Refreshing!!

This drama was nearly perfect. It was shot in such a beautiful way that felt really fresh and didn't feel like the typical over-produced kdrama.

Jihyun, a college freshman, meets Jaewon by chance one night while working at his part-time job. The two continue to cross paths, and Jihyun joins the surfing club in order to get closer to Jaewon. As the two begin to spend more time together, their relationship grows as they navigate hardships.

The interactions between the characters in this felt so much more real than most kdramas. The conversations have awkward silences, they're nervous on first dates, etc. and it's super enjoyable to watch. I was super worried that this would end on a sad note, but was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this one, start to finish. There was a bit of a lull in the later episodes where you just want them to solve their problems and be happy, but it's never overly frustrating. The colors, the music, and the shots were all beautifully done. 100% worth the watch.

First love

The cinematography is so beautiful. I could almost feel the freedom in the surfing scenes. The acting is on point. The portrayal of a going somewhere new and wanting to fit in, but not knowing how to, is well done. All the cringey awkwardness is there and so well done.

What I liked: it was 10 episodes of beautiful acting showing all the angst and fear of not knowing or completely understanding your first real love. Really beautiful. Many of the characters had to deal with loss and the fear of loss and it wasn't done in a dramatic way.

What I didn't like: the constant indecision - I know that's how it can be sometimes when you find love! There was a weird scene in episode 9, but maybe I missed something before that scene.

Deep, Independent and dramatic

This KBL is one of the best KBL I watched, this KBL has a different flavor for me, its not the typical school youth drama we can usually watch but it has a sense of like deeper sides and it is more dramatic.
I liked dramas with visuals like this, where we can feel the emotion of the drama right away, it is not the cheesy school dramas but a realistic one in terms of day to day situation.
in The situation of the JaeWon, he was ondergoing a theraphy from a psychologist maybe due to being depressed of losing His younger brother--that made me think that maybe he liked Jihyun becuase he is just longing for a younger brother that made me think it is possible to happen, maybe that is his drive of liking Jihyun where I guess it is okay for me
they are just new to having a relationship with same sex and it is good that they will try and overcome together with what will come on their way with their relationship
All in all, I liked it because they really did a great job on doing this drama i really felt it, I like the cast, i like the feels and I liked how dramatic it is ❤️

Might i say, THEE best bl of all time…

Out of all the bl’s i have seen (and i have seen most) this is by far the best one. and i’m not even kidding. The chemistry of the two leads is literally the best i’ve ever seen and the love they have for each other was so emotional and touching. The romance that we see between them is so natural and cute and i haven’t seen anything that’s felt so real before! The acting was beautiful and believable from everyone involved , (i could rant about this forever…) the characters were consistent and well written, the story raised awareness to important issues of mental health and dealing with trauma. The directing and quality of production was stunning too. everything was an artistic choice and it really makes a difference when watching! Definitely watch if u wanna feel LOADS of butterflies in ur tummy lol

Sensing what's happening inside

The title of this K-drama sets the theme for the journey of these characters. Most of us think we have 5 senses, but in fact we have 8, and the final sense is the ability to feel what is happening inside ourselves. It's the ability to feel our heart beat, our breath come in and leave the body, and feel how our emotions are experienced within the body - the heaviness of our heart, a
droop in our shoulders, a tightness in our throats - all these sensations inform us of our emotional and mental states.

How do we work with our emotional states? How do we make sense of the unpleasant ones? Do we try to avoid them, ghost them, run away, or do we understand that fear and risk are a natural part of the human experience and learn to feel them, how to be with them? This is the crux of this intricately woven story.

All the senses are in sharp focus in this drama. Through some scenes which are shot with a handheld camera, we feel our sese of balance and gravity challenged. Close ups of food awaken our sense of taste, the sensuality of touch is explored in some of the more intimate scenes, and every scene contains shots of breathtaking cinematography, where colours shine in dull settings. We become aware of sound, as the soundtrack dips in and phases out, background noises can be filtered out or left in, there are long periods of silence too, where quiet becomes a sound of its own. There is innovative use of camera work and filters, sometimes light, sometimes dark, sometimes the focus is on the characters and the background blurred, it's daring and experimental and ever changing, just like the nature of how we sense our experiences, an ever changing kaleidoscope of awareness.

The plot moves with pace, but nothing is rushed, and sometimes the story line leaves us bereft and shocked, but the final episode pulls everything back into a slow unfolding, restoring and completing and then opening out again into this great mystery of human experience.

One of the major themes of this drama is liminal spaces and life transitions. We have one set of characters transitioning from adolescence to adult hood as they begin their university studies, the other set of characters prepare to leave and enter the workforce. Each requires a letting go of the old and stepping into a new phase of life. Working with loss and letting go, taking chances and risks with the new is explored by all the characters to some degree. It is no surprise then that many of the crucial scenes take place in a beach setting, which is a threshold place between the solid and known land, and the wild unknown sea. Across many cultures, water is a symbol of the unconscious mind. We cannot penetrate its depths but can only move with it. This is a story about working with the forces within us, both known and unknown.

This is a K-drama unlike any other and moved me like no other. It's left me with a sense of challenge to navigate my own life transitions, my own fears, with as much internal awareness as I can.

I FEEL REALATED

For me, who is struggling with depression every day, I really feel very related to Jaewon and wish I had a Jihyun (unfortunately not :)))) the feeling that life has nothing nice, my family doesn't understand me, mental breakdown every day but still trying to pretend I'm fine, always wanting to help and comfort everyone. Laughing by day, crying at night. Day after day wearing a mask of happiness as if nothing happened, but also day by day emotions fell to death. Yesterday I watched the deleted scene of Jaewon's mental breakdown and I burst into tears. No matter how hard he tries, he still can't get rid of the regret, guilt from the past.

Someone asked, is avoiding Jaewon's way of protecting Jihyun? That's right! Falling in love with a depressed person is never easy for anyone, Jaewon is just trying not to let Jihyun fall into that hole. But I also like the way Jihyun always waits for him silently. Jihyun is a kid from a small town who went to seoul to go to college, he doesn't have the mischief of an 18-year-old kid, but he is more calm and deep. The boy started everything with Jaewon. Making new friends, join a surf club despite being afraid of water, eat ramyeon in the han river, love and be loved, travel without any preparation, sleep on the beach, kiss, and even make love, everything is with his hyung. Even though Jihyun was rejected by Jaewon, Jihyun still understood for him, understood his feelings. Jihyun didn't try to force Jaewon at all, just slowly waiting for his hyung to turn to look at him. No matter how hurt he is, he always looks at Jaewon.

The most regretful thing when I watch the movie is, there is no scene of Jaewon carrying Jihyun to the hospital, no scene of Jaewon breaking down when hearing the news that the patient lying next to Jihyun in the ICU room died, I really want to feel the pain of Jaewon at that time :((

All in all, this was a great experience, and I can't stop rewatching it. Looking forward to ss2 as good as this!!!!
