In Behind Your Touch season 1 episode 13, the police nab a new suspect but Jang-Yeol thinks it’s someone else.

Recap

The funeral for Mr. Jung is held and the villagers attend as Ye-bun and Hyeon-Ok grieve heavily.

Major Crimes Division takes over the case and Jang-Yeol gets Mr. Jung’s name cleared from the suspect list, citing his stage three Parkinson’s disease.

Gwang-Sik tells Jang-Yeol that he saw Park Jong-Bae going to kill Cha Ju-Man a while ago while touching his leg. The Major Crimes Division detective overhears him and thinks he witnessed that incident.

He soon raids Jong-Bae’s house and arrests him. The fact that Jong-Bae doesn’t remember much regarding his activities on the night of November 1 doesn’t help him.

Jang-Yeol insists it’s not him, while also revealing to Jong-Muk, Detective Na, and Deok-Hee about Ye-Bun’s psychic powers. She demonstrates it to them to make them believe.

Ye-Bun helps Jong-Bae by touching his butt and helping him remember where he was at the night, and later his alibi checks out and the detective lets him go.

Meanwhile, Kim Seon-Woo, who had disappeared for a couple of days returns and attends the funeral. He tells Ye-Bun that he went to look for her mother and couldn’t again, also sharing how he wanted to kill Ju-Man.

Jang-Yeol interrogates Kim Seon-Woo, who reveals that he figured out Ye-Bun’s psychometry powers. He also agrees to let her touch his butt. She does and confirms that he’s neither the killer nor the third psychic.

She later visits Gwang-Sik and Ae-Ran asks her to help her remember where she put her gold ring, but Gwang-Sik suspiciously and quite abruptly stops Ye-Bun from touching her butt. She realizes something and shares it with Jang-Yeol.

She theorizes that Gwang-Sik has been lying to them about a third psychic and misleading them. Jang-Yeol agrees that this does track with the way he’s always been pointing them to new suspects.

Before Behind Your Touch episode 13 rolls the credits, Gwang-Sik is shown delivering milk to Ju-Man’s office in a green rain poncho, looking suspiciously at the electrical socket with blood stains still over it.

Review

Behind Your Touch episode 13 throws more curveballs at the viewers as the mystery of the serial killer’s identity remains unsolved.
Gwang-Sik becomes a suspect again and again it seems to be a distraction. Meanwhile, it doesn’t seem like Kim Seon-Woo’s confident honesty and transparency are all that it seems to be.
The plot seems to be very dominating for a lot of episodes now and it has kind of overwhelmed the more slice-of-life and comedic moments that truly make the show such a warm delight.
Detective Na gets a bit of the spotlight in this episode and does wonders with it, with her remark about Jang-Yeol being one of the funniest moments in the whole affair.
