If the ocean was a show, it would be this
The more I think about it, the more I’m convinced it’s deserving a top spot in my personal favorites. I kind of agree with some users in calling out the “weight” of the story, which is quite simple, but I cannot stress enough how simplicity can and is a good thing when done right. There’s so much happening under the surface here and it’s all carried through with an incredibly expressive cast, all graced with such a natural gift for acting out the little moments. I felt like as a watcher I just jumped on a ship and navigated through the waves of every episode. LOVED how slow paced it was and how they took their time with what they felt was important to serve their characters. Definitely a more mature approach to the BL world. Thank you, South Korea, you’re raising the bar for everyone else!Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

mucho mucho amor puede sanar cualquier alma
ay por favor, quiero hacer una review cortita pq sigo sin encontrar las palabras exactas para describir esta hermosa serie, de vdantes de que empezara, cuando ví que tendría 10 episodios de 40 minutos cada uno sabía que ya algo iba a cambiar. obviamente no me equivoqué!! hace mucho que no veía una serie tan linda y realista. voy a hacer una listita de cosas que me encantaron:
- la manera en la que abordan el tema de la salud mental de jaewon, es muy realista y encaja con la situación de muchas personas
- la estética de la serie, es tan satisfactoria se ver, los colores encajan tan bien en cada escena, realmente ayudó muchísimo a transmitir más sentimiento!!
- la actuación de los protagonistas, la química que hay entre ellos es increíble, me encantaría seguir viéndolos juntos en series con mucho angst jajsks
- el tiempo de desarollo de la historia, me pareció que en ningún momento fue apresurado, lo manejaron súper bien
- específicamente las escenas finales del episodio 6, son tan TAN hermosas, es increíble como sin diálogo se puede transmitir tanto, la conexión entre los personajes se aprecia a la perfección a través de la pantalla ♡
es una serie que recomiendo al 100%, y la volvería a ver en cualquier momento que tenga ganas de ver algo que sé con seguridad que no me va a causar frustración. no fue para nada pesada de ver, todos los episodios me engancharon mucho, lo cual es bastante difícil jaja
conclusión, me atrevo firmemente a decir que es el mejor bl coreano hasta ahora, e incluso uno de los mejores en general!

Best watched with a headspace that is ready for heartache
Compared to the usual BL fare, The Eighth Sense deliberately creates curated gaps in its storytelling, leaving the viewer to piece the story together and fill in the ambiguities with their imagination.It is also an emotionally intense slowburn that demands patience – if you’re looking for a breezy show to chill out with after a long day, this may not be what you want. Eighth Sense is best watched with a headspace that is ready for the heartache.
Jaewon and Jihyun are drawn together during a string of chance encounters. This infuriating yet thrilling dance around what will become of them is what makes The Eighth Sense so remarkably relatable.
Curiosity towards another person. The constant searching gaze, only to be met with disappointment when you don’t see the person glancing back at you. Stolen moments that become a shared secret.
The series concludes with a finale that fills one with a vast sense of possibility and yearning for a romantic excursion, however fleeting.

The Best BL Drama I've ever seen
I don't know where to start. The work they put into the characters to bring them to live was amazing! The storyline is well done, no filler episodes, no boring or unnecessary scenes - only enjoyable, adventurous and lovely scenes! I loved the way they handled the mental health topic which is why I loved Jaewon so much. The producers portrayed him so well! :) I also loved the love story between Jaewon and Jihyun. It wasn't rushed or too much, the perfect amount of emotional love, affection. I can recommend this drama to EVERYONE!! It was amazing!! 😭🤍Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
This drama changed me
I was in love just after the first episode. I was living the characters . It made me feel things I never felt.This drama has a beautiful storyline, The acting was amazing by the cast . It was not just romance but social issues as well. The way Jaewon overcame his depression I felt the change. The emotions of the drama was related really well.
I am going to rewatch this drama. This drama really showed a glimpse of large production bls and what they can do. It has set the bar way too high for upcoming bls

The realest drama
Before I watched ep 9 I felt this show was a nine not because it was bad it was because Eun Ji was getting on my nerves of trying to force herself on Jae Won and being rude to Ji Hyun. But on the last episode it showed a major change that never really happens in BL Dramas (Thailand) which was character development normally the mean and rude characters always stay mean and never change and always some how get a happy ending while in The Eighth Sense they all forgave each other and decided to support each other even if Eun Ji really wanted Jae Won back and how Tae Hyung bullied Ji Hyun and him and Jae Won got into a huge fight with Tae Hyung, but at the party they reconciled. I also loved how they really showed how Jae Hyun has depression because the actor is amazing for showing it. I also loved how even before and after the accident since the first episode it showed Ji Hyun and Jae Won are meant for each other and are destined for each other. I do feel that ‘The Story’ at 0:37 to 1:15 by Conan Gray is literally their song because when you read the lyrics it showed their story from the very beginning to now which is that they could never confess because in the end the world would destroy them. I really recommend this drama the show is amazing, like I wished I could rewatch it for the first time again because it’s that good.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
Truly one of the most beautiful queer stories i’ve seen
Everything about the eight sense is well portrayed and makes you feel a connection with the characters because they are realistic and have a story of their own. They focus a lot on character grow and how those people around us can help us overcome difficulties. Another remarcable thing about this series is that they express through their editing and their choice of colors, it was so satisfying seeing how jihyun was the light in jaewon’s world, i really love this series and hope to see more of them in the future.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

THE BEST KOREAN BL DRAMA TO DATE
Wow, this series has everything I could wish for in a drama. The heart spins and aches and whirlwinds.. it was too much and just enough at the same time. I really loved the entire concept and timeline. It felt so real and authentic from a BL series. The length of the episodes and all of the content within them. I have watched a good amount of Korean dramas but I felt as though this series had the most true to date feelings and emotions. Depression is not very well potrayed by kdramas in most scenarios but it was not this case with drama. It really doesn’t get better than this - highly recommend watching!! If you are looking for a new BL to watch or frankly any show to watch - make it be this one!!Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
Uma obra-prima!
The Eighth Sense mistura drama e romance, abordando temas importantes e profundos como saúde mental e autoaceitação. Os personagens Ji Hyun e o Jae Won são cativantes e têm uma química incrível, trazendo dinâmica envolvente à trama, enquanto lidam com questões de relacionamento e identidade com muita sensibilidade.A última cena do nono episódio é especialmente marcante, sendo um dos momentos mais emocionantes da série. A escolha da música The Story, de Conan Gray, intensifica ainda mais a conexão entre Ji Hyun e Jae Won, enquanto as cores da bandeira LGBT são inseridas de forma sutil ao fundo, criando uma atmosfera linda, poderosa e representativa. É o tipo de cena que permanece com a gente por muito tempo.
Esses detalhes fazem The Eighth Sense tão única e especial! A série realmente sabe como capturar a emoção e transformar momentos simples em algo inesquecível. Dá para perceber que cada cena foi pensada com muito cuidado, e isso faz toda a diferença. É maravilhoso quando uma história nos toca dessa maneira! Uma verdadeira obra-prima.

Everything a BL should be
This one heads the top of my list for 2023 - As a side note, there have been many disappointing bl's this year.These actors were awesome together - the chemistry was off the charts, their expressions were so emotional you could feel the love, the pane, the happiness.
The rest of the actors/actresses were also awesome.
The story line is very different from other bl's, and it is a really good story. I don't know who wrote this story but I hope they write more bl stories.
There were no side stories to interrupt the flow, no super annoying characters screeching & screaming. Although it is not a complicated plot, it is an interesting one.
The music was a bit unusual, but it fit and I liked it
The passionate scenes tastefully done, and I so appreciate a bl where the kisses make you feel like these two guys were in love, honestly they should give other bl actors some lessons.
The pacing was also perfect, nothing rushed, nothing boring.
I would love to see these two together again.

Absolutely wonderful!!!
Everything about this series is pure perfection. That kind will remain in our minds forever. The plot, cinematography, acting, soundtrack... simply superb!! What an incredible journey it was to follow this story! Each week I felt more involved with the characters' feelings and I was shocked at how easy it was to understand each one: their fears, their traumas, their demons... and at the end I felt my heart full of happiness and joy. Congratulations to the creators / directors, cast and crew and a special shout-out to Lim Jisub and Oh Juntaek. Waiting for another season, I'd love to follow this new journey of Jaewon and Jihyun.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
