Series Brief

Overview

Hong Ye-sul, a competent account executive at an advertising company, has one secret— she can see the future when her lips come into contact with another person. When Ye-sul accidentally kisses her stern team chief Cha Min-hu, she sees the impossible: herself in bed with him some time in the future.

Critical Reception

What critics are saying

Score 62 /100

Critical reaction to Kiss Sixth Sense was decidedly mixed, with reviewers split between praising its playful adult charm and criticizing its narrative missteps. Early episodes garnered enthusiasm for blending office rom-com tropes with fantasy and mystery elements. Reviewers praised the strong lead chemistry, noting that the show successfully balanced humor, sex appeal, and wholesome romantic beats.

However, the show faced notable criticism for its storytelling execution and tropes. Some reviewers found the romantic setup to be predictable and burdened by toe-curling cheesiness. Additionally, concerns were raised regarding the portrayal of romantic relationships, with critiques pointing out that the show glorified unhealthy power dynamics within both personal lives and the workplace.

As the series progressed toward its conclusion, reception waned among several recappers and critics. While the early episodes had strong momentum, the latter half was described by some as fluffy, inconsistent, and ultimately disappointing, leaving the final stretch feeling like a letdown compared to its promising start.

“equal parts hilarious and sexy”

“a fantasy rom-com with some mystery thriller thrown in on the side”
