he's not dead don't worry!!

That scene when his side piece tells him how his wife didn't pass the interview and he celebrates out of happiness and relief at her rejection, while it's meant to be a funny scene, I started tearing up like how could someone be so vile and heartless towards their own spouse??? I know they didn't start out their relationship in the best way but was there really no love or affection between them from all these years of building a family together??? Even as I write this my heart hurts for her and other people who are in relationships like this

This show is so healing, I adore shows that centralise the idea of food bringing people together, another BL that did this concept really well and had a lot of heart is What Did You Eat Yesterday

cheating??? nooo omg one of the tropes I hate the most I really hope it isn't true T_T

wait omg spoil me too

Wait omg that was actually intense (especially episode 6) we basically got 99% of the content shown in the trailer including the opening scene in episode 1 showing Jihyun drowning (not dying). But like what kind of sick motherf*cker would add that after we got to see jaewon and jihyun uhhh 'consummating' their relationship (which came out of nowhere might I add) like I was all giggly and shit and then suddenly i'm bawling my eyes out, what a rollercoaster of an episode!

Also, I've been seeing theories floating around about the weird progression of their relationship and people saying it might not even be really happening and instead is just one of the MLs' imagination. And honestly, I'm starting to understand why. Like the cinematography in the different scenes is so different. For example, when jihyun is with ae ri before joining his seniors for drinks, the scenes look very harsh and clear (indicating that it's reality - I'm not versed in cinematography but this is how I would best describe it). Whereas, the scenes which started with jaewon picking jihyun up to go to the beach are shown as kind of dream-like and very soft almost like it's not even really happening in real-life, and instead is a fantasy. I really hope I'm wrong about this T_T

Just two more weeks of episodes left, and other than the questionable missing pieces of plot, I'm obssessed with this drama and its portrayal of mental health and queer relationships, I love how it doesn't shy away from uncomfortable topics and canonically shows a person with severe depression who is getting professional help and medical treatment for it!

not jaewon doing a kiss and run

Usually I'd gatekeep these sites but this show is to good to not share the joy lol

for poor folks like me https://kisskh.me/Drama/The-Eighth-Sense?id=7240&q=true

The way I went from binging part 1 of duty after school to straight away watching ep 3 of the eighth sense... my heart is beating like crazy but for different reasons lmao

who confirmed it omg I don't wanna get my hopes up unless it's for sure T_T

What movie is this?

I feel like people on MDL are just so unnecessarily selfish about their ratings it’s like a glorified letterboxd to be honest because the amount of shows/movies that imo deserved a higher rating on here is immense. Like what kind of criteria are we actually basing these ratings on?? Like the eighth sense deserves at least a 9!

I don't think the people complaining about the people disliking the cheating trope in this show realise that it;s not just pure 'I hate cheaters blah blah blah' that's annoying the majority but in this context, it feels like it's somehow taking all the worst stereotypes about bisexual polyamorous people and putting them in a drama. Like yes of course everyone has flaws, and there's always reasons behind why people cheat, but in this case shuhei makes it clear that he's bisexual and that he can be with mutliple people at the same time, but also says that he's not a cheater??? I'm confused by that because while he's preaching all that, he's still actively participating in an affair with a married man??? I'd love if someone can tackle this with me and hopefully articulate it better than I did because it's doing my head in lmao

I found it weird how annoyed she was by jihyun interacting with jaewon, like everyone else around them didn't question it and saw their interactions as a senior helping his junior adjust to uni life but she saw beyond that so I think you're right in the regard that jaewon must've had his awakening prior to meeting jihyun. Jihyun also seems comfortable with the idea of being with another man since he became aware of his feelings quite quickly and acted on them instantly by basically stalking jaewon and putting himself in jaewon's eyesight. I'm also getting some vibes from jihyun's roommate, I feel like there's history there but maybe I'm just being delusional lmao

I feel like a broken record saying this but I'm so impressed at the quality of this drama I feel like it's out of the league of other 'BLs' like it shouldn't even be called a BL at this point. It's more like a queer coming of age story, and while the campus love trope's been done before this one feels original and heartwarming, it's a lot like blueming and itsay in that regard actually. The tension between them is completely wild especially since there's only 2 episodes out so far. I just hope it doesn't follow the path of it's predecessors of starting out very strong and eventually fizzling out towards the end. If done right all the way through, this could easily become one of the best shows in terms of gay media.

What the duck honestly felt like a fever dream it reminds me of dark blue and moonlight because they're both basically soft porn with 0 plot lmao I'm so mad I'll never get back the time I spent watching them

You’re wiser than me haha although I’m not a fan of dramas with cheating tropes and/or closeted partners this one has me hooked and no matter how many times I say I’m dropping it I keep tuning in each time a new ep is released. 😅

I’m not talking about their relationship from a sexual point of view though. And you’re right, people in poly relationships usually have their own understanding of their role and whatnot, but I feel like in this case they started out on the wrong foot and they way she found out about them is unfair to her because Yuki did cheat on her, there’s no way to dress that up. So while she is doing something selfless because she loves him, I do feel like it’ll come back and bite her in the butt because she might realise that loving him isn’t enough to keep their relationship the way it is. I do hope I’m wrong and that it somehow works out between them but relationships that start out with a cheating partner rarely do.

and I know he also confessed to her that he likes her as well while living with them but how am I supposed to believe that he's being genuine when he knew yuki was married and still asked him to date him I'm so conflicted T_T
