Erro Semântico (2022)

So good!

I've watched this 3 or 4 times already, and more when you consider how many times I rewatched scenes and clips. I absolutely love this series! Idk why I haven't reviewed it yet....but the more I watch it, the more I like it. The music has me bopping along to it without me realizing it. The sweet kisses makes me smile. I love that there is growth within both the main characters. All the characters are portrayed really well in my opinion.

I swear, my favorite scene is when Jae Young walks around the corner in a leather biker jacket and winks at Ryu Ji Hye. I think I'd have had the same stunned reaction that the 2 girls did! LOL

So lets talk about what I don't like. Park Seo Ham has a really good complexion. So why do they have to put so much makeup on him?? As good looking as he is, there are times when he reminds me of a corpse because of the heavy makeup they use. That's not cool. Also, the last episode is a little rushed in my opinion. They could have given it 5 more minutes and it would have been fine. And...um....I think that's about it. I think there's nothing else I disliked.

If you haven't seen it yet, it's definitely worth watching.

Cute & Short BL Romance

When computer science major Choo Sang-woo calls out Department of Design's Jang Jae-young for not helping him with a class project, Jae-young decides to get even by making his life a living hell. This was a really cute and short LGBTQ romance - 30 minutes long with eight episodes total. The actors had a ton of chemistry with plenty of fun banter and sweet romantic moments. They have their fair share of miscommunication, like any other show in the romance genre, but it never detracted from their story. I adored the friendships they have (or develop) throughout the story. While I would have liked it to be a tad longer to flesh out some of the story or characterization, I do appreciate that it didn’t overstay its welcome. If you ever have an afternoon free and you are looking for an opposites-attract romance with semi-steamy skinship, this show may just be what you ordered!

best korean bl ever

this drama is so so good- i watched it in one sitting. 22:00 to 1:16- i watched it all. this bl is so good, it has the perfect balance of romance and plot- it correctly uses the plot to build the couples relationship and gives the perfect fluff to plot ratio. the main couple’s chemistry is AMAZING- and their relationship dynamic is to die for. they’re so adorable together and the way that this drama allows the mc to come out of his shell and begin to feel real emotion is so amazing. i also love how at the beginning he compares his feelings to the functions of a computer but at the end he abandons the analogy and accepts his feelings as they are- i love the small details of development. this director needs a raise because this plot was beautifully written and executed. every detail was perfect. i love this drama sm and the acting was amazing. best bl i’ve watched ever. watch it !!

Second tme was even better

I originally watched this as the episodes came out. I realy enjoyed it then. I just re-watched it straight thru and enjoyed it even more. Are the usual tropes there? Yes but something about this story just feels different to me. It is now one of my comfort go to's. I love the actors and their chemisty. My only problem is (as it is with all 10 episode Korean BL's) I wish they would add 2 more episodes so it doesn't feel quite so rushed. I can accept how quickly they go from enemies to lovers because as I re-watched it I got the feeling that they really do like each other almost from the start. I will definately be re-watching this one again!

Fun & heart-fluttering

This show seriously shot its way up my list of favorite web dramas so fast. It's a travesty this couldn't go on for longer because I'm such a huge fan of this enemies-to-lovers (or more specifically annoyer & annoyee relationship) trope and I feel like this drama did it absolutely flawlessly.

The plot was straightforward and it had its cliches, but the drama didn't feel recycled at all — it was so refreshing, the leads absolutely killed their roles, and I just really loved how the story and relationship developed between the characters, who were simultaneously polar opposites and like two puzzle pieces that fit perfectly together.

The cinematography was also really good; it's not high production by any means but I really loved the symbolism of different colors as well as how the show edited SW and JY's scenes to parallel or contrast them.

It's also rare we get to see side characters get their due in these short shows, but Semantic Error really did an amazing job on the minor characters revolving around the leads; they not only had their own personalities and lives either, but I also just felt like their scenes were just as interesting and fun.

Overall, such a good drama with the perfect balance of fluff and tension. Definitely one I would return to watch.

Not perfect but still loved it!

I've never seen anyone make all red outfits look sexier than Jae-young. Standing ovation for my king!!!!

Semantic Error is like the family member that's riddled with flaws but you love them despite all of their issues. The plot could've been a lot stronger, the acting came off a little monotone and lacked range, and for most of the series the script felt too fluffy and unrealistic. These are pretty much the same issues I have with most Korean BL's, but as I said despite all this I really grew to love Semantic Error with each passing episode. It started off a bit slow and shaky but progressed nicely into it's conclusion. The chemistry between Jae-young and Sang-woo was great and the kissing scenes were a far improvement from other K BL's. I actually felt something each time they kissed. I know it's literally like asking for diamonds to fall from the sky but I'm hoping for a second season. It would be nice to see Jae and Sang establish their own successful gaming business and subsequently experience strains on their relationship, putting their love for each other to the test (cliche and cheesy I know but it would be cute lol).

Maravilloso Enemies to lovers BL

FINALIZADA: el mejor BL coreano hasta la fecha para mi!!!! La única pega es que ha sido demasiado corto!!! Queremos más, queremos una segunda temporada y una terceraaaaa. Gran producción, música, fotografía y casting!!! Aunque disponía de pocos minutos y capítulos, la historia está muy bien contada, un enemies to lovers sin toxicidad, más bien con muchos elementos divertidos y entretenidos...y que, al pasar de los capítulos nos va contando una historia de amor que destaca por ser cálida, luminosa, y llena de respeto y consentimiento. Una joya a destacar entre tanto BL tóxico donde se nos vende violencia y comportamientos abusivos con el disfraz de relaciones románticas. Felicidades a todo el equipo de la serie por crear esta historia tan bonita!!

Después de los 4 primeros capítulos estoy enganchada! Toda la producción es fabulosa, los protagonistas tienen una química que echa chispas, la historia está muy bien contada y no se pierden en mil posibles parejas sino que todo está centrado en los dos protagonistas y como evoluciona su relación. Me encanta el casting! Los dos chicos son fabulosos y su diferencia de altura es algo que me encantaaaaaa! Sé que es un cliché sobre todo en los manhuas BL pero este cliché me ha ganado! Es un hate to love muy chulo, a mi parecer nada tóxico, muy "cute": la historia se centra en un estudiante de informática y su relación con un "sunbae" de la facultad de arte. Estos dos chicos chocarán al principio. Uno introvertido y antisocial, rígido y centrado en estudiar y en sus perfectos programas informáticos no soportará tener que relacionarse con el otro, un espíritu libre y un poco alocado, muy atractivo, impulsivo y de carácter alegre y jovial. Las escenas juntos son muy interesantes, las voces, la fotografía. Los amigos del Sunbae me gustan mucho también. Además el juego de cámara es malevolamente sexy o sea, es que la cámara hace unos planos de sus caras, de sus labios, de su cara, con gran clase, es hermoso de ver!!!
En el capítulo 4 he gritado en plan, ahhhhhh varias veces, mariposas en el estómago completamente!!!
Quiero más y más de ellos! Va a ser una tortura esperar los capítulos cada semana! Felicidades por esta bonita historia!!!

Chemistry chemistry chemistry

The main thing that lacks in majority of the kBL dramas is chemistry between the main leads. Sometimes the plot is quite good but their chemistry ruins the whole thing. Majority of the time it's only one of them being spontaneous and the other one just stands still. Semantic error actors did a great job potraiting their characters really well. Only to my star and light on me characters had this level of chemistry. No one could've done a great job as Sangwoo other than Jaechan and surprisingly I liked the live action Jaeyoung more than the manhwa. It's a must watch for BL lovers and good quality drama lovers in general.

wow

The perfect enemies to lovers story.

perfect story. perfect cast. perfect acting. perfect pacing.

One of my favorite things about this show is that the story progressed so flawlessly without spending too much time on any one arc or problem. Although, I will say the one downside is that the ending was sort of anti-climatic, but I was still satisfied if that makes any sense.

Overall, I wish I could rewatch this again for the very first time. It definitely has become one of my favorites and I'll really miss anticipating the next episode.

Season 2?

This is how you do Adaptations!!!

I rarely give reviews but I had to because this series really shot up in my BL list and definitely deserved the hype and love all over the world.

STORY - While enemies to lovers is not new to the viewers, the way it was written even from the webtoon itself is pure genius. You can see the little details that makes it stand out, from the minute changes of character development, even the props that really adds to the emotion/story of each scenes.

ACTING/CAST - When the cast was announced, I still had reservations because I have seen the webtoon and of course it it’s a Live Action - will they live up to the expectations. And boy oh boy, they delivered. You can tell they studied their characters well and I Just love that they are really good actors. Of course one thing that makes the series good is the CHEMISTRY. Had to caps it because from the get go, they had really captivated the audience and the tension between them is palpable.

MUSIC - Both Romantic And Can you Stay OST are top notch. You can’t deny, in k dramas, they really have a track record of playing the best and suitable songs on every scene. I love how playful RD is and how soft/tender Can you stay is. Definitely the best.

REWATCH - this is the category that is the hardest for me to rate in each shows. But I love how the storytelling of this show is timeless. You can never get bored and it is not a hard watch for me like some dramas where I don’t want to relive the drama or any non value adding scenes/fillers. This show delivers in each scenes like bam bam bam. Definitely a series you can rewatch over and over again. And this I will do until Seoham comes back from enlistment.

OVERALL - 10/10 for me. Congrats Semantic Error Team, Seoham and Jaechan. Good luck with the comeback and please come back safely Seoham. Fingers crossed we have a second season after 2 yrs. Who knows the manhwa might be finished by then and the Park Couple will have more story to tell. ??

A Simple Story Turned Into Wonders

The overall premise if you haven't watched the show, might seem simple because it is but SIMPLICITY sometimes could work and this show showed that. Let us start with the enemies to lovers trope that the story behold upon us, the reasoning between the two's hatred for each other at the start is completely sensible, Jaeyoung being angry at Sangwoo for making him do anothe r year in College and Sangwoo being angry at Jaeyoung for ruining his organized & uptight routine. With all of this combined, the romantic progression between the two main characters makes it more interesting and not dull just like any other enemies to lovers trope. Seoham perfectly fits the character of Jaeyoung, who is flirtatious, mischievous, confident whilst also being endearing. Jaechan also portrays the organized, cold, and uptight Sangwoo. Both of their different personalities clashed together really well making swoon worthy moments. The cinematography is ok, the music though especially "Romantic Devil" was so catchy, and the other side characters are enjoyable yet lacked depth (well what do we expect the drama has only 8 episodes). Probably, the best Korean BL out there, it will be hard to top this one WATCHA.
