They go from kissing to Jae Won completely ignoring Ji Hyun (it's still not clear to me exactly why that happened)…
What other reason could there be? At any rate, it makes sense for a straight guy to have to go through a process, so I have no problem with a character portrayed this way.

I agree. I think Thai Bls favor mass quantity over quality and it’s evident in some of their most recent releases.…
Yep, excepting Moonlight Chicken I also drop all Thai BL's. They are silly and have bad actors.

I also noted that this flip was too fast. The show skipped a whole process of acceptance. We needed to see him go from ghosting to gradual acceptance. Instead, he just flipped from kissing, to ghosting, to kissing again.

Well said. The formula that makes the BL genre successful with its core 16 - 24 year-old female demographic can…
Oh no , I am double the demographic age at 50! LOL. But I am a female so that part of the demographic fits me.

I was not sure but now watching more episodes of this, unfortunately I think the two main characters/actors feel…
I have also noted the heavy drinking. It's not just Korea either, but all the Asian countries. I watch a lot of Asian film, and note that all the East Asian countries have a culture wherein they constantly go to drinking parties.

I like that Jae Won had an issue seeing himself as gay and had to go through a process of self-acceptance, because it's more realistic. So many BL's have a guy flip on a dime with that old trope of "I'm not really gay, just gay for you." Sorry, but it's a big deal to go from fondling soft, pliant, smooth flesh with mounds of fat deposit in the chest to fondling hard, muscular flesh with facial hair plus hairy arms, legs and underarm hair .

Agree with you 100% and it's what's frustrating me a lot about this show even though I'm really enjoying the tension…
With really short shows I always suspect scenes were left on the cutting room floor. Our Dating Sim, for instance, was only an hour and a half total, and had some leaps where a scene felt missing. But this is 10 eps of 40 min each. That is 7 hours of narrative space so they have the time to develop these things. But, like you, I am enjoying it so much that this is a minor criticism.

I mean a person can be a total angel with their loved ones and be a complete bitch with others. It's not something…
Actually, it does mean something when someone dates trash. Indeed, it means a lot. It means they are a poor judge of character.

They were together for 2 years which is a long time to see things. Even if a person is nice to you, yourself, you can see how they treat others. I had a boyfriend who was sweet as sugar to me, but I noticed he was rude to waitstaff and people he thought socially beneath him. I lost all respect for him based on how he treated others, not how he treated me. At any rate, I guess the screenplay needs a bitchy ex-girlfriend to generate other plot points, so I'll ride with it. But I really hope they don't feature her too much.

I agree that it is very difficult to know the characters inner thoughts, Ji Hyun is maybe possible to get an idea…
Yea, Ji Hyun played it perfectly by not pushing him or demanding an explanation . But sometimes Ji Hyun is too passive. For instance, I wanted to see him stand up to the ex-girlfriend from hell, or at least tell Jae Won that she had harassed him at his place of work.
Replying to realkikyo Apr 5, 2023
Yes indeed! How can a person be like that honestly.
Yes, she's awful. But I mean it when I said it doesn't say anything great about him either because he chose her. I get annoyed with men who don' t recognize a bitch because they are blinded by a pretty face.
On The Eighth Sense Apr 5, 2023
It doesn't speak well of Jae Won that he dated a girl with such a rotten personality. It means he chose a partner based simply on a pretty face. I know he split with her because she cheated. But the reason should've been that she's a vindictive, cold, calculating bitch.
On The Eighth Sense Apr 5, 2023
Great episodes. I am loving it as much as everyone else. But I do have two teensy tiny critiques.

First, I wish there was a clearer prompt for Jae Won lunging at Ji Hyun for that kiss. He was saying, "Hey, you finally called me hyung" to which Ji Hyun says, "We are supposed to call seniors....." and Jae Won cuts him off mid sentence for a kiss. It was an odd sentence to prompt a kiss. And Jae Won's facial expression showed no special interest at that moment either. They at least should've had Jae Won staring at Ji Hyun with a look of longing for a moment before the kiss.

Second, we are missing development from when Jae Won was ignoring Ji Hyun and experiencing "gay panic" to his suddenly accepting the relationship. We need to see what process Jae Won went through to arrive here. After all, there are 10 eps of 40 minutes so there's plenty of time to show the development of gradual acceptance. As it stands, it felt like a scene is missing.

Came here to ask the same question 😭
The person who replied said she is on the East Coast, so I assume she means American time.

Someone earlier said 11pm gmt+8
Someone said it's 11:00 am tomorrow on the East Coast. That makes sense.

Ok, 11:00 am makes sense. Thank you!

But if that's an hour before midnight, it's basically a Thursday release, not a Wed. I am on the East Coast, so I wonder if it's earlier here.

Wait, do you mean 11:00 pm tonight? Or tomorrow night? If tomorrow an hour before midnight, then that's basically a Thursday release, not a Wed. Also, I just checked Gaga and it's not there.
On The Eighth Sense Apr 4, 2023
The new eps are tomorrow. Anyone know what time it's going to drop? I have GagaOOlala, but not Viki. I hope it's on Gaga, otherwise I'll have to wait for KissKh to pick it up.
Replying to yas Apr 4, 2023
also there’s no reason why his ex should be immediately wary of ji hyun unless there’s history there w/him…
Yes, she knows something is there, but I don't think she realizes it's a sexual attraction. She is an ex girlfriend and as such would be assuming he's 100% hetero. But she's getting the pix bit by bit. I can't wait to see her cast to the side when he goes full in with Ji Hyun.
