Firstly, this review might seem unfinished and not satisfying enough since this is just the raw feelings I've typed in, this is what i feel and I'm just thinking of it as instead of talking to myself am just typing it out. that's all :))

Story :
I absolutely love the way it focuses on everything and not just romance. The story was so well written, everything was portrayed so well. The concept is overall very good, i especially love how mental health is considered the most important in this, in most of the series I've seen I've never really seen anyone struggling with mental health actually reaching out for therapy but in this Jae-Won is not someone who just whines about being depressed but he actually find ways to help himself, i appreciate that. i love all of the different concepts and scenarios this story has such as life of a countryside boy in Seoul, college life, life of a freshman, surfing, making new friends and anything and everything. The smooth flow of the story was very satisfying and it never failed to make me feel all the emotions the characters are having. I also loved how in the ending everyone was just happy, Jae-Won resolved everything with his friends and his ex, Ji-hyun also resolved everything with the seniors and also i felt like no character was just left as if they were only there to carry on the show, everyone got what they deserved whether its good or bad and its just the necessary feelings lingering. The story had so much depth and each character was explored so well. Overall this has set my standards so up high and as a bl fan who is overly fond of Korean bls, I'm so proud of how far we've come.

Acting / Casting :
I could go on for years about how their chemistry was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. You could feel the raw emotions and pure love through the screen. Every emotion they felt is automatically what we felt too. The way their eyes speak louder than any word could ever do and how they are so damn good at expressing everything on their faces. gosh I'm really going crazy rn i could never put it into words about how beautiful of an acting they did right there. It was truly mesmerising. Hats off to the cast fr I freaking love you.

music :
This is the part where i start crying. I'm usually not someone who notices the music while watching something but for this i could swear on my life the music did such impact its literally not explainable. the music did such great work in conveying many emotions and overall always worked in setting the mood right. Of course the conan grey reference had me rolling on the floor with tears streaming down my face. I'm a huge conan grey fan and this felt as if my two worlds have collided. Thank you so much for that.

Rewatch Value :
I personally would need 1 sit watch to grab myself together. since, for the most part, i watched it while it was ongoing, i feel like i missed out here and there so a quick 1 sit Rewatch would be the best option for me. I'd recommend you to do the same as well.

overall:
I knew it from the first episode this series would shake up my whole world and just as i thought, it did. I would NEVER be able to put into words how much of a masterpiece this is but lemme just say I absolutely love this so damn much. It was absolutely perfect and beautiful to every bit.

although I wished for 2 more things, i hoped that there would be a scene where Ji-hyun tells his boss about his boyfriend but I think I'm quite satisfied with her and Jae-Won's meeting, second is I hoped there was a scene where Jae-Won let's his therapist know that Ji-hyun was not in fact just a friend and how he is finally happy. Other than these I'm very very happy with this.

lemme just list the things i loved about this real quick,
i loved their chemistry, how their eyes spoke, the whole sea related set up, Ji-hyun's friends, Jae-Won and Yoon-Won's friendship, the way Ji-hyun turned into a sarcastic till sass-ball after the accident, how in the end everyone got what they deserved and everything was sorted out, the pure aesthetics and the filmings, the simple details they focused on, the holding hands, the hugs, the way Jae-Won went "I'm happy because I finally have someone whom i can call my boyfriend", how Jae-Won wanted to be absolutely clear that they were now dating to avoid any confusion for anyone, how both of their real friends knew what was up with them, I never expected Ji-hyun's best friend and yoon-won will end up making out but i was so happy for them, how Jae-Won and Ji-hyun didn't mind being obvious, the amount of support, the conan grey reference omfg I'm crying and basically just every bits and pieces of this had me in love.

Overall the eight sense has officially made it into my top 3!!
thank you so much and i love you <33
