A Masterpiece! Sheer Perfection!

I do not use these words lightly but this series is as close to perfection as one can get. and does show that you can have a good story, awesome acting and have a BL all under one umbrella. You do not need to compromise. This series is so much more than a BL or a love story. It is a story of sensing and knowing what is going on with the one you love and feeling them and knowing them as well. It is as if their ‘eighth senses’ are intertwined. Even in its darkest time, it never seemed lost or hopeless as their kas had once been touched and they were bound together - inexorably. This story could have been so maudlin and melancholic; yet was not. It was dark for sure, every broody. But it felt honest and promising.
Unquestionably this is one of the finest Bls for the year 2023 and not to be missed.

THIS IS WHAT THE BL INDUSTRY NEEDS

i usually don't leave reviews under bl dramas cuz there's nothing much to write abt but this drama is different. firstly their chemistry is off the charts. they can act without dialogues and the message is conveyed. cinematography, dialogues just– the standard.
the music suits the vibe of the drama so well. you can connect with the characters, even the friends esp jihyun's don't feel like a filler role but like a character who has some presence.
has been a long time since a bl matched the standards of ITSAY & TMS and prolly made new standards. overall well done, well made drama!!!

PS I WENT THRU 8 STAGES OF GRIEF WATCHING THIS BUT IT WAS WORTH IT 😭😭

Good enough

I have read so many people saying this is the best KBL of all time. It’s NOT.
Although I say it’s not, it’s still pretty good. The best thing about this series is the dialogue, cinematography and music.
The acting was pretty good overall and the dialogue felt like how people communicate in real life. It touched mental health, I’m so over this new trend of mental health this mental health that because a lot of people have started using mental health as excuses for their weakness/shortcomings and it has taking away from people who are actually really suffering from serious mental illnesses/ health. And in the case of this series Jae Won was genuinely suffering from it in a bad way and I am glad that we got to see him work through it with a therapist.
The cinematography was top notch and most of the close up shots were so beautifully done. I loved the beach/water shots it was beautiful.
The music selection here was sooooo good. Hence the only 10/10 I gave.
Why then did I say this was not the best KBL. The series felt very choppy. The transition was way too horrible, It cuts from one scene to another, sometimes you don’t know if it’s a flashback or current or even a dream, and honestly sometimes the series was not making any sense. But the leads had mad chemistry and their relationship was cute and all, so there was that.
I personally won’t take someone like Jae Won back after everything he did even though I understood why he did so. I honestly get the trauma but what if something happens again, then you will shut down and shut me out again and what go back to your ex again. I watched on VIKI and someone in the comments said they would advice Ji Hyun to stay the hell away from Jae Won, I understand the sentiment but while I agree on not continuing the relationship I don’t agree with him staying away, I think he should just be only friends with him but that is my opinion. Plus I hate when a relationship feels like it’s only on one person’s terms and timeline which was the case in this relationship. Jae Won pursed him 1st, kissed him 1st and then ignored him afterwards. Then the Un-fateful beach trip was also on Jae Won’s timeline and even after the unfortunate incident, he alone decided to shut Ji Hyun down to “protect him”.
Their getting back together was also on Jae Won’s timeline.
The two best character was the boss lady and Ae Ri IMO.
The 2 ladies were awesome plus their acting was really good.
My best scene was the classroom scene in ep10 between Ji Hyun and Ae Ri, I tried to be fair to this drama in my rating. I was originally going to give this 6/10 because of the choppy and bad transitions of the scenes but I decided against it and was instead going to give it 8/10 but that Ji Hyun and Ae Ri ep10 classroom scene alone made me add .5 so my overall rating is 8.5/10.
I didn’t love this series and I liked it enough but not enough to rewatch.
So rewatch value is 5/10.

Soooo good

The main characters' connections feel so effortlessly real and natural—it's exactly the kind of BL drama I've been searching for, something that feels genuine and is just beautiful to watch. Unlike some BLs where characters can be overly toxic, caught up in pointless love triangles, or pushed through ridiculously forced narratives, this one truly stands out. Sure, there were a few moments in the plot that kinda bugged me, but honestly, it's no big deal. I can see that this drama stands out from the rest, and it didn't spoil the whole experience for me at all. Super glad I stumbled upon it

Parfois, une personne suffit à changer votre perception de la vie...

Vous savez ce moment où vous venez tout juste de terminer un drama et vous n'avez qu'une envie, le recommencer ? Pas nécessairement pour capter tous les détails manqués du premier visionnage, mais parce qu'il est d'une telle justesse et d'une émotion si brute qu'on ne demande qu'à le revoir. Et c'est exactement ce qui se passe avec The Eighth Sense.

Il ne s'agit pas d'une simple romance universitaire. Ce drama renferme bien plus qu'on ne peut le croire et toutes les thématiques qu'il met en scène sont abordées avec intelligence.
D'un côté, nous avons l'adorable Ji Hyun. Un étudiant effrayé dans une ville beaucoup trop grande qui voit sa vie devenir très différente, une fois sortie de sa petite ville rurale. De l'autre, le charismatique et meurtri Hae Won qui revient de son service militaire obligatoire. Il accuse encore les répercussions d'un passé qu'il ne peut oublier. Chacun va devenir le pilier de l'autre. Le duo fonctionne ensemble, mais aussi individuellement. L'histoire ne tourne pas autour de la romance, bien qu'elle soit un fil rouge important.
Ji Hyun devient le phare en pleine tempête de Jae Won. Tandis que Jae Won devient la boussole dans la ville de Ji Hyun. Et c'est beau !

Difficile d'ignorer une des thématiques les plus importantes : l'exploration de la santé mentale. Traitée avec respect et pudeur, ces moments délivrent de beaux messages. Notamment le fait que la guérison est un processus qui prend du temps et qu'il n'existe pas de recette universelle.
C'est une véritable histoire qui prend vie, pas seulement un tranche de vie. C'est l'histoire d'une guérison, d'une adaptation dans un monde inconnu, d'une découverte, d'une aventure, d'un amour naissant et vivant.

Et tout cela sans jamais imposer une morale forcée ou sans essayer de nous convaincre. Inu Baek (To My Star) signe un projet incroyable dans lequel on aime se perdre. Malgré un montage parfois déroutant et des ambiances pas toujours subtiles, The Eighth Sense est une vraie pépite dans le K-BL. Assurément l'un des meilleurs jamais vus pour ses personnages, son histoire, ses messages et bien plus encore.

Bref, c'était magnifique !

MASTERPIECE

Sarò diretta nel dire che secondo me è uno dei bl coreani più completi mai visti. Seriamente fra tutti i bl coreani che ho visto, questo è l'unico ad essere di una quantità discreta di episodi ma soprattutto a durare tra i 30 e i 40 minuti, di solito durano sempre pochissimo; inoltre ho notato come solitamente facciano andare la storia molto veloce senza avere tempo di approfondire mentre in questa serie ho sentito come se avessero sfruttato a dovere la potenzialità della trama.
Non c'è nulla da obiettare, la trama è bella e ben fatta, ti prende e vuoi sapere sempre di più, la cinematorrafia e sopratutto il coloring sono stupefacenti, il panorama era sempre adatto e io stessa mi sono sentita molto coinvolta nelle scene grazie al coloring, infatti ho notato che cambiavano le tonalità di colore in base alla scena e alla sua gravità, per esempio nelle scene più tristi i colori erano più scuri, quasi bianco-nero, invece, nella scena del loro viaggio i colori erano più accesi proprio in nome del loro sentirsi vivi e felici con l'altro e poi ho notato un botto il coloring nella scena in cui finalmente si riuniscono, in quel bacio i colori stavano impazzendo, non c'era un'unica colorazione ma mille, erano un'esplosione di colori così come il loro stato d'animo, manifestato anche attraverso il bacio che per la prima volta ho sentito avesse dei sentimenti, appassionato ma anche alla "stavo morendo dalla voglia di baciarti".
In questa serie tutto è stato fatto a dovere e in base a ciò che succede, tutto punta sul cercare di immedesimare lo spettatore nella scena e nulla da fare, ci sono riusciti e non poco. Per non parlare della bravura degli attori, mi hanno fatto essere dannatamente empatica.
In sé la storia è molto difficile e non credo ci siano abbastanza parole per descrivere quanto è stato bello e significativo per me avere l'opportunità di guardare questo masterpiece.
Ovviamente, come in tutte le serie, ci sono stati personaggi per cui tutt'ora porto infinito rancore e rabbia e personaggi che invece ho amato con tutta me stessa; poi come sempre ci sono state scene da togliere il fiato, scene in cui è successa la stessa cosa ma in negativo e altre molto tristi, diciamo che quest'ultime sono state prevalenti nella serie ma sarò sincera dicendo che è giusto così, loro hanno tanti problemi e tante situazioni, soprattutto Jae Won che nonostante tutti gli anni passati ad andare da una psicologa, tutte le medicine, TUTTO, continua ancora ad essere oppresso dalla vita. Tutto ciò che è successo si addice perfettamente a quello che sono, che provano, a tutto, per me non poteva andare diversamente.
Se proprio devo criticare qualcosa posso dire che mi è dispiaciuto non si abbia avuto tempo di trattare tutti gli argomenti, mi avrebbe fatto piacere vedere se si sarebbe potuto risolvere qualcosa nella famiglia di Jae Won, magari anche una conoscenza genitori, un altro viaggio e le mille attività che Ji Hyun ha nominato. Per questo e per la bellezza di questa serie posso annunciare che VOGLIO UNA SECONDA STAGIONE. LA PRETENDO.
Per concludere consiglio vivamente questa serie, si soffre un pò ma ne vale la pena, assolutamente.
Non credo di essermi mai sentita così per un bl coreano perchè l'ho sempre detto, troppo corti e nulli, invece The Eighth Sense è seriamente pieno, tranne per il mio volerli vedere di più felici, ma per il resto entra sicuramente a far parte delle serie che amo molto per la loro cinematografia (e non solo ovviamente) tra cui ho assolutamente "I Told Sunset About You" e "Vice-Versa".
Guardatelo e non ve ne dimenticherete mai, prendetevi cura di voi stessi e vivete una vita senza rimpianti.

Victorian motivated struggles

A very profeddional made BL show, typical for Korean productions in general nowadays (hallyu). As they had been since long.
The accident and the end of Ep.6 was disturbing. A cliffhanger and 1st peak from where the story develops further on. And what followed in Ep.7 + 8 revealed slowly what we had been hoping for ... BUT ...
Jae Won´s behavior reminds me of an on and off love affair I had being in a position like Ji Hyun. only not being a novice back then. The surfer scene is similar conservative and mirrors the same toxic masculinity like soccer ... but why is rugby but so different?
Another aspect in the show is portraied brilliantly, the old feudal born senior / older towards freshmen / younger members in Korean society and the demand for authority by seniors even if the don´t have any ... Too the fatefull antifeminism especially portrayed by Tae Hyung. Actually the Korean society is still thanks to Konfucianism and Evangicals a very conservative one. And they too have a president now who is a pronaounced antifeminist ...
Yoon Won as the "tomboy" and Ae Ri are well portrayed as the progressive part of the Korean society, while Eun Ji is the psychopathic like bitch queen.
Jae Won ladden with psychological problems and high parental expectations is well portrayed as the fast learning Ji Hyun, country bumpkin crash landed in a highly competive Seoul accademic society.

very good acting and the story flows really well, it looks very natural and it is not like a typical Korean drama. The chemistry between the two is very refreshing and good. I really hope this series succeeds because I feel like this is gonna be my fav bl drama. The story is very simple and I really like it in a way, it is very relaxing to watch and I love the vibe. And the length per episode is just perfect. I would definitely recommend it. it was the first drama that make me feel this way, every other bl series is just too short and this series being long is very blessing to the viewers.

just beautiful.

this was the most beautiful bl, not only by cinematography but storywise as well. the romance was so deep, it was so much more of a serious bl and i loved that! it didn't only focus on the romance, there was a lot of it focusing on the characters themselves and their struggles which I LOOOOOVEED. something other bls need to take notes on, it really fleshes out the characters and makes them that much more real! again the cinematography was amazing. scenes were shot so beautifully and the quality was just amazing. the whole surfing plot was TO DIE FOR. i love surfing and ocean aesthetic so i loved this. such a beautiful and respectful way of talking about mental health and depression as well, i've never really see a show do it so good and so real. also LOVE the how the side characters were actually accepting, it was just so sweet. all the side characters were really good too, they felt like real people and not just there to assist the main couple. love my supportive queens yoon won and ae-ri.

ugh this is just the most gorgeous produciton. yes their love wasn't a perfect cute bl love, but it was raw and real. watch this if you haven't it'll change your life.

I think I've officially found my favorite bl

I loved loved loved this drama, mainly because of its level of authenticity. And realism. There are ten episodes that focus on the story of two characters, who fall in love little by little, but it also focuses on their individual stories, especially Seo Jaewon.
What I found most special about it was the way their romance was portrayed.

Watching it, you could feel the tension and the characters really falling in love, which I really appreciate in romances. I've always followed Thai bls and they lack that, most of them at least. The lack of authenticity, the exaggerated, funny and cute way of expressing the characters' love. There's nothing wrong with that, of course, but I personally like this kind of romance better. It was something simple that we could tell even by the way they looked at each other. That's why the actors did an excellent job too. Their chemistry was amazing.

The editing choices were often not the best, although I realize that most of them were for cinematographic and artistic purposes. However, some of them didn't make sense, which I wouldn't exactly point it out as a serious issue.

Otherwise, I think this drama should have had either full hour episodes like regular dramas, or more episodes. Otherwise, it would have been good to have a second season that further developed Seo Jaewon's story, his depression, his relationship with his parents, etc. It was more of a secondary plot, although fundamental to the story, but it would have been interesting.

Regardless, I RECOMMEND IT. Please watch.

Perfect. Simply perfect.

I am speechless. I never expected a show to hit me that hard. I was laughing, crying, worrying... What a perfect piece of art.

The cinematography, the scenery, acting, and the incredible music... It just fits together. The team who worked on this series knew what they were doing. They knew when to play music, and when to let the scene and visuals speak for themselves.

The acting and connection is nothing short of amazing. I sensed the pain, the happiness in the actor's eyes. Such a beautiful story. I don't think there can ever be another "Eighth Sense". It was a one of a kind masterpiece that I will never forget.

What a wonderful story about love, loneliness, trauma and forgiveness. I have nothing but kind words to all the people who worked on this. Thank you so much.

Best bl. A must watch.

This is one of the best bl and best series in general ever. Its just perfect. I recommend watching it without hesitation. The character developpement is so well done. Like you dont always agree with someone's behavior but you understand it because of their story. What i also really appreciated is that there wasnt so much cliche. Like the "top" who's tall, strong and always manly and the other one who is weak and shy and cute and girly, no . They were both really cool and not "too manly" nor "too girly", just themselves.
