The Eighth Sense (2023)

the way both the actors are logging for each other so so much .. and also it matches the quotes of the eighth sense that "no body love the right person.."

Both films depict a complicated LGBTQ+ relationship where one man is a bit elusive with his real desires while another man is madly in love with him/trying to win him over. There is a chick involved as well who is trying to win the elusive guy back over, and she gets in the way sometimes.

Both dramas explore grieving in a BL context so that makes them similar . This one mentions the death of the older brother of one of the protagonists.

The tones of both dramas are similar, even though both plots are significantly different. Both are Koean BLs but are not your typical BLs. They explore the darker sides/tones of relationships in general while also including some aspects specific to LGBT relationships, such as social stigma. For me, I find that the best points of the dramas are not the relationships itself but the underlining currents surrounding the relationships.

Two angsty coming of age stories about teens/young adults, where they allow the silence speak for itself in certain scenes. The Eight Sense is a BL. Blue Spring is a bit darker with more violence, no romance.

BL where two people hold back their feelings for one another because of confusion and societal standards. One guy is a bit more open about his feelings towards the other who is more reserved. Plus the actress Jung Seo In plays a restaurant owner in both.

These both have gorgeous cinematography, angst, uni students still haunted by traumas of their past, beautiful symbolism, and queer love.

BL where feelings are suppressed because of fear and confusion.

Both shows tackle characters coming to terms with their identities and feelings for one another while finding comfort in another person. They both deal with characters who struggle with things beyond their control.

While Miseinen primarily focuses on the characters high school years who struggle with their home lives/parental expectations, The Eighth Sense follows two university students and focuses more on mental health/living as an adult. (This is my thoughts ofc. I'm being very loose on the themes here...)

Both shows made me cry and felt like they covered pretty heavy subject matter. Which is why Miseinen reminded me of The Eighth Sense. ^_^

Surfing is the common theme between both stories, since both of them have main characters who are surfers. Both of them are also beautiful LGBTQ+ stories about love between two young men and the complications of falling in love with someone from the same gender.

Korean BL stories about two guys in love. They face challenges like societal discrimination and injury. The theme in both is; will they end up together despite everything?

-LGBTQ+
-Korean language
-Hot and cold behaviour
-Protective and considerate ML

Both are korean BL dramas where the ML had PTSD. He struggles to form deep connections with other people because of this.

it's not similar it's simply much much better so if you liked this circo ass show you'll love the eighth sense

There aren't many or any similarities in both shows however, the cinematography are almost on par. The Eighth Sense is more like dealing a trauma.
