Touch Your Heart hits a lot of high notes, as the name implies: touches the heartstrings, and hits a positive chord at the end of the score. However, pay attention too closely to the baseline and you'll note some dissonance in the harmony. I find myself torn between a highly likable show, including an variety of memorable sub-characters, set against feelings of disappointment around the ineptitude of the main heroine. At the end of the day, if you love Romantic Comedies and don't look to closely at the flaws, then you'll be delighted with this light and light-hearted drama.

I’d compare this to one of those timed cooking shows. For metaphorical purposes, let’s say the direction and challenge is to make a taco dish. Some chefs put all of their efforts into making a superb single flavored taco. While the more zealous of chefs try to impress the judges by making two different types of tacos, in the same allotted time. While it’s meant to impress, in more often than not reality, this actually gives the judges more options to taste and critique. This is how I feel about Touch Your Heart. I think this is why I found the show so dichotomous. You have excellent actors combined with poor character development, or rather, this is a romantic comedy, trying to disguise itself as a romantic drama. I’m expecting a good romcom taco, but I’m served two different drama tacos on the same plate. With the cute filters and sound effects in one scene, then turning to a stalker & drug abuse induced scene, then back to cute office antics, and then flash to tear-jerking courtroom circumstances, it's not hard to feel emotionally confused. While there is a lot to love in this show, there is also a lot to critique, especially when illuminate the reliance on outdated stereotypes (which I feel in this case is more due to the director and writers vs. the actor portrayal).
