Behind Your Touch ending explained — are Bong Ye Bun and Moon Jang Yeol able to catch the mysterious Mujin serial killer?

preview

Skip to main contentAfter directing the Baeksang-winning drama My Liberation Notes, Kim Seok Yoon (along with Choi Bo Yoon) switched genre gears with Behind Your Touch. Tackling surreal humour with excruciatingly dark undertones, Behind Your Touch stars a talented ensemble including Han Ji Min, Lee Min Ki, and EXO leader Suho.The final four episodes of Behind Your Touch unravels the mystery consuming Mujin and its residents: Who is the serial killer terrorising the small town in South Korea? Bong Ye Bun (Han Ji Min), a veterinarian with psychometric powers to see humans and animals’ past by touching their butts, teams up with hot-blooded detective Moon Jang Yeol (Lee Min Ki) to round up on three primary suspects who could be the Mujin serial killer.This content can also be viewed on the site it originates from.The primary suspects are Kim Seon Woo (Suho), a convenience store worker and Ye Bun’s love interest; Jeon Gwang Sik (Park No Sik), a farm owner with psychometric powers to see humans and animals’ past by touching their leg; and Park Jong Bae (Park Hyuk Kwon), a shaman who takes in Seon Woo as a roommate.Ye Bun starts suspecting Gwang Sik, who was initially helping her and Jang Yeol in finding the serial killer. However, the claim of a third Mujin resident having psychometric powers was made by Gwang Sik himself. Hence, Ye Bun starts to think that there was no third person in the first place and that it was a grand scheme by Gwang Sik to clear his name.Gwang Sik starts acting weird, which we later come to know is because he’s come to know who the serial killer is. One night, in pursuit of the serial killer, Gwang Sik encounters the murderer and is viciously stabbed by him. A bloodied Gwang Sik manages to make it to Ye Bun’s clinic and gives her a clue about the serial killer: “Black…” He dies before finishing his words.After deduction, Ye Bun and Jang Yeol realise that the reason why Ye Bun and Gwang Sik were unable to find the serial killer through their superpowers is that the murderer is tricking them by introducing makeshift blackouts in his memories. It's during these blackouts that he kills his victims. While they try to understand how the serial killer is succeeding in creating the makeshift blackouts, Jang Yeol is convinced that Seon Woo, his primary suspect from the very beginning, is the Mujin serial killer. Jang Yeol encounters the serial killer, whose face is shielded by a military green raincoat after he'd stabbed Gwang Sik with his trademark kitchen knife. While running after the mysterious killer, Jang Yeol ends up in front of Park Jong Bae and Seon Woo’s home. Jang Yeol sees Seon Woo coming out with garbage bags and blood on his hand. An impromptu investigation between the two leads to nowhere.Jang Yeol and the police squad - Chief of Mujin Police Station Violent Department Won Jong Mook (Kim Hee Won), Na Mi Ran (Jung Yi Rang) and Bae Ok Hee's (Joo Min Kyung) younger brother Bae Deok Hee (Jo Min Guk) - ask Jong Bae to keep a check on Seon Woo and try to find the bloodied kitchen knife which is the serial killer’s weapon of choice. A worried Jong Bae is on the lookout for the knife and searches the pickle container, but doesn't find anything. Thinking that Seon Woo is the serial killer, Jong Bae takes a knife as a defence mechanism in case of an attack. Seon Woo surprises Jong Bae by taking the knife from him but cutting an apple instead.Jang Yeol gets into a heated confrontation with Seon Woo, who finally retaliates, asking Ye Bun if she found anything while searching through his memories which would confirm him being the serial killer. Ye Bun takes Seon Woo's side. Later, Seon Woo requests Ye Bun to meet him at his woodworking shop because he has to tell her something. At the woodworking shop, we see Seon Woo opening his toolbox to reveal the bloodied knife. When Ye Bun enters, Seon Woo smiles, but immediately backtracks when he sees Jong Bae accompanying her. He swiftly closes the toolbox.Jong Bae requests a worried Seon Woo to accompany him as he goes to the bathroom because it’s far and dark at night. A reluctant Seon Woo follows him while a curious Ye Bun opens the toolbox to find the bloodied knife. A shocked Ye Bun runs away, and when Seon Woo finds his woodworking shop empty and the toolbox opened, he takes the bloodied knife and follows after Ye Bun. Ye Bun stops in her tracks when she sees a hooded man in front of her, who turns out to be the actual serial killer. Seon Woo, from behind, takes Ye Bun’s hand and starts running. The two, unfortunately, don’t get too far, as the serial killer catches up and tackles them to the ground. Seon Woo gets into a tussle with the murderer and tells Ye Bun to run. A scared Ye Bin does just that and calls someone for help.Most PopularRemembering how Seon Woo conveyed to her that she’s the only one who trusts him, Ye Bun musters up the courage and takes an iron pipe to help out Seon Woo. Unfortunately, she’s too late as Seon Woo is mercilessly killed. A disgruntled Jang Yeol is shocked to see Seon Woo’s dead body, and his guilt increases when he’s confronted by a grief-stricken Ye Bun, who lashes out at him.Jang Yeol gets his hand on the phone which was found at the crime scene, but it’s password protected. He also solves how the serial killer was able to create blackouts to hide his memories; by wearing sunglasses. When he conveys this revelation to Ye Bun, she dismisses him out of anger. Ye Bun visits Jong Bae, who is holding a funeral service for Seon Woo. When Ye Bun sees Jong Bae wearing sunglasses, she touches his butt and sees his memory of killing Seon Woo, thus uncovering who the Mujin serial killer is.In a bone-chilling conversation, Park Jong Bae confirms to Ye Bun that he’s in fact the Mujin serial killer, who murdered Seon Woo as well as Ye Bun’s grandfather Jung Eui Hwan (Yang Jae Seong). Seon Woo was able to find out who the serial killer was, which even Ye Bun and Jang Yeol jointly couldn't. The person whom Jang Yeol was chasing after Gwang Sik's attack was Jong Bae and not Seon Woo. While entering their house, a hooded Jong Bae bumped into Seon Woo thus raising the latter's suspicion. Seon Woo also found Jong Bae's bloodied knife inside the pickle container. The cutting apple exchange was shown in reverse, with a worried Seon Woo and a vengeful Jong Bae trying to read his eyes. Seon Woo was also able to deduce that Jong Bae is the third Mujin resident with psychometric powers to see humans’ past by looking into their eyes. This is why Seon Woo wanted to meet Ye Bun, to tell her that Jong Bae was the Mujin serial killer.Most PopularJong Bae toys with Ye Bun, stating that he won’t kill her since she won’t be able to prove that he’s the murderer anyway because all the evidence she has is in her psychometric powers. A terrified Ye Bun meets Jang Yeol outside her clinic. Ye Bun dismisses Jang Yeol’s pleas to catch the serial killer, while Jong Bae watches the duo with eagle eyes. In a turn of events, Jong Bae is arrested and charged with Seon Woo’s murder. The evidence is the aforementioned phone, which belonged to Seon Woo. Tracing through Jong Bae’s memory, Ye Bun discovered that Seon Woo had left her a cryptic message in Arabic as Jong Bae strangled him to death. The Arabic words translated to: “Your birthday.” Ye Bun’s birthday was the password to Seon Woo’s phone, which had a voice recording. In the voice recording, Jong Bae confirms to Seon Woo, moments before his death, that he is the Mujin serial killer. While bumping into Jang Yeol at the clinic after confirming Jong Bae to be the murderer, Ye Bun slyly passed on a note to the detective with Jong Bae's true identity and Seon Woo's phone password. This was done to trick Jong Bae. Ye Bun apologises to a guilty Jong Bae and tells him that he’s not responsible for Seon Woo’s death. The duo then scatter Seon Woo’s ashes at sea, paying their respects to the man who solved the Mujin serial killer mystery.During the investigation, Jong Bae reveals to Jang Yeol that his motive behind the murders was partly betrayal, but mostly he did it for fun. Jong Bae uses a last trick up his sleeve. He instigates Ye Bun and Jang Yeol by revealing that he’s kidnapped Ok Hee and dumped her in an undisclosed location. Ye Bun is unable to retrieve Ok Hee’s location from Jong Bae’s memories, and is cruelly teased by Jong Bae. Unwillingly, Ye Bun and Jang Yeol help Jong Bae escape from the police station. Jong Bae takes them to an unknown location, where the duo is blindsided by Jang Yeol’s nemesis. A bloodied Jang Yeol and Ye Bun manage to one-up his enemy. On the other hand, Jong Bae successfully escapes and attempts to escape to China on an illegal boat.While Jong Bae keeps Ok Hee’s whereabouts a secret by creating a blackout with his eyes closed, Ye Bun uses sound instead of sight to locate Ok Hee’s location, which is inside a hidden bunker. Ok Hee is rescued by her boyfriend, the police squad, and her “Eonni” squad. In a cat-and-mouse chase, Jang Yeol tries to trick Jong Bae, who uses his psychometric powers to find out the whereabouts of them both. Ye Bun, who goes on a killing spree, is tricked into believing that Jong Bae is one of the victims. Instead, Jong Bae kidnaps her. Jang Yeol catches up to the two, but Jong Bae has a knife held to Ye Bun’s throat. Using his “superpower,” Jang Yeol smartly stumps Jong Bae and pins him to the ground, thus capturing the serial killer for good. However, it’s not without Ye Bun hilariously poking him in the eye and taking a bite out of his head. Jang Yeol quips, “Stop eating him!”Most PopularAfter a successful investigation, Jang Yeol is called back to the Seoul Police Department. Before leaving, Jang Yeol meets an emotional Ye Bun and tells her to promise him to meet in Seoul once she’s acquired her dream of building another clinic. Eight months later, we see Ye Bun continuing to use her psychometric powers as a successful animal communicator, even going on a talk show hosted by Jang Do Yeon (in a cameo). In Seoul, a lovestruck Ye Bun (adorned in neon lipstick!) reunites with a busy Jang Yeol and somehow ends up doing an undercover operation for him in Seoul Prison. As a prisoner, she needs to look into the past of another inmate (Lee Jung Eun, in a cameo) to find out who the person behind a drug cartel is. When she comes close to trouble during a football match, Jang Yeol arrives just in time as Ye Bun’s knight-in-shining armour. The two then happily escape from prison together, hand-in-hand, but not before Jang Yeol asks Ye Bun out on a date. As for Ok Hee, she is going strong with her boyfriend. Unlike the unhappy ending in Twenty-Five Twenty-One, Jong Mook proposes to Ye Bun’s aunt Jung Hyeon Ok (Park Sung Yeon) and they find their happily ever after.While Behind Your Touch had its fair share of bloodcurdling moments, the fantasy crime comedy K-drama never lost its absurdist comedy charm. Major props can be given to Han Ji Min, Lee Min Kin, and Suho’s impressive performances, backed by quality storytelling. Until the very end, viewers are left at the edge of their seats, trying to uncover who the serial killer is, which is no easy feat to achieve.
