Disney+ K-drama Kiss Sixth Sense: fantasy workplace romcom starring Yoon Kye-sang and Seo Ji-hye hits all the wrong beats
- Seo Ji-hye plays Hong Ye-sul, a woman who can tell people’s futures if she kisses them, and Yoon Kye-sang plays Cha Min-hu, an ad executive and colleague
- Inevitably, their lips meet after a slow motion pratfall, and Hong ‘sees’ her and Cha in a future passionate embrace
Yoon Kye-sang and Seo Ji-hye headline fantasy workplace romcom Kiss Sixth Sense, based on a web novel of the same name. In this Korean drama from Disney+, Hong Ye-sul (Seo) navigates her job at an ad firm while dealing with an unusual ability: she can see someone’s future if any part of their body touches her lips.
Getting an insight into someone’s future may hold its advantages, but for Hong it’s wreaked havoc on her dating life. From the first kiss, she knows whether the person she’s locking lips with will do so with someone else in the future. After swearing off kissing and eventually boys all together, Hong became a focused career woman.
By the time we meet her, she’s a 10-year veteran at Zeu-Ad, an advertising firm where she has just been entrusted with her first assignment as a project manager. She is respected by all her colleagues, save for the suave and adored ad executive Cha Min-hu (Yoon), who manages to find fault with everything she does.
Late one night while setting up on location for a commercial shoot, Hong clumsily trips over a wire, triggering her third googly-eyed slow-mo pratfall of the opening episode. She crashes into Cha and sends them both onto the bed their ad is designed to sell.
Their lips accidentally touch and the unthinkable happens – Hong sees her locked in a torrid embrace with Cha as they fall into another bed in the future, in his apartment.
