Behind Your Touch Episode 6 Recap
The women of Mujin complain at the police station about their missing underwear. Apparently, a pervert on the loose goes around collecting women’s underwear, even of young teenagers. The police initially do not give this issue consideration before the complaints come in huge number. Meanwhile Jang-yeol’s Seoul colleague tells him about a recent murder of an escort linked to a criminal called Baek. We learn that Jang-yeol has been trying to arrest Baek but the officers don’t let him do so due to his power and lack of evidence.
Jang-yeol then takes Ye-boon to Seoul (the latter gets tricked and taken) to touch Baek’s back and learn his plans. Ye-boon finds that Baek has bought plenty of fishing boats. Jang-yeol points this to Baek and gives him a chilling message. Then when Jang-yeol leaves, Baek calls a young boy and asks him to kill Jang-yeol and he simply frowns.
Later when Ye-boon visits Gwang-sik, he tells her that their power can leave them anytime so it’s wise to make use of it, especially in dating. Then, Ye-boon goes to the convenience store to try her power on Sun-woo but fails. That night, the cops pull a nighter to find the underwear thief. They successfully come across him leaving only Jang-yeol to chase him. Somehow the thief escapes after attacking Jang-yeol.
Jang-yeol then commands his colleagues to work another night to catch the thief and they come across him as expected. But Jang-yeol gets attacked by him once more. To make things easier for Jang-yeol, Ok-hee arranges her girls and Da-eun’s brother, to work on their running skills. During the test, Da-eun’s brother makes the cut and so he gets recruited for the mission Ok-hee prepares.

Meanwhile, Jang-yeol asks Ye-boon to touch his back and find the criminal. He commands her to not read any other memory of his except this. However, Ye-boon reads some important memory of Jang-yeol, where she sees the cop celebrating a young man, Seung-gil’s birthday every year. We learn that Seung-gil has betrayed Jang-yeol by joining with Baek. Jang-yeol snaps Ye-boon and asks about the culprit. She once again touches his back to read it.
She surprisingly finds who the thief is since he’s come to her hospital. The chase begins and Da-eun’s brother catches the thief. However, during the chase, Jang-yeol goes to an isolated place where he finds Seung-gil. Ye-boon, who was following Jang-yeol, watches him getting stabbed by Seung-gil. She immediately helps him and admits him to the hospital. As per his request, she doesn’t reveal about Seung-gil to the police.
The next day, most of the Mujin neighbours visit Jang-yeol and wish him recovery. When Sun-woo accurately talks about his spleen area, Jang-yeol finds him suspicious. In the evening, Seung-gil visits the hospital and encounters Ye-boon. She learns through his memories that he purposely stabbed in Jang-yeol’s spleen area knowing it won’t affect him.
Ye-boon goes to Jang-yeol’s room and explains about Seung-gil and his purpose behind the betrayal. She talks about how Baek has threatened Seung-gil but the latter has simply tried to save him. When Jang-yeol argues with Ye-boon about forgiving the young guy, Seung-gil enters the room severely injured. He apologises to Jang-yeol and tries to say something. Ye-boon touches his back to know what happened. But before she could get to that part, Seung-gil passes away, leaving Jang-yeol shattered.
Behind Your Touch Episode 6 Review
The episode is super hilarious because of the odd underwear case. The scene where Jang-yeol loses his patience and commands his senior officers was peak comedy. Additionally, the romance between Jang-mook and Ye-boon’s aunt is so annoyingly wonderful. The combo of Jang-yeol and Ye-boon is starting to feel powerful, because during their journey of solving cases, they unconsciously vibe and care about each other.
Finally, Ye-boon has started to slowly understand that there is another side to the cold Jang-yeol. Jang-yeol also seems to be getting quite mad at her yapping around Sun-woo. Though he looks unbother, he lowkey finds Sun-woo and Ye-boon being together quite rancid.
Moreover this episode offered us a hint that Jang-yeol is hereafter going to watch Sun-woo since he is quite mysterious and looks like he is hiding something. Sun-woo definitely has come to Mujin for some revenge and we will soon know about it.
