Premise

Hong Ye-sul is a competent, work-obsessed account executive at an advertising company who has kept one secret since childhood: when her lips touch another person, she sees flashes of that person's future, although she cannot tell whether a vision lies a month, a year, or several years ahead.²^•¹⁰ Her team chief Cha Min-hu, who has abnormally sharp five senses, has criticized her work for two years while rarely returning her greetings, and she dislikes him accordingly.¹¹ When an accident brings their lips into contact, she sees the two of them in bed together at some point in the future, and the story follows her attempts to confirm or avoid that vision.²^•¹²

A third point of the triangle is Lee Pil-yo, Ye-sul's ex-boyfriend, a film director celebrated at overseas festivals who returns to Korea to keep a promise to propose to her if he wins an award.¹ Supporting roles include Lee Joo-yeon as Oh Ji-young, Kim Ga-eun as Ban Ho-woo, and Tae In-ho as Oh Seung-taek.³

The source webtoon and its writer

The drama adapts a web novel of the same title by Gatnyeo, who had earlier written Lips Are Too Much (입술이 너무해) and is known among fans as a "lips specialist" for working with kiss-centered material.¹¹^•⁴ Gatnyeo said she wanted to twist the familiar setup of two workplace enemies falling in love by showing the couple's happy ending at the very start, then explaining how they got there.¹¹ She also chose the protagonists' names for sound: "Ye-sul" (예술) and "Min-hu" (민후) are pronounced with lip motions that suggest a kiss.¹¹

The webtoon version, drawn by Jocobong, premiered on Naver on April 22, 2021 as a weekly Saturday series and ran 98 episodes, concluding on April 14, 2023; the English edition on Webtoon ran from June 18, 2021 to June 16, 2023.⁴ It has been translated into English, Chinese, Spanish, Indonesian, and Thai.¹¹^•¹³

Production and release

Filming began in October 2021 and finished in late January 2022, making the series fully pre-produced.⁶ Production was temporarily halted in January 2022 after the death of the 29-year-old actor Kim Mi-soo, known for her role in the JTBC drama Snowdrop, who had begun filming for the series; the production company did not comment on her role.¹³

At the online production press conference on May 25, 2022, Yoon Kye-sang described the show as an in-depth fantasy romance with good energy, a change of pace after years of darker genre work.¹ Director Nam Ki-hoon said the series mixes heightened senses and supernatural ability, and that watching not only the future but also the past is part of its appeal.¹ Seo Ji-hye rated her on-screen chemistry with Yoon Kye-sang "120 out of 100," and Kim Ji-seok joked that he grew jealous of the pair's many kiss scenes in homes, offices, and tea rooms.¹⁴^•¹

The 12 episodes were released on Disney+ starting May 25, 2022, with the finale on June 29, 2022.¹^•⁵ In the United States the series streams on Hulu; it is also available on Disney+ in South Korea, Canada, Australia, Brazil, and Japan.⁹ It carries a 12+ rating in Korea and TV-14 in the United States.³^•²

Reception

On the review aggregator Kinolights the series holds a user score of 3.0 out of 5 from ten reviews, with one reviewer deducting points for direction that made the male lead's sudden change of heart seem to undermine his established character.³ Common Sense Media's review criticized the depiction of a female lead working to the point of illness while being bullied and pursued by a male colleague, and described the workplace power dynamics as unhealthy.¹⁵ Audience scores on streaming databases are more favorable: SearchOTT lists 7.9 out of 10 across 100 ratings, and IMDb lists 7.2 out of 10.⁹^•¹⁰

The series is also cited as an example of web-novel intellectual property expanding across formats: the same story exists as a web novel, a serialized webtoon in multiple languages, and a streamed drama.¹¹
