An Unique Korean BL Drama

As the title mentioned, this drama is awesome. The storyline and music are unique.

Jihyun doesn’t know how to surfing or swimming, he still joining the surfing society to learn to surf and meet his love, Jaewon. I think the drama compared surfing to boys’ love, both of them need to overcome difficulties. It is the first time they fall in love with a boy, and they are so confused to confess their love to each other. Luckily, they confirmed the feeling towards each other!

Also, the dialogue is really meaningful to the audiences, which inspire me to think about life.

In conclusion, I really love their interaction in the drama, they are so cute! I’m looking forward to the second season of “The Eighth Sense”. I hope the two main characters are willing to be cast for the second season. Keep it up! Thanks for giving us a masterpiece to us!

Probably the best BL ever

Everything about this show is magical. I am so glad that i watched it. Please give this show a try, you won't be disappointed. The characters will be with you for a long time. My most favourite thing about this show is probably the cinematography. The close ups, the little details, it's all so perfect. After a while you might even forget that it's a bl because you will see that they are two people falling in love. Not boys, but people...each having their own complex thing going on. I love how i can relate to the characters so much. I so hope that there is a season 2. And the last few lines of the show...it's a lesson that's going to be with me forever. Thankyou to all the people who were involved in bringing this masterpiece to life. Please keep up this good work. Thanks a lot.

Amazing chemistry and story

this was an amazing show, absolutely gorgeous to watch. The colors, the acting, the story itself, everything was perfect. the only minus point for me would be the "best friend" who's only here for the money of the main lead and I would gladly throw him out the window myself 😭 apart from that, the chemistry between the two main leads was mind-blowing, the girl best friend was very cute and relatable. even the ex girlfriend was not completely despicable towards the end. the depression part was very just in my opinion, too.

great love story, great friendship snippets, I highly highly recommend it

I like it even though there are a lot of things I didn't like about it.

For those wondering, this series has a *happy ending*

I think that this may be one of the best korean BLs of the year BUT,
compared to other BLs, this is a bit confusing for me. I felt like there are episodes that are cut in a weird way that made the story not flow so well. It sometimes made me feel like I was watching a compilation of clips rather than a series. For instance, there is a moment where they don't talk and then they just met on subway like that without any clear explanation (did he follow him?).

Another thing is that, I also felt a bit confused about Jae Won's character acting. There is a moment where he kisses so deep and there are times when he kisses like a plucking chicken. He also became a bit awkward after they got together. He says he doesn't mind what others say but he is also not as clingy as before. I felt like he got so much relaxed about getting together with Ji Hyun, in a romantic sense.

Lastly, I also didn't like how they just brushed of Eun Ji's and Tae Hyung's very very horrible attitude with a sorry. Heck, Eun Ji didn't even said sorry. Ji Hyun did, and that was very aggravating. I hope they recieved some kind of moment for character development where they really repented from what they've done 'cause everybody else had some kind of adulting change, and they didn' t. It was so frustrating. I also didn't understand that stepping back-stepping up game at the end. Hahaha.

HOWEVER, what made me like this series a lot is the cinematography. I felt like I was watching Blueming with a hint of that american BL feel. The colors and the first NC scene is so well directed.

Also even though the opening is a bit weird for me, as it felt like I was watching an opening of Baywatch, and there is even that weird guy holding a surf board, it grew on me. At the end of the series, I felt that it was not that bad.

I also like Mira and Ae ri very very much. They are on my top tier list of best female characters for BL series. They are just so true, sweet, and caring throughout the series that I would love to hug them and hang out with them very much. Don't forget about Jun Pyo as well. Though I felt like his role as a very great bestfriend was a bit brushed of by the story. I hoped they have shown that as well.

I really like these characters so much that it made the tenth episode great when Mira finally got what she wanted. It had me in tears. Because she really really deserved it.

Lastly, even though there is no closure about Jae Won's trauma, family and mental sickness, I liked it more with that. Because I think that there is no need to hurry to 'heal' and just slowly getting better is enough, which the end of the series really showed that. I also loved how they showcased mental illness in this story and how there is nothing wrong with seeking help. Though I also felt that the therapist became a bit unprofessional with her tone at the end.


Overall, I think this is a series that could've been better with a more smooth transition of events like those of Semantic Error or Dating Sim. Sadly, it isn't. So it may be a very good watch, and I like it, but this is not one of those that I might rewatch again. It is a feel good BL though so I recommend others to watch it.

one of the best in a while ❤

It would definitely be a mistake to think of this as a mere BL show, because it was much more than that.
The cinematography is breathtaking, the story is no more no less than exactly what it should be, acting is really good, intimate scenes are perfectly done...
I recently found out that this is an indie production, which sky-rocketed my respect for everyone who had a part in producing this amazing series.
I will be keeping an eye on what they all will do next.
I loved it and I'm almost certain you will too..

Best kbl

The best actors and chemistry, story, musical scoring, cinematography and everything is just sooo beautiful. The moment that i saw the trailer I already knew its going to be a great drama. The actors acting are so natural. Every scenes they have together is so captivating and intense especially when they look at each other, they have so much chemistry. I love that the story also tackles about mental health, trauma and grief, family, friends, school and their relationship with each other. I like jihyuns character so much, he has so much love, understanding and patience towards jaewon, which u can rarely see today. Dealing with a loved one who has mental health issues aren't easy. I hope everyone will watch drama because it really is so beautiful. Highly recommended.

Rushed ending without proper closures

The drama started great with a great plot and a promising storyline. The characters were developing properly and you could see why they were the way they are.
However, I feel like the last two episodes did not do justice to the remaining episodes. It felt rushed; a lot of dialogue was unnecessary and at times, there was an absence of proper closure.
The main lead never really talked about why Sae Won distanced himself. Even if it was implied, it would have been better had they talked properly once. A simple kiss and a night together, suddenly everything is okay the next day.
Sae Won's interaction with his therapist also led nowhere. A lot of times, it could be felt that the dialogues between them made so sense. I wish he could have had a proper discussion with his therapist about his issues and how they could be properly resolved so that viewers could feel the emotional maturity and forgiveness that arose in the main character.
During the whole show, it was quite clear that Sae Won's friend was a red flag. He was jealous of Sae Won's family wealth and never really saw Sae Won for who he was. Things took a serious turn when he was even willing to suspend Sae Won and got pissed when he didn't get a suspension. This kind of attitude doesn't come from a single incident. It's a result of continuous jealousy and an inferiority complex, which I think the writer should have addressed more. The fact that Sae Won and he patched up so easily in the last episode made no sense.
I personally also disliked the idea of suddenly hooking up Yun Won and Jun Pyo in the last episode. It's like no seniors can find anyone of their age to date or hook up with.
I absolutely loved and adored the character of Ae Ri. I think her character made the most sense till the very end.

I'm obsessed with this show. The acting was wonderful. I was specially impressed with the two main actors, but the entire ensemble cast is great.

The chemistry between the two mains is 🔥. The soundtrack is 🔥. The cinematography is beautiful and significant to the storytelling.

What i loved most about T8S is that the characters' sexuality is not the conflict or the main plot. These are people with problems just trying to navigate life, and they also happen to be attracted to someone of the same sex.

This is a drama that tells you a story of love and the importance of having a support system

I rarely write a review and if I do, that means I really enjoy it and this drama brought so much joy, love, pain, understanding and finally, acceptance.

The eight sense is a drama that will bring you to a roller coaster ride of emotions but overall will give you the satisfaction at the end. Also, this drama taught you the importance of having someone who can help you get through suffering, anxiety and depression as having a what you call, a support system will definitely lead you to happiness.

An amazing watch

Loved it immensely. The casting director deserves the raise. The chemistry between the main characters are amazing. The story is touching, performances are great, the indie vibes, the wonderful OST. But what is most important- it touches in all the issues which worry young generation - finding who you are, overcoming trauma, indescribable love which is infinite. And those visuals my god.. you can just watch it to see Im Ji Sub and Oh Jun Taek faces.. I am convinced that beauty will save this world. I am ready to rewatch it thousand times. Thank you, Directors.
