Yes, this drama is cliche (cold, arrogant male falling in love with his secretary), but that did not ruin my views on the drama. To be honest, I was skeptical about watching this drama, but I'm glad I did. This drama is tagged as law, but it doesn't focus that much on it. There are actually kisses (that happen several times, not just once). The drama is well paced; with very episode you learn something that you didn't know in the previous episode. The romance is sweet and refreshing and I enjoyed it very much.One thing I was not satisfied with that the ML broke up with the FL because the FL was going to become famous again. Why is the fact the a celebrity is dating someone so scandalous, especially in China and Korea? Done't worry, they get back together soon.
The cast is well put together. I watched a few episodes of Goblin and the leads in this drama are a side couple there. Oh Jung Se (who's casted as CEO of Always Law Firm) is Moon Sang Tae in It's Okay Not To Be Okay. I really enjoyed It's Okay Not To Be Okay (even more than this one!). Oh Eui Shik (who's casted as the FL's manager) did a great job in True Beauty as well.
I would watch this again. If you are reading reviews asking yourself if you should watch this or not, yes! Of course, this is not the best drama, but it never hurts to try. If you decide that this drama is not your cup of tea, some really great k dramas (that I feel are better than this one, in the order of my favorites) are Mr. Queen, It's Okay Not To Be Okay, Hotel Del Luna, Tale of the Nine Tailed, and Crash Landing On You.

Don’t trust the low ratings here! Go watch the show! It is really good!
I am really surprised to see such low ratings for this show here. On VIKI it has more true ratings at 9.6/10. Trust me these ratings here do it NO justice!! Just watch it it is worth it!This show was really good and heartwarming. It made me laugh and cry. I thought the acting was perfect and the story was simple and was told just right. If you are looking for something action packed this is not it. Instead it is a good and simple story. Reminds me of a Hallmark show but this one is WAY, WAY, WAY better!
I had to download the soundtrack on Amazon. It is also good!
I love both the actor/actress. I have seen them in other shows that are also really good. They were a perfect fit and loved to watch their love slowly build. A great watch. Don’t trust the ratings here!😉

You should watch this one. (it’s a feel-good one)
You would recommend this to others. (maybe)
You could watch this again. (maybe not)
This is such a sweet and refreshing story., The purity and chemistry between the two lead characters is just too adorable. You can’t help falling in love with them. Their innocent banter just endears them to you. The supporting cast is just too funny, especially Yoon Hyuk and Moon Hee. Loved the over-exaggeration of their characters. The last 2 episodes seemed rushed and I wish the end wouldn’t be so abrupt (one does expect a better finale to such a love). If you want to watch a feel-good drama with not much of an expectation then do watch this light-hearted one.

The main plot, although well-written, is nothing original, it has elements of a Pride and Prejudice story. Our leads, who are polar opposites, start off with really bad first impressions of each other but then gradually fall in love as they discover more about each other. What really carries this series is the fantastic chemistry between our leads as well as all the subplots from the side characters and law cases. Their romance has a very sweet and innocent quality to it especially considering they are in their late 20's to 30's. Those who like more mature and heavy romances or more complicated mysteries might not enjoy this but if you want something light to cheer you up and make you laugh, this is a great try.

The Good:The casting for this drama was simply amazing and wonderful. I, especially, enjoyed the naivety that the male lead has (making it more adorable and squeal-worthy) as well as the positive attitude that Yoo In-Na has throughout the whole drama. Many people would comment within the first few episodes that she was annoying and ditsy. However, I thought it was smart to portray her like that from the start. From then on, we can slowly see her character develop from a girl who was easily tricked and inexperienced at everything turn into an actual reliable secretary. The same goes for Lee Dong-Wook, he seemed to be very pricky and biased against Yoo In-Na and had thick ice walls surrounding him. As the drama continues on, we can see how he is smiling more and being more experienced in the field of romance. The sound effects furing the humourous scenes was a great additional plus!
The Bad:
One thing that really bothered me was the fact that we never actually got to see how everything with the Lee Jang-Hoon was resolved. It just seemed that it was really abrupt how it all ended. It did not provide me with a sense of resolution. It felt like, "We have video evidence. Arrest this guy who has basically ruined Yoo In-Na's life and he is never to be spoken of again." That bothers me a lot especially when Yoo In-Na has stated that she was a client and she would like to press charges. I thought it would turn into another case where Yoo In-Na would be able to testify and finally work out all the rumours that have led up to her not receiving any jobs for the past five years. However, that seems to be have resolved all it by itself with help from media. There is also a lot of plot holes that need to be filled.
Overall, this drama is generally light-hearted and is a huge fluffball of romance. I really enjoyed how every actor/actresses have amazing chemistry and relationships with one another. If you are looking for something with an actual storyline, this might not be the best drama to watch. Just a small warning: there will also be times where you would need to fast forward because the plot is being dragged out a little too long.

Maybe it's because I've been stuck in the Thai BL world after Chinese Dramas broke my heart about three years ago, but I've been sleeping on these dramas. This one, the title sounded a little weird but someone recommended it for me and I have to say, great rec. Over the last week or so, I've been catching up on Korean romance dramas and I have to say I'm in heaven. TOUCH YOUR HEART was so good. It had hints of mystery tossed in for a little fun, romance, sensuality--so good.
The female lead - top notch! Loved her personality. Love her spirit, her swag. She was an airhead but it's the kind that is only an airhead when she has to be but not in ever situation. She was light and loving and kind and all the good things.
The male lead - omg. So handsome, and alpha yet sweet - these are the kind of men I usually aim to write. Lee Dong Wook, I am ashamed to say I didn't recognize him until the last five episode. Now, as punishment (lol) I am going to dig to find other dramas with him because I love him. I'm even going to rewatch Goblin.
The character he plays has this air of innocent masculinity to him--you know, the kind of man we all dream of before the toxicity hits. And Lee Dong Wook was perfect in this. The emotions, and the laughter and the friendships!
Let's talk secondary characters for a bit - Love them all. I felt bad for Doo Sub though. He deserved to be happy too. The way that whole story ended for him broke my heart. I wish so much he could get his happy ending too because he's such a sweetheart.
Okay, the music in this was amazing. I know I heard Chen (from Exo) in there. It was romantic and soothing and all the beautiful things!!
There were a few times it dragged a little. But nothing that can't be overlooked.
If you guys know of anymore dramas like this one, send them my way. I will take all the happy endings!
Watch this and if you've seen it already, watch it again! I've been going through writer's block lately and this helped so much more toward being unblocked.
넌 할 수있어 !!!

Fluffy cliché
Plot: I loved the pace and how the story progressed. I just didn’t like the ‘let’s break up for your happiness’ trope and the humor was kinda dry. However, it was sweet, pure and cute.Acting: Main leads were good, not top tier acting but very convincing most of the time. Struggled with the female prosecutor at first but her acting got better. The rest of the side characters did okay but their stories weren’t interesting enough for me. Female murder suspect was really good though. Despite the short screen time, Park Soo Myung did great as well.
Music: ahh, all songs are really nice. ‘Make it count’ is my new favorite.
Rewatch value: The thing is, the drama was good but not good enough for me to watch it again. It was like, ‘It was nice knowing you but that’s the end of it’ type of story.
Overall: 6.5-7. Good plot but not a strong one. Humor felt flat but the drama was saved by the interesting pace of the story and cute interactions of the main leads. It was sweet & conservative.

A piece of jewelry rom-com. If you like Korean rom-coms, you'll love this!
I started without too many expectations. Of course, the lead female is sweet and really beautiful, but there was no chemistry with my style. Slowly I got into the atmosphere, but what really motivated me is the genuinity of the characters. They behave as they should behave. I didn't expect that In-na will be like her the entire series, but she is!! There are no shenanigans, no Deus Ex Machina scenes, she, who looks like a pretty minimum intelligence failed actress, will not solve the mystery of the universe or whatever, but she is sweet, candid, feelings smart (this is s one of the most important of the ten types of intelligence), and very very consistent. The same for the lead actor. The ending is also very pleasant, straightforward and consistent. Oh well, k-dramas (comedies) must have clowns, that, of course, are present here as well, however Yoo In-na and Lee Dong-wook offered me a great time. I strongly recommend it!! If you loved it, please try True to Love, which is also a piece of jewelry.Was this review helpful to you?
i initially started this drama because i've :
a) developed a giant obsession with lee dong wook and am binging all of his filmography works
b) been emotionally scarred by sunny and grim reaper
❤ s t o r y :
i'd call this a lighthearted show for the most part (i was actually really sad when the climax/falling action part of the story came up but nvm that) the story keeps a steady amount of fluff all throughout the episodes. i also had to pause and take a deep breath for a few scenes because it's filled with that awkward humor excellence we all love.
i really liked the dynamic between the leads and i also liked the romance/crime mystery sub plots between the background characters.
❤ a c t i n g / c a s t :
ahhhh this was probably the best part of TYH. seeing the loml aka lee dong wook and yoo in na on screen together was amazing since they already had chemistry built up (the ship moments legit made me blush) the acting wasn't forced and i didn't get those cringing vibes you get in some dramas. i liked dan mon hee and i thought she was adorable. i think they chose a really great cast and i couldn't imagine anyone else playing these parts. i hope to see more of this cast together in the future.
❤ m u s i c :
i struggled a lot on how to rate the music. in the end, i gave it a 6 because it's not really one of those iconic OST's that stay forever remembered BUT this type of music is generally what i enjoy listening to. chill and laid back music with it's own type of aestheticy music you'd find in the start of a bad teen movie. my favorite songs are probably
wendy - what if love and j rabbit - oh? truly!
❤ !! s p o i l e r a r e a !! (the little details i enjoyed)
a) ''keep your hands off my woman''. i fckn LOST IT
b) the manager can rot in hell i literally hated him all the way through
c) jung-rok only drinking instant sweet coffee and smelling it agressively - a mood
d) eun ji and office manager lee deserved!!! the world!!! i'm still salty about them not being together. he was so sweet and PoEtIC and ahhhh the bus scenes ohmalord.
--
i look forward to forgetting the plot after a few years and rewatching it again (sounds weird but rewatching old dramas is what i thrive on) i'd suggest this drama to anyone who is looking for a laid back and immersive drama that's hilarious and full of ship moments.

And I'm glad I did because this drama is soooo incredibly cute. The romance is sweet and adorable. I definitely ate it up just like when watching Shopping King Louie and Her Private Life. Touch Your Heart is loads of fluff and good feelings, which can definitely be what many of you need when in the right mood. There's no in-depth "larger-than-you" plot/villains, but the love story is pure and innocent.
The actors are adorable and suit/compliment each other very well. I found the MCs to be great for each other, but I also really liked Lawyer Dan and Lawyer Choi's relationship - it was sooo cute, humorous, and slightly cringey (a perfect balance of exaggerated comedy!).
Aside from the easy, cute plot, I really adored the OST. As mentioned above, Make It Count by Chen and What If Love by Wendy were AHMAZING soundtracks; they'll get stuck in your head in a heartbeat and you won't be able to help but hum along. All the other soundtracks were great and blended/balanced each other well.
I probably won't rewatch this drama in its entirety, but I will definitely watch clips and OST MVs, which is just enough sweetness to remind me of the happy feelings this drama invoked. Happy watching!

Decent drama with the most non charismatic male lead ever
The FL of this show is what saved this pretty average drama.The story is OK and felt like it dragged on forever. Like many said, you need to try and push through it specially the middle of the show.
There isn't really any plot really. There's some side or attempted of court drama but usually it ended within the next scene.
The ML like holy crap. Good thing, this is fantasy or kdrama there's no way this beautiful woman or any women for that matter would fall for this guy.
He's just bland, he's not funny, he came across way too awkward in most scenes not sure what they were going here but it didn't work
There's no chemistry between him and the female lead.
She's very fun, funny, outgoing, always trying her best to make him laugh or trying to get his attention but my dude was just miscast. I'm sure they were going for the all serious and no nonsense type of lead but he came across to me as just the most lame and boring. She needed someone who can bounce back off her and he wasn't that.
It is super unrealistic that the FL( a successful actress in the show that is that's what she's playing) would ever fall for that dude.
I think the drama was really boring at times and no plot.
The Last 3 episodes felt like they ran out of stories but since they had to get 16 episodes out so they had to add 3 more episodes.
Really this show definitely overstayed its welcome.
8/10 since I liked the FL and the show started so fun and charming
