The Eighth Sense (Movie) (2023)

10/10 South Korea stepping up their game!!!

10/10 South Korea stepping up their game!!!
OMG!!!!! Where to begin? And what can I say that hasn't been said already? I don't know I just want to talk about it because I need to cry about it somewhere.
This show deserves all the praise and more and I feel tempted to write one of my essays again but l'll refrain. I just NEED to say that Korea is really out there taking the bl genre seriously, finally, with great plots, performances, and chemistry.
"Our Dating Sim", "Unintentional Love Story" and "The Eighth Sense" are all from this year and they're all so good, I've watched them all more than once. None beats this one though.
This is the best bl show of this year so far and I bet it will be unbeatable!
Plot - 10/10 Performance - 10/10 Chemistry - 10/10 Love scenes - 10/10 Photography - 10/10 Directing - 10/10 OST - OMG BEST EVER!! There's not one song, instrumental or not that doesn't fit perfectly in every scene, and I'm literally obsessed with it.
I just can't say it's the best bl of all time because I'm emotionally attached to "Semantic Error" and can't move on, but this one is a very close second.
Watch it. Watch it again. Give it the love it deserves!
Did I just write another essay? Aish I'm sorry

dont miss this gem!

I am writing about this after watching it for the second time. It is so lovely, carefully crafted, well directed and written.
There is a quiet authenticity about the acting and pacing that will sweep you in like the sea, that is such a metaphor throughout. Grief, love, loss, sex, confusion, friendship, it's all here. And everyone is easy on the eyes in the way that real people are. The kind of people you fall in love with, not the filmic fictions.
When I think about the seminal BL series that go beyond the earlier ones we all love and know, like Bad Buddies, SOTUS, etc there are 4 that come to mind who have taken the genre farther in the last few years. This is one of them.
KinnPorche blew it up, Last Twilight opened it up to different realities and handicaps that weren't supernatural and with grace, Moonlight Chicken featured one of the great famous pairings that was unafraid to show them aging and inclusively welcomed a new young pair of future superstars, while telling a story about the real Thailand, and this series which is unfraid to be quiet, painful and so real. I urge you to watch it. You won't forget it.
