Production: 9.8/10 Visual FX: 10/10 Cinematography: 10/10 Story/Plot: 8/10 Acting: 9/10 Characters: 10/10 This a story filled with pain, happiness, tragedy and fluff. This kdrama is not your typical BL/gay series which is filled with cringe moments and shots. These drama has very mature and heavy with great character's that you'll surly start to love as time pass and root for them. I started to feel the characters pain and softness with them too. It's that how good this is! Be aware tho this drama holds some pretty touchy subjects like PTSD,Trauma moments and how to deal with them and start healing. Yeah there are plenty more series like this, plot might seem common but for a BL gener it has great cinematography and visuals that will make your eyes feel aesthetic and pretty. I stayed and watched it one day for the visuals and aesthetic of this drama. I wanna give credits and salute the camera men for giving us some beautiful shots and zooms. Overall Rate: 9/10 (Totally Recommended)!

Korea has given us some good BL series this year, like ”Unintentional Love Story”, ”A Shoulder to Cry on”, ”Love Class Season 2”, and ”Love Tractor”, but none of them was as unique or reached the same quality as ”The Eighth Sense”. The story sounds quite conventional. Country boy Ji Hyun (Oh Jun Taek) goes to study in Seoul, where he meets his senior Jae Won (Lim Ji Sub), a former member of the university's surf club, who has just completed his army service. Ji Huyn, who is scared of swimming in the sea, joins the surf club to be near Jae Won, who suffers from a childhood trauma. As the two of them go on a surfing trip, Ji Hyun almost drowns and has to spend some time in hospital, which worsens Jae Won's trauma. Getting back together after this incident is a real struggle for both young men. This series is near perfection in all respects – the cinematography is unrivalled in Asian BL series, the coloring is sensational, the acting great, the OST beautiful, and the whole production is cinema quality. As a dedicated fan of BL series, there are some iconic scenes stored in my brain which I can thus rewatch any time I want, e.g. Ohm and Nanon's rooftop scene in ”Bad Buddy”, Yin and War's kiss in the rain in ”Love Mechanics”, Nonkul's olive oil scene in "I Feel you Linger in the Aie", and now also the ending of episode 9 of ”The Eighth Sense” which sent shivers down my spine as I watched for the first time Ji Hyun and Jae Won run toward each other and finally kiss with Conan Gray singing ”The Story”. ”The Eighth Sense” is a unique experience which I can only compare with ”I Told Sunset About You”, and so this is my BL series of 2023.

This Space for Rent is a Canadian dramedy on CBC starring Dov Tiefenbach that premiered on January 4, 2006 as a 'special' CBC pilot as part of its "Comedy Week". Tiefenbach plays Lucky Carroway, a recent university graduate and writer who finds that life after university is not as perfect as it might seem. The show begins shortly after his valedictorian speech, when his world comes crashing down after his first book is rejected by his literary agent. His life becomes worse as his arch-nemesis becomes a published author who appears in "Vancouver Magazine's" top 10 writers list. He becomes a recluse who constantly wears his graduation robe and plays video games all day. However, he quickly recovers by writing a vicious 'letter to the editor' to Vancouver Magazine where he decries the selection of his arch-nemesis as a top 10 writer. This letter angers so many readers of the magazine that they offer him a job as an anonymous "Hate Male" article writer. He lives in downtown Vancouver in a flat with several friends. Emily Hampshire plays a recent law school graduate named Iona Goldenthal, a binge drinker who must deal with the chauvinistic world of law. Rainbow Sun Francks plays a recent graduate named Barnaby Sharpe who majored in economics and Russian literature. He fails his first audition and ends up working at a Jar Heads, a Starbucks parody, as a "coffee jerk". Kea Wong plays Rumour Wong, a medical intern and Lucky's girlfriend, who must deal with Lucky's mental breakdown and reclusive nature. Jason Bryden plays Elliot Hayden, a mutual gay friend who speaks Mandarin and frequents Chinatown. He teaches English to immigrant children and acts as a foil to the rest of the characters.
