Recap Korean Drama "Kiss Sixth Sense" Episode 2

May 31, 2022

The sexual tension between Min-hu and Ye-sool was quite apparent from the last episode and this sixth sense just adds fuel to the fire. It seems like Min-hu saw something along similar veins as well and just asks Ye-sool to not dig too deep into it. He seems visibly annoyed and flustered and his ignoring the topic just makes him look as guilty.

I am unsure whether the series is trying to hide the fact that Min-hu might also have a sense of seeing the future (or keep it ambiguous), but it just seems somewhat apparent at this point. You sense the awkwardness and tension between the two the day after the fated kiss but it makes Ye-sool wonder whether it can come true, considering Min-hu had a scar in her vision that he doesn’t have now.

Min-hu’s powers, meanwhile, seem like are more following super hearing and sight? But apparently, kissing also has similar effects on him as Ye-sool. They don’t really specify his powers and I’m sure we’ll be able to see more of it later. Either way, Min-hu saves the day after the horrible shoot and promises to help Ye-sool with further work, going against his boss’s warnings. But, obviously, even when things go without a hitch, they don’t.

After a homeless man gets to the pop-up store venue and causes a ruckus, Min-hu gets hurt and ends up in the hospital, getting that scar on his back. Well, that just means that the future is coming to Ye-sool’s life sooner than she thought! As she goes to drop him home, it brings forth a wave of future events involving very steamy moments that leaves her shocked and confused.

Kiss Sixth Sense Review (Episodes 1 and 2)

Still From Kiss Sixth Sense

Kiss Sixth Sense, even though with an extremely interesting premise and a promise of more interesting things to come, doesn’t really leave much of an impact. I say this because the first two episodes are just filled with filler that is neither shocking nor humorous. The series’ attempt at humour is honestly annoying and the scenes that bring forth conflict feel forced and uninteresting. Like, take the homeless guy debacle for instance – it really feels a bit much and I think giving Min-hu a scar on his back could’ve been done in many other ways.

Either way, I liked the protagonists – Ye-sool and Min-hu’s chemistry and sexual tension is quite delicious to watch and promises more drama. I was more intrigued to find out about their physical ailments, which made me more concerned than the random bum who wants to sleep in a bed. I wonder why there wasn’t any security at the event? The office scenes, moreover, make up for a chunk of the runtime and almost all of the scenes revolve around the office. It makes sense since our protagonists are workaholics.

However, these scenes just feel a bit much after a point. With over 60-minute-long episodes, you want to watch something more interesting going on. Or maybe something else for a change. Additionally, Oh Ji-young’s character is just so annoying and feels so unnecessary that I couldn’t help but cringe every time she was on screen.

With a 12-episode runtime, airing two episodes every week, the series really needs to buck up if it wants to retain any interest in the content. The promise of steamy sex between the hot-and-cold work colleagues is hardly enough to do that!
