The Middleman's Love: Uncut
Jade works as a graphic designer. He is always the one in the middle. Middle child. He has got average grades in school. People around him, either his siblings or his friends, are so good-looking that he has always been…
From the same universe as the darkly intense *Bed Friend* comes a wildly different, glitter-soaked romantic comedy that turns the spotlight on everyone’s favorite supporting character, Jade. A perpetually overlooked graphic designer who’s always stuck in the middle—middle child, middle of the pack, middle of any group photo—Jade’s life is turned upside down when a charming, almost-too-perfect new intern, Mai, walks into his office and immediately sets his sights on him. The only problem? Jade is completely oblivious, convinced that someone as dazzling as Mai could never be interested in someone so… average. What follows is a delightful, chaotic game of courtship as Mai pulls out every romantic stop (think roses, puppy-dog eyes, and shameless flirting) while Jade trips over his own insecurities, aided by his loud, loving family and his sharp-tongued best friends Uea and King. With a tone that leans heavily into slapstick, animation flourishes, and a healthy dose of steam in its 'Uncut' version, this series is a candy-colored celebration of finding love when you least expect it—and learning that being 'just average' might actually be the most special thing of all.
