A curse that kills anything you touch, and a maid who keeps trying to hold your hand anyway. That gap, between wanting her and knowing you'll destroy her, is the entire show, and it never stops hurting in the best way. The romance doesn't move fast because it can't, which means every moment of almost-contact lands harder than a confession in most other shows. The CGI stumbles sometimes, but the writing around the curse is sharp enough that you stop noticing. Two people in love with no safe way to touch each other, finding reasons to stay in the same room anyway.

A young duke has lived under a witch's curse since childhood: any living thing he touches dies. His family, unable to cope with him, sent him away to an old mansion, where his only company is an elderly butler named Rob and Alice, a flirtatious maid who has known him since they were children. Alice teases him constantly and gets as close as she dares, loving to make him blush, yet her affection for him is sincere. As his own feelings for her grow, so does his frustration with what the curse forbids, and he resolves to find a way to break it for both their sakes. The result is a supernatural romantic comedy with a dramatic edge.
