Especular.

Essa obra desde o primeiro episódio foi como um susto, eu não esperava que seria tão valiosa pra mim.
A fotografia impecável, sedutora aos meus olhos.
A história, totalmente surpreendente, me levou com as ondas do mar.
Os atores, a atuação de cada um foi como um cotidiano, com personagens preciosos, fizeram um ótimo trabalho.
A trilha sonora, como sou uma apaixonada por músicas, às usadas nessa obra me deixaram apaixonada, e a música de Conan Gray (um dos meus artistas favoritos) foi como um surto.
Toda a equipe fez um ótimo trabalho, essa obra definitivamente é uma das minha favoritas de todos os tempos. Obrigada, e parabéns. 💐💗

I’m in love with this masterpiece 

My first impression: it’s a cute love story between two university students. With every new episode the story develops well and especially the growing relationship between them both is beautiful.
Not only their unique chemistry towards each other but also their understanding for each other and personal growth is amazing. I rarely saw such a realistic and charming romantic relationship in other series. 
The Story covers every feeling well; from first love and growing into an adult, to the fear of losing an important person, the self-hate because of an incident and the forgiveness towards yourself and others as well as the missing and longing for each other. 
I don’t want to spoil something, but this series is not only pleasant and filled with happily light feelings. In my opinion, this is the interesting part of the series. Yes it’s more realistic than other shows and the way the producers show how individual and multifaceted a human relationship can be is amazing. 

The cinematography is beautiful and the music is well-chosen. 
The stunning visuals are an extra point. Even both main actors are newbies, they acted superior in their first project. I hope we’ll see them in other series soon.

Beautiful, refreshing, adorable

I just wrote a review but it got deleted so I’m gonna make this really quick. This bl reminded me of why I love bls. The progression, the love, the story was all so natural, so subtle, so beautiful. It was a creative and unique way to approach a rather cliche storyline. The two leads had amazing chemistry that just made the series whole. From the moment they met each other, the viewer can feel a connection established. Overall, this bl is really good and worth a quick binge! (I finished in two days)

Good but with some drawbacks

I did enjoy this and I was invested for most of it. The acting was great and both the series and the actors did great in portraying heavier subjects.

However, as someone else mentioned the editing in this was just terrible. It was incredibly hard to tell what was happening when and for one of the scenes (which was an important scene) I wasn’t even sure what was happening at all. It felt a bit like it was trying very hard to be “art”, which it absolutely didn’t need to be.

I enjoyed watching and I do encourage you to watch too, it’s short anyways. But to me this was not as mind blowingly great as some are making it out to be.

a masterpiece

This show has become one of my all time favourites! The cinematography, storyline, character chemistry and soundtrack - it was all so well done. The story is really well thought out and feels very different from others shows that I've watched before. "The Eight Sense" has definitely set up a new standard when it comes to kdramas for me. The actors never fail to show what their characters are feeling. Every moment feels very personal and honest. Though the mood changes a lot it doesn't stop you from enjoying the show to the fullest. Overall it's amazing and you should absolutely make sure to watch it! :)

My 2nd favourite list after Blueming

Honestly, i had a great expectation before the ep was aired but then there was alot of spoiler on twitter. I had to watch the eps immediately. And of course i enjoyed it very well. And would definitely comeback for it again whrn i miss it.
I highly recommend you to watch it. Its so good. 👌
This is my review so far. They want me to write 500 words. Damn it what should i say? This is really giving me essay exams. 😪 dont put me on pressure.
Anyways, make sure to watch it. Its such a good drama. I can't wait for the movie. Hopes we get season 2 along side.

It's one of the best BL series of 2023

I don't know where to start because it's such a good GOOD series. I haven't watched a series as poetic and artistic like the eight sense for a while. I hope it was longer though, but I'm so satisfied with everything about this drama. I love it and you should definitely watch it.

Here's the Lyrics fo " The Story" by Conan Gray

Let me tell you a story
About a boy and a girl
It's kinda short, kinda boring
But the end is a whirl
They were just sixteen
When the people were mean
So they didn't love themselves
And now they're gone
Headstones on a lawn
And when I was younger
I knew a boy and a boy
Best friends with each other
But always wished they were more
'Cause they loved one another
But never discovered
'Cause they were too afraid of what they'd say
Moved to different states
Oh, and I'm afraid that's just the way the world works
It ain't funny, it ain't pretty, it ain't sweet
Oh, and I'm afraid that's just the way the world works
But I think that it could work for you and me
Just wait and see
It's not the end of the story
Now it's on to the sequel
About me and my friend
Both our parents were evil
So we both made a bet
If we worked and we saved
We could both run away
And we'd have a better life
And I was right
I wonder if she's alright
Oh, and I'm afraid that's just the way the world works
It ain't funny, it ain't pretty, it ain't sweet
Oh, and I'm afraid that's just the way the world works
But I think that it could work for you and me
Just wait and see
It's not the end of the story

I'm addicted to this series. Officially.

Raw, captivating, and detailed. Within the first few moments of Episode 1, it becomes very clear that this is definitely not a show comparable to other Korean BLs that are coming out right now, or even in the past. The cinematography is far more in line with those of Sundance films, where the soundtrack and shots show the audience a clearly personal and exposed version of the human experience, which this series is already executing immaculately. Viewers can feel the uncertainty and strong pull between the two leads even at this early stage, as their aura is just brimming with curiosity whilst also giving the audience first hints at desire.

Alongside that, the emotions here are portrayed very clearly, as the atmosphere and actors blur the line between reality and this story. I cannot begin to express how refreshing this is, especially coming from Korean media, as in my experience, this kind of blunt take is more commonly found in Japanese BL/Yaoi films. Instead of a dark backstory having to be built up like is often done in other Kdramas, we are already experiencing the not-so-lighthearted portion through the doleful undertones foreshadowing what seems to be a heartwrenching experience.

The casting was also clearly done in a very detailed manner, as each main actor makes it truly believable that they are connected to their character, and we as viewers are not left to decipher what is being acted out versus what is being honestly felt and experienced. This, alongside the lack of filters and normative angles in shots, gives so much more depth to this series, setting it apart from others. These combined become the creme de la creme of why I have high expectations for this show and am very much looking forward to the upcoming episodes.

The best BL!

I really love this drama!!!!!
The topics addressed are important and were very well handled.
The actors chemistry is great and the acting is perfect ♡
Friendship, jealousy, envy, fear, desire and frustrations were portrayed in a very realistic way.
We need more bls like this. it was amazing to watch and follow every episode.
I'm sad that the first season ended.
Looking forward to see the movie and second season.
I highly recommend everyone to watch this drama.

Wanna feel something? Watch this bl

It's a 10 for me but are some stuff between the main characters that are left for interpretation, but it would have been better to be said out loud and communicated between the two.
The cinematography is captivating and the actors are creating such an unique vibe. For someone like me, who has a MILD obsession for bl's (I've watched +50), this series is bringing something new.
The beach scene in episode 6 is SO LOVELY AND DEEP. How the relationship develops and how human connections are formed is captivating and genuine.

Had a different image

I think that I had higher expectations because I've seen a few edits of The Eighth Sense that were really good. So when I finally started watching it, it looked different. Don't get me wrong, I LOVED it. I just think that in my head I expected this to be something almost perfect like Semantic Error or Love for Love's Sake. Maybe that's my fault.
Although it wasn't 100% what I was hoping for, I did have favorite moments like:
Jaewon's and Jihyun's trip, Jaewon opening up in therapy, Jaewon being comfortable with Jihyun and vice versa, Jihyun talking about Jaewon's behavior to the Disciplinary Committee and finally the moment that made my heart flutter... Jaewon going to see Jihyun while Conan Gray's "The Story" was playing. So cuteeee!!

THIS IS WHAT AN AMAZING QUALITY CONTENT IS LIKE

The whole vibe of the show from the beginning got me hooked , nothing felt rushed had more of an actual dramatic feel to it . The color grade chosen and the locations helped the viewer to feel a sense of connection and understand the emotion of the show and characters plus the emphasis that was put on the "desperation " of the roles of the characters is just absolutely praise worthy .
This was just sooo good ,gosh i just absolutely loved the directing , the aesthetic it portrayed felt so soothing .
