Great to begin with, poor ending
I don't usually write reviews, but I felt compelled to write this.
The story begins strong with an interesting idea of a psychometric who can see people's and animal's memories by touching their butts. It's funny and quirky and I liked the idea that the main character develops a relationship with the second male lead instead of main lead for a change.
Towards the final episodes, things change drastically - the second male lead dies, killed by the serial killer.
Bong Ye-bun is rightfully angry at Moon Jang-yeol for suspecting Kim Sun-woo as the killer, yet doesn't feel so traumatised a little while later. When her grandfather is murdered by the serial killer too, again, such a traumatic and horrible event yet Ye-bun doesn't show that much of an emotional reaction.
When the serial killer is found out to be the shaman and Ye-bun challenges him, then sees the memories by touching him and then her final chase with Jang-yeol at the end, they are all cracking jokes and Ye-bun appears to be childishly mocking the shaman as he runs away and gets captured.
Honestly this moment ruined everything - Not only did I hate the fact that Sun-woo got killed (to be fair he was the best character in this series, he was kind, had a strong sense of justice, and despite the fact they tried hard to make him feel and say things that make him sound like the killer, we as an audience were on Ye-bun's side throughout the story as she always stayed by his side.
It annoyed me sooo much tha Jang-yeol would just assume things about Sun-woo and stop Ye-bun from being around him.
If you like her why not tell her? But nah, he pretends he doesn't care about her for a long time. I guess that's what makes it part of the comedic part of the show, but it really annoyed me.
Also, it made sense for Sun-woo not to say anything about the shaman as he would feel not only in danger but if he showed the knife to the police it would have just added to the suspicion even more!
The entire arc of shaman being a serial killer, murdering several people including Ye-bun's grandfather and love Sun-woo seems to disappear instantly as Ye-bun constantly acts like a child (she is a 30 year old for goodness sake, and she has seen SOME STUFF. LIKE, SOME REALLY, DARK STUFF.
She literally lost her lover, her grandfather, and let's not forget that her MOTHER was killed by the National Assembly of Mujin City and WRITTEN OFF AS A SUICIDE?
She literally watched Sun-woo die (as she ran to the scene and through shaman's memories) and as I said already, her grandfather died, and she was also in danger. She never got to know her grandfather's parkinsons disease problem, and did not realise that her grandfather was trying to help her. She lived her whole life aliented from him in a sense, being ignored
Heck, she should be traumatised, AND ACT LIKE IT! Not go up to the serial killer and say stuff like , "omg im gonna catch you now, whacha gonna do?"
Then proceeds to go back to her job as a vet, happily ever after, and gives off the idea that she likes Jang-yeol now.
The show seemed to lack real emotion at the end, so I wouldn't recommend watching it, as sadly the end ruined all the good moments it had in the beginnign stages.
