Hello! On the mega link, you can find the translated episodes. I will translate them in numerical order but please note that it is a really time consuming job. Also neither English or German is my native language, so there might be some mistakes.
Edit: here's the mega folder for season 5
Something about this man makes me feral and delulu and I can’t explain what
Jae Won, still lost for words
Depressed boy is left speechless by country twink - again.
sunshine bambi and his biggest fan (1/?) the eighth sense, 2023.
We are dating. And as for me, I’m happy to have someone I can call my boyfriend. And I’m happier because it’s you. You’re cheesy. I’m sorry. I won’t make you sad again.

What is tradition?
I finally watched this week's episodes of The Eighth Sense and
Episode six was NOT a dream
Ji Hyun is alive but whatever happened is serious
This is a giant "fuck you" to tradition
First, Ji Hyun brings light to Jae Won's dark world. Jae Won is in a very dark place (and head space) after the confrontation with his dad and the camera breaking, so he reaches out to the light.
Ji Hyun is at his peak brightest because Jae Won is about to experience the darkest period of his life . . . again
Jae Won is also in a haze due to his mental state. The colors become less ethereal as their time together continues during the trip because Jae Won is becoming more grounded.
Next, since episode six is not a dream, that means something did happen to Ji Hyun, and it's serious.
Because it needs to be serious.
Someone already compared Jae Won to Team from Between Us. They share the same trauma. They share the same burden. They share the same mentality. Team loved Win but was too afraid to say it. He was too afraid to lose someone he loved like before. He was too afraid to push because the last time he pushed, there were fatal consequences.
Jae Won specifically voices this last concern. His brother died in front of him, and much like Team, I'm sure it is partially due to a rash decision Jae Won made, much like this one:
Someone pointed out that the back of their wetsuits read "RASH" and this entire beach trip was a rash decision by Jae Won.
If Jae Won feels responsible for his brother's death, he will definitely feel responsible for whatever happens to Ji Hyun, and because of that he will resort back to his old self even more.
Jae Won was an overachiever. The hospital staff thought he was older because he was mature and put together. He did exactly what his parents wanted. He did what society expected. He dated a girl. He befriended the masculine men. He did all of that, but lately, he has been rebellious. He's been drinking. He broke up with the girl. He is distancing himself from his friend(s). He doesn't want to go into business.
But this incident with Ji Hyun will put him back on the straight and narrow. It will scare him and shake him to his core because it is a reminder of what could happen when he doesn't stay in line - he could lose the one he loves the most. So to protect his heart and Ji Hyun, he will pull back, date the girl, hang out with his friends, and do what his parents ask. He will follow tradition.
But the problem with tradition is it's really just history repeating itself again, and again, and again.
The show is about the troubles with tradition. Tae Hyung is hellbent on keeping tradition alive. He wanted the freshmen to drink until they passed out on the beach trip. He wants them to cater to him. He is, at his very core, a traditionalist even though it has been pointed out several times how tradition hurt him. Yoon Won mentions every time how Tae Hyung was essentially bullied and hazed by his seniors, but instead of wanting to change for the better, Tae Hyung wants to continue the cycle of pain.
Ae Ri refuses to drink anymore at the beach. She rebukes traditional mindsets and gender roles. She speaks casually with the seniors and even when Yoon Won comments that the freshmen need to use formalities with the seniors, Ae Ri scoffs. She doesn't respect Tae Hyung and won't simply because he is a senior.
Tae Hyung needs tradition because it is predictable and structured. Ae Ri hates tradition because it is confining and restrictive.
Jae Won told his therapist that life after the military has been difficult. This is a common feeling. Military life is structured. Civilian life is full of choices. Military service is riddled with tradition. Jae Won is lost without the structure of tradition. He wants to break free, but the way he has been handling it (drinking, partying, not applying for jobs) is an extreme. Instead of one thing holding power over him, he is giving up power to anything and everything just so he doesn't have to make any decisions because when he does, people get hurt.
Jae Won wears a mask with everyone, but he was beginning to lean on Ji Hyun in hopes that Ji Hyun could make those decisions for him. Ji Hyun is the light in Jae Won's dark world, so why couldn't Ji Hyun just be Jae Won's entire world?
In the bar, Jae Won got upset at Tae Hyung but Ji Hyun was there to calm him down, both in the first episode and the fifth. But we saw in the trailer that Jae Won will hit Tae Hyung in the classroom because Ji Hyun won't be there to calm him down since Jae Won pushed Ji Hyun away after the incident.
Jae Won must take control of his own life instead of living in these extremes. He needs to find a balance within himself. He needs to define who he wants to be without depending on others to do it for him.
The accident with Ji Hyun is going to push Jae Won back into his comfort zone, so he will be alone again, pretending with everyone and masking his true self.
But he will realize his comfort zone is his hell, and HE is the only one who can rescue himself from it. Ji Hyun can't be around while Jae Won figures out who he needs to be. He can't keep repeating the same mistakes.
Because
Jae Won's biggest problem is himself
And
Jae Won's only solution is himself.
He must be his own light.
Sidenote: I'm gonna marry this queen.
I have an answer for you @wen-kexing-apologist. I have thoughts for you @waitmyturtles and @dribs-and-drabbles. I agree with you @bengiyo
This is PERFECT!!
As I read this, I feel Young royals and The Eighth sense have so much in common, esp
The TRADITION
Traditionalist: August and Tae hyung
Wilhelm and Jae won; their trauma, guilt, pressure.
those two ss of Jihyun and the therapist to Jae won sound so similar to Simon and Boris (therapist) to Wilhelm.
+ that Jae won's gonna be character arc, is exactly Wilhelm's. I love it.
@how-to-be-a-tree, YOU GET IT! I even compared the two before!
That's why I firmly believe that much like Wilhelm, Jae Won has to figure this out on his own in order to have a happy ending. They share several plot lines, and they both found light in someone else, only to shove that person away from fear.
I'm rooting for all the queer boys who say "FUCK TRADITION" and decide to love their guys.
I have faith in Jae Won just like I did Wilhelm.
Happy ending or we getting a season two!
