I wasn't too sure so I did a bit of research and found this article. Not sure if it's on the right tracks, but I like its take: " Now, the concept of the eighth sense is not a scientifically recognized one; there are only our five traditional senses (sight, hearing, taste, touch, and smell) and the argued additional senses such as proprioception (body awareness) and vestibular (balance). However, the idea of an “eighth sense” is often used in a philosophical sense to refer to a heightened awareness or intuition beyond those traditional senses. (Yes, I had to do my research.) But again, with a concept like this, I had to think about why and how this story was using it, and that made me think about comparing the eighth sense to the concept of falling in love. It made me think about how love is not just a feeling but a heightened sense that allows us to experience the world in a deeper and more meaningful way. Just as our other senses allow us to perceive the world around us, the “eighth sense” of love enables us to connect with others on a profound level and experience the world through their eyes or perspective. And I believe this does relate to our story of Jae Won and Ji Hyun."

2025-02-17 17:55:22 +0000 UTCAbout what you asked in 10:35... yes, that really happens hahaha. In Asia, the hierarchy based on age is very strict (some countries more than others, with different nuances), and I’d say Koreans are the "worst" in that regard. Even two people born in the same year would argue about the proper way to address each other, despite only being a few months apart. The protagonists here have no more than a 4-5 year age difference.
