The Eighth Sense: The Series

Words can't explain how beautiful this drama was. The storyline, the characters, the settings- everything. Everything about this drama will forever be comfort for me. The kind of romance that makes you yearn but also admire has been presented; both characters forever have my heart. I would watch this again a hundred times and it'll still make me feel touched. Particularly Jaewon's words in ep.9 I will never forget. Him saying everything will be okay whilst having struggles of his own :( thanks to this drama for keeping reality but still showing us something beautiful. Season 2... although s1 felt complete, I just want an excuse to see my favourite boys on screen again<3.

The indie vibe, amazing performances, all right messages and a beautiful love story. The casting director should get a raise for finding this ideal match - Im Ji Sub and Oh Jun Taek. The series addresses all the issues - dealing with trauma, understanding who you are and what it is really important in your life. And those visuals, you are kidding me.. Those faces. All this at the back of beautiful sea shore, surfing. Amazing moment of cinema and a really breakthrough in Korean BL drama. Special thanks for the OST - truly wonderful. Wetter, Unalaska, Conan Gray, Floris ans others - a pure delight to listen to. Also - 30-40 min per episode is finally what we were expecting for, a big change from 15 min BL. Thank you for creating a very satisfying watch.

One of the best corean BLs made till the moment. With an amazing work and love behind. Not scare to talk about controversial topics. Uses lights an escenography in one of the best ways I never seen, when only eyes and lights are used and you feel everything wothout words you know is a masterpice.

Also sau, that It is addictive since episode one, only to be getting better and better. Not for semsitive people. This is definetly not a comedy but more a painful true and amazong drama.

Thanks for the hard work and delivering such greate and long bl. And for giving us 2 characters that I would necer forget.

This is my all-time favorite BL in many ways (pretty much all). I think the thing that got the most out of the story is that it was all so natural and realistic that I, as a young gay man, could see myself there in both of them. From the looks, to the little touches, the first kiss coming out of nowhere, pretending it never happened lol, the courage to assume you're looking for a man and all the fear of coming out but at the same time not fearing anymore because love is more important, it's all very relatable in the story. As for the characters, they were very well built, Jihyun and Jaewon are so charismatic and adorable that already in the first episode I was in love with them and wishing them the best, I want to congratulate Jinsub and Juntaek for being able to bring these characters to life in the best way and make this love story even better. I must also congratulate everyone else involved as, as for BLs, probably the choice of soundtrack, cinematography, direction, dialogues, are all my favorites!! I have several scenes that I could spend the day talking about, but my favorite: Jihyun and Jaewon hugging in EP5, the scene was so sensitive, with the acting and directing, along with the perfect choice of instrumental that I couldn't hold back the tears. 10/10 DRAMA!!!

It's not a perfect series, but they really tried. What I didn't like it was the sequence sometimes felt really off, but the rest was by far way better that most BL series out there. Both main characters were well portrayed. The chemistry was there, the longing, the desire, the doubt, the urge to be together, the sadness, and so on, you can clearly feel that because both actors really did their job and gave what they have.

Lim Ji-Sub surprised me the most; what a beautiful gem they got while casting him. The "micro" expressions you can see thanks to the careful angles they director decided to film him, that's from another world. The way that man can change his sad and empty expression by just a tiny hint of a smile, it's definitely not something lot of actors out there can pull off. I hope we can see him in more projects in the future.

Oh Jun Taek. Another great discover. If I'm not mistaken, his first role and he was castead out the streets. Regardless, he delivered and showed that you don't really need that much experience to give such a warm, beautiful and natural performance, which it's not that common in the BL industry, where most actors seems to be waiting constantly to say their lines in the most lame way and go home.

Should all BL's stories be like "The Eighth Sense"? Definitely, no.

But I hope, in terms of production, quality and performance, other productions could improve and deliver better series since the BL industry is growing more and more.

After finishing the series, you can clearly see that the production didn't "just wanted to ride the BL train trend"; they actually wanted to tell a story. Took care of details, and make the most out of their cast and resources.

Let's stay tuned for what other projects the actors & directors have for us in the future.
