Episode 1.

In an animated version, the show begins with Jade dreaming about his coworkers. In his dreams, his coworker searches for his misplaced cake, and he attempts to track down the culprit by using his watch, named “Santi,” in the role of “The Great Detective Jade.” While searching for the culprit, “Santi” noticed a youthful, attractive man. When Jade stepped in to see him, she was astounded by how attractive he looked with the cake in his hand. He hears a dog barking as a clue that this is really a dream as he attempts to get to know the guy better. When he woke up, he was uncertain of who the culprit was. 

Jade rushed to the office as soon as he woke up late. As he waited for the new trainee for the graphic design team to arrive, a young, attractive man came into his office. When he finds out he looks so familiar, he becomes cold in an attempt to scare the trainee. He was taken aback by his high GPA when he checked his profile. Jade learns they attended the same university as the interview goes on. He stares at Mai, and he can’t help but stare at her. Because of his attractive appearance and smart attitude, he seems to have been God’s favorite in the eyes of Jade.

Jade is ashamed when Mai realizes that he is staring at him strangely. In an attempt to initiate conversation, Mai inquires about Skytrain at their campus, to which he joyfully responds. When the conversation came to a close, Mai and Jade shook hands, and Jade expressed how much she enjoyed hearing his experiences. One month later, Jade toured Mai in the office alongside Gus, his officemate’s trainee. He brought them to the pantry, where they saw Tong, King’s trainee, and Bas, his other coworker. Tong stared at Gun as they walked away. Uea and King were fighting when Jade introduced the trainees to them.

As the two have trouble, Jade grows agitated. Uea requests that he refrain from acting as King’s middleman once more. The two trainees get his apology and assurance that he has their backs. When Gus compares them to the “Cinderella Family,” Mai refers to him as “Middleman Jade.” He gladly took the cool nickname Mai had given him. The latter turns around in eagerness and smiles as he looks at him. He fainted a moment after that. In his dreams, he was the “middleman” between King and Uea’s suitors throughout their time in high school.

As they approached the stairs, Gus stumbled, and Mai grabbed him to prevent him from falling. Based on their mutual glances, Jade assumed they were fond of one another. There, he realizes that he will act as their middleman. When everyone leaves the office, Jade is the only person left. He was running to the elevator when he became afraid, as he noticed that the lights were fighting when he was leaving. He let out a loud cry upon realizing Mai was there waiting for him. He hit him for playing a prank on him, and they began going to work every day on that same day.

Driving Jade brings Mai satisfaction. Every day, along with giving him breakfast, he picks him up. While he drives, Jade feeds him breakfast, and Mai loves to observe him on his way to work. His life was full of joy from the first day Mai offered him a ride. He is so happy that he finds it difficult to envision his life without him. When they got to the office, Jade thanked Mai, and he said it was a joy to help. Jade felt his heart race like he was working out as he caressed his arms. It was picked up by his smartwatch, and Mai saw that he was blushing as well. Unable to control himself, he simply turns and leaves.

At work, one of his coworkers asks Jade for help. Mai noticed that they were working on something, so he got closer to Jade and watched them work. The former feels awkward and starts blushing again. He felt his heart race again when Mai asked him to teach him as well. As they work together, Jade starts to feel something different. After lunch, the four of them saw Mai and Gus talking to each other. Jade felt excited as the two became closer. He bragged about being the middleman between the two. Back at work, Jade asks Uea if Gus can help Mai with their new project, and the latter agrees. He thinks that it could be the start of something romantic between the two.

Jade enjoys watching Mai and Gus work together. He feels that there’s romantic excitement when Gus massages Mai’s shoulder. But the excitement ended when Tong entered, and suddenly, Gus also gave him a massage. Jade interrupted them and told Gus that he needed a massage too. Tong and Mai watch Gus as he massages their boss like he’s breaking all of his bones. When going home, Jade asks Mai if he can drop him off at the pharmacy. Mai thought he had a fever, so he touched his forehead. And once again, Jade’s heart races. They went to a pharmacy, where Jade kept the dog he adopted. His place was not pet-friendly, so his friend let ‘Sakoo’ stay in the garage of the pharmacy.

Sakoo is cute, Mai told Jade. However, he was staring at him rather than the dog when he said that, and his attention was drawn to the fact that his boss was constantly giggling. They snapped some pictures and played with Sakoo. As they walk home, gazing at the pictures, they notice a young, handsome man who appears to be waiting for Jade.

 

We got a peek at Jade’s life in the first episode, where she acted as an interface for everything in the company. However, he can’t identify the lovely, attractive man that appears in his dream. And everything changed in his life when Mai came into it. Moreover, despite his attempts to act as a middleman for Gus and Mai, it appears that the latter is more drawn to him. Can he identify that attractive man in his dream? Will he be able to tell that Mai has feelings for him? In ‘Middleman’s Love’s’ upcoming episode, let us discover.
