The Eighth Sense (2023)

Both are korean productions set in a university setting, they cover first time relationship experiences of a freshman lead, and have an independent film quality to them.

Okay hear me out. Do I think "Eighth Sense" is better than "Our Dating Sim"? Yes. However, if you want a more condensed love story thats also very solid watch "Our Dating Sim". It's very sweet and also set within Korea.

they are both great shows! But they also both have some more heavy stuff in them, for those who like that in a show

blueming is so short but if you like the eighth sense so far, you'll feel like they give the same kinda atmosphere. i really loved blueming and miss it. the cinematography is quite similar as they both have beautiful landscapes and the beachessssss

Both deal with the weight of the expectations of others and the toll it takes to suppress parts of yourself to suit the people around you. Both have fraught familial relationships, though it's a bigger point in About Youth and not as heavy a focus in The Eighth Sense. They both have a nice, indie-style cinematography. The relationships are sweet and healing, both are about finding someone with whom you can find 'refuge'. They each have beautiful stories and a similar emotional weight and tone, though the Eighth Sense is definitely heavier overall. OSTs are a vibe.

Both are BL Korean dramas about two guys who are attracted to eachother but confused about their feelings. There's a bit of tension and hot and cold between them and they are both very amazing dramas. I needed something to watch while waiting for new episodes of The Eighth Sense to come out and A Shoulder to Cry On really fit the bill!

There is something very similar in the aesthetics of the two BL dramas. They both use harsh light and deep shadows to symbolise a problematic states of mind. Both dramas have a main character with an unresolved past that gets in the way of a new love.

This film is mentioned in episode eight of The Eighth Sense, and tells the story of a woman that believes that she is a combat cyborg and finds love in a psychiatric hospital.

Similar vibes and equally nice cinematography.
Also both are BL and set partly in university
(in the first part of Utsukushii kare the characters are still in school.)

both are BLs that are a bit dark and have university settings. both deal with trauma and have a main character struggling with depression.

Second season of Utsukushii kare with
Similar vibes and equally nice cinematography.
Also both are BL and set partly in university.

Both are korean bl dramas that deal with both relationship and mental health issues from one of the leads.

the way both the actors are logging for each other so so much .. and also it matches the quotes of the eighth sense that "no body love the right person.."

Both films depict a complicated LGBTQ+ relationship where one man is a bit elusive with his real desires while another man is madly in love with him/trying to win him over. There is a chick involved as well who is trying to win the elusive guy back over, and she gets in the way sometimes.

Both dramas explore grieving in a BL context so that makes them similar . This one mentions the death of the older brother of one of the protagonists.
