The Eighth Sense: The Series

It's not a perfect series, but they really tried. What I didn't like it was the sequence sometimes felt really off, but the rest was by far way better that most BL series out there. Both main characters were well portrayed. The chemistry was there, the longing, the desire, the doubt, the urge to be together, the sadness, and so on, you can clearly feel that because both actors really did their job and gave what they have.

Lim Ji-Sub surprised me the most; what a beautiful gem they got while casting him. The "micro" expressions you can see thanks to the careful angles they director decided to film him, that's from another world. The way that man can change his sad and empty expression by just a tiny hint of a smile, it's definitely not something lot of actors out there can pull off. I hope we can see him in more projects in the future.

Oh Jun Taek. Another great discover. If I'm not mistaken, his first role and he was castead out the streets. Regardless, he delivered and showed that you don't really need that much experience to give such a warm, beautiful and natural performance, which it's not that common in the BL industry, where most actors seems to be waiting constantly to say their lines in the most lame way and go home.

Should all BL's stories be like "The Eighth Sense"? Definitely, no.

But I hope, in terms of production, quality and performance, other productions could improve and deliver better series since the BL industry is growing more and more.

After finishing the series, you can clearly see that the production didn't "just wanted to ride the BL train trend"; they actually wanted to tell a story. Took care of details, and make the most out of their cast and resources.

Let's stay tuned for what other projects the actors & directors have for us in the future.

Words can't explain how beautiful this drama was. The storyline, the characters, the settings- everything. Everything about this drama will forever be comfort for me. The kind of romance that makes you yearn but also admire has been presented; both characters forever have my heart. I would watch this again a hundred times and it'll still make me feel touched. Particularly Jaewon's words in ep.9 I will never forget. Him saying everything will be okay whilst having struggles of his own :( thanks to this drama for keeping reality but still showing us something beautiful. Season 2... although s1 felt complete, I just want an excuse to see my favourite boys on screen again<3.

I don't remember the last time I wrote a review on imdb, if ever, but I loved this series so much that I wanted to leave some praise for it. When I first saw the trailer, I thought the cinematography looked beautiful and I liked that there was surfing involved, but I also expected a certain degree of... reservedness (is that a word? Maybe just "reservation"?) that seems common in kdramas. Which I realize is a cultural difference, so I'm not criticizing, but I loved The Eighth Sense for how visceral it is. There are tight closeups to let us see every flicker of a characters eyes, there's handheld camera work so we feel like we're walking the streets of Seoul beside them, there are awkward silences, there's sexual tension so thick it makes the audience a little nervous and fluttery. The characters feel fully-inhabited, and the music!! So many really fantastic uses of music, most of which I hadn't heard before.

Overall, I think this is an incredible series, and highly recommend it to anyone with an interest in romance and/or coming of age stories.

This is my all-time favorite BL in many ways (pretty much all). I think the thing that got the most out of the story is that it was all so natural and realistic that I, as a young gay man, could see myself there in both of them. From the looks, to the little touches, the first kiss coming out of nowhere, pretending it never happened lol, the courage to assume you're looking for a man and all the fear of coming out but at the same time not fearing anymore because love is more important, it's all very relatable in the story. As for the characters, they were very well built, Jihyun and Jaewon are so charismatic and adorable that already in the first episode I was in love with them and wishing them the best, I want to congratulate Jinsub and Juntaek for being able to bring these characters to life in the best way and make this love story even better. I must also congratulate everyone else involved as, as for BLs, probably the choice of soundtrack, cinematography, direction, dialogues, are all my favorites!! I have several scenes that I could spend the day talking about, but my favorite: Jihyun and Jaewon hugging in EP5, the scene was so sensitive, with the acting and directing, along with the perfect choice of instrumental that I couldn't hold back the tears. 10/10 DRAMA!!!

Every bl industry out there gonna have to try real hard to topple the crown of the eighth sense for best bl of the fkn century cos they're taking it. I wanted ended short and sweet but imdb isn't letting me so let's get it. I thoroughly and went I say thoroughly I truly and completely enjoyed this show. It's just for my liking. It's made for my liking. The actors are acting just the way i like it to be. Oh jun taek my guy is doing so much for his first acting gig like he truly amazing do not even get me started on lim ji sub he ate up his role like jae won is my fav character. Ok limit reached. Lastly thanks to the amazing writers and directors for giving us this show, it was truly worth it and made me the happiest on Wednesday I'm gonna miss it so so much. That season 2 better be in the works cos I miss my boys and I need it see more of them.
