This is your classic setup for rom com heaven. And these two actors as we know have super chemistry so really who cares how they meet or why?! Them it gets unexpectedly deep! Our lawyer finds that his actress secretary is unexpectedly different from his expectations and his said actress finds this lawyer not nearly as cold-hearted as he appears. As they work together we get to experience what it means to be a lawyer and a lawyer's secretary through a major case and a couple small cases. Allowing these two to get to know one another without anyone interfering.

Let's be frank... this is a rom com, its sweet, touching, funny with a dramatic ending that makes our couple fight just enough to earn their happiness in the end.

The thing is after the basic premise is setup and we believe we understand that this will be fluffy, cute and funny but not overly unique we find these well-rounded individuals that are both more lonely and unexpected than they appear. YES, this is a rom com but its between two people that we can relate to and root for. And we get this super neat, uncomplicated romance. A real rarity in drama-land we know that they are living in a bubble that has to burst but like Yoon-seo and Jung-rok we want it to last as long as possible.

I really related to Yoon-seo's extreme fear when her past comes back to haunt her. And when the worst happens I totally loved how Jung-rok handles things. While their troubles aren't over at this point you can't help loving the respectful and yet manly way that our lawyer went about treating Yoon-seo. This is one time when the noble idiocy really worked for me and I felt like it was something he really would have done.

The action was clumped around the middle and the end. It was exciting and perfectly in sync with their relationship but I would have liked there to be a touch more action throughout each episode. Despite this I did feel like the pacing in Touch Your Heart was really great. There were no slow moments or lingering for too long on things that we know are going to pass.

There is this one moment when Yoon-seo is so upset at what happened to Jung-rok that my heart just melted! I totally forgot this is a k-drama and felt like she really cares for our lawyer. And another moment when Jung-rok is so full of outrage at seeing Yoon-seo shake in fear, awwww I just couldn't handle it! So while the action wasn't consistent it was built into the story where it worked the best for maximum feels.

Touch Your Heart is a special rom com that uses the star acting chops of Yoo In-na and Lee Dong-wook to give us a lonely couple who find love for the first time. The crew at the Always Law Firm makes the journey funny and the cases add just the right drama. You'll be tickled you watched this and got to see their explosive chemistry.
