Behind Your Touch Episode 7 Recap
Jang-yeol decides to meet Baek and deal with Seung-gil’s death. Ye-boon requests him not to leave as his wounds aren’t healed. When he resists her and gets inside the car, Ye-boon demands that she comes with him to Seoul. At Baek’s office, Jang-yeol starts thrashing him and Ye-boon stops him. She reads Baek’s memories and learns that he didn’t kill Seung-gil. Though Jang-yeol trusts Ye-boon he continues to hit Baek since it is because of him all the chaos started.
The cops arrive and arrest Jang-yeol as he was reported by Baek’s people. Ye-boon goes back to her home and low-key misses Jang-yeol. The next day when Jang-yeol is released he approaches Ye-boon and asks her to help find the one who killed Seung-gil. Ok-hee watches them two from a distance and feels hurt.
When they both visit the crime scene they try to find an animal to read the memories. Jang-yeol catches all the snakes at that place and asks Ye-boon to read. She pushes herself to do so and finds a memory where Seung-gil is seen getting stabbed by a person wearing a rain poncho.
The duo then proceed to the nearby store to ask the owner who bought a raincoat recently to which he replied that since it is a rainy season almost everyone has it. In fact, the duo spots Sun-woo wearing a similar rain poncho but before they can come to a conclusion they see every other person wearing one.

Back at home, when Ye-boon sees the knife her aunt uses to cut Kimchi she realises it is similar to that of the killer which she saw. She tells Jang-yeol about it but all the cops say that everyone in Mujin has this since it’s a familiar one. The next day, Ye-boon reads the memory of a dog (patient) and sees a woman’s corpse at the beach.
She immediately goes there to check it for herself and finds Sia’s corpse. The police arrive and they try to figure out who she is since the corpse has decomposed. After figuring out that is Sia’s, Jang-yeol starts his investigation. He contacts everyone she was last seen with to get a hint. However, he fails to get the lead. The police in fact question Assemblyman Cha as well but he gives a valuable answer and the cop leaves. But he tells his assistant to hush the media for it might damage his reputation.
Ye-boon tells Jang-yeol that she saw the cow owner Hwang-sik when she read his memories. Jang-yeol interrogates him but finds nothing. Mujin villagers decide to keep a meeting regarding a ritual for the village since too many crimes are happening. During the meeting, the assemblyman talks about how voting for him would help them. Sun-woo instantly asks whether he has only come for votes and Ye-boon’s grandfather defends Mr. Cha. The villagers then decide that they should hold a ritual to protect their village.
Meanwhile, Ok-hee asks Shaman General MacArthur for a talisman to stop two people from falling for each other. Though she keeps the bad luck talisman under Ye-boon’s pillow so that she won’t fall for Jang-yeol, she immediately removes it as she doesn’t want her best friend to endure bad luck. That night, when she throws both the bad luck and the destiny talisman, the bad luck one flies away and gets stuck in Da-eun’s brother’s car.
When he starts to get into bad luck, Ok-hee catches him. Surprisingly, the destiny talisman paper sticks to her, making her fall for him instantly. Da-eun’s brother and Ok-hee officially fall for each other head over heels. The next day, the ritual takes place and General MacArthur, the shaman conducts it.
Though he used to have powers, he currently is someone who fakes as a shaman. When Jang-yeol and Ye-boon visit the ritual to touch all the villagers’ backs, the shaman actually gets back his powers. Both Seung-gil and Sia’s souls possess the shaman and he starts talking like them to Jang-yeol. He says that the killer is right here before collapsing. All the villagers get scared and Jang-yeol becomes highly cautious.
Behind Your Touch Episode 7 Review
The episode was thrilling since all the villagers now know about the killer on the loose. Sun-woo is acting mysteriously because every time he looks at Mr. Cha, he gets furious. What past does he have with Mr. Cha and is the assemblyman the main villain? I don’t think Sun-woo is the serial killer. Either Ye-boon’s grandfather might be the killer or Mr. Cha and his assistant.
All the actors are doing a stunning job, especially Han Ji-min. She is too adorable and at the same time a genius. Though she likes Sun-woo, she can’t resist taking care of Jang-yeol. Jang-yeol also trusts Ye-boon the most, probably the first person he genuinely trusts. Their chemistry is insane and when they both catch feelings, it’s going to be amazing.
