It took me a minute and 45 seconds to know that I would like this drama. I’m not even exaggerating. It was the scene with Ji Hoo looking for a place to live and you see him testing out a series of water pressures in various showers. The pure frustration and scream. I was rolling. The hilarity that ensures as you watch further is EXCELLENT. I was sold from that moment on. They managed to say a lot about a character without saying much in such a short amount of time. You learn in that one scene that he is very particular to the point we’re he fixates on water pressure of all things. He must be a privileged guy. Right? Then why is he looking for places that are likely cheaper then what he’s wearing? He has a dismissive attitude and is rude to the lady showing him around to these places. Yet his glee of seeing a flyer calling for a roommate and advertising great water pressure is just icing on top….love the kdrama magic that is building the blocks of a pending meet cute. The actor Kim Ji Woong acted as if the heavens parted ways to let the sun beams shine a light on the flyer. That didn’t actually happen. No light beam but his acting is so on point as if that could’ve happened. The giddiness he shows is soo adorable and then you think oh no this is shitty person but he is endearing? What do I do? Oh no I like him as a character now! Help!

So after writing a long ass paragraph about this one scene, this is me basically saying that I’m having such a blast watching this show. It is incredibly funny and makes me so happy. I’d be laughing out loud in one scene then in the next instance a character makes an offhanded comment that makes me feel for them. These 2 leads are soooo good. It boggles my mind that they were in Kissable Lips with how bad that drama was. As mentioned by someone else in their review, I also agree and wanted to say yes SAME because I felt the same way. It feels like a kdrama. In fact it feels like it could be a top performing kdrama on a level with wild popularity. But the reason why I don’t think it’ll get that far is because it’s a BL and it’s a BL with short episodes (8 in total) which is so unfair but homophobia is still an issue especially in Korea. Semantic Error is definitely a milestone drama that is helping to progress the genre. We are seeing more BLs slated to come out of Korea which is super exciting!!! So Im hoping this drama gets the traction that it deserves. It proved to me already that it can cover a lot in a short amount of time so we’ll see if 8 episodes is enough. I know only 4 episodes are out so I should calm myself but I’m having too much fun with this show already. Also, it was so nice to see Holland show up in the first episode!!!! He’s come a long way and gone through a lot since coming out to the public. So for now I’ll leave my thoughts till my next update once more episodes are out.
