I loved how leads are so straightforward & honest with each other. They are both workaholics.
The way Cha Min Hoo moves away from Hong Ye Sul so that she can’t touch him while following him is funny. Afterward, her embarrassing reaction was cute.
Cha Min Hoo may seem rude towards Hong Ye Sul, but he has always been taking care of Hong Ye Sul. Helping her in every way possible, whether it is to help her walk in the dark, accompanying her in drinking, saving her from a fall, finding her in a distressed state. He is always there for her.
Surprisingly, Cha Min Hoo rather took Hong Ye Sul ability normally.
It's funny how at first Hong Ye Sul carried Cha Min Hoo to his house, then Cha Min Hoo carried Hong Ye Sul.
I find it quite funny how Cha Min Hoo keeps on analyzing what their future sex will be like.
The way Cha Min Hoo was so worried & upset that he would hurt Jackson in the future was hilarious.
Ban Ho Woo asked on her first meeting with Cha Min Hoo about how he likes it in bed, is he a good kisser? Then saying she could tell that he is a good kisser by looking at his lips was hilarious.
It’s so sweet how Cha Min Hoo installed a security system in Hong Ye Sul house.
How cute Hong Ye Sul asked Cha Min Hoo if he liked her or not & he replied yes in the middle of the conversation.
Laughed when Hong Ye Sul kept on asking questions of Cha Min Hoo from when he started liking her & called him a psychopath in the end.
Loved how in one breath Cha Min Hoo confessed that he likes Hong Ye Su.
Laughed when Lee Pil Yo asked if Cha Min Hoo would go out with him. Their drinking battle. Poor Hong Ye Su tolerated two drunk grown-up men.
Loved Cha Min Hoo & Lee Pil Yo bickering in Ep6.
Loved that bloom that Cha Min Hoo gave to Lee Pil Yo by saying that he was on a date with Hong Ye Su.
Loved how Hong Ye Su became too frank about her feelings towards Cha Min Hoo & kept on telling him.
Loved Oh Ji Young confessed to Lee Pil Yo. It was sweet.

If 'While You Were Sleeping' and 'Monthly Magazine Home' had a baby
Hong Ye Sool (Seo Ji Hye) can see the future when she kisses someone. It does not matter if her lips accidentally touches someone's hair, finger, etc., she will still "see" a glimpse of the future. During her company's outdoor project shoot, Ye Sool kissed Min Hoo (Yoon Kye Sang) because of some clumsy mistake.Kiss Sixth Sense started out as this typical office romance. It's light and cute.... However, Ye Sool started to annoy me as the story progressed. She believes on the accuracy of her visions as if everything she sees will eventually happen.
Then, her ex-boyfriend Lee Pil Yo wanted to reconcile with her even though he was clearly the aggrieved party. You see, back then, Ye Sool left Pil Yo because she saw him "cheating." Pil Yo denied this, and he assured Ye Sool of his love.
However, Ye Sool trusts her visions more than this guy that she has been seeing for years. My goodness, she has severe trust issues! She reasoned out that she saw him "having another woman's baby." *facepalm* So, she just left Pil Yo without any explanation. She just walked out of his life like their relationship did not even matter.
I get that Min Hoo (Yoon Kye Sang) is the main lead in this story, but Pil Yo is not even a bad guy! In fact, Pil Yo deserved a better treatment from Ye Sool. It feels like Pil Yo is getting punished instead of being consoled. She should be apologetic of her mistakes, but she did not.
I feel really bad for the second male lead, Pil Yo, because he seems to be a genuinely nice guy, and the female lead, Ye Sool, is the one who needs improvement. She destroys her relationships because she is too attached to the future she sees. Then, avoids it altogether.
Ye Sool needs to stop running away every time she sees a terrible future. Unfortunately, Pil Yo became a collateral damage because of this behavior of hers. The female lead should fix herself first. Change should start from within! SADLY, SHE IS THE PROBLEMATIC AND TOXIC CHARACTER IN THE STORY!
The last straw for me was Pil Yo got punished for something that did not happen yet. Plus, in Episode 8, there was a scene that disproved Ye Sool's claims of him cheating. For Pete's sake, Pil Yo was just carrying the baby. The baby daddy is another man! See, it really speaks volumes for me. Just because she "saw" something doesn't mean that it is 100% the TRUTH. Ye Sool should stop taking her visions too seriously and start living in the moment.

A good romance drama tripped up by its own tail
Putting aside the supernatural aspect of the meet-cute of this drama, the core premise of the office romance plot is tropey but nicely executed. The “abilities” of the leads are icing on the cake. The leads are well matched to their roles. Their visuals, acting and chemistry are very good. The romance is cute and passionate in equal parts and comes with nice amount of skinship.Let's be honest, the business and SF/ML subplot is meh. If they have focused completely on our OTP, it would have been even better. Alas, just when the show hits its stride and delivered us unto swoon heaven, the writer-nim went rouge.
It is true that the show always has a darker side, it won't be a k-drama otherwise. ;) It was hinted at many times and some traumatic event in the past was the likely trigger for their special abilities. For the longest time, it was low level stuff with just a hint of danger which is used to draw our CP closer together and move the plot along. Then it got dark, so very dark.
The Show decided that the only way to give closure to our CP is to retell their initial meeting and fateful parting 23 years ago. It is not unexpected, but it took a long time and a good part of that was already known or postulated. What is more problematic is that this segment contained more plot holes than the whole show up to that point. There is a fair bit of inconsistency judging from what was shown before and shown later. Even some dialogues between the actors are contradictory. I could have listed a page of them but I want to keep this relatively spoiler free. ;)
Adding to the problem is the way the Show portrayed the police. Their incompetence reached new heights in this show. It was baffling how the antagonist wasn’t caught in the first place and then managed to “hide” in plain sight for years. Again and again, the police are spoon fed relevant information but did very little which compounded the muddled narrative of the antagonist.
While the long recap is problematic, it was not the final nail. That honour goes to the last 20 minutes of the show. Did the production team review the script at all? It was a metaphoric train wreak that came out of nowhere. After we sat through the (literally) dark and gloomy recap and thought that we are back on track for some sweet CP moments, the Show went hyper! Yes, it was sort of funny for a moment but then it just escalated and escalated until I started to wince. So much bickering and shouting and for what?.
We also have closures of two side romantic subplots in the dying minutes. These were literally parachuted in with no warning or fanfare. Both romances were pushed aside by the evil plot and their conclusions felt contrived and rushed.
In the end, the show would have been better if it sticks to its core romance theme. Even though most of the subplots are weak and the support casts underutilised, they are harmless. Having said that, the Love Passionately for 7 days subplot is cute even though it did reminded me of Lovestruck in the City. ;)
The messy tail end was self inflicted and took a lot of the shine off a good romance. It is a real shame as the leads are well matched and the Show was on course for a satisfying finish. It is even more poignant when I recently read an interview of the ML where he said that he was so happy to be offered this script as he doesn’t have many opportunities to play a romantic lead at his age. Ouch!
OST is good and I’d have no problem re-watching the lead’s courting and romantic scene. Where is that YT cut?

Wasted potential
The main premise was good, that she was able to see the future. There is so much more that could have been done with that, for instance, trying to find out how she developed her 'power', trying to 'solve' the power, or more interestingly, trying to prevent an undesirable future from happening. However, the actual execution was a total disaster. There are way too many Kdrama tropes and plot holes to count.The first few episodes were so boring that I nearly gave up. However, after they got together, it was fun for a few episodes as it was funny and sweet as a rom com. The last 2 episodes were a disaster. Why did they suddenly need to insert a mystery? Surely they should have put far more clues and plot points in earlier episodes to suggest some mystery? It's as if the writers changed halfway or they suddenly wanted to improve their ratings.
The whole drama was Schizophrenic at best - romance, comedy, fantasy, mystery, and office drama. I'm only giving this an 8 because I enjoyed the middle episodes. Thank goodness this ended at 12 episodes. I would have given up at episode 4 if I wasn't a Disney Plus subscriber.

A strong start, A meh end!
I went in watching this show with zero expectations. I hadn't read the webtoon before so I was not as opposed or upset about the casting as I had seen people being, rather I thought the casting worked from the trailer and later on from how the drama played out.The show itself had me hooked from the first episode, and I'd binge-watch both the episodes as soon as they would come out, putting aside anything else I was doing at that moment. The story despite having one or two plot holes (nothing major) was strong throughout until it came to the last 2 episodes, I felt not only was the ending rushed a little but the last 15 to 20 minutes of the 12th episode were just dumb (for a lack of a better word) and not needed to be honest. I would have much preferred if they would have used that time to work on fixing the pacing of the ending and have it not be rushed as much. The main lead's personality changing completely, in the end, was also annoying, especially the male lead's personality!
Keeping aside these issues, the OST and main cast's acting was the highlight of the drama for me, and overall it has been quite a fun watch!

Believe it or notI really liked mature romance and adult love
This was ok Until their abilities disappeared
The story was fine till The first half of ep 12
It turned to be pure childish love
The way they were quarrelling with was extremely Annoying
They always threatening each other
Yelling and shouting while speaking
They even turned to be enemies in their attitude
Which was weird
Each couple had their own problems and differences,
but not with this annoying way
Always Saying: let's apart like adolescents
But much worse
I loved the second couple but they didn't have many scenes through the second half of the drama
They tried to put suspense during the drama
But something wasn't good
And I saw the chemistry between the main leads was lukewarm
Something was missing but I couldn't figure it out where the problem was ??

Started strong then downhill from there
I was looking forward to this series because I’m a fan of the ML and FL. I liked it fine for the first few episodes but then I began to lose interest and strongly considered stopping mid-way. I wish I would have now that I made it to the end. Their “abilities” wore thin and I really disliked everything about the final episode. I guess we were suppose to understand why they were behaving so badly around coworkers and toward each other but it was just cringe worthy to watch. Looking back on it, I really don’t understand why the actors chose to participate in this drama.Was this review helpful to you?

Io non sono un amante dell'elemento fantasy nei kdrama, ma a volte sono riusciti a farmelo piacere. Qui purtroppo non è così, perchè se parte bene con anche dei personaggi un po' fuori dalla classica comfort zone dei "bonazzi/e" di turno (cosa che ho apprezzato), nell'adare avanti sorgono delle dinamiche non poco credibili, peggio. Averci poi voluto infilare un super cattivo manco fossimo in un drama thriller dall'oggi al domani non è che sia stata sta genialata. A volte vorrei davvero capire come i creatori di drama possano sparare cazz*te simili. Mi dispiace proprio tanto per quest'opera, perchè tolto questo e altre cavolate sul finale poteva risultare un buon prodotto.

Très sympa malgré un épisode final inattendu
J'ai beaucoup aimé ce drama avec son mélange de fantastique, romance et de trame policière, même si celle-ci n'est vraiment mise en avant et exploitée que sur les derniers épisodes. Les acteurs sont biens et le milieu de la publicité vraiment intéressant.Par contre, j'ai vraiment été dedans et adoré, jusqu'au dernières 30 minutes où, pour ma part, je n'ai plus rien compris à ce drama et à cette fin qui me semble inintéressante et surtout inutile ? Pourquoi avoir fait ça ? Mystère, ça a cassé pour moi, toute l'atmosphère et la relation qui s'est mise en place durant tous les 11 épisodes d'avant. De fait, j'ai été surprise et particulièrement déçue. Mais, cela reste un drama à découvrir.

Il futuro è già scritto o è possibile cambiarlo?
Recensito da: Jade IG: _Dramalia_Il futuro è già scritto o è possibile cambiarlo?
Hong Ye-Sul se lo domanda spesso, specialmente quando le sue labbra toccano un'altra persona, poiché attraverso quel piccolo sfiorarsi di particelle, può scorgere il futuro. Non sa se avverrà tra pochi minuti, un anno o una vita, ma è lì che la guarda e non ha mai sbagliato. A parte questo piccolo potere che la limita nelle sue frequentazioni, Ye-Sul (Seo Ji-hye) è una donna in carriera che lavora per un'azienda di pubblicità piuttosto rinomata. Il suo capo però è un autentico despota, insopportabile e irascibile, è il tipo di uomo che suscita odio e ammirazione insieme. È un capo spietato, ma di quelli che non sbagliano mai e sembra Superman. I due hanno una relazione lavorativa complicata. Praticamente lei vive in ufficio e cerca di essere all'altezza delle spietate aspettative di Cha Min-Hoo (Yoon Kye-Sang), senza mai arrivarci neanche vicina. Un giorno i due sono sul set di una pubblicità di materassi, prontamente rovinata dalla pioggia e Ye-Sul inciampa, travolgendo l'integerrimo capo scontrandosi accidentalmente con le sue labbra. Nella visione scaturita vede chiaramente che un giorno, non si sa quando, finiranno a letto insieme. Ciò le provoca sentimenti contrastanti, un turbinio di turbamenti e pensieri alquanto sconci. Perde lentamente la sua professionalità distaccata, per diventare un completo disastro (evidentemente nella visione lui era particolarmente prestante sotto le lenzuola). Se prima non ci pensava neanche a Cha Min-Hoo, improvvisamente il suo mondo viene sconvolto. E lo è ancor di più quando decide di confessargli tutto, poteri compresi, e per dimostrarglielo predice il futuro. Solo che si vede felice, spensierata come mai prima e quelle immagini le scavano dentro più della notte di fuoco. Perché, a causa di quei poteri, Ye-Sul non è mai stata veramente felice. Ha sempre visto scenari di dolore e tristezza, di solitudine, specialmente col suo ex storico Lee Pil-Yo, regista di fama mondiale, interpretato da Kim Ji-Seok, ancora pazzamente innamorato di lei. Per togliersi il dente e non pensare più a Min-Hoo, lei decide di andarci a letto una volta, facendo così avverare il futuro, ma i sentimenti s'insinuano nelle pieghe della corazza di ferro del suo capo integerrimo e lentamente i due instaurano una strana relazione. Tutto ciò coadiuvato dal ritorno di Pil-Yo, intenzionato a riprendersi la sua ex, di cui ha sempre conosciuto il segreto. La componente fantasy di questo drama non è affatto finita qui, perché si aggiungono anche i poteri di Min-Hoo. Infatti l'uomo ha i sensi più sviluppati di chiunque al mondo. Riesce a sentire da chilometri di distanza e quando bacia una donna i suoi nervi vengono così sovraccaricati che finisce per svenire. Entrambi non hanno idea del perché abbiano sviluppato dei doni del genere, ma si fa cenno a un incidente misterioso che sembra accomunarli. Per non farsi mancare niente, si aggiunge anche un pazzo stalker, una cugina un po' fuori di testa, qualche amico simpatico, colleghi strampalati e una buona dose di risate. Ho apprezzato molto la trama scorrevole, divertente e mai banale che regala istanti di puro spasso quando quei due sono insieme e cercano di far funzionare una relazione basata su regole e contratti, tanto che consiglio vivamente la visione. Per chi non ama il fantasy, non preoccupatevi, non è invasivo, ma aiuta la storia d'amore a scorrere via con una facilità incredibile, senza appesantirla ma arricchendola di piccoli malintesi e misteri appassionanti. Sinceramente ho trovato anche gli attori bravi e assolutamente appropriati alla parte, con i protagonisti legati da una forte chimica non da trascurare. Ciò che però mi ha colpita maggiormente è stata proprio la domanda iniziale: il futuro è già stato scritto o siamo noi a determinarlo? Per Ye-Sul il futuro non si può cambiare, è lì che la guarda, pronto ad afferrarla se solo prova a modificarne la trama. Mi sono quindi chiesta che senso abbia per lei, che sa tutto, andare avanti con la vita e le relazioni. Non è inutile se poi non c'è niente che stupisce? Invece di cadere sul banale, il drama è riuscito a rispondere ai miei dubbi semplicemente cambiando prospettiva. Quello che lei poteva interpretare in un modo, spesso nella realtà dei fatti era completamente diverso, creando uno scenario nuovo e sorprendente, che ha messo in crisi anche i suoi poteri consolidati. Decisamente uno spunto interessante, anche se avrei apprezzato sicuramente una spiegazione meno banale per l'arrivo dei loro poteri che non fosse: “li ho avuti per ritrovarti”. Ok, certo...lo scopo della tua vita era solo quello? Ma su, forza, che noia! Voi sapete inoltre che non sono una fan dei due migliori amici dei protagonisti che finiscono insieme, ma qui è tutto gestito bene e le situazioni non appesantiscono diventando stucchevoli, anzi creano alcuni siparietti umoristici piuttosto spassosi.
