Amazing, beautiful, cinema, life changing, breath taking, never seen before...
and etc and etc. You can't run out of praises for this BL. Korea really surprised me with this cause I didn't think we will be getting another amazing BL out of them after Semantic error and TMS. The plot, characters, ost and everything is just simply amazing. I didn't think that this would be this great. I haven't seen an trailers or was even excited for its released but when I picked it up cause I was bored and I was simply just left amazed. The plot is so interesting. A boy who lives under a mask saved by a country bumpkin who doesn't know anything. I loved how they found each other and simply feel in love with each other slowly. I loved the presentation of depression and guilt and how their isn't any cliches. I loved how their isn't any misunderstanding and the main lead tries to talk to the other main lead. I loved the Cinematography it has an indie vibe. I loved the chemistry between the actors. The actors really well in portraying these characters. I loved how the actors are so comfortable with each other and didn't shy away from a kiss. Another that KBL is infamous for are the dead fish kiss and this series ate and left no crumbs. I keep saying Love a lot because I just love love and love this series. This is literally now my favourite KBL of all time. I never thought I will see the day Semantic error and TMS will be dethrone but I am glad it did. It means that KBL is finally moving in the right direction. I can't believe we are living in this ear. Simply amazing, a million out of 10.Was this review helpful to you?
Im Really Obsessed With This drama
Amazing.. It is insanely done ,was well written and shot beautifully.I really love this drama and the cast..The chemistry between the actors is so good..In every scene they have had together thus far you can sense a feeling of yearning between the two; the tension between them is very much there. JaeWon and JiHyun have already had more scenes than I can count on my hand that made my heart flutter. Every look between them has a spark. The chemistry between them only grows more and more after each episode passes. I lost count how many times i rewatched this drama..It would be 100000/10 for me..Was this review helpful to you?
One Of The Best Korean BL’s Out There !
I’ve only recently got into watching Korean BL’s so not to familiar with them as much as Thai or Filipino ones but I was caught by surprise with this series. The story feels more realistic than a lot of BL’s I’ve watched. It deals with mental health and trauma which is something I love to watch because it’s so realatable. The one thing that stood out to me was the cinematography of the series. It had a lower budget feel but it worked with this kind of story in my personal opinion. The leads had a very easy natural chemistry with each other it had a very slow burn feel to me were nothing felt too forced and it was just building behind the scenes. If your looking to start watching BL’s this is defiantly a good way to ease into BL’s unless you wanna watch one that is filled with so much cuteness. This one is mild which is nice because BL’s should have variety of times and not follow the same exact formula.Was this review helpful to you?
Best BL show ever!! We need season 2
The Eighth Sense is probably the best bl series I've seen so far. How Jihyun and Jaewon won me over, how the directors were able to get us into story doesn't happen much these days. The story, the dialogues, the lights, the music, the cinematography, everything was perfectly portrayed. The series has both happy and cute moments and of course bad and sad moments, but that's what I love about the series. I hope we will see a sequel, because both the main actors Ji-sub and Juntaek, the directors, but the whole team of people around the series deserve it! We need more Jaewon and Jihyun moments as couple!Was this review helpful to you?

“The Eighth Sense” — A Love That Drowns You, Then Teaches You to Swim
𝗥𝗲𝗳𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗯𝘆 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁I thought I was signing up for a gentle, slow-burn romance between two university students. What I didn’t expect was a raw, soul-shaking dive into grief, mental health, unspoken pain, and a love that doesn’t always come wrapped in clarity—but in courage.
𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐎𝐜𝐞𝐚𝐧 𝐁𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐦
The sea was never just scenery—it was the story. In it, Jaewon and Jihyun found comfort, thrill, and ultimately, tragedy. The same waves that brought them closer also tried to pull one of them away. The ocean, like their emotions, was deep, untamed, and mercilessly honest. And when Jihyun almost drowned, so did my heart.
𝐉𝐚𝐞𝐰𝐨𝐧: 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭, 𝐘𝐞𝐭 𝐃𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠
Jaewon was not your usual BL lead. He was messy, broken, unsure. His silence screamed. His guilt was so heavy, I felt it through the screen. But instead of romanticizing his trauma, the show let him sit with it. And through therapy, breakdowns, and grief, we saw him trying—slowly, painfully—to live again.
𝐉𝐢𝐡𝐲𝐮𝐧: 𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐔𝐧𝐚𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐝
From countryside boy to resilient survivor, Jihyun’s journey was quieter, but just as powerful. He didn’t just fall in love; he chose to love—even when it hurt. His tenderness, his courage to return to the person who almost lost him, was the kind of strength we rarely get to see portrayed in male leads.
𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐖𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐔𝐧𝐬𝐚𝐢𝐝 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐬
What struck me most wasn’t the kisses, the gazes, or the tension-filled moments (though YES to all of that). It was the silences. The fear of saying too much. The pain of saying nothing at all. “The Eighth Sense” made space for the unspoken, the awkward, the unresolved. It was beautifully, brutally human.
𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐃𝐨𝐞𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐓𝐢𝐞 𝐈𝐭𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 𝐍𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐥𝐲
There’s no “happily ever after” here—just two people, scarred but still choosing each other. The show doesn’t lie to you: trauma doesn’t vanish, and love doesn’t fix everything. But it can hold your hand through the darkness. And sometimes, that’s enough.
𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗧𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀
The Eighth Sense didn’t ask to be perfect. It asked to be honest. It took its time showing us that grief and healing can coexist. That pain can sit next to love. And that sometimes, the bravest thing isn’t running toward the light—it’s staying when you want to disappear.

I felt this story with every cell of my body
This is one of the best I've seen in a long time. This story is very balanced in every sense for me.Thank you so much for creating such a masterpiece. I experienced a whole palette of emotions, I understood everyone in this story.
Especially Jaewon.
Thank you for covering the topic of mental states, I am very familiar with this. Jaewon's character has a special place in my heart, as does Im Jisub, who is brilliant actor. I was drowning in his facial expressions, somewhere in his casual acting, somewhere it became hard and uncomfortable for me, somewhere I was ready to scream with happiness. Thank you. And thanks to Oh Juntaek, who played a character that really gave me a feeling of comfort, simplicity, and warmth. I was very pleased with how his character grew. If I were in Jaewon's place, I would also fall in love, find my safe place and want to keep it out of trouble)).
I liked the other actors and characters too. They can think, make right or wrong decisions, and they look real. And thanks to the insanely talented actors of other roles for such a masterful transfer of absolutely all the emotions that immerse you in the atmosphere, make the story frighteningly realistic.
Sometimes I forgot it was a movie and sometimes I forgot how to breathe. I think to feel this fullness, it is worth watching this series alone in the evenings.
This is very important to me and will remain in my heart forever. I can say this series saved me and prompted a lot of thoughts. As an artist, I found inspiration in it. And as an artist, I want to note how beautifully creators approach their story and what messages they bring to us. This is art.
I want to say a lot about filming and directing too. How wisely silence is woven into the dialogues, how skillfully the frame, color, light is set. The music fit in perfectly. For me personally, "Wetter" has become a very very important group. I used to listen to them, but as soon as I heard that their songs were included in the storyline, I started listening non-stop. They heal me.
If we talk about the chemistry and romance of the main characters, I can say that this is one of the most incredible, best, sincere, warm and at the same time intense relationships that I have seen. I can't find enough words to express ALL the LOVE for this couple who became my oxygen. I just enjoyed how the characters fell in love. How sensual their chemistry was, and how harmoniously they interacted despite the fact that they are quite different people. How differently they looked at their relationship because of life circumstances. But they knew for sure that they were falling in love, they clearly resolved all issues. This is a rather rare occurrence for characters to adequately perceive everything that happens between them and not resist feelings.
Dear creators of this masterpiece, I look forward to more projects from you! Thank you SO MUCH for this series. It was revolutionary. I don't know how long it will take me to recover from this movie. I highly recommend this series to watch! And not only from the point of view of bl (in this genre, this series generally occupies one of the first places now, in my opinion), but also from the point of view of the film itself. Bravo!

A Hidden Gem
This series is a hidden gem. The cinematography and soundtrack are stunning. They add so much to the tone of the series. The story is quite interesting and it deals with mental illness in quite a realistic way. The performances are really strong and the chemistry between the leads is really good. My only critique is that after the ‘incident’ the story kind of lost its way a bit and became less polished and not quite up to the standards of the earlier half, but overall I really liked this bl and I liked that it was a little different from other bls.Was this review helpful to you?

A very unique Korean series
This show has such a unique atmosphere that I haven't seen in other Korean dramas before. It may be the way it's edited, or how the music is used to elevate certain scenes. There's just something very special about it.The story, the characters, the dialogue, it all feels so realistic. I was very impressed by the way the show handled mental illness. The cinematography is beautiful, and the chemistry between the main leads is so good. I really wish to continue following Jae Won and Ji Hyun on their journey, so I can only hope for a second season.
