It's one of the best BL series of 2023

I don't know where to start because it's such a good GOOD series. I haven't watched a series as poetic and artistic like the eight sense for a while. I hope it was longer though, but I'm so satisfied with everything about this drama. I love it and you should definitely watch it.

Here's the Lyrics fo " The Story" by Conan Gray

Let me tell you a story
About a boy and a girl
It's kinda short, kinda boring
But the end is a whirl
They were just sixteen
When the people were mean
So they didn't love themselves
And now they're gone
Headstones on a lawn
And when I was younger
I knew a boy and a boy
Best friends with each other
But always wished they were more
'Cause they loved one another
But never discovered
'Cause they were too afraid of what they'd say
Moved to different states
Oh, and I'm afraid that's just the way the world works
It ain't funny, it ain't pretty, it ain't sweet
Oh, and I'm afraid that's just the way the world works
But I think that it could work for you and me
Just wait and see
It's not the end of the story
Now it's on to the sequel
About me and my friend
Both our parents were evil
So we both made a bet
If we worked and we saved
We could both run away
And we'd have a better life
And I was right
I wonder if she's alright
Oh, and I'm afraid that's just the way the world works
It ain't funny, it ain't pretty, it ain't sweet
Oh, and I'm afraid that's just the way the world works
But I think that it could work for you and me
Just wait and see
It's not the end of the story

I'm addicted to this series. Officially.

Raw, captivating, and detailed. Within the first few moments of Episode 1, it becomes very clear that this is definitely not a show comparable to other Korean BLs that are coming out right now, or even in the past. The cinematography is far more in line with those of Sundance films, where the soundtrack and shots show the audience a clearly personal and exposed version of the human experience, which this series is already executing immaculately. Viewers can feel the uncertainty and strong pull between the two leads even at this early stage, as their aura is just brimming with curiosity whilst also giving the audience first hints at desire.

Alongside that, the emotions here are portrayed very clearly, as the atmosphere and actors blur the line between reality and this story. I cannot begin to express how refreshing this is, especially coming from Korean media, as in my experience, this kind of blunt take is more commonly found in Japanese BL/Yaoi films. Instead of a dark backstory having to be built up like is often done in other Kdramas, we are already experiencing the not-so-lighthearted portion through the doleful undertones foreshadowing what seems to be a heartwrenching experience.

The casting was also clearly done in a very detailed manner, as each main actor makes it truly believable that they are connected to their character, and we as viewers are not left to decipher what is being acted out versus what is being honestly felt and experienced. This, alongside the lack of filters and normative angles in shots, gives so much more depth to this series, setting it apart from others. These combined become the creme de la creme of why I have high expectations for this show and am very much looking forward to the upcoming episodes.

Had a different image

I think that I had higher expectations because I've seen a few edits of The Eighth Sense that were really good. So when I finally started watching it, it looked different. Don't get me wrong, I LOVED it. I just think that in my head I expected this to be something almost perfect like Semantic Error or Love for Love's Sake. Maybe that's my fault.
Although it wasn't 100% what I was hoping for, I did have favorite moments like:
Jaewon's and Jihyun's trip, Jaewon opening up in therapy, Jaewon being comfortable with Jihyun and vice versa, Jihyun talking about Jaewon's behavior to the Disciplinary Committee and finally the moment that made my heart flutter... Jaewon going to see Jihyun while Conan Gray's "The Story" was playing. So cuteeee!!

Beautiful cinematography

Wow I can’t believe I took so long to watch this. This is so tasteful and beautiful. The lighting, acting, camera effects/angles/scenes and the MUSIC were all so artistic and truly made this more than just a drama. You could feel the significance of the mood/energy in the scene with the cinematography and the lighting for the scene. The glances and stares between the two actors! The camera angles and scenes were amazing I loved the way they were executed.

There was some fine skills put into this show. It’s ten episodes and there was never a moment where I felt bored or dragging. The chemistry was real and tasteful between the leads. The scenes with the psychiatrist were so cool!!! Like when the camera was zoomed in on the silver balls on the table or on the fish tank for the conversation ahhhh so sick!!!!

Please watch. Thank you

Way better then most BL series out there but not perfect.

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 the directors 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.

O Oitavo Sentido é um bl que requer paciência e muita atenção para assistir.É um bl que conta uma história linda e verdadeira,o desenvolvimento dos personagens foi lento,mas no tempo certo,o bl faz quem está assistindo refletir muito sobre algumas coisas,como não podemos ser egoístas e temos que correr o risco porque a vida é uma só.No começo achei algumas coisas desnecessárias,como os cortes sem sentido,a qualidade de imagem e também algumas coisas bem aleatórias,mas aprendi a amar cada erro do bl,percebi que cada coisa fazia ele ser perfeito,também faz a gente ficar em dúvida se era melhor o casal terminar junto ou não.Amei como os personagens parecem ter amadurecido no final do bl,como aprenderam com os erros e que mesmo com medo eles tentaram.Antes eu tinha muitas críticas negativas sobre o bl,mas ágora que terminei percebi que não podemos julgar sem antes realmente ter assistido.

Esta serie es de lo mejor que he visto hasta ahora <3

La historia es tan profunda pero sin marearte, literalmente a veces no necesito la traducción porque la mirada que expresan los actores lo dicen todo. Cinematografía me encantó, las puestas, los colores, la música, la tipografía también está genial. De hecho que la recomiendo hasta yo la volvería a ver.
Espero que nos den más de la historia de los protagonistas. Me encanto.
Amo la serie, hablo de ello todos los días desde que se estrenó. Amé el final y el desarrollo de los personajes.
Ahora voy a extrañar los miércoles de The eighth sense.

nenhum gay morre no final :D

achei muito curioso um BL coreano e foi esse motivo que me fez assistir. gostei muito que o enredo não foi aquele típico "oh meu deus eles são gays e tem que esconder o relacionamento", mas sim "oh meu deus estou gostando de um veterano". adorei todas as cenas e como os personagens se desenvolveram, sinto que deveria ter mais espaço pra história ficar mais rica em detalhes, muita coisa se resolvou por conta e me deixou querendo saber mais sobre, porém gosto que foi rápido assistir ^^ espero que a coreia invista mais em BL desse tipo, serei uma ávida espectadora.
