there's something so inherently queer in the way The Eighth Sense is being acted and ESPECIALLY in the way it's being filmed, and the cinematography and editing choices that keep taking my goddamn breath away.
the almost pain in the longing of short, broken glances to avoid being caught staring, the eyes darting over his whole face instead of lingering too long on his eyes or lips, the tentative broaching of conversation and testing of boundaries that only happens with that level of anxiety in a queer relationship
the constant fear of "what if he's not?" "what if i'm mistaken?" "what if i step too far?" which straight people rarely have to worry about, because at worst if you ask another straight person out you'll get meanly turned down, but if you're queer and you ask a straight person out the reaction could be SO bad, so you're scared and you're withholding but you're just WANTING
there are whole scenes where their friendship is clearly blooming and they both forget their sexualities and they're just having fun like they do with other people
and then there's always a moment where it THUDS back home again. the wetsuits. the showers. outside the bar. on the beach. where they're both so clearly HYPERAWARE of themselves and each other and feeling so exposed and so so scared but still desperate to be near each other
jaewon and jihyun are in parallel states of just YEARNING so badly that it makes my heart ache and my breath catch every time one of those scenes appears

The acting in this scene is absolutely mind blowing. The slow realisation that maybe the world isn't black and white like he's seeing. Maybe morality doesn't play much of a role. I think this is the point where he'll actually start seeing the story from Yo Han's POV. I haven't continued further but the production, the lightning, the music, the whole damn cinematography needs a standing ovation. I'm in absolute awe of this whole scene. The word Morality written behind Ga On because till that scene, he was the whole representation of morality but now his believes are slowly breaking. Let me go and shout about it some more djdjdkdn
