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!! ??Considerați utilă această recenzie?

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.Considerați utilă această recenzie?
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.Considerați utilă această recenzie?

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!!Considerați utilă această recenzie?
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.Considerați utilă această recenzie?

Sweet Moments and Sneaky Glances
It was really sweet. I experienced intense emotions at times. I recalled the feelings I had when I first fell in love. The series is very good in terms of atmosphere and storytelling. I guess I'm getting used to watching mini-series more and more. If the episodes were longer, emotional scenes would be more extended, and there would be more events and that would be a good thing.One of my favorite things in any romantic series is the SIDE GLANCES. It made my heart flutter. I love freezing those scenes and watching them over and over again, and I absolutely enjoy jumping in my seat.
(If you ask me, it was precisely these glances that made the series 'We Best Love: No. 1 For You' so popular.)
What slightly bothered me was Seo Jae being excessively handsome. It may not seem like a problem, but it is. When someone is too beautiful, it feels like their position and power in the relationship increase, and consequently, they should be the one who loves more. There's a sense of responsibility loaded onto them because of their beauty, creating an illusion that they can have everything in life. This, in turn, leads to wanting more responsibility placed on them since they are so beautiful, hence more powerful, as if they should bear the burden.
While watching, my focus would occasionally shift to his beauty, and it somewhat disconnected me from the story. That's why I prefer actors with average looks, where charisma comes entirely from their character. Being taken out of the story by someone's appearance annoys me (she said and hearted Lim Ji Sub).
I thought Seo Jae was acting like he learned something in the military because I assumed he realized he was gay there, and I believe that would have been more fitting for the story. After all, he always took the first steps.
Continuing to be friends with a selfish, opportunistic, ready-to-betray-you, jealous, and passive-aggressive character like Jang Young!? That's something I would never do in real life. My baby Seo Jae also believes that this person ain't wearing a mask. ?

one of the best lgbtq+ series
It's a masterpiece. I fell in love with everything, the story the cinematography and the actors. It was so nice to see a character struggling with his mental health and speaking about it openly and dealing with his trauma. The Eighth Sense is probably a comfort series for a lot of people because even if we probably all cried it's such a comfort serie because it was just the perfect amount of sadness and happiness. honestly my favorite part is probably the friendship it was so nice to see jihyun so well surrounded with so much support. I also love the fact that they didn't make a big of the fact that jihyun fall in love with a man because it's just loveConsiderați utilă această recenzie?
