The Eighth Sense (2023)

THIS BL IS LITERALLY PERFECT

it was worth every minute of my time. I absolutely loved it. what got me the most is the vibe that it gives you it really makes you feel the same way the characters feel. for example (spoiler ahead) before jihyun got into the accident you kinda notice how the vibe was more cheerful but after jihyun got into the accident the vibe was gloomy and upsetting. and that really made me feel all the emotions. it was portrayed beautifully.

and I noticed people saying that the ending was rushed. but it really wasn’t. people would like this bl more if they actually comprehend and payed attention to what was happening bcs since my first watch this has been my fav bl ever since it came out.

I could watch this bl on repeat and never get bored. it is beautiful.

It really was emotional

"Why did she gave everything a ten?" this question is simple to answer. The show has been incredible from the start I already felt many emotions and also could relate to the story a bit in personal ways, the music has been a main part, I was able to feel more emotions because of the songs especially the song in the last Episode at the end was really catching and made me so emotional because what they were saying really matched the vibe of the music. I wouldn't recommend to listen to it before finishing the show bc you need this feeling for the first time everybody who still wants to tap in the song name is "Keep Exploring" by TUPAK, and it's an incredibly emotionally song! Since I don't want to spoiler, I can just say this show is a masterpiece and deserves more recognition! The acting was on point and I really really liked this story, over all I think this show deserves the rating 10/10.

Perfection

First and foremost I just want to say, kudos to everyone involved. This is the best bl I've ever seen and I don't know if anything is going to ever compare. Every actor portrayed their character amazingly, even for the actors who had to portray unlikable characters, they were so unlikable because of how amazing the performances by the actors were. I could go on and on praising the writing of this show, especially episode 6. I heard so much praise about the show so I had high expectations and those expectations didn't even compare to how highly I think about this show after watching it. The show was shot in a way that felt like an indie movie which I enjoyed a lot. I love how these characters actually feel like real people who have lives outside of the moments you see within the show. And to put the cherry on top was how mental health was portrayed. Jaewon's depression wasn't taken as a joke or as someone that should be frowned upon and I love the therapist representation.

Emotionale Story wunderschön erzählt

Die Charakteren sind allesamt super interessant und auch die Nebenrollen besitzen Tiefe.

Die Story ist schön und zart erzählt. Mit den Gefühlen der Zuschauer*innen wird gespielt, aber auf eine gute Art und Weise. Ich dachte, ich bin schon abgehärtet, aber bei dieser Serie musste ich weinen. Das zeigt aber auch, wie authentisch die Schauspieler*innen alles rübergebracht haben und wie gut die Arbeit auch hinter der Kamera ist.

Ich kann es nicht richtig beschreiben, aber diese Serie hat einen sehr internationalen Stil. Die verschiedenen Stilmittel und Kameraführungen machen sie sehr künstlerisch.

MASTERPIECE

Jihyun - nejroztomilejší člověk na světě
Jaewon - nejvíc depresivní a sexy gay na světě

Jezis tohle bylo tak skvělý. Ta vizuální stránka pico a ty barvy. Nádhera. Do toho ten soundtrack úplně mood v každé situaci. Jedno z nejlepších korejských bl.
Jinhyun a Jaewon byli úžasný. Ani bych neřekla, že je to jejich poradna hlavní role. Měli neuvěřitelnou chemii uz od první scény. Jaky sexuální napětí mezi nima bylo.
Ta bed scéna v 6.díle? Nechápete. Nádherná scéna. Takový jemná ne jak třeba Cutiepie. Tohle bylo umění.

7. a 8. díly pro mě ale neexistuji. Vše mohlo jít jak po másle, kdyby neexistovaly tyhle dva díly, kdy sem trpěla s Jihyunem. Jakoby jaewon a jeho trauma, ale zachoval se dost sobecky, Takze sem byla rada ze se pak probral.

10.díl bylo to nejlepší na světě u ty epizody sem se křenila od začátku až do konce. Brala bych 2.sérii. Nebo víc epizod jen tech dvou jak jsou spolu a milujou se a jsou sladcí.
Doporucuju. Jen vynechejte 7.a 8.díl. To vám bude ještě lépe.

This show is healing for me

I wanna say so much but I feel like I'm eating my own word. I'm so overwhelmed. This show is just so realistic mesmerizing healthiest. I don't find any word or syllables from dictionary to describe this. I want to see them more but honestly I don't want more season because it's end so beautifully but if they decide to make more I'm totally up for it. All the episodes are so good and every episode have its own charismattic story. I cried laughed get emotional, overwhelmed. And it's so relatable with my own life. I loved All the character some of the character can be little annoying but in the end they have their own story so I really loved it. I feel like it is one of the best bl drama not just in bl world but best drama ever made. Good luck and best wishes for All the cast and crew members. Bless there work. ✋✋

"gorgeous excellent unbelievable amazing" ~choi san of ateez

For me, this is 2023's first queer drama to ace all categories. This drama clearly took itself seriously and everyone involved went above and beyond to make one of the most beautiful queer relationships I've seen in a while. Not only is the plot more realistic and intense than most queer dramas, but the acting is done perfectly to match. Despite the fact that both main characters play difficult roles, they never feel unrealistic or out of touch. The scenes never get too intense to the point where you just feel miserable and the editing and comedic timing also play a huge role in that.

Overall, if you tend to look down on a lot of queer stories due to their inability to create realistic and genuine romance, this is the drama for you.

A Powerful Story of Love, Loss, and Healing

This has been the most visually stunning and plot heavy BL series that I have seen so far and it was a pleasure through and through. Nothing about it spells like a regular BL series until we reach the last episode and that is just to tie all the things up neatly. This series deals with darker themes around trauma, death, betrayal and self-discovery. These are all important topics that are often overlooked in BL dramas, and I was glad to see them tackled in such a thoughtful way.

The story revolves around Kim Ji Hyun, a freshman studying arts who embarks on a new journey in bustling Seoul, and Seo Jae Won, a popular student and son of a wealthy businessman returning from military service. Through the journey of these 2 characters, we get to see the picturesque beauty of the beaches and the noisy capital city with its variety of restaurants and pubs.

One of the things that makes this so special is the way it tackles the topic of mental health. Jae Won is a character who is struggling with trauma and depression, and the show does a great job of portraying the challenges he faces. It is refreshing to see a BL series that addresses these issues in a realistic and sensitive way

Beyond the breathtaking sights and sounds, the heart of this series lies in the compelling story of these two characters. We find Jae Won suffering from a trauma for which he is seeking psychiatric help and has been suppressing his true feelings and emotions to appear to be someone that people like. On the other hand, Ji Hyun is going through his own journey of discovery in this new city. As their paths cross, Jae Won finds comfort in the company of Ji Hyun while Ji Hyun himself is trying to make sense of his feelings towards Jae Won. The story moves along at a slow pace thereby giving you an opportunity to immerse yourself in to the lives of our main leads. You get character introductions, back stories and their flaws and inhibitions.

The creators of this series have made some artistic choices and most of them work in their favor. The lighting style used here has been exceptional in creating the mood and atmosphere. In multiple scenes you will find the character faces have been lit up in different colors giving depth to the scenes. During one scene at the beach with our main characters, the color scheme changes completely. There are multiple drone shots which used specifically to end a scene and although it works in many cases but sometimes feels a bit overdone. Similarly, we find excessive usage of hand-held camera with shaky footage. In fact, we get a sequence of drone shot followed by an establishing shot to shaky cam.

The performances by our main characters have been phenomenal. Jae Won's emotional wounds are vividly portrayed, and Ji Hyun's longing is beautifully conveyed through his eyes. The exceptional performances are undoubtedly one of the series' greatest strengths.
In conclusion, The Eighth Sense has set new standards on how to make a BL series with a good storyline and strong performances with visually appealing cinematography. It stands as one of the best BL series of 2023 thus far, making it a formidable contender to surpass.

One of the best BL!

Since I've watched lots of BLs, I don't get impressed easily. But this show stole my heart.
Thankfully we've got LONG episodes and the storyline is really impressive. Not only it's a cinematic masterpiece, but I also love how it portrays raw emotions and deep topics.
The actors were lovely and every emotion they displayed so well that I believed them as if they really went through it.
Also, the chemistry between them was fantastic! Thankfully we got characters that have emotions and not only cute and emotionless ones.
And finally, I can't forget about the background music, OST. I love when BLs have good background music and in this one, it was SOOO GOOD, that I needed every episode to have Shazam in hand and add the songs to my playlist.

Overall, it was really pleasing experience and I look forward to rewatching it. I recommend watching it since the quality of this one is amazing. And I could say that it is one of the best ones I've watched through the years.

Art House BL

The Artsiest of Art House Films and the Sliciest of Slice Of Life Dramas had a BL baby. Every other BL I’ve watched has been a happy (for the most part) RomCom, dispensed in 10-20 minutes episodes full of seratonin. The longer episodes here intrigued me, and they were definitely needed for the deeper story. While there is a “happy ending”, I would absolutely not call this a happy drama. I appreciate what this Drama was trying to do. I just don’t know if, for me, it quite achieved. There were 2 characters that I found absolutley unlikable, and they tried to “redeem” them in the last 10 minutes which was just - Uhg. I do have to say- The OST is outstanding. Bottom Line: give this a try if you’re looking for a Korean BL that isn’t all sunshine.
