So Korea really said... A show where GOD THEMSELF put a curse on two men, keeping one of them alive for 300 years, in order for them to date again.
Tumblr media
And if these TWO MEN don't date, one of them will die.
I don't know who wrote this, but I would like to applaud them personally

I just watched Love for Love's Sake and I fell in love with this show. The way they showed us what love is in a sensual and accurate way. It is care, support and mutual respect for each other's feelings. It is the ability not to impose your love but to make it known. It is the way a loved one looks at you while you do not see. It's how he keeps fighting even when you push away. It's the fact that it's not enough to just love, you have to be able to receive that love in return.

F U KOREA!
HOW DARE YOU?
Hear me out....
How can you put out the amazing BL's this year in only the first 4 months of 2023? Really!? Are you trying to kill us? What I am supposed to do with the rest of the year?
I have receipts!!!

I will admit that Individual Circumstances disappointed me a bit, they never addressed hoodie-gate and the kisses were a bit....cold.
But the rest!
And this isn't even all of them. These were the ones I watched.
What else can they possibly throw at us?

There were a couple more, but these were the poignant ones. I'm glad food wasn't forgotten for the sake of romance.

Oh no, I love them. Look at this happy go lucky boy who's working so hard and this so-sad young man waiting for him in an alley with the saddest eyes. Doomed. @absolutebl Korea brings a second couple guaranteed to break my heart and hopefully put it back together.

Deceased. Doomed by the narrative to love them. Doomed by the narrative to want to save them. Oh no.

The Eighth Sense final thoughts
first of all I need to give this BL a 100000000/10. I don't think I have ever been this impressed with a Korean BL after "Semantic Error"
When the BL just started I rated it on "Mydramalist" and I immediately gave it a 10/10 after just 4 episodes. Now I usually don't do this because rating a drama before it ends is just a bit fast. I think the way they filmed this was brilliantly done, like I loved every aspect of it. I don't know much about making films or I am not artistic in any way, except for writing maybe but The entire BL was shot in such a pleasing way.
Now the thing that I loved most about the way they made this, was the color scheme and I think a lot of watchers can agree with me on this. The way Jaewon was mostly dark/sad tones because of his depression/trauma that he was in and the way they gave Jihyun the light colors, to show that he was the one that would "save" Jaewon out of his dark state, it was just brilliant and something I also noticed is that they started matching their clothes at certain moments. Anyway it was so pleasing to watch.
Now going to the characters, Lim Ji Sub as Jaewon, this was a brilliant decision. I didn't really know JiSub before so I was very surprised to see his acting, which was just amazing. The way he portrayed Jaewon's depression, I don't think I have seen this with a lot of actors, I mean you could see it, feel it in every viber that he was broken inside. The way he was wearing a mask around his friends, it was clear as day and the way his world changed the second he met Jihyun was amazing.
Oh Jun Taek as Jihyun was everything. I like to applaud him especially since he really is new to the acting scene. You couldn't really tell at all. I loved how Jihyun was very composed in the beginning but the second he met Jaewon, he started to change to a bolder/sassier version of himself. He literally bloomed with Jaewon on his side. It was amazing so I like to applaud Jun Taek for his amazing acting skills.
Spoilers ahead:
Now the story itself. Just wow! The way they made me suddenly believe in "Love at First Sight" was something else. Because you can't tell me that wasn't love at first sight when Jihyun broke up the fight between Jaewon and Taehyung. The way they locked eyes and the way Jihyun gently let his hand slide over Jaewon's arm, I felt that and I was hooked right away. Maybe I also fell in love at first sight at that moment.🤭
Tumblr media
After that everything just clicked. The moment in I think episode 3? that Jaewon & Jihyun waited for the Cab, was the moment I was left breathless because the moment he grabbed Jihyun, things got super intense and I was in awe because I felt that stare. Like damn!!!!! That was definitely something else.
Tumblr media
The thing that did irk me but didn't ruin the story or anything was the way Jaewon sometimes treated Jihyun, like after that first kiss, he ghosted him and I get it. He must've felt confused and didn't want to drag Jihyun into his dark world, so I felt sad for Jihyun but when Jihyun took it upon himself to seek Jaewon out, I already forgave Jaewon for everything🤭
When their relationship started to deepen, I was again impressed with how Jihyun had control over Jaewon. Not in a bad way but more in a comforting way. The scene with them in the restaurant where Taehyung made that remark about not having siblings. The way Jihyun immediately grabbed Jaewon's leg which made Jaewon calm down, was brilliantly done. Now the way Jaewon is completely in love with Jihyun is also a pleasure to see. I loved it that he actually went to Jihyun when he needed him and that Jihyun just went with him without too many questions, not like Jaewon was answering them until later but anyway. Their trip was amazing. I loved the moment where they slept on the beach. Jihyun was cold and he actually went closer to Jaewon and JAewon just accepted it and held him. I loved that and then the kissing in the water. I loved that so much, the teasing made it even more perfect.
Tumblr media
then the scene in the hotel? room, just perfection. I loved the way they shot this as well. It was intimate without showing too much. I loved the playfulness and the pure bliss on their faces and especially on Jaewon. It was like he had finally found his safe haven. It was just perfection and also the song choice was the cherry on top.
Tumblr media
Now I don't want to talk about what happened after because I got "traumatized" by that as well. How could they do that to us and made us wait a week before we found out if he was alive or not. Thankfully he did survive but Jaewon had fallen back into his darkness, which seemed even more severe than before. Also Taehyung I hate his guts, the way he provoked Jaewon and then tried to get him expelled. Believe me, I would've done the same thing to him for making a remark like that, assh*le.
But thankfully Jihyun came to the rescue again. I loved that he did that, especially since Jaewon was ignoring him. I felt sad every time Jaewon looked at Jihyun. He wanted to be him so badly but couldn't because of his guilt. In the process of that he did everything he could to keep Jihyun away even by hurting him with his words or by letting Eun Ji kiss him, which still makes my stomach turn because that was so damn awkward every time it happened. Now I do like the way Jaewon was shocked to see Jihyun's painful shock when Eun Ji was kissing him. I think that did something to him and after talking to Jihyun's boss, he felt bad for sure. When he was sitting at the waterside, I at first didn't spot his tears but after watching it again I saw them and I actually felt really sad and wished he just got up and ran to Jihyun, which after finally reading his texts, he did. That song from Conan Gray made everything better and the way Jihyun knew he had finally come, gave me shivers. I actually applauded that scene and everything that happened after was perfect. The sweet scene in bed where they just hugged each other comfortably just made me cry out of happiness.
Tumblr media
I love how clingy Jihyun is. that scene on the roof where he just melts into Jaewon, was just "chef's kiss" and again you can tell that Jaewon loves Jihyun so so much. I just love it and the way he immediately clears things up for Jihyun when he asked was also a fresh breath of air. Like no beating around the bush just a straight "Yes, we are dating" THANK YOU!!!!!
Tumblr media
I didn't like how he made up with Taehyung though because if that was me. I would not even want to be in the same room. but anyway, I love that we got our happy ending and when it was over after that sweet kiss and the road trip I felt sad because it ended but what more can you wish for tbh. It was a perfect ending.
Tumblr media
So yeah what else can I say except for this was pure Perfection.

I thought now would be the proper time to talk about my (maybe slightly unpopular) opinions on The Eighth Sense. Here are my thoughts on this show, why I think it was so popular, and my overall opinion on kbl. At least, the ones I've seen so far.
So grab your tea and some biscuits, because this might be a long one.
I loved The Eighth Sense. Let's just get that out of the way real quick. I thought the actors had so much charm, I love everyone they wanted us to love and hate everyone they wanted us to hate, and the characters themselves were also great and refreshing.
Jihyun is a country mouse, but he's independent and unyielding. Jaewon doesn't keep a distance because of any kind of homophobia, but because of his own self-deprecation. The characters, for the most part (I'll get into that more in a bit) are very nice and good-hearted people. Except for two, but we don't like them, so we will be ignoring them.
I saw the reaction people had to this show, so I had to check it out, and yeah, I get the hype online. Very quickly, I realized why it was being talked about so much. Has anyone ever seen the show Skam? Either the Norwegian or French versions? Well, The Eighth Sense is shot exactly like that. To someone who's never seen anything but the Asian-based bls, seeing that European style on a kbl is kind of surprising. Even if you have seen Skam, the style is still shot more "indie" with simpler, quieter scenes, and it's not something we're used to seeing with non-European characters. At least, not in a bl.
That said, a lot of the shots are a little too... artsy, in my opinion, and I didn't like some of them. Like as Jihyun comes down the stairs at one point, the scene cuts to him on opposite sides of the staircase, or there were mirror scenes, or closeups on people's faces for no reason, and they kept yanking me out of the scenes.
But the real controversial opinion comes here, are you all ready?
I think the show could be a little... offensive sometimes.
I mention this because I didn't see anyone else say it, and maybe I'm just missing those posts, but... you guys ever notice that the chubbier characters are always snacking on something? It's such a small, but such a gross stereotype. If you're not stick-thin, it's because you're constantly eating. And then, wouldn't you know it, these only two chubbier characters end up with each other at the last minute even though they never shared so much as a scene throughout the whole show, AND despite the fact that Joonpyo clearly had a thing for Aeri. But oh, she's this pretty little social thing, so we can't have them together.
And... Hedwig. Look. If they'd teased him and had a problem with him because of how rude he is, fine. Great. But from the very beginning, before he's even said a word to anyone, he's being laughed at and mocked, not just by our sweet little country mouse and his friend, but by the entire class and professor just because of how he's dressed and how over the top he is. What, because it comes from a queer character and an ally, it's okay? It just really left a bad taste in my mouth.
And that's really it. Oh, and the fact that the villains are forgiven in the end so easily despite not deserving it for a second, but that's more a personal preference. I really enjoyed the show, the acting was amazing, and Jihyun is actually pretty inspiring for how tough he is. That said, no, I don't think it was the flawless masterpiece that everyone else seems to think it was. It was certainly shot different, but not perfect.
That's pretty much the gist of kbl, in my opinion. They're shot different--quieter scenes, more of a budget with things like mics and soundtracks--but not perfect. Could any other show, from any other country, do what Until We Meet Again did? Could any random couple manage in My School President better than Gemini and Fourth? I don't think so. And a lot of that comes down to how Studio Wasabi (I know that's not what they're called, but that's what I've always called them) and GMMTV do things, even with the smaller budget.
I also think that a lot of this "kbl is the superior" attitude comes down to BTS and k-drama hype. A lot of people are caught up in the whirlwind and excitement of the Korean everything coming out nowadays, but for someone who already had her BTS and k-drama phase long ago, I'm just not as taken in, I guess?
I don't know, personally, bigger budget doesn't equal better. And I think giving kbl this much praise for just starting to do what thai, japanese, and taiwanese bl have been doing for years now (and with plenty of flaws, too, Semantic Error and Unintentional Love Story are the only two I can think of that I enjoyed beginning to end without any really uncomfy moments) is, I'm sorry, just a little ridiculous. I think they still have ways to go before they're my go-to for bl.
