Jul 27, 2023

JTBC’s upcoming drama “Behind Your Touch” has unveiled the first glimpse of Lee Min Ki in character!

“Behind Your Touch” is a comedy investigative drama about a diligent yet busybody veterinarian Bong Ye Boon (Han Ji Min) who somehow gains psychometric abilities to be able to see the past of both people and animals in Mujin, a small rural village free of crime, and the ambitious elite detective Moon Jang Yeol (Lee Min Ki) who needs her abilities to return to the criminal investigation team in Seoul. EXO’s Suho also stars as Kim Sun Woo, who suddenly comes down to the village of Mujin one day and starts working as a part-timer.

In the newly released stills, Lee Min Ki transforms into former ace detective Moon Jang Yeol, who graduated top of his class from the National Police University but is later sent down to Mujin, a rural village with zero violent crime. The first still captures Moon Jang Yeol’s fiery determination as he swears to return to Seoul and back to the metropolitan investigation team soon.

However, the next stills hint at Moon Jang Yeol’s struggle to adapt to Mujin and its suspicious villagers. On the first day of being transferred to the Mujin Police Station’s violent crime investigation team, Moon Jang Yeol immediately goes around the village looking for crimes to solve. However, a series of unexpected things keep happening to him, making viewers curious as to what makes Moon Jang Yeol, who doesn’t even bat an eyelash at most violent crimes, look like he’s having a mental breakdown.

As to the reason why he chose to star in another project of director Kim Seok Yoon after starring in Kim Seok Yoon’s latest drama “My Liberation Notes,” Lee Min Ki remarked, “I had a lot of trust in director Kim Seok Yoon, who worked with me in my previous drama, and the script was so attractive. It was a script that made me laugh as I was reading it, and it’s been so long since that ever happened.” Lee Min Ki added, “And it was also great to be able to do [the drama] with Han Ji Min.”

Sharing what he thinks is the unique charm of “Behind Your Touch,” Lee Minki said, “There are various entertaining aspects due to the genre. The characters are also very unique with their own distinctive charms and the plot itself is funny, scary, sad, and will make you curious.”

Lastly, Lee Min Ki remarked, “Jang Yeol is a tsundere. He seems tough and eccentric but he is actually a warm and affectionate person. I remember thinking ‘I hope he’d get along with other characters in the drama.’ Please also look forward to the funny banters between [Moon Jang Yeol] and Bong Ye Boon.”

“Behind Your Touch” is set to premiere on August 12 at 10:30 p.m. KST as the follow-up to “King the Land.”
