Sep 16 (News On Japan) - In the new drama Kiss Or Die, Gekidan Hitori is forced by Tsukino Luna to drink a mysterious drug that turns his most beloved pastimes into objects of hatred.
Once under its influence, he is confronted with the very things he used to enjoy, each now causing him visible torment. His expressions twist in agony as he undergoes the experiences one after another.
Yet, for audiences, the scenes are layered with irony. What is supposed to be unbearable pain often appears more like guilty pleasure, blurring the line between punishment and indulgence. The show’s premise hinges on this tension: the struggle to give a “perfect kiss” in order to survive, while every other comfort in life turns into a source of suffering.
Kiss Or Die builds on a high-stakes concept, merging dark comedy with survival drama. Each episode challenges its characters with scenarios that mix intimacy and dread, pushing them to confront the contradictions of desire, fear, and human vulnerability. The series positions itself not only as entertainment but also as a commentary on the extremes of love and obsession.
