Semantic Error (2022)

Oh what to say about this. It's pure perfection. When I first heard of this I really wasn't too bothered, I had seen little clips from the 1st couple of episodes as they were airing and I didn't want to give it a chance to be honest, I didn't think I would like it. Little did I know it would become one of my favourite bls and the series I hold closest to my heart. I have rewatched it more times than I can count and the experience is the same everytime.

Park Seoham and Park Jaechan were destined to be casted in this bl thats for sure. Their chemistry is one of the major working gears of this series. Not only is the story one to be remembered but so is the acting. They did such an amazing job, I'm not going to spoil anything, just trust me and watch it, you won't regret it.

I have to add also that it led me to DKZ (Jaechan's kpop group) and KNK (Seoham's former kpop group) and theyre definitely worth listening too. There's a cameo in the 5th episode I believe of the DKZ members including the new members which were revealed on the series before they were actually revealed to fans

Cute and fun.

This was a very well done story. The acting is good. The story is cute and well done. The main couple had good chemistry. I admit that I don't pay much attention to the music unless it really touches me, but it seemed good. I was interested from the very first scene all the way to the last. Enjoyable and has high rewatch value.

Apparently you have to have 500 characters to write a review, which seems silly when I said everything I wanted to say already, but here we are. I could probably give a blow by blow account of the entire series in 500 characters, the whole series wasn't that long!

It's a TEN from me.

I gave this a straight up 10 across the board because I have zero complaints.

The actors were all enjoyable in their roles and the characters were all likeable. The music wasn't overpowering. The build up was paced evenly considering the short length of the show and episodes. The story and dialogue were good, simple, but was executed well and the scenes weren't trying too hard, the scenario wasn't exaggerated and the production value is easy on the eyes. Over all, really very pleasant to watch.

Moreover, the pairing have actors who were comfortable with each other, seemed natural and had good chemistry and the pairing's dynamic was quirky, awkward, playful, teasing and funny, yet healthy (nice for change, these BL series often have very unhealthy dynamics) and it was sweet. I appreciated the simple communication between the pairing and I think a season 2 would be great, but even as it is, it was very enjoyable.

What can I say except that I LOVED this?

(English is not my first language so please excuse any mistakes)

Where to begin... It was my first ever BL series and damn it was amazing. (I'm writing thing months after so I've watched lots of BL in the mid time and also rewatch it several time)
Acting was on point, it was not cringe (expect maybe the "I'm gonna pat pat you as a reward" but 'll let go this)
The story isn't very original (a university plot, 2 guys forced to work together and who end up to like each other) but it was somehow addictive ! Idk if it's because of the actors, the way it was filmed but after 5th time I watch it I'm still not bored, I still enjoy every minutes, never skip anything (something that I do a lot when I don't like soles scenes) !
I've read the manhua and I must admit that I preferred the drama : it was way softer but we still had amazing kiss scenes and romantic scene at the final episodes. Rye jie ( I think it's her name ?) Is cute and for once portrayed a girl not in an excessive way: she understands that Sangwoo doesn't like her and decide to let it go.
I found this drama just so realistic, so plausible, convincing.
As an artist myself, I really enjoyed that side of the drama, because for once we don't have the same university faculty represented. (Hum... Engineer...hum...)

Also can we talk about the MUSIC. It is AMAZING. the best ost drama I've ever heard and one of the rare one I added to my playlist. It is so good !

I think this drama will stay as one of my favourite for a long time

THIS KOREAN BL DRAMA IS FIRE! The chemistry between the actors is so dang good. You will not regret watching this drama. FROM THE ACTORS, TO ACTING AND FROM THE SETTING, IT'S FIRE. I BADLY WANT A SEASON 2 OF THIS KBL DRAMA. HUHUHUHUHUHUH. The scene that I liked the most is when Seo-Ham smiled and when Seo-Ham patted Jeong-Chan's head. ACKKKKKKK KILIG MUCHHHH. CAN'T WAIT FOR THE LAST 2 EPISODESSSS. Sadly, Seo-Ham will enlist to the military on March 10th (the date when the last episode of semantic error s1 will air) so Semantic error s2 will be possible in 2024 (if there is a s2). THIS BL DRAMA IS WORTH THE WATCH, I'M TELLING YOU. WATCH IT RIGHT NOWWW!

Você tem que olhar!

Esse drama é tudo! e ponto final.

Já era grande fã da novel e manhwa/webtoon antes do drama e confesso que fiquei bem preocupada quando anunciaram a adaptação. Normalmente, não costumo gostar delas.

Primeiro, Park Seoham (ex-KNK) e Jaechan (DKZ) pra mim, foram a escolha perfeita e improvável. Nunca que iria acreditar que eles pudessem fazer o drama e fiquei apavorada quando anunciaram o cast kkk mas tiro o meu chapéu pros dois. QUIMICA DE MILHOES!! conseguiram me fazer amar os dois de uma forma que ainda não tinha conseguido com nenhum drama coreano.

Houve sim modificações do manhwa pro drama, por obvio, mas nenhum - pelo menos pra mim - trouxe grandes problemas, foram detalhes pontuais e que talvez, até por censura foram tirados, ex: no manhwa o jae tem habito de fumar, isso nem foi assunto no drama.

De resto, visual impecável e atuações muito acima da média para dramas BLs, o roteiro não deixou a desejar em momento algum, muito fluido. A fotografia é divina, de outro mundo! Os cenários e o bom uso deles fizeram toda diferença.

Valido mencionar o pessoal do que interpretou os personagens secundários, todos fora de série, mas todo meu amor pra linda e maravilhosa Song Ji Oh,! Não tem como não simpatizar e amar a personagem.

Semantic Error é um marco, simplesmente. Do inicio ou fim.

Vale muito a pena ver e rever.

An addictive series that makes you crave for more

This is by far 1 of the best BL series Korea has ever made. It's up there along with Where Your Eyes Linger, To My Star and Light On Me. Adapted from an already popular novel, the story certainly came to live with everyone involved. I really want to thank the director, Kim Soo Jung, for her impeccable good eye of all the beautiful angles and cinematography. So many picturesque shots, they were all so exquisitely filmed! Plus the impressive use of light & shadow. She has my respect! With only 19 days, it's by far an amazing feat in my books. You can definitely feel the heart & soul put into producing this series. I want to give a big thank you to Park Seo Ham & Park Jae Chan too, for accepting this role & making me believe in your character. Of course there's no denying the chemistry between our 2 leads. Definitely thanking the casting director for not giving up on Park Seo Ham who initially thought he couldn't make it to film this beautiful series. Indubitably, I wish & pray for a 2nd season too but with Park Seo Ham in the military & being that anything can happen in the entertainment industry especially in 2 years time...my hopes are not high to get a 2nd season what more with the same leads.

ITS SO SO SO GOOD. Very sweet and romantic

The intro in ep1 was so captivating and satisfying. The editing in the intro and in the actual series is really good, it's really fun. It's one of those that will make scream because you couldn't take it lol (in a good way).

The setting and plot is quite typical but even though it was like that, it makes you excited to watch the next episode or atleast anticipate. It has quite a lot of really sweet and romantic scenes, like scenes where they hug eachother instead of kissing, it just shows how much the characters actually love each other that being with each other is enough.

The music is really really good too, something I'd actually listen to on repeat. I've seen a few Korean bl dramas and so far this one is the best in terms of quality production, acting and etc, i think it'll be one of my favorites AND my favorite bl kdrama.

As for a rewatch? Definitely! I just know that it will give me the same excitement watching it again. The editing makes it way more fun. Definitely a must watch <3

Good but not great

Let me say this.. Did I like the drama? -yes
But did they ruin the story? - again yes.
Like bro I read the manhua and it was so good so I didn’t necessarily get the reason for changes they made in the drama. Idk was it to make it a bit different or for having way less time per episode to show the detailed story. But whatever the reason might have been I didn’t quite enjoy the changes.
They changed the story in some places and that annoyed the shit outta me. Like they never mentioned Sang-woo's part time job. Like there's basically where the rivalry began. And the story of meeting that girl was changed too. And so many other details were changed. And the time was too short. Like bro give us a full length bl series lol
Now lets come to the good part. The cast and their acting. Chef's kiss. Their chemistry was mind blowing. And both the main leads being idols made it even better like yess Korea is improving so much. These two as main leads was the best decision of whoever chose them lol.
Even though the series had a lot of changes from it's webtoon and the time was too short, it was very bearable and addictive. Like Their chemistry carried the whole show. Give us season 2 already.

YOU HAVE TO WATCH IT

I must say that I am a fan of Kdramas, but when it comes to BL Series, I always go with Thai BL Series. This is my fourth Korean BL actually: When My Eyes Linger, To My Star and Light on Me, but definitely Semantic Error is the best Korean BL I have watched so far. Although the story plot was too common, I must admit I watch it for 5times already.

The development of their love story was precise and fast. No unneeded scenes. From being enemy to being lover I love every scene of it. Park Seo Ham and Park Jae Chan was perfect as Sang Woo and Jae Young . The whole 8 episodes were overwhelming. I was really surprised with the kissing scene specially when I read an article that the original script doesn't contain any kissing scene at all. I counted it ha ha ha 6 or 7times. Semantic Error sets the new standard of Korean BL Series, its not only with leveled up kissing scenes but the chemistry between the actors, the acting was not exaggerated plus a topnotch visuals, oh my Perfect... I am hoping for Season2 but I wish both of them could make a full length Kdrama in the future specially Park Seo Ham...
