forward progression for their characters would have been nice instead of them running out of camera together as their chemistry was fantastic. I look forward to watching them again in whatever they do next.
I agree with other beanies that Lee Min-ki looked especially fine these last few episodes.
Overall though, despite these few things I really loved  this show for the fabulous acting, clever plotting/writing, unique characters and catchy intro. I know I will rewatch it in the future.
