The Eighth Sense: The Series

Such incredible story that speaks to many young adults going through so many things at their college years and still trying to overcome their problems on their own. The characters are really perfect to portrait how going to therapy, taking proper madication and having people who loves you having your back are the way to fight depression.

It's a really important project since south korea are so closed when it comes to discussions about mental health and lgbtq+ representation but the producers managed to open this discussion in this project in such delicate way that I had many tears even when I listened to the songs being played during the episodes.

I don't remember the last time I wrote a review on imdb, if ever, but I loved this series so much that I wanted to leave some praise for it. When I first saw the trailer, I thought the cinematography looked beautiful and I liked that there was surfing involved, but I also expected a certain degree of... reservedness (is that a word? Maybe just "reservation"?) that seems common in kdramas. Which I realize is a cultural difference, so I'm not criticizing, but I loved The Eighth Sense for how visceral it is. There are tight closeups to let us see every flicker of a characters eyes, there's handheld camera work so we feel like we're walking the streets of Seoul beside them, there are awkward silences, there's sexual tension so thick it makes the audience a little nervous and fluttery. The characters feel fully-inhabited, and the music!! So many really fantastic uses of music, most of which I hadn't heard before.

Overall, I think this is an incredible series, and highly recommend it to anyone with an interest in romance and/or coming of age stories.

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!!!

The Eighth Sense is probably the best bl series I've seen so far. How Jihyun and Jaewon won me over, how the directors were able to get us into story doesn't happen much these days. The story, the dialogues, the lights, the music, the cinematography, everything was perfectly portrayed. The series has both happy and cute moments and of course bad and sad moments, but that's what I love about the series. I hope we will see a sequel, because both the main actors Ji-sub and Juntaek, the directors, but the whole team of people around the series deserve it! We need more Jaewon and Jihyun as couple!!

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.
