After the stabbing, the police and ambulance get there to catch Hae-jin and take Min-hu to the hospital in the Kiss Sixth Sense finale. Sa-ra consoles Ye-sool at the hospital and the latter asks her whether she knew about her and Min-hu knowing each other from when they were young.

A flashback sequence later, where Min-hu is absolutely scathing with Ye-sool, the two become fast friends after he drops off a lost Ye-sool at home. It’s actually cute watching the two bond, especially Ye-sool who wants to be his family so that they can spend all of their time together. Unfortunately, it was also these two kids who discovered her father’s body.

Back in the present, a remorseful Ye-sool remembers everything about her past and sobs thinking about how Min-hu had saved her back then as well. Devastatingly still, they get the bad news that they should prepare for the worst in regarding Min-hu since he had already lost a lot of blood. Ye-sool sits beside her unconscious boyfriend and asks him to wake up since she has to much to tell him, now that she remembers everything.

Ye-sool, meanwhile, tries to quit her job in order to take care of Min-hu but to Sun-hee’s credit, she tells her to take a month off and then come back to take care of the projects that he worked so hard on. The good news, however, doesn’t take long as Min-hu wakes up soon enough, much to Ye-sool’s happiness.

He messes around with her and tries to make her believe that he lost his memories but things go back to normal pretty soon and hilariously, he tries to sleep with her the first night they are back. Also surprisingly to both of them, they have now lost their abilities, having fulfilled their duties of protecting each other. Their bickering is actually hilarious and reminds me why I enjoyed the series for so long.

However, as time goes on, their normal, apparently vanilla relationship, unfortunately, is filled with horrible fights where they almost tear each other’s hair out in the office. Their work gets hampered because of their excessive nitpicking and negative attitude and they constantly fight with each other. Her parents try to justify it as love but honestly, it’s a bit exhausting to watch.

Kiss Sixth Sense Episode 12 Ending

As they fight for the hundredth time over Pil-yo and Ji-young, the latter asks Pil-yo in front of a sea of reporters whether he likes her, leaving Ye-sool and Min-hu stunned. She confesses her feelings for him, leaving everyone at the event cheering. However, this annoys Ye-sool and they fight again before she leaves his apartment, apparently breaking up for good.

He does catch up to her eventually and as it snows heavily, they kiss each other as she apparently sees another prediction.

Kiss Sixth Sense Episode 12 Review

The Kiss Sixth Sense finale exhausted and confused me like no other. Were we supposed to back this couple because I don’t understand how they were that humble with their powers which are not about being humble? I don’t understand why they become such horrible people. Does seeing the future make you empathetic?

Regardless, the last two episodes of the series are a mess and the Kiss Sixth Sense finale tries to tell us how the lovebirds would live their lives now that they don’t have special abilities but it makes you hate these characters whom you’ve grown to love over 11 episodes. I don’t know why they went this route. I mean, sure, they were annoying but come on.

On the other hand, they handled the supporting characters horrendously and totally forgot to tell us what happened to Hae-jin. We spend so much of our time following them fighting with each other that we don’t get to know how Seung-taek and Ho-woo end up so in love.

The major bad deed that they did was with poor Pil-yo who was only introduced in the story to introduce lukewarm conflict. He just runs around like a wounded dog behind Ye-sool and then goes back to the US after facing rejection. So, you know what? Good for him for getting Ji-young – I hope their relationship is better than our protagonists.

There’s also this weird need for the show to portray that Ye-sool and Min-hu stay together despite the horrible fights that they get into as if that’s a good thing. I, on the other hand, found their relationship shocking and it would make more sense for them to break up rather than be in a relationship where both of them are fighting most of the time.

Or maybe, this is who they always were and their powers preoccupied them from bringing out that part of them.

Regardless, I wish they had just kept this simple instead of adding so much extra and unnecessary drama to the mix. The Kiss Sixth Sense ending is rather foul and leaves a bad taste in your mouth.
