excellent series, both intimate and realistic
The only reason I don't put 10 is because that rating is reserved for I TOLD SUNSET ABOUT YOU & UNCONTROLLED LOVE.By the way, it has some of the vibes as ITSAY, in that the story is approached in an intimate and modest way. The scenes are beautiful, everything is projected with a light sometimes raw, sometimes poetic.
The actors are very convincing, we believe in them from beginning to end. The secondary characters are all useful to the story.
The problems are approached in a realistic way without doing too much: guilt, depression, job search, ... The life in Korea is shown without filter. We are far from the colorful world of Kpop - and somehow, it's better.
To see without hesitation.

An Unique Korean BL Drama
As the title mentioned, this drama is awesome. The storyline and music are unique.Jihyun doesn’t know how to surfing or swimming, he still joining the surfing society to learn to surf and meet his love, Jaewon. I think the drama compared surfing to boys’ love, both of them need to overcome difficulties. It is the first time they fall in love with a boy, and they are so confused to confess their love to each other. Luckily, they confirmed the feeling towards each other!
Also, the dialogue is really meaningful to the audiences, which inspire me to think about life.
In conclusion, I really love their interaction in the drama, they are so cute! I’m looking forward to the second season of “The Eighth Sense”. I hope the two main characters are willing to be cast for the second season. Keep it up! Thanks for giving us a masterpiece to us!

Una historia humana de amor, memorias y errores
The eighth sense trae una nueva perspectiva y drama entre una ola de k-bls que sigue la misma fórmula, los directores nos adentraron a personajes humanos, por un lado tenemos a Jaewon, recién salido de su servicio militar y un chico que lleva una máscara día con día, por el otro lado tenemos a Jihyun, un novato universitario tratando de encajar en un mundo diferente. En condiciones normales sería difícil ver tener química entre dos individuos totalmente diferentes, pero la química entre los actores y la forma en que se desarrolla su relación no da más para pensar que estos dos chicos fueron más que destinados a encontrarse.Si bien, tenemos detalles que pudieran costar la excelente cinematografía e historia de la serie: inconsistencia en la edición, escenas abruptas, diálogos un poco innecesarios, al final del día creo que para ser el primer trabajo de los directores estos detalles no lograron opacar complementamente mi adición hacia esta serie.
Jisub y Juntaek definitivamente pusieron su todo en las actuaciones, sin su química y sus presentaciones no hubiera podido despegar tan fácilmente, especialmente por Jisub, Jaewon es un personaje complicado, lleno de espinas y diferentes caras a lo largo de la serie, su actuación simplemente fue fenomenal. Y Juntaek, me sorprendió muchísimo saber que era su primera vez, simplemente tiene mucho futuro, no creo que alguien hubiera podido interpretar mejor a Jihyun.
Creo que hubo algo humano dentro de esta serie que hizo que mi rating fuera alto, amo tener historias lgbtq que se salen del status quo y nos meten en una experiencia de tratar de entender estos personajes más allá de una relación, pero más bien como individuos.
Amaría una segunda temporada para explorar en este caso la relación entre Jisub y Jaewon, pero de igual manera considero que el final fue satisfactorio.

Probably the best BL ever
Everything about this show is magical. I am so glad that i watched it. Please give this show a try, you won't be disappointed. The characters will be with you for a long time. My most favourite thing about this show is probably the cinematography. The close ups, the little details, it's all so perfect. After a while you might even forget that it's a bl because you will see that they are two people falling in love. Not boys, but people...each having their own complex thing going on. I love how i can relate to the characters so much. I so hope that there is a season 2. And the last few lines of the show...it's a lesson that's going to be with me forever. Thankyou to all the people who were involved in bringing this masterpiece to life. Please keep up this good work. Thanks a lot.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

Amazing chemistry and story
this was an amazing show, absolutely gorgeous to watch. The colors, the acting, the story itself, everything was perfect. the only minus point for me would be the "best friend" who's only here for the money of the main lead and I would gladly throw him out the window myself ? apart from that, the chemistry between the two main leads was mind-blowing, the girl best friend was very cute and relatable. even the ex girlfriend was not completely despicable towards the end. the depression part was very just in my opinion, too.great love story, great friendship snippets, I highly highly recommend it

I like it even though there are a lot of things I didn't like about it.
For those wondering, this series has a *happy ending*I think that this may be one of the best korean BLs of the year BUT,
compared to other BLs, this is a bit confusing for me. I felt like there are episodes that are cut in a weird way that made the story not flow so well. It sometimes made me feel like I was watching a compilation of clips rather than a series. For instance, there is a moment where they don't talk and then they just met on subway like that without any clear explanation (did he follow him?).
Another thing is that, I also felt a bit confused about Jae Won's character acting. There is a moment where he kisses so deep and there are times when he kisses like a plucking chicken. He also became a bit awkward after they got together. He says he doesn't mind what others say but he is also not as clingy as before. I felt like he got so much relaxed about getting together with Ji Hyun, in a romantic sense.
Lastly, I also didn't like how they just brushed of Eun Ji's and Tae Hyung's very very horrible attitude with a sorry. Heck, Eun Ji didn't even said sorry. Ji Hyun did, and that was very aggravating. I hope they recieved some kind of moment for character development where they really repented from what they've done 'cause everybody else had some kind of adulting change, and they didn' t. It was so frustrating. I also didn't understand that stepping back-stepping up game at the end. Hahaha.
HOWEVER, what made me like this series a lot is the cinematography. I felt like I was watching Blueming with a hint of that american BL feel. The colors and the first NC scene is so well directed.
Also even though the opening is a bit weird for me, as it felt like I was watching an opening of Baywatch, and there is even that weird guy holding a surf board, it grew on me. At the end of the series, I felt that it was not that bad.
I also like Mira and Ae ri very very much. They are on my top tier list of best female characters for BL series. They are just so true, sweet, and caring throughout the series that I would love to hug them and hang out with them very much. Don't forget about Jun Pyo as well. Though I felt like his role as a very great bestfriend was a bit brushed of by the story. I hoped they have shown that as well.
I really like these characters so much that it made the tenth episode great when Mira finally got what she wanted. It had me in tears. Because she really really deserved it.
Lastly, even though there is no closure about Jae Won's trauma, family and mental sickness, I liked it more with that. Because I think that there is no need to hurry to 'heal' and just slowly getting better is enough, which the end of the series really showed that. I also loved how they showcased mental illness in this story and how there is nothing wrong with seeking help. Though I also felt that the therapist became a bit unprofessional with her tone at the end.
Overall, I think this is a series that could've been better with a more smooth transition of events like those of Semantic Error or Dating Sim. Sadly, it isn't. So it may be a very good watch, and I like it, but this is not one of those that I might rewatch again. It is a feel good BL though so I recommend others to watch it.

one of the best in a while ❤
It would definitely be a mistake to think of this as a mere BL show, because it was much more than that.The cinematography is breathtaking, the story is no more no less than exactly what it should be, acting is really good, intimate scenes are perfectly done...
I recently found out that this is an indie production, which sky-rocketed my respect for everyone who had a part in producing this amazing series.
I will be keeping an eye on what they all will do next.
I loved it and I'm almost certain you will too..

Best kbl
The best actors and chemistry, story, musical scoring, cinematography and everything is just sooo beautiful. The moment that i saw the trailer I already knew its going to be a great drama. The actors acting are so natural. Every scenes they have together is so captivating and intense especially when they look at each other, they have so much chemistry. I love that the story also tackles about mental health, trauma and grief, family, friends, school and their relationship with each other. I like jihyuns character so much, he has so much love, understanding and patience towards jaewon, which u can rarely see today. Dealing with a loved one who has mental health issues aren't easy. I hope everyone will watch drama because it really is so beautiful. Highly recommended.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
The chemistry between the two mains is ?. The soundtrack is ?. The cinematography is beautiful and significant to the storytelling.
What i loved most about T8S is that the characters' sexuality is not the conflict or the main plot. These are people with problems just trying to navigate life, and they also happen to be attracted to someone of the same sex.

This is a drama that tells you a story of love and the importance of having a support system
I rarely write a review and if I do, that means I really enjoy it and this drama brought so much joy, love, pain, understanding and finally, acceptance.The eight sense is a drama that will bring you to a roller coaster ride of emotions but overall will give you the satisfaction at the end. Also, this drama taught you the importance of having someone who can help you get through suffering, anxiety and depression as having a what you call, a support system will definitely lead you to happiness.
