The Eighth Sense" is a binge-worthy series that had me glued to the screen, and I'm grateful for that. The show delves into some traumatic arcs, which I'm relieved I could handle better by watching it in one go..

The story follows Ji Hyun, a new student from a peaceful rural town, as he navigates the bustling city life of Seoul. At university, he meets Jae Won, who has just completed military service. Ji Hyun joins the surf club to get closer to Jae Won. Their shared love for surfing brings them together, and as they spend time in the surf club, their feelings for each other deepen. However, after a shared kiss during a surfing trip, Jae Won acts distant, leaving Ji Hyun puzzled about their connection. We soon learn about the trauma Jae Won is coping with through glimpses of his therapy sessions. As their friendship grows, Jae Won opens up his heart to Ji Hyun, and they start a relationship. But a surfing accident triggers Jae Won's regression into his trauma, and he ends up ghosting Ji Hyun. The series takes us on a rollercoaster of emotions as we witness their journey to reconcile and get back together.

What sets "The Eighth Sense" apart is that it is its portrayal of flawed characters, depicting the complexities without relying on major redemption arcs. Instead, it shows us how people deal with their imperfections in a realistic and manageable way, reflecting real-life struggles. The ending is semi-happy, steering away from unrealistic rainbows and unicorns, leaving room for interpretation and a potential season 2. "The Eighth Sense" captivates with its heartfelt storytelling and a touch of authenticity that keeps you emotionally invested until the very end.
