Sixth sense or no sense?


My feelings for Kiss Sixth Sense are definitely mixed. On one hand, I thought that Yoon Kye Sang and Seo Ji Hye delivered formidable performances here as our main leads as well as surprisingly engaging onscreen chemistry. However while I was impressed with our main leads’ performances, I’ll be honest by saying that the writing and some of the casting choices felt poorly done at times.

First of all, I have to say that I’ve never read the webcomic . I have associates and friends who have done so and having briefly skimmed through some chapters, I can see where their opinions on the differences between the series and the live action drama come into play. One big thing that seemed to bug those that read the webcomic a lot after seeing some episodes or scenes of the drama came through casting choices.

Now as I’ve said beforehand, I can’t entirely base my personal opinions on these differences but even as someone who only has a loose grasp of the webcomic and characters, I have to say that I can see where these views come from. Don’t get me wrong. I have no issue with casting older actors into specific roles or playing younger characters and in many ways, this can offer viewers with some brilliant performances. However although I did think that the acting was pretty good across the board, I have to agree that there were a couple of casting choices here and there which did feel a little mismatched against the personalities/ personas of certain onscreen characters. Not saying it was bad to choose these actors but it did feel a bit starkly presented that some casting choices weren’t always chosen with the characters in mind.

Now that I’ve discussed one of my biggest peeves with the show, I guess that I should probably discuss a little about the writing and continuity. In all honesty I didn’t think the writing was entirely bad per say early on. It was cliche in parts but I actually think that the writing team did a good job with setting up the main leads and building up their onscreen dynamic to use in later episodes. However it did seem to me that in later episodes, the writing almost took a back seat and let the writing steer off course slightly.

What I mean by this is to say that the writing felt a little chaotic in later episodes with the writing team attempting to quickly resolve as many plot points as possible without always necessarily thinking about whether this would be something the characters in mind would do or act upon. For example what started off with a good dynamic between our leads descended into a cliche affair of events which while having a final resolution, felt overly predictable or poorly put together. I think that I share a lot of viewers’ thoughts regardless of whether you liked or didn’t like the show when I say that the ending felt a bit rushed and lacked a little clarity here and there.

The filming of the series was fairly good. I wouldn’t say that it really stood out and inspired me but it was pretty decent to watch. Maybe my one complaint here could’ve been that the show felt a little dull at times despite its genre mix, something the film and editing crew could’ve definitely intertwined into the onscreen narrative and animated to life a bit more.

The OST of the series was probably on the same level as the filming. It was decent and there were a couple of tracks like "Fantasy" by Suran and "You're Like Americano” by Yuju that you will maybe find yourself humming along to or tapping your fingers to the beat, but apart from that, it was pretty sub par in my opinion.

Overall Thoughts; Kiss Sixth Sense is what I define as probably an above-average drama. It was not terrible by any stretch of the imagination and there a lot of positives about the show like our main leads and elements of fantasy here and there ( though not encompassing the series) but it’s hard to really define a lot of outstanding marks with the show. The casting choices felt a bit mismatched, the writing did feel rushed at times and the filming and OST were pretty sub par. I think that someone is going into this show for a mindless and disengaging binge watch or isn’t too bothered by the quality of a series then Kiss Sixth Sense is probably ideal but for me, I have to say that this series was a bit of a time waster. Definitely a 7.0/10 for me.
