Kiss Sixth Sense: Episodes 5-6

64 June 10, 2022June 10, 2022

by Dramaddictally

We’ve reached the half-way point of our story and the theme of fate versus free will is getting more complicated. While new backstory helps us understand our leads in the present, new kiss premonitions begin to guide not only their lips — but also their hearts.

EPISODES 5-6 WEECAP

We left off last week with a cliffhanger of Min-hu telling Ye-sool he has “one condition” that should be met before they sleep together. This week begins in the same scene, but we still don’t learn what that condition is right away. The conversation is interrupted by Ji-young and then, even after Min-hu shuttles her out of the building, it seems he loses his nerve to discuss it.

Back at home, this leads Ye-sool and Ho-woo to try to guess what the one condition is. Ho-woo thinks Min-hu might have an S&M fetish, which causes Ye-sool to have a drawn-out fantasy about Min-hu asking her to role-play and sign a slave contract (lol I’m crying).

At work the next day, Ye-sool tells Min-hu that the only reason she wants to sleep with him is because she saw it happening in the future. Now, whenever she sees him, she can’t concentrate. She thinks that once they get it out of the way, she will feel more at ease. Min-hu offers again to do it that night at his house so they can get back to feeling comfortable around each other (uh, yeah, no problems with this plan).

That night, though, rather than actually getting to it, they do a staged run-through of the big event, with Min-hu asking for a play-by-play of the moves. Min-hu is in disbelief that he would act the way Ye-sool is describing. For example, there is no way he would ignore it and keep kissing her after they break his potted plant — affectionately named Jackson, haha.

Further, Min-hu says he doesn’t sleep with women he’s not dating, and so, if Ye-sool wants to sleep with him, she should date him. That, it turns out, is his one condition. Huh? What the manipulation is going on right now? And why all the need to try to construct a future that is supposedly pre-determined? Complicated logic aside, after putting the idea of dating out there, it’s the thread that ties all the action together for the remainder of the episodes.

Ye-sool isn’t initially keen on dating Min-hu. To express this, she accepts Pil-yo’s three-date offer — while Min-hu is standing there to hear it. This escalates the developing rivalry between Min-hu and Pil-yo, and also allows us to get more insight into the Ye-sool/Pil-yo backstory.

On the first of their three dates, Ye-sool and Pil-yo go camping and, in a romantic setup, he shows her his lauded film. While he points out scenes based on their history together, it’s obvious that he still has genuine feelings for her and wants to know why they broke up back in college. In flashback, we find out that every time Ye-sool and Pil-yo kissed, she saw him in a future relationship with one of their classmates (having a baby and all). This led Ye-sool to pull away from him while simultaneously wanting to kiss him often in order to confirm whether or not the future had changed.

From Pil-yo’s perspective, Ye-sool’s actions were both hurtful and confusing (a quote from his movie poster reads, “I shed tears every time I kiss you.”) For me, this whole sequence is making Pil-yo very endearing after a flat start last week. It also explains Ye-sool’s experience much better. Even though Ye-sool thinks to herself that they broke up because they had a “miserable future together,” the reality is that her visions were causing them to suffer in the present. In that sense, her choice to break up is a practical issue, more than a matter of avoiding the future. With horrible visions disrupting intimacy, there was no way for her to be happy in their day-to-day life.

This backstory paints a powerful contrast to the visions she sees when she kisses Min-hu. When Ye-sool suddenly remembers the visions she had the night she drunkenly kissed Min-hu in the car, the scenes are filled with laughter and kisses. The two are clearly in a relationship — it’s not just a one-night stand, as she had assumed from her prior premonition. Ye-sool quickly realizes that it’s the first time she’s seen herself happy.

The question of happiness becomes central as every time Min-hu asks about Ye-sool’s visions of their future together he wants to know, “Are we happy?” While we know the answer, Ye-sool isn’t ready to admit it yet. She gets closer to her feelings, though, when her house is burglarized and Min-hu comes to the rescue. Afterward, he brings a crew to install surveillance cameras and it finally clicks for Ye-sool that he has consistently been trying to take care of her.

While Min-hu is explaining something technical about the surveillance system, Ye-sool asks if he likes her. He says, yes, and continues talking tech. It’s a sweet moment that seems to stun them both and they meet outside where Ye-sool has a million questions. When did he start liking her? And how could he yell at her at work if he likes her? (lol, this show doesn’t miss a beat with the jokes). He answers all of her questions matter-of-factly and asks when she is going to answer his.

But Pil-yo is there to hear everything and stop her from answering. The two men then have a showdown for Ye-sool’s feelings at a bar, where they trash-talk by using negative information they’ve heard about each other from Ye-sool over the years. It turns out neither holds their liquor well and both pass out trying to outdrink each other. With no one to drive Min-hu home, Ye-sool takes him to her place and dumps him on the couch (Piggyback Counter: 3).

When Min-hu wakes up drunk and flirty, many kisses occur and we get a shower of happy visions of their future together. The next night, he asks her again: are we happy? And she responds: should we date? (Yessss! Will these two get on with it already?! I’m biting my nails the tension is so high.)

Apart from the growing feelings between Min-hu and Ye-sool (which are oh-so-lovely to watch), one of the highlights this week is Pil-yo’s development as a character. I can feel how much he still cares about Ye-sool and how much pain he is holding in. I don’t want to see him and Ye-sool get back together, but I do want to see him heal and move on.

Also, giving him not one, but two rivalries this week adds depth to his storyline. His contentious moments with Min-hu are laugh-out-loud funny, but he also gets positioned opposite Ji-young. She goes out of her way to get the part in the new Mopix car commercial he’s directing (to be near Min-hu), but she’s all wrong for the concept he sketched of a 70-year-old man (ahaha). Since I find her so unpleasant, I’m hoping their rivalry will be satisfying to watch.

The other highlight is finally getting some questions answered about Min-hu’s past. He goes to visit his long-time doctor to discuss his changing symptoms — and the doctor is Ji-young’s dad. This explains how Ji-young knows all about his abilities (and can use that knowledge to blackmail him into not cutting her off completely). We find out that Min-hu was in an accident as a kid and when he woke up his five senses were heightened. Ji-young’s dad helped him learn to deal with the pain it causes him.

However, the doctor tells him that he can’t take the medications he’s on forever or it will cause brain dysfunction. He needs to try to get control over his senses on his own. Since his hearing is the strongest sense, he should aim to listen to sounds he wants to hear. We see this put into practice when Ye-sool gets switched to a different planning team after a photo of the new Mopix model is “accidentally” leaked. Someone has to take responsibility, and Ye-sool finds herself downstairs with Planning Team 2. Through the floor, Min-hu listens to Ye-sool crying and consoling herself.

An addendum on my favorite side couple: Ho-woo breaks up with Seung-taek when their seven days of dating are up. Both admit they like each other a lot, but that’s precisely the reason Ho-woo wants to break up — to end it on a high note.

However, they meet again when Seung-taek is greeting a new batch of medical students and Ho-woo is among them. (Was I not paying attention? When did they allude to her being a medical student?) Unfortunately for Seung-taek (who is beyond smitten), Ho-woo prefers if they act like they don’t know each other so she can focus on checking “doctor” off her bucket list. Well, I gotta love her for having big plans, but I also doubt she can resist Tae In-ho’s babyface for long.

Damn, I am loving this show so much. It’s hitting my buttons like MH pressing >||< in the elevator. Yes, I see the plot/logic holes. Yes, I see the implausibility of YS’s attraction to MH. Shut up, don’t talk to me, I don’t care, LALALA I can’t hear you.

Now that we know about MH’s superpowers, like his ability to hear conversations in other rooms, I’d guess that he has already overheard YS badmouthing him a couple of times in earlier episodes and that’s when he’s especially cold to her: shutting the elevator door in her face, giving her an excessive dressing-down, etc.

Of course YS should have developed a permanent loathing for any boss who treated her like that, particularly after he demotes her for someone else’s screw-up and doesn’t even look her in the eye. Grrr, what a jerk! She does administer some payback when instead of appealing her transfer, she tells MH with a straight face that he’s never been wrong in his decisions. The way his face falls at that shows that the knife has gone all the way in. He knows he’s betrayed her professionally and hurt her personally. And of course, he reacts by being harsh to her again - that’s how he defends himself against his feelings for her, but I think he’s also (still) trying to jolt her out of her fatalism.

But I darn near swooned after the ‘confirmation kisses’ when MH asks about the future she sees - not “do we keep sleeping together?” or “are we a couple?” but “are we happy?” He’s acutely aware of her unhappiness even as he’s been hiding his own. Awww, I really hope all these flash-forwards to playful kisses and smiles are not all we get. I want the full scenes, dammit!

Thanks, @dramaddictally! Wednesday, come faster!

It absolutely feels like a fanfiction AU someone would write of a regular office romcom. Or maybe a fantasy and/or sageuk drama.

It’s part of the appeal of the show for me too.

Unlike most awful drama-land bosses, Min-Hu is surprisingly not a jerk or an assh*le. And I say this, not because he is the ML.

So far, he's been shown to berate, school & coach everybody in his team- equally, and not just singularly pick-on Ye-Sul (which is a major red-flag in most 'domineering CEO' dramas).
His reason for being harsh in his critique of her performance has nothing to do with the fact that he likes her (outside of his office-life, as a woman). That also makes him more professional than those trash-bosses.
He genuinely believes it's to make her more responsible and prepare her for handling things on her own, one day. Which is what a good team-leader does. None of the 'I like you so I'm going to pull your pigtails' logic for him.
He doesn't go out of his way to be mean to her. His occasional childish antics is pretty fair since he most likely overhears her trash-talk most of the time.

Infact, as the senior-most member of the team, only 2nd to Min-Hu, Ye-Sul naturally has to step-up & shoulder the responsibility when things go south. Atleast that's how the work hierarchy works in design fields, mostly in Asia.
I fondly remember my apprenticeship Boss's line 'since I'm teaching you these basics, maybe you should pay me tuition instead of me paying you a salary/ stipend.' The higher-ups usually got an earful even when it was us newbies who messed up. Ah, good times! xD

Now contrast this to a genuine assh*le of a boss that Mi-Jung had, in My Liberation Notes, and you'll see the difference. Every time Mi-Jung calls her Boss 'this bastard', she means it. Just like the Boss means every single condescending insult & remark he makes of her appearance & lack of talent, while looking down on her as if she were an insect.

Ah, it wasn’t “someone else’s screw-up”, though. YS signed those terrifying papers at the car dealership, and she didn’t stop PY from taking those photos even though she certainly could have. That’s EXACTLY the sort of getting-pushed-around thing that got her into trouble on the bed commercial, when someone who should have been obeying her schedule/priorities rebelled. That’s also why PY is devastated - he knows exactly how much his moment of rulebreaking damaged her career.

Everyone is looking so serious in that boardroom because breach of a contract like that likely exposed the company to millions of dollars in damages. So getting pulled from the project? It’s actually kind of merciful, and probably the best that could be done for her. MH’s been going out on a limb for her a lot, though always in an appropriate mentorship way. He’s been doing TONS of behind-the-scenes work to support her. Allowing photos to be taken of an unreleased car an hour after signing language that explicitly forbade it? That is absolutely a firing offense, and she only got demoted.

Great points, and you and @chibi853 are right about the car photos. YS was partly at fault. I went back to the test drive in ep. 4 and she did ultimately play along with the illicit photoshoot. I was focused on the fact that PY completely wrongly took and shared the pix and then someone, probably the shithead production team chief, completely wrongly uploaded them and tipped off Mopix. With both the car and the bed commercial set-up, she tried to stop the men from breaking the rules and they rolled right over her. But what more could she have done? Physically restrained them? Sure, they should have been obeying her/the manual, but it's consistent with her long-term experience of both men - they belittle her concerns and then do whatever suits them. She has responsibility without authority, which is a frustratingly frequent situation for women in both real-life and kdrama workplaces.

I stand by my take that MH is sometimes a jerk as well as a mentor, though. He does literally go out of his way to be mean to her sometimes. He's a good boss in most ways, but a better boss (one without supernatural hearing, ha) would debrief her on the shortcomings in her first PM role calmly in the office the next day instead of jeering at her during her brief moment of satisfaction. He wouldn’t gratuitously tell her that he’d transfer her to the provinces when she’s trying to be professional about being demoted. He frequently kicks her when she’s down, and she’s not wrong to resent that.

Did I mention that I’m overinvested in this? 😆

Yeah, he’s not a particularly morale-boosting boss, I agree - though I’d prefer a harsh but fair boss who has my back with others to a boss who is nice to my face and manipulative behind my back.

“But what more could she have done? Physically restrained them?” Yup, that’s exactly what she should have done. Snatched his camera, plastered herself across the car, done everything possible to stop the car from being uncovered or the photos from being taken. Ask to see the photos and then eat the photo card when his guard is down. Call legal at the agency and on speakerphone loudly ask about penalties… While lying across the hood of the car.

I’m quite serious - this is MILLIONS of dollars of risk exposure and her name’s on the contract. This was an absolutely clear-cut case of PY taking an action he knew to be contractually forbidden that could result in her losing her job, likely her career in that field, and also be directly liable for damages if the company decided to hang her out to dry. With the creative director there’s a little more leeway, as he ignored her but she could also show documentation that she’d tried heroically to get him to do his job and he’d been unprofessional. Here? Not anywhere near as excusable. Legal contract, third party director, and she’s onsite with him when it happens. Every red flag in the WORLD!

I feel like the show tries to have it both ways too much with MH's character. Mean rom-com boss who is actually nice is a popular trope, but I feel like since Ye-sul's mood is often quite solemn and she's sacrificing her health for work, it makes it feel like he's kicking her when she's down. Like if he was scolding Hwang Bora's character, you would be like "LOL, CMH, good luck!"

Haha, I acknowledge his character weaknesses, and those as a mentor/ team-leader. I'm not dying to have him as my Boss, ever. Or belong to his team. People with a permanently sour mood terrify me. And Min-Hu does have a mood problem, to say the least.
But I still stand by the fact that he's more professional than any of the 'overbearing CEO' dramas! xD

Miranda, I finally registered for Dramabeans just so that I could give you an upvote for your comment.
“Ah, it wasn’t “someone else’s screw-up”, though. YS signed those terrifying papers at the car dealership, and she didn’t stop PY from taking those photos even though she certainly could have. ”

THIS. Although the viewer knows these scenes were there to provide a major plot twist in the future, I had to swallow hard watching a professional woman be intimidated like this – especially since this was after Minhoo counseled her that she needed to be able to stand up and not be intimated by others.

I love this drama and the main leads but so far Yesool is portrayed as emotionally weak due to her “special power”; perhaps her story arc will be one of conquering/managing her power. Certainly Minhoo’s story is leading in that direction (managing HIS special power).
Both of their powers manifested as children as the result of traumatic events. Lots of clues in the title sequence and opening dream sequence that foreshadow that they were connected as children and perhaps a shared childhood trauma. I am totally invested in this journey, but I still wish Yesool (in her ‘30s?) was portrayed as a stronger woman.

June 11, 2022 at 9:01 PM

It’s not feasible to show, but it does make you wonder how her future-glimpses impact her decision-making in really small ways. If at any time she got a glimpse of being employed at the same agency past the date of the car photo-taking, that could have impacted her decision not to stop PY. After all, why make a huge fuss if it all works out regardless? And then when it DOES leak, does she just roll with it because again - she knows that sometime in future she’ll be smiling at the launch party as a team member?

If I constantly got flashes of my future I’m sure it would change my behavior, not just in terms of arranging to sleep with my boss but also smaller things like worry about an overdue bill, or avoiding a stairwell on rainy days where I’ve seen myself slip. And after decades of that superpower, YS likely behaves in ways the rest of us would consider bizarre, based on internal knowledge that shadows her every instinct.

Weird to think about! But I don’t think the show will dive deeply into it, too convoluted.

You're forgetting one of the time rules, you can't stop the future from happening, even if you change your behaviour. But you can only ~~change avoid~~ walk around it, or prepare a backup plan.

If I foresaw Pilyu's behavior with the car I would definitely stop it, even though I do not need a premonition to know what to do. Ye-sool does not have the authority required to pull her responsibility, something she has to grow just as she grew to be responsible. Both should happen simultaneously on normal grounds, so I don't understand why she gives the pushover vibe.

June 11, 2022 at 3:07 PM

It seemed like it was one of those contract rules that get broken a lot in the industry, according to one of the staff members, but it never blows up because the marketing firm and directors know to keep it secure considering that a slip-up can end up with an entire marketing company to come crumbling down. It also doesn't help that there is a malicious production team leader involved...someone that I'm surprised has not been fired or demoted. YS got off easy considering that as PM she has to take responsibility of other people's mistakes. But I would like to see her as PM for a project where there isn't a huge screw-up.

I hope the leak storyline surfaces again later. This isn’t one of those things that just gets fixed, and hopefully both MH and PY are seriously invested in running down the source of the leak. The creative director seems sly, but sloppy - if he’s the leaker he may avoid a generic investigation that’s mostly focused on minimizing agency risk and exposure, but not one where someone’s motivated to find the actual bad actor and ensure that any blame that could hit YS in future would land on the proper party.

Legally, the car company’s got a grenade in its hand it could arm and fling at YS at any time. If the leaker leaks again, YS would be in a lot of danger.

I thought it was clear from the episode that MH and his boss know that the leak was directed at Minhoo, not YS. By sending her to another team, MH is protecting her. It's also going to be an opportunity for her to shine - Team Leader 2 doesn't seem very competent. AND, the leaker will probably try to attack MH again - they're setting up a trap. Or, at least, that's how I viewed it.

I had totally forgot this is a 12 episode drama till your heads-up again.

No one was at fault. At least Pilyu wasn't ruined. I hope she answers his question so he can find closure in due time.

It was torture being with Pilyu. I'd draw back if I was in the same situation, talk of a mixture of pain and pleasure cooked, dished, and eaten exactly simultaneously.

While last week was about 'free will vs. fate'; this week's theme seemed to be about 'the one'.
What do you do when the person you're currently with, doesn't belong in your future? That you do not belong in theirs, as well? I think there's no coming back from *those* visions esp, cuz in them, he's somebody' else's husband, and a father to a baby that's not yours. Ugh, absolutely heartbreaking. </3
Why waste their time, if it's not meant to be, eh?
I find it wise, mature & accepting of Ye-Sul to sever tie with Pil-yo, as brutally as she does. We know, she was very much in love with him.

And yet, this woman, with years of defensive conditioning against heartbreaks, sees a happy vision of herself with somebody... is the first person to deny them, deny herself the happiness & perhaps even believing she is un-worthy of love, or a future where she's genuinely happy & in love. That somebody loves her, is with her, and that she can continue to be with them must be such a difficult idea of herself to wrap her head around. My heart goes out to poor Ye-Sul.

The sweet moments continued to be sweet (the confession, be honest.. how many of us broke the replay button?) :P
The revenge of the piggy-back goes on, and the FSoG parody ended me! While the couch-kisses were yes, hot... but I couldn't help but think of them as tinged with some bittersweet. You could see how Ye-Sul is so starved of physical intimacy as she goes in for seconds and thirds. And you could see how Min-Hu is so sick of pretending he doesn't feel anything for this woman trying to devour him whole. </3

6SS has me by the heart. I'll be back to watch more of this electrifying chemistry! ^^

MH must also be starved for affection and contact and any sort of pleasure in his life. He only has one friend, he’s constantly having to fend off Ji-young because it hurts when she touches him (and she’s irritating as f*ck), he can’t socialize much with his colleagues, and he’s yearning for a woman who thinks he hates her and who often expresses fear and dislike of him. And oh, poor YS! Between her painful visions and her job, she’s had all the hope and joy beaten out of her. MH was there when she broke up with PY and said she’d never date again, just concentrate on work. He protested, but then spent the next three years observing her doing just that. I don’t know how MH has video of little YS 🙄, but in my head, when he’s looking at it, he’s wondering when he last saw her smile.

Gah, this show, my heart! I'm absurdly invested in this. The ep. 7 preview does not show the action I want, dammit. Can't they just get on with it?!?

Look at us being Aunties and telling the newlyweds to get it on! xD xD

It completely went off my mind, that the 'special talent' that they both have, is a two-way street. It's as much of a curse for him, as it is for her. Thanks for bringing that into perspective.
I think I swooned for Min-Hu a little, when he implied that even if he didn't like her romantically earlier, he'd have been as harsh with his critique of her, because he wants to see her succeed as a professional, prolly even take up his mantle in the future. That was so immensely... respectful. They have a bond transcends romance, and no, I do not mean the dreaded childhood-connection! :P

Ahhhh! T_T Gosh, that couch-kiss must have been so cathartic for Min-Hu!!!!! Thanks for reminding me, and putting me on this chain of thoughts. The writer knows what she's doing! <3 Now that I think about it, I've only seen him scowling, frowning, being frustrated at the team's errors, mildly irritated at the friend & super-irritated at Jiyoung. We have never seen him happy. Smiling. Beaming. Content. And in love. Till Ye-Sul's vision happened. </3 </3

Gosh. These two are so perfect!

YS's father was responsible for the first Zelus car commercial - that's why she has always wanted to work on the MOPIX account. I imagine she is the little girl on the rooftop billboard - when the Zelus model was first introduced as a "family" car. The camping scenes of her and Mom the Painter might have been from original commercial outtakes?? At one point, Yesool was looking for the original Zelus campaign/commercial archives - when the power went off.

I'm staying purposely ignorant of the webtoon because I prefer my own wild speculations to potential spoilers, so I'm probably missing some backstory and relationships because of inadequate subtitles and just not quite grasping everything that happens.

I kind of admire Ye-sool. She manages to address unpleasant or embarrassing topics directly and keeps her composure even when I would have been a stuttering wreck. In any case, I wouldn't be able to be so cool with my supervisor if I had made out with him the night before.
And no one can tell me she didn't have fun kissing Min-hu. Because if it was just to see more visions of the future, she wouldn't have needed to touch his lips.

Did Ye-sool actually propose a one night stand to Min-hu on her own in episode 4? I must have missed that somehow or the subtitles weren't clear.

Overall, I felt that the story got more substance with these last two episodes, everything seems a bit more rounded.

I'm looking forward to seeing Ye-sool dating two men at once (hehe, tomato and sunflower). That will be very entertaining for sure.

I must say she's an absolute QUEEN during their encounter next morning. Hah! I strive to have half as much composure as this lady does, someday. But then again, Min-Hu did manage to make a mess of himself during the petty drinking competition with the ex, and just that reminder alone is enough to keep Ye-Sul grounded the next morning, I believe! xD

Man, I am counting down the days till Wednesday now. This show may not be deep or intellectual or whatever, but dammit it’s catnip for my trashy fantasy-romcom tastes. It was made for ME.

So, umm, I understand theoretically that the breakup wasn’t Pil-yo’s fault and that the guy was dealt a raw deal by Ye-sool when she broke up with him out of nowhere (in his perspective). However, I still cannot bring myself to care. Even after all the time spent with him and all the reasons why I should probably feel bad for him, I don’t. I can be a very partisan viewer and it shows lol.

The confirmation kisses f*cking broke me, y’all. I just…love them so much and cannot wait to see them actually get it on. We better get every single scene shown in the flash-forwards in full, HD-quality detail. Cha “are we happy?” Min-hu, you got me dammit! I have too many feels now!

Funnily enough, i feel nothing for Pil-yo... who in your words, was very much dealt a raw deal. Instead, my heart goes out to Ye-Sul. And her curse. I trust they were very much in an advanced stage of a relationship (from her flashbacks, & the movie too...)
Those repeated visions must have destroyed her. There's no coming back from that. And of course, it's beautifully fitting that the visions that haunt her, are going to be her healing, eventually! :')

Same here. I can’t imagine being in Ye-sool’s position here. There’s no way to maintain a stable relationship when you’re constantly inundated with visions of how you’re not part of his future. She’s the person I feel bad for - not Pil-yo, whose actions I don’t find justifiable in the slightest no matter how ill-treated he felt during their breakup.

I would have felt bad for Pil-yo if he wasn't set on continuing from where they left off before the breakup - like with the ring and all and putting her on the spot. Look there was a bad breakup. That means you're slightly better than strangers now, so back off.

I think the webtoon did a slightly better job depicting YS and her previous bf's breakup, where her visions caused her extreme anxiety and insecurity and caused an obsessive need to make sure they wouldn't break up. She ended up focusing more on not breaking up than on her bf. I think it sort of explained why, as much as she was aghast at her CMH vision, she didn't try to avoid it. It would have been an exercise in futility, and she would have mentally spiraled.

It was kinda his fault too. Just when I almost started to feel sorry for him, he admitted to doing things that Ye-Sul did not like during their relationship. And , yes, I know.. if it was a 'normal' relationship, they might've worked it out... But I'm glad they aren't and it didn't.

How else were we going to get Ye-sul and Min-hu's unfathomable chemistry. *Swoons*

Yeppp that too. I shouldn’t have said the breakup wasn’t his fault when his actions clearly played a part too. And honestly, if he kept behaving like that, I can’t imagine their relationship lasting even if Ye-sool didn’t have precognition of their ultimate endgame.

Doing things to tease her, not to annoy her.
People- psychos are out of this list, genuinely behave like nutheads with thier other just to get under thier skin just to do one thing, tease that person. It's annoying, but it's also loving.

After this week's episodes, I'm definitely not shipping this two (Pilyo and Ye-sool) together anymore, they are hurt from each other enough as it is, and will hurt each other if their love remains, but I want to see them in good places.

I felt for him, but there is one thing about him I can't stand. He keeps messing with her job. He joins the company fine, but insist that she holds his hand through the whole process as if she doesnt have her own job to do (she's the Project Manager!!!). Then the thing with the car. Then creating the whole commercial concept to be about their relationship and when the actress is changed he rebels by refusing to adhere to their deadline. And he refuses to stay in budget. That's why like someone else commented I swooned when Min-Hu said that he doesnt allow his personal feelings to interfere with work. He's the first ML of his kind that I have seen in a work place rom-com.

Same here! I absolutely cannot relate to Pil-Yo. I understand that he wants some closure, but I just cannot connect with his "pain" or whatever it is that he feels. I just don't care about that story arc, I get very impatient when he is on screen with the FL and I just want to have more screen time of our OTP.

This episode got my inner fangirl squealing!!!!!! This was the therapy I never knew I needed.
I have to admit that in earlier episodes, I was torn between accepting that YS broke up with Pil-Yo because of her visions and because she was really hurt.
I like the way the drama did not solely put the blame of the breakup on Ye-sul. Pil-Yo was no saint either, he was ignoring her and making her feel unwanted and sure, Ye-sul's kissing episodes did not help the matter. But it did give her the courage she needed to break it off with him.

It might have been a different matter if she didn't know the woman in Pil-Yo's future, they might have lasted longer than they did although they'd have ended breaking up ultimately. It must have been hard seeing your boyfriend's future with a friend y'all see most of the time.

Anyways, I can't wait for full swoon worthy scenes between Se-yul and Min-hu. Writer-nim better give us those in dozens and multitudes.

Off to rewatch the earlier episodes before I die of the 'waiting for next episodes' heart attack.

I think that this is a drama I didn't know I needed. I randomly started watching it last week and the chemistry between the OTP will keep me going until the end.

I don't have anything against Pil-yo, I just really don't care. Will he end up dating Ji-young? 😂

I don't think that Min-hu "threw" Ye-sool under the bus; it looks like he has the plan or knows she will be alright/back in his team.
To be fair she/MH had to take responsibility for the leak and I even think more so her. She saw Pil-yo uncovering the car (MH was on a phone call) and after an initial small protest allowed him to take pictures of the car and was almost posing for the camera 🙄. It's not surprising that something like this happened and she knows it.

I can't wait for us to see all these flashbacks/visions of the OTP in the present time 😍

Yeah, I just can't care about PY. He seems to have always been self-absorbed and dismissive of YS’s wishes and needs, and he’s way too impressed with his own genius considering that his movie script is basically stenography.

PY’s and Ji-young’s testy interactions suggest some mutual spark, but she’s not the woman having a baby with him in YS’s visions. I’d love to see that brat make a play for PY and get crushed just to bring her down a peg.

Speaking of Ji-young, Show is unfortunately doing a terrible job at female characters other than YS and HW. All the rest are just single-idea stick figures: Eun-ji is sex-obsessed, Min-hee is nosy, Ji-young is a selfish diva, Planning Team 2 boss Sun-hee is envious (although, to be fair, she’s developing a little complexity), Planning Team 2 staff are morons. Each exists only to talk about or make YS think about MH. Women as essentially interchangeable caricatures who talk about nothing but sex and men is sexist and reductive. It’s not only a massive Bechdel test fail, it’s boring. Yo, writers - as MH and YS repeatedly say, “get back to work!”

I like Minhu. He's been taking care of YS all these years without pressuring her with his feelings. Now he's playing along with what she wants, while holding out for what he wants - long-term happiness, not a one-night stand. Moving YS to another team doesn't just address the Mopix leak, it also solves an ethical issue dramas like to ignore: dating a subordinate.

I'm looking forward to YS falling in love and living happily.

That is actually a REALLY good point: it seems like he’s still in her chain of command (or he can pull rank at least), but he’s no longer responsible for her career in the same way. I don’t think that would’ve been part of his calculation, since I really do think the alternative here was her getting fired for putting the company in a position of massive legal exposure, but it’s a better situation if they do date.

This show is delightfully weird and wonderful. The plot is very conventional and predictable at heart, but there are these absurdly entertaining moments (Jackson!) and fiery chemistry between the leads which appears to be effortless. When I heard about the casting and plot of this drama, I never imagined it would be this addictive--I love when that happens!

I also appreciate that there are frank but not cringey discussions of sex as a healthy, natural part of an adult relationship.

I don't feel anything for Pil-yo. He's not awful or scheming or selfish in my eyes, I understand his hurt and confusion over the end of his relationship, and I like his film, but he's not emotionally affecting me yet in any real way. I hope that changes as things progress.

It cracked me up that they somehow ended up in his apartment, walking through her vision. It’s very practical! But YS was also clearly leaning into it (it doesn’t look like they were kissing up against the wall, just acting out the postures she recalled) and she certainly looked like she was waiting for him to kiss her on his bed, and I like the way MH poked holes in her vision (“I usually undress them” and “I don’t sleep with anyone I’m not dating”) in a way that was truthful but also felt like he was playing a little.

The camerawork and chemistry is excellent, as is the pacing. It’s funny but it feels like KSS is doing this early-bed-scene approach very well, in a way that Now We Are Breaking Up missed by a mile. From SY’s first vision it’s been pretty clear they are INTO each other, and it’s a slow build for her to figure out the rest, despite the professional connection they have right now.

Because he got lost on the way to the set of Sh**ting Stars? 😆

At this point he looks like little moret than a stock friendly-bartender character and seems to be there mostly to show how YS reveals too much when she drinks, since he knows a lot about her personal life - including the fact that Pil-yo is her ex, which she hid from most other people. This show already has too many characters who are only there to allow YS to have expository conversations, but I wouldn't be surprised if he turns out to be her father's longtime friend or something like that.

I tried really hard earlier to make out the attacker's features and couldn't. That seems like a possibility, although if there's been any hint, I missed it. Of course the burglar is going to be someone who targeted YS and not just the random neighborhood crime guy, because Drama. I guess I'll just have to rewatch those episodes again. Such a hardship.
