A Kdrama if it were Boys Love

The format of this drama is exactly like that of an office romance kdrama if it were a boys love. This follows the same bland setting, some office with the exact cubicles. Yes there has to be two couples, the main couple and the side couple.

I actually liked maybe the first two episodes, especially the pilot. It started off grounded. He wakes up and realizes when he comes into physical contact with another person, he is able to read their thoughts. I wished it'd take the double edged sword further. When he bumps into strangers in a crowded street, and when he bumps into his coworker who frankly thinks Adachi is nice because he does his work for him, but looks grumpy again. Or that onigiri street vendor who says Mayo onigiri again.

I actually forget how good the pilot was.

Then I realized how shallow and underdeveloped the characters are. The pilot relied on comedy, but then it gets stale. I actually found the pacing to be sluggish. By episode 6 I still know nothing about the characters. All I know is Kurosawa only thinks about Adachi when they are together and how his actions may affect Adachi. I mean having a love interest who is consenting and respectful is hardly plot or characterization. Hello anyone seen Banana Fish? Adachi I still know nothing about, other than he likes Kurosawa back. The plot solely relies on the will-they-wont-they that frankly gets dragged out too long for the majority of the series. I mean Adachi knows Kurosawa likes him from the pilot.

There isn't a plot. I wished that it'd at least take advantage of the comedy where whenever Adachi touched someone's hand, he realizes they were secretly in love with him. Like I wish it'd take the fantasy elements even further.

I couldn't relate to any of the characters. I could relate maybe just to the pilot where when he first hears the thoughts of strangers.
