Good BL story: original in its form with an artistic vision, hindered a bit by editing issues
This drama is more than a BL, it is a also a story about mental health, fear, trauma, growth and friendship....The romance is of course important but there are a lot of additional interesting topics approached by this series. I also appreciated to have a variety of female roles, not only bad-shit crazy woman stereotype but also sane and even good female parts.I enjoyed the evolution of the main relationship within the plot. My main regrets are coming from the fact that some of the elements put in place over the course of the episodes (regarding the traumatic event faced by one of the character and his family, as well as the career topics and so on...) were left on-the-side and not really addressed by the end. I liked the attempt at life-lesson from the show but I was also a bit frustrated by the conclusion as there was some undeserved forgiveness warranted to some shitty characters.
Regarding the casting, I found the chemistry between the two males lead quite good but not necessarily sizzling hot. Still, they felt comfortable in the most intimates scenes (much less platonic than the ones in common South Korean BL story) and they made their relationship really believable. Both are a bit outshined by the secondary cast which does an amazing job in emotional but also fun scenes...Those secondary roles carried in a way the plot: some were showcasing the best of friendship and love, while some were the worst of it, and it was really well-acted overall.
The atmosphere of the series with its almost muted colours and tones, as well as its sensitive OST, set the show apart artistically-speaking. It is a bit unequal in terms of production quality: there are some beautiful filmmaking and directing but at the same time some strikingly odd editing choices (between the episodes and even sometimes between scenes). The shift between sequences can feel a bit erratic and jumpy, with the viewer not being sure how the characters reach directly point B from point A...
I would recommend this to people looking for an interesting and artistic BL story set in a university background with some surfing. If you enjoyed drama such as "I Told Sunset About You", it might bring you similar feelings.

Heart achingly wonderful
Amazing acting, direction, cinematography, story. Everything feels so real and true. European and Korean cinema collide in an explosion of colour music and emotion … a must watch. Don't hesitate watching … your emotions will be turned upside down and inside out!! The actors are so realistic in their portrayal of the characters. Cannot recommend highly enough! You will watch on repeat and the story will settle in your heart and memory. Congrats to the directors for such a heartfelt story.¿Te ha parecido útil esta reseña?

Must watch!
The chemistry beetwen both characters is great, they went through a lot before finally being together (spoiler). I love that they got an happy ending, the actors are great, they choose the right character for the lore. Please keep in mind that I'm HIGHLY selective when it comes to watching BL, so when I'm recommending it, it really is great & has amazed me.¿Te ha parecido útil esta reseña?
My greatest viewing experience in years
For the past few weeks, I've been living with The Eighth Sense because it's a series that won't leave you untouched. The amazing acting the performances and the chemistry is amazing. I have included their joy and pain in my thoughts and heart. Their story is beautiful and painful. Don't know how many times I've rewatched the episodes and certain favorite scenes that made my heart flutter or fall deep and heavy. Then the series is beautifully imaged and fantastic music. So make sure to watch it!¿Te ha parecido útil esta reseña?
Watch it
It's amazing just bare through - cry, laugh enjoy it.The best KBL on the market currently the cinematography is beautiful, use of colour perfect. The chemistry is really something. I love how it brings up real topics and doesn't make light. Nothing has kept me gripped like this show has in a long while (and I watch too many shows). I love the how the different relationships are explored between the characters, it has the right amount of awkwardness and naturalness.
P.s. I hate Jaewon's friends except Yoon Won

BEST KOREAN BL OUT THERE
I never write reviews, but with this one i just had to. This is by far the best korean bl i've ever seen! The story is so real and raw and the actors feel so real in this one. Also the chemistry was absolutly amazing!!! I also loved all the side characters.I really hope other Korean BL's learn something from this but i reall think that this one is always going to be unique.
It really was perfect all the way through. I loved every second of it.
The soundtrack is also amazing and the intro always made me feel something 🫶🏻

I don’t think many people understand how important the eighth sense is. This is not just a typical bl show. bringing out mental health awareness, trauma and normalising therapy from professionals. And their messages..I’ll be forever thankful for the whole team. the characters are so well portrayed, jaewon holding on to life and jihyun’s maturity is also so comforting to see.I just also wanted to praise our Jisub for being such a good actor. Just wanted to inform you that you won my heart. Thank you so much for making jaewon came to life. Hoping to see more of your acting.
All in all the cinematography, the plot, the chemistry, the acting all I can say is wow CHEF KISS

Not your average BL
For once this BL Kdrama was unique and entertaining. It just felt like a regular show about two people falling in love and facing life together. It was nice to watch the leads falling in love and overcoming their personal obstacles. The side characters weren't annoying and added value to the overall story of the drama. You rooted for the main couple not because of the sexual tension the director built but because you genuinely felt their love for one another and how they cared for each other. It was nice to see some passionate kissing with really good cinematography. Overall if you want to watch a good BL with a story and away from the BL stereotypes I would recommend this!¿Te ha parecido útil esta reseña?
1000% WOULD RECOMMEND
HONESTLY THE FIRST BL I HAVE LOVEEEEED SOOOO MUCH!!!!It was a really intresting story. I really liked the cliffhanger in the middle of the story.(It was soo sad it left me crying for an hour or two)
The cinematography was ON POINT. The lightning changes when a character was sad/depressed or cheerful.
The acting was very good. The chemistry was SOOOOO good.
I loved that that they showed how trauma could effect someones WHOLE life and relationships.
Especially they showed therapy and that he actually wanted help and got it. I love when shows show good sides of therapy because it could save someones life.
I would rewatch it thousands of times and honestly will.
I have recommended it to many of my friends that don't usually watch romance stuff and even they have LOVED it.
So so sooooo good I will never stop talking about it.
